Twenty-five Things To Remember

1. There is a reason, a time, and a judgment for everything under the heavens.

2. Every day you are guided to your highest good. It's up to you to follow that lead.

3. Allow others to take pride in knowing your word is bond.

4. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. You character is what and who you really are; your reputation is merely what others "think" you are.

5. Faith is the ability to not panic.

6. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, then you have no reason to worry.

7. Loving someone is a conscious choice, not an emotional reaction.

8. Not one bit of your self-worth depends on your acceptance by others.

9. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

10. If you love or care about someone, don't want until its too late to tell them. Tomorrow isn't promised to us.

11. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.

12. Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is an optional choice not everyone is willing to make.

13. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry around.

14. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, loving someone deeply gives you courage.

15. Give thanks for the unknown blessings already on their way.

16. The most important things in your home are the people you share it with.

17. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage & determination. Learn from the turtle; it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck and makes one step after the other towards it's goal.

18. Integrity and responsibility is when you've reached that level of maturity where you'll admit to yourself and others "I have a problem". "It's me".

19. When you get tangled up in your problems, be still. Our master creator wants you to be still so he can untangle the knot.

20. Our Master Creator wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

21. Blessed are he or she who is flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

22. As a child of our Master Creator, daily prayer is kind of like calling home every day.

23. The truth never changes, people just get better at lying about it.

24. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is or has fallen in love with your smile.

25. As fathers, we must "always" be involved in our children's lives. Not when its convenient or easy, and not just when they are doing well; but when its difficult and thankless, and they're struggling and are most in need of our love, support, attention, companionship, and protection.
