This is great! Did you write this, turnorburn? I want to print it out but I'm out of ink. :verysad

 

[JoJo]

Let's see, I've been guilty of #1, 2, 3, 4, 5...oh man, probably all of them! 2

 

[turnorburn]

I came across this a year ago and no I don't have any information
as to who wrote it..

 

[Vic C.]

Very nice, Lee. I printed it out and hung it on the wall at work as a constant reminder.

:yes

For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. ~Job 11:15-17

Everyday is a new day to get yourself closer to Christ.

Some one have a stapler?

I need to staple these to my forehead.

An air-actuated stapler, preferably.

I've got a hard head. :bigfrown
