Things I Learned And Wrote At Age 26


  • Don't lie.  It's just more to memorize.

  • Life isn't easier for Christians, but it makes more sense.

  • You can have faith or control.

  • Your life is a balance: God on the right side, all else on the other.
    • Whatever you contribute to either end will affect the opposite.

  • You can live for your goods or you can live for your good.

  • If faith is worth anything, it's worth everything.

  • Forgiveness is the gift God gives to man.  Consecration is the gift man gives back to God.

  • Patience does not actually have to do with length of time.  It has to do with attitude.

  • I was so focused on what wasn't, I missed out on what was.

  • A good man compromises his preferences ever - his conscience never.

  • Always compare yourself temporally to those below you and morally to those above you.

  • Don't prepare for life.  Prepare for death.  Life is not guaranteed.  Death is.

  • A dad is the standard by which children measure all other men.

  • As you grow old, you either get better or you get bitter.

  • A fool is a man with no lordship over his temperaments.

  • Unless you are God, you never have to figure out who is going to heaven and who isn't.

  • There is a plethora of things to which everyone ought to be closed-minded.

  • The only way you don't fit in with good people is when there is too much of you.

  • The only person you need to be superior to is yourself yesterday.

  • Work equals worth.

  • A good man thinks: What would I say to my younger self?
    • A better man thinks: What would my younger self say of me?

  • Nature is God's great instrument.  He is not bound by it but will use it exclusively when it can be utilized as the vehicle to accomplish His purpose.

  • Charity and convenience are not friends.
