Well, can you?
Some words for you this week:
Man is certainly stark mad.
He cannot make a worm
and yet he will be making gods
by the dozens.
Montaigne
It’s a funny thought, isn’t it? We who cannot make a low creature like a worm persist in thinking we can make gods.
The lowest ebb
is the turn of the tide.
Longfellow
Good old Henry Wadsworth. Tuck that one away for when you are at the lowest ebb. The tide is about to turn!
Courage is what it takes
to stand up and speak;
courage is also what it takes
to sit down and listen.
Churchill
Courage to speak; courage to listen. Never thought about courage perhaps being needed to “sit down and listen.” Thoughts?
The difference between
the right word
and the almost right word
is like the difference
between lightning
and the lightning bug.
Mark Twain
When the kids were in high school, they used a literature course called “Lightning Lit,” the name of which was based on that quote.
For God has not given us
a spirit of fear,
but of power
and of love
and of a sound mind.
St. Paul, 2 Timothy 1:7
Remember this! (I’m telling myself)
This worm of a post will be deleted in the morning.

I like the sketch. Is that a from a deer you saw?
Love that Mark Twain quote. Many great memories from Lightning Lit too!

That’s a sketch I did after we hit a deer last year, but I did the sketch from a photo I found on the Internet. Thanks!
It’s good to know that your memories of Lightning Lit are fond ones! I thought they did a good job with those at Hewitt.
