Living is always a requirement, but living well is optional. I have chosen to live well. What does that entail? My 'off the top of the head' thoughts include:
1. enjoying the presence first of God, second of His people and then, managing to enjoy those of
differing moral standards, (who sometimes make me want to spit!)
2. 'sowing' into the lives of others
3. being available to serve when it is inconvenient
4. getting stuff (definition? Umm, later on that) done and done to completion.


I have a glaring character defect. Telling you about it (you can already guess it!) may have the joyous result of encouraging me to change! Tah DAH. . . .it is leaving jobs/stuff almost finished and maybe or maybe not coming back to it later to do the last bit. Numberless things are around the house TODAY that need 20 or 30 minutes more to get the last teensy bit accomplished. Do I agonize that they sit there on tables and chairs (yes, a chair is just a shelf you can sit on sometimes) for a few days or weeks and do not see the end? Nope!! Others could not leave things undone like that. ME?? I can. Willingly!

Maybe I will get the camera and take a few pics of
