A couple of short thoughts and a short story:

 *   Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.
          -- African Proverb 


   * Things could be worse.  Suppose your errors were
     counted and published every day, like those of a
     baseball player. (basketball/football player, politician!- per Karen)
          -- Anonymous

  *  Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.
          -- Jewish Proverb 

  
  *  Let us endeavor so to live that when we come
      to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
          -- Mark Twain

A Shortened Version of the 23rd Psalm

In his beautiful book, "I Shall Not Want," author Robert Ketchum tells of a Sunday School teacher who asked her group of children if anyone could quote the entire 23rd Psalm.  A golden-haired, four-and-a-half-year-old girl was among those who raised their hands.  A bit skeptical, the teacher asked if she could really quote the entire Psalm. 

The little girl came to the front of the room, faced the class, made a perky little bow, and said,

"The Lord is my shepherd, that's all I want."
