  • Wrong place and time; but innocent, of course

    Nick Saban, head coach of the University of Alabama football team, is quoted as saying; “There’s no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Like my old Aunt Lucy said, “Anyone can hear a buncha’ red flags flyin’ all over the place on that one.” You make choices.
  • Learn to 'hold your holt'
    Do what is right. Stand up, immovable, for what is good and true, and refuse to change. Edmund Burke, a famous British statesman once said, “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Guess we are now seeing living proof.
  • Don't live there, just visit once
    I heard this said recently, and it stuck. “Seems to me the past isn’t a great place to live, just a place to visit once, to learn from it.” Don’t waste your life in regrets of what you’ve done wrong. Visit there just once, long enough to learn differently. And then use your gray matter to live life better and happier.
