The young man I was is gone now, but for smiling. It is my hope that whatever malady or circumstance confronts me in the future, it will not take away my ability to smile with intelligence still in my eyes. I have seen vacant eyes too many times, dead eyes. The pity of death is when life leaves the eyes. Never wish a person to have dead eyes. You are as much as wishing them death and once dead there is only one coming back and that is through Christ and, thereby, God.
If you find me wandering here call me on it. If I took offense for my faults I would be dumber than I already am. Don’t be afraid to be dumb in some things you do as we all are. Learn from mistakes and don’t make them again. Prisons are full of repeated dumbness through unrequited mistakes.
Some of what I write here will be long, almost a treatise. Others, such as this, will be short and pointed. All of what I write here will be what I have learned through one mistake after another. I hope some of it helps some of you. That is all am attempting to do here.
