Some Observations About Life...

1. With time, proper resources (Mark 9:23), and imagination, nothing is impossible (Gen. 11:6) Aside from death, the only other modifier to this rule is that not all things are not worth doing.

2. Anger comes from fear. When you are in control, in no real danger, you never really get angery. You just do what you need to do. It's when you lose control of a situation that you get angry.

3. When you make a mistake, backtrack (apologize, etc.) as fast as you can. Otherwise, you may get stuck in your mistake.

4. If you're going to be stubborn, make sure that your right first.

5. Absence makes the heart go wander.

6. The truth is told straight and calm, but people will "add facts" (and volume) to an argument that they are unsure of. That is why in most arguments both sides are (at least a little) wrong. The key is they both know it.

7. It's not an honest journey if you don't get a little lost along the way.

8. There's one advantage to being in love with someone stubborn;
-If someone wishy-washy tells you they love you, you don't know if it's coming from the heart or from the circumstances they find themselves in. If someone really stubborn tells you they love you, you know it's basically true, because no force on the face of the planet could make them lie.

9. For the most part, for men success is more a goal than survival. In women, survival is more important than success.

10. There are three ages when children believe they know more than adults:
Seven, before they get hit with school,
At twelve, before they get hit with sex,
And at seventeen, before they get hit with life.

11. Everyone wants to be the hero. It's the lessons unlearned or the burdens borne that keep them from it. We all do try for a central decency.

12. There is a difference between what the mind knows and what the heart understands.

And one final one: All you can do is all you can do. Leave the rest to Jehovah.

August, 1998 - John C. Benson
