QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

QUOTE: Movie line

A Loyalist commander asks, “And who empowered these colonials to pass judgment on England’s policies, and to come and go without so much as a “by your leave”? Cora Munro answers, “They do not live their lives ‘by your leave’! They hack it out of the wilderness with their own two hands, bearing their children along the way!”

Ahh, to have the courage as in the movies. Maybe by thinking that way, I could become that way!

EXHORTATION

Four-Year-Old Calls 911 to Save Mom
Tuesday, 01 May 2007

"A toddler in Alaska knew to call 911 when his mother collapsed and lost consciousness, thanks to a children's board book his grandmother had sent several months earlier." (AP)

I don’t have a first hand source to cite, but do we underestimate others. What are people really capable of doing. Only the Intelligent Designer really knows when we should quit. Like the old movies where the hero urges “just put one foot in front of the other, one more step, then another”, how do we know when we can’t do something. I’m reminded of the “learned helplessness” of baby elephants. Maybe we can do more if we’d just try a little harder. Work a little smarter. Raise our expectations just a little. Maybe it’s only me. If I can just push out one more issue of Jottings, it will suddenly become easier?

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

OBITS

(Memento Mori)

Operators of Legacy dot com claim “what problem”. You have to love the ability of support people to deny a problem in the face of an email thread which includes email from their own people saying we see a problem and are fixing it. Great Brother Jasper’s Ghost!!! That is aggravating. Argh! Not sure it’s fixed.
