From a Woodworker;
I just hope that when I die my widow won't sell my woodworking tools for
what I told her I paid for 'em.

On Kumejima there is a strange and wonderful natural formation in the surf
known as Tatami Ishii. These are five and six sided lavarocks (andecite) formed
about 500 years ago. They are flat like paving stones and perfectly formed. This
is on the southern end of the island and has become quite a tourist attraction.
Very beautiful and very mysterous.
When our friend 'Tak' took us there in August we were very impressed. After
a few minutes of picture-taking and awed silence I asked 'Tak' how these
beautiful rocks were formed? How does science explain them?
Tak replied; "God make."
Enough said.

There is the real world and the false world. The real world is internal. If
you're lucky, and you could be, you sustain it by the right work, byyour
responses to works of art, by loyalty to your friends, by a refusal to be caught
up in public or private falsehoods.

If we

we do want, maybe we will actually get what we want, because it is not something

Never challenge a woman on womens' issues. Abortion, in-vitro, stem-cell,
etc. Some get hysterical. Some rant. Some get hysterical and rant. None will
hear a view different from their own. It is much safer to play with industrial
power tools.

Kordich.
Thanks, Nadine.
ON A POSITIVE NOTE
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life
does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she
handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas
tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents you'll
miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a
"life."
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on
both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if
you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and
doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually
make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People
love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on
the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Dear
Lord,
So far today
I've done alright. I haven't gossiped, lusted, lost my temper. I haven't been
greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent and I'm very thankful for
that.
But in a few
minutes Lord, I'm going to get out of bed. From then on I'm probably going to
need a lot of help.
-AMEN-

"If you want something so bad that once you get there it's liable
