Lessons for my future sons (Part Six)
Posted by: carlotess on: October 23, 2010
Moving on as if I didn’t take an extra long break . . . 51. Wear not your clothes foul, ripped or dusty but see they be brush’d once everyday at least and take heed that you approach not to any uncleaness. See what I keep telling you? Dirt is not gentlemanly at all. You [...]

It’s been a while since I updated, seeing as I have eleven parts of these lessons. So I just might post many at once.

Peace. I don’t think you can ever really understand ‘the peace that surpasseth all understanding’ until you are in serious turmoil but still at peace. The kind of turmoil that won’t let you sleep because you’re tossing and turning. The kind that you meet down the hall, at your workplace, in your home, with your [...]
Yours Truly
My way of giving the glory back to God through writing. It's not all religion but it's always glorifying Him.
