21 Guidelines

1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

4. When you say, "I love you," mean it.

5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.

6. Be engaged at least 6 months before you get married.

7. Believe in love at first sight.

8. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it's the only way to live life completely.

10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

11. Don't judge people by their relatives.

12. Talk slowly, but think quickly.

13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

14. Remember that great love and great achievement involve great risk.

15. Say, "God bless you," when you hear someone sneeze.

16. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

17. Remember the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for all your actions.

18. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

19. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

21. Spend some time alone.



The Big Man's Got It!

The Lord's Prayer



Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bready.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
And the power,
And the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

Individual



For as the wind may blow,
Only my spirit knows
What life has in store.
For my eyes see
What's in front of me,
But only my heart and mind now
What would truly be.
What shall I say,
O heart of mine?
Can you feel the way?
And what shall I say,
O heart of mine?
Do you know the way,
Which is what I do not know.
But what I have found
My spirit shows
That my trust in God,
There where He follows.
