Honesty...

...always tell the truth...even if you think it will hurt.  People will respect you for your honesty.  Be truthful and upfront...there's nothing worse than finding out the whole truth eventually and by someone other than the one withholding the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Every thing done in the dark with come into the light so put it ALL out there in the beginning. 

Simply Said...a half truth is a whole lie!

Tell the story...correctly!

Just like Jesus, I HATE a liar!  No, you didn't misunderstand or "think" that's what you saw or heard...you just outright lied!

If you are going to tell the story, tell the truth...just how it happened...not how you hoped the story to end or how you wanted it to end...tell the truth.

Often times we run ourselves in circles or nuts trying to put to rest a lie.  A wise man once told me this about a lie..."all you gotta do is make sure its a lie."  I agree so...

Simply Said...don't wear down no shoe leather trying to chase down a lie.

Ditch Diggers...

Be careful of the ditches you dig for others for they may be the very ditches in which you will fall.

I've noticed that when people are doing great things, making great strides, moving towards positive and away from negativity, folk always want to be a monkey wrench by way of hateful acts, discouraging words or deceitful deeds.  Look, if you are not going to be helpful, don't be a hinderance!

Simply Said...move, get out the way!

It Is Mine...

What God has for me, it is for me!  It (whatever IT is) was perfectly and uniquely designed for me.  You cannot have what has been divinely designed for me as I cannot have what has been divinely designed for me.  But many times we miss the perfectly, uniquely, divinely designed IT because we are out of place and position.  Understand we have to stay in our place and play our position.  You cannot be the 1st baseman in the pitcher's position...because...you're going to mess up a critical play. 

Simply Said...stay in your place, playing your position...the ball is coming your way.

Love....

...it just takes a glimpse at true love to convince me that love still exists.

Don't give up on it...love reveals itself in time....and....time is all we have.  So what do we do? 

Simply Said...we patiently wait for our chance at love.

All My Needs...

CTA does not supply my needs...God supplies my needs through the CTA. 

Insert the name of your employer into the above statement and continue to repeat the phrase over and over and over again until you feel the deposit in your spirit. 

In light of salary reductions, furlough days, furlough holidays and the like, I KNOW the above to be true.  Even in the midst of my mess, God has continued to bless and I just want to say thank you. 

You are a valuable commodity to your employer....you are a valuable commodity to a potential employer. 

Simply Said...YOU ARE A VALUABLE COMMODITY.

Friendships

Friendships are linked by like hearts, like minds, like spirits. 

It is important to have friendships....true ones...the I'll donate you a kidney kind...because in this life people need people...its in that time of need that the friends come through....holding it and you down when shit gets rough.

Simply said...thank you for being a friend.
