Life is a collection of moments.
Tell a person they smell good if they used to smell bad. (Was just told this one today)
Extend a hand… extend a heart.
Tell me just say to no to sex and watch me end up a mom.
Someone’s most creative moment on earth comes no where close to being God.
I’ll stop there… lol

Intelligence: the ability to make finer distinctions on a subject.
In Texas we have a saying about people who are not really what they claim to be, whether it be real cowboys, true Christians, or anything else. We say “He’s all hat, no cattle.”

DanielR,
LOL! I’m a Texan and have lived here all my life ‘cept one year. I had to ask my hubby - who has never lived anywhere else - if he knew that last saying. He did… The difference between him knowing it and not me…. I grew up in the city and he - in the country.
Does that mean I’m not a REAL Texan? LOL!
Have a great Friday!

I’ll chime in with two:
1) In the absence of information, people connect the dots in the most pathological way possible.
2) If its not worth doing, its not worth doing well.
