I really only want to have contentment in one thing...my Savior. Unfortunately that can be a painful process of dying to myself daily. I hope to that I am on a road of extensive progress! Time will tell!
There are times when I have trouble being kind. There are people who won't let you be kind to them.
It's good to know that I am not the only person in the world who collects quotes....I think my flash drive is full!!!
Oscar Wilde also said:
"Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching."
