Bessie-isms:

*The physical part of child rearing is pretty simple. They grow and develop with no input from you, other than feeding them and seeing to their health and safety. The real challenge is to help develop their mind and soul, and well, until they are old enough to take over from you. That’s where most failure is occurring….

*Your body is intended to give you a way to experience and learn. It will provide pleasure or pain. You can waste your life hating the body you have, or use it to reach for higher things. As always, God has given you the choice to make.

Quotable:

Our repentance is not so much regret for the evil we have done, as fear of its consequences.

Duc de La Rochefoucauld
