    Sometimes when I'm feeling tempted, or feeling really tired when exercising I just think, "You got this!" I sometimes shock myself with how well it works. The power of positive thought, who would've thought my high school guidance counselor wasn't completely full of it.

    You can tell the character of a man by the way he treats those who have no value to him.

    When argueing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing.

    Marriage is 50/50. 50% of the time your wrong. The other 50% she is right.

    If it won't matter in five years, it is not worth fighting your spouse about now.

    You know you'r spouse birthday, you don't know her death day. Treat her like every day is her birthday.

    You can't argue when your kissing or making love.

    Inside of me is a man who weighs 155 and has 3% body fat screaming to get out. I can shut him up though with pizza and beer.

    It's better to have a small tool than be a big one.

    "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today."

    - Lawrence Strauss

    "Stop looking for a way out of everything...and look for a way to get through it." ~ Me :)

    "Those who walk with God always reach their destination."

    "Be the kind of woman, who when her feet hit the floor in the morning, the devils says, "Oh no! She's up!"

    "She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25
