I read pasages in scripture that jump out at me like I've never read them before... the Holy Spirit speaking to us through the Word and through others who remind us of what Jesus taught, like your mentor, and now you... ~ Violet"Create Beauty"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13351220132065841813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348597845342577731.post-66196370308307213802009-12-25T05:17:30.893-08:002009-12-25T05:17:30.893-08:00This was a wonderful way to begin Christmas with m...This was a wonderful way to begin Christmas with my family this morning, Ruben. This is what life is all about. With all of the religion in the world, you think people would live their lives with more goodness. At least, I certainly wish they would practice what they preach. <br /><br />Your Professor Wright sounds an awful lot like my Professor Simmonds, a philosophy professor I had in college. He encouraged me to think about the world in new ways and to discover whom I was through learning, contemplating what was "good", and then putting those thoughts into the actions of my daily life. I still need to write him a letter to tell him how much he inspired me to become the person I am today. Thank you for reminding me how important it is for me to do this.

I had never heard of it before.<br /><br />I adore Little Women the book and all film incarnations of it. "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents!" I think the beginning is one of my favorite parts of the book.<br /><br />The only movie I have seen that you mentioned was Ghandi and that was some time ago when it came out. I do remember having my eyes opened quite a bit. I also did not really know much about Ghandi's youth. The movie was epic and Ghandi an extraordinary man.<br /><br />Hope you are staying warm!<br /><br />BonnieBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760707908402191293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348597845342577731.post-47044940280467327902009-12-16T08:31:25.167-08:002009-12-16T08:31:25.167-08:00Oh you sweet thang you!

Today when I was in the library with the kids, the librarian did a presentation that got my creative juices flowing! I can't wait to write it out!

Her blog is right up my alley....HORSES! We can look at her blog together. She is a "midwife to horses"!

I almost emailed you to hurry up and post already! I missed reading your blog. You're so lucky to have had a mentor that inspired you and was an example of living, breathing goodness. I HAD to post on the CNN heroes. We need more programming like this. I really am so tired of celebrities and their dirty laundry, gossip and politicians who want to tell me how to think and the whole slew of "positive thinking" books that try to tell us we can "will" wealth and success into our lives. HA! Life is life. You can be as positive as you want and life will throw you a curve ball. Someone will get sick. Someone will die, a heart will be broken. There ARE no easy answers. There is NO SECRET. Even scripture doesn't give us the answers to the mysteries of life. We must try to be a good people. Have compassion and patience with others, see God in ourselves and others. And that is hard to do. Especially trying to love people who are difficult, rude, arrogant. And thank you for your prayers for Lauren. She's doing unbelievably well thank GOD.<br /><br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480522255028503327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348597845342577731.post-30523014315389740142009-12-13T11:23:28.834-08:002009-12-13T11:23:28.834-08:00You are fortunate to have had this man in your lif...You are fortunate to have had this man in your life. This scripture is one that I have always shivered at. I've had arrogant teachers in my life, but thank goodness I've had many more like Ronald Wright. <br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Love you!<br />SISFete et Fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938819391517459011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348597845342577731.post-25990617077715535282009-12-13T01:24:52.122-08:002009-12-13T01:24:52.122-08:00Good Sunday to you Ruben!

So many people never "get it" do they? I think you could say it's the Purpose of Life that everyone struggles so hard to find and can't see it in front of their faces. It's the "Wright Stuff" we all should be striving to achieve in God's name for God to use through us.<br /> <br />Thank you for sharing such an incredible story! I can tell it came from the depths of your heart as a gift to all of us. <br /><br />Christmas blessings!

The longer we live the more we begin to understand those things we dont' yet fully understand. <br /><br />I often think back on experiences and things said and find that there was a message there waiting to be discovered.<br /><br />I try to do and be good. A difficult thing to do. Sometimes my girls ask me how I tolerate certain people and their actions. I tell them that it may not be clear today why I do it, but it'll worth it in the end. <br /><br />I don't want to lay on my death bed with regrets.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873643122236163953noreply@blogger.com
