choose faith

choose faith.  choose a job.  choose a career. choose a family.  choose good entertainment, honesty, individual worth and virtue. choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance.  choose living within your means and staying out of debt.  choose a starter home. choose your friends.  choose modest clothing while refusing to look anything less than awesome. choose clean language, soft drinks, and a day of rest. choose diligence and confidence, knowing who you are each morning.  choose standing for what you know is right, holding to prayer, scriptures and hope in the hardest times of your life, refusing to give up because you know things will be better than they ever were.  choose coming to the end of it all, at peace that you have done all that you could, that you lived as best you knew and that you have passed that integrity to the children who will follow after you.  choose your future. choose faith...

Jeff-
You keep one-upping yourself on each post. You can always go into journalism as a hobby or first or second income. This post especially was so inspiring.

YOU are inspiring to me!

I enjoyed picturing Ewan saying this to me with a thick Scottish accent.

Also, I have a ring that pretty much says the same thing, but it much fewer syllables. :)
