Thought of the Day—Virtually anything can be used for either good or evil. A simple large stone, when used in conjunction with many others, can build a magnificent castle but it can also be used to crush a man’s skull. An ordinary rifle can be used to hunt for much needed food but can also be used to end a person’s life. And the internet can be used to retrieve huge amounts of useful information but can also be a tool through social media to degrade and bully others. Even the tongue can build up or destroy another’s self-esteem. We as humans have a great responsibility at our disposal; let’s strive to become great builders instead of negligent destroyers…

Thought of the Day—It’s OK to escape to the land of make believe from time to time as long as you don’t attempt to pitch a tent there. For this life can be brutal but it’s the only one we have. So be kind and have courage; for this life is only a prep station to our true “happily ever after” with God…

Thought of the Day–1/10/18
Thought of the Day— One year ago today, I started doing a “Thought of the Day” for my sister Jennifer, who was coping with stage 4 Melanoma of the brain. As God directed my thoughts and after I scribed the thought in my Word document, I would call and leave the “Thought of the Day” on her answering machine every morning to provide some comfort, thoughts to consider or even perhaps a little chuckle for her day.
Beginning on May 23rd, which is Jennifer’s birthday, I started to also post the “Thought of the Day’ on Facebook and my blog site on WordPress, LifeSimplySpoken.com so these thoughts could be shared with others.
My sister passed on October 25th of 2017 and thus, I feel it is very fitting that I discontinue writing new “Thought of the Day” posts one year from when it all began. However, beginning today, I am going to begin sharing daily the “thoughts” that only Jennifer heard, through May 22nd. I hope that you, in the past months and in some small way, have found these words to be helpful. They were just small gifts, presented with love, from a brother to a sister…
