Best Laid Plans...

Basically, this weekend has taught me a few things. Hence, the many values (both poisitive and negative) of mistakes. So, while mistakes are not something that we have the right to make, they can often-times teach us our most needed lessons...

Don't live in fear of what you are unable or unwilling to do. But, in turn, don't lack the fear of doing things you ought not to do.
Don't hesitate to do the things you won't forget. But, in turn, don't lack hesitance in situations that you might regret.
Don't refuse the fact that you have the ability to touch people. But, in turn, don't lack the knowledge that you have the ability to hurt people.
Don't build your self-worth solely upon how others see you. But, in turn, don't lack the conviction to be as shining an example as possible.
Don't realize too late the things you failed to do. But, in turn, don't lack forgiveness for yourself when you have admittedly done wrong.

Do all these things; and start to live as one should truly live.
and live a life of balance.
and enjoy freedom from extremes.
and delight in what He provides us.

So sayeth The Brad...
