This is yet another return effort, I will begin my return effort with what I have come to think of as my Biblical motto:
"A word is the source of every deed; a thought, of every act
The root of all the conduct is the mind; four brances it shoots forth:
Good and evil, death and life, their absolute mistress is the tongue.
A man may be wise and benefit many, yet be of no use to himself.
Though a man may be wise, if his words are rejected
he will be deprived of all enjoyment.
When a man is wise to his own advantage,
the fruits of his knowledge are seen in his own person;
When a man is wise to his people's advantage,
the fruits of his knowldege are enduring:
Limited are the days of one man's life,
but the life Israel is days without number.
One wise for himself has full enjoyment,
and all who see his people wins a heritage of glory,
and his name endures forever."
-- The Wisdom of Sirach 37:16-25
God bless you and love you. Amen.
