I was warned as a child *never* to trust people "who have found Jesus". Now,
as a senior, I realise that that was some of the best advice I ever had!

My wife was a teacher and she worked hard. I was on a compressed work
week, working 7 am to 4:30. Sometimes we car pooled and she would drop
me off at my office before 7 and proceed to school, and then I would
have to wait for her. I only worked 4 days a week but she did 5. Then
she had work to do at home, at least two hours every night and then at
least a another half day on weekends. She had work to keep her busy
through at least half of the Christmas and spring breaks. She had a
week or two of work after the end of the school year and again before
the next term started up. They may only have 6 hours a day in the class
room but between lesson planning, preparation, marking and record
keeping, there is usually at least that much more to do after hours.

During my years working in enforcement I discovered a universal truth.
When someone says "I swear to God...", the next thing that comes out of
their mind is likely to be a lie.

As a child, Jesus was not very good at the game Hide 'n Seek. Other kids
would easily find Him without searching very hard.

The only saying I find palatable ever attributed to RR was when he said:
"trust... but verify"

Seriously, are you serious? If so, you might be a Republican.
