Too tired! But found out some useful stuff tonight!

Got my book "Mere Christianity-C.S.Lewis" in the mail today. looking fwd to reading that.

It occurred to me that some people dont express their appreciation for other ppl. Someone (who was brought up well, and well reminded) got a loooong car ride with someone else and after beieng dropped off may have mumbled a 'thank you' but other than that! Nothing. Here is how I was raised: "When you get a ride with someone (esp. a long distance) you give them gas money, even if it is 2 bucks! But you'd better give it to them or dont ride with them! I mean I'm not realy strapped for cash or nothin, but you have a bunch of ppl call and ask you for a ride somewhere and the only reason you really go is to take the ppl who ask you.. and then they dont even really show their appreciation.. it really makes you wanna go the next time! But ok, I'll stop B'n N moanin! Think about it.. Not really for my sake , but geez, i know some parents slack on teachin their kids good virtues.. but use common sense instead!!

Basically, this: When you get a ride with someone e.g. down the shore, up the mts., Club worship, or a long distance for anything, when they drop you off, slip them a couple bucks.. it makes them appreciate you more and it shows you really appreciated it.. If you cant spare that.. then you shoulda just sat home.. and yes, im talkin about the o0nes who work and have pockets full... not the ones who are strapped now!! Now you cant say that no one ever told you so!

Whew, there's my fatherly deed for the day!

g'nite


(P.S. see I told you i'd blog about it)

As parents, we choose to have children and therefore we are obligated to sacrifice almost everything in our life to raise, teach and protect...
