I've been using a journal from Art of Manliness, trying to follow Ben Franklin's model of strengthening my virtues.
Yes, it's quite depressing. That is, I realize I'd be completely hopeless in life if I had to rely on my own ability to be a moral person.
Well, at least I had these tweets from the past month.
From Others:
@PlatoQuote: Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.@JeffGoins: When you seek out criticism are you genuinely wanting to grow or are you just looking to confirm your insecurities?
@MarkMerrill: One of the best things you can do for your children is to love your wife.
@theresaromero87: To devalue any human being is to deny their intrinsic worth as a fellow image-bearer of the Creator.
@plonkertons: For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining #john2 #amen
@PaulTripp: There's a lot of failure in your track record, but your security isn't in your success, but in the successes that Jesus achieved for you.
@follymiscreant: A great part of wisdom is figuring out which people are best left ignored.
@StudentsFirstSC: Recruiting teachers to #rural areas is critical for improving student performance. http://bit.ly/1ym4P94 #edreform #protectgreatteachers
From Me:
Black lives matter because black people are persons, made in God's image. http://buff.ly/1vJxfoy #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatterI do NOT regret eating at Jack in the Box tonight. Only because I witnessed a near-fight between a customer and an employee.
Almost done with week 1 of my Ben Franklin virtues journal, from @artofmanliness. 12 wee... http://ift.tt/1HYjqdM
Had a great time tonight meeting with a Community Group, discussing what it means to be Culturally Engaged. I'd love to meet your group too.
I'm all for raising the minimum wage to help working families. But I don't think a teenager MUST make $15/hour. #SOTU
You know you're out of shape when you get sore just by being a substitute teacher in PE for 2 days. #oldman
Through @mentorgville, 477 adults are serving as #mentors in @gcschools! But 293 more are needed. Will you be a part?
