Daily Ditties from Delron's Desk Volume VI (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A ditty is actually a poem or a song, but I grew

up with the Carolina colloquialism of a ditty being any

short, pithy saying or writing. Having written only one

noteworthy poem in my life, I'm definitely not a poet,

but I do hope that these few thoughts I'm sharing in this

little book will prove to be short and pithy enough to

inspire a little something into your life each day.

I once read that it's plagiarism if you steal from

one person, but it's research if you steal from several

writers. Another thing that I firmly believe is that none

of us really has an original thought. Every thought we

have is a result of all the input we have received. For

most of us, the old saying might apply very aptly: GIGO

-- "garbage in, garbage out." If there is any good

thought that comes out of our minds, it is because

some good influences have entered our hearts; the

most important of those positive influences would be

the Word of God and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

As you read my little ditties each day, I

encourage you to enjoy each place where I have

plagiarized (ah, done some research) and each place

where something other than garbage has come out due

to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Since some holidays do not occur on fixed dates,

the message for each movable holiday is given on the

earliest possible date on which it can be observed:

Martin Luther King Day, January 15; State of the Union

Address, January 25; Presidents' Day, February 15;

Palm Sunday, March 15; Good Friday, March 20;

Easter, March 22; Mothers Day, May 8; Pentecost, May

10; Fathers Day, June 15; and Thanksgiving,

November 22.
