Televac

Who would've know it? All this time I've spent kicking myself and the answer was here the whole time. I just found it today and couldn't help but smile.

I was in the girl's room when looking for clothes for Aly that I came across it. A couple of slips of paper from the past that have some bearing on my future as well as today. If I had only found them earlier in the week...

I unfolded the yellowed paper with great interest into what it held. I didn't readily recognize them, but upon their discovery I am flooded with memories gone by. Memories of a simpler time filled with taffy, ag exhibits, rides and all the magic that is the state fair.

The paper read:

YOUR HANDWRITING ANALYSIS BY TELEVAC

YOU ARE SENSITIVE AND EASILY HURT BY CRITICISM
YOU LIVE BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS REGARDLESS OF CUSTOM
YOU TEND TO RELY ON INTUITION TO MAKE DECISIONS
YOU HAVE A TENDENCY TO MAKE MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLE HILLS
YOUR METHODS AND OPINIONS ARE ADMIRED BY OTHERS
YOU ARE KEENLY COMPETITIVE AND WELL DISCIPLINED
YOU ARE SELDOM ABLE TO HIDE YOUR FEELINGS

I'm not so sure that these words made much sense when I first read them at 11 or 12 or whenever I actually weighed 122.0lbs, according to the complimentary tag from the Louisiana Dept. of Agriculture, but I would suppose that they do now. I'm not so sure that all of these statements are valid one's, but some seem dead on. If so, I guess that I've got to tip my hat to the people of Televac and their ingenious analysis.

Maybe the better that I know myself and am reminded of it, the better I am able to function and know/help others. Hopefully this leads to less time analyzing why I'm down or out or up or down and I can fulfill more fully the role that I'm called to as father, husband, coach, brother, son, co-worker, teacher, friend, etc., etc...

Maybe it's our nature to forget these things...

I'm just glad that it's not His...

He pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail--even numbering the hairs on your head!

I am the scariest person I know.
but because you seem to be cut from the same cloth, or plywood, or what ever we were cut from...

you are the second scariest person I know.

the world and all who know you is better off because the One who sits on the Throne made you.

rock on bro.
