I got the other stuff which was great but this really stood out like a sore thumb.

I wish she’d have had higher aspirations than becoming an attorney.


I just pray her parents don't read your remarks. I would think her motivations ought to be considered before beating down her memory. There should be a level of respect given to the dead.

You can just explain all of her problems when you meet her and see if God agrees and is disappointed in her. There is a lot she said that many people far older than she was do not have the wisdom to aspire to. People that are more interested in pleasing God than men usually get things figured out given the time.

In the words of Teddy Roosevelt:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

When you look at the great men that have done something positive enough and to warrant having their names be put into the American history books because they changed the course of it you’ll find that most of the time they had great mothers and great wives.

Women started abandoning the home int the ‘60s and ‘70s and thus America has been falling socially, economically and every other way.

Women are much more powerful being women than trying to be men. Until women realize this they’ll continue to lower themselves and thus lower America in the process.

That is good from a man that destroyed the country by “not going in to that good night.”
