People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

  • I was reading a quote by President Grant...it says .....". . . It is not the amount that any individual may know that will benefit him and his fellows; but it is the practical application of that knowledge."

I have been thinking alot about those things I know personally - I realized I don't know a whole lot. There are so many things I have a desire to learn, so many things I wish I knew better. I just hope the things I have learned and continue to learn are being used and shared they way they should be. I know I have a hard time putting some things I know to practical use and following through with that knowledge - sometimes habit and perhaps ease make me unable to progress and improve.

As I aproach the BIG 40 - which now that I am almost there, doesn't seem so big. I am really wanting to focus on putting more application with the knowledge I have thus far acquired in my life. I know we are supposed to enjoy this life, part of that is tied into the 'sharing' as well as 'doing'. So bring on the 40 - it isn't so big - - - and with it my resolve to do better with application and putting more of the little and important things I 'know' into practice.
