Drink, Steal, Swear and Lie (NOT What You Think!)

From the title of this post, you would think I was describing politics in America today--Drink (kennedy), Steal (murtha and jefferson), Swear (mccain) and Lie (Pick one--start with the 2008 democratic presidential hopefuls).

But, then you see the picture and wonder, ok what is Miss Beth up to NOW?

Simple--a very poignant email I got this week. Here it is:

FOUR RULES TO LIVE BY

I met this guy while I was in Albuquerque and he has a motto he lives by everyday. He said listen carefully and live by these 4 rules:

Drink, Steal, Swear and Lie.

I was shaking my head 'no', but he then told me to listen while he explained his four rules. So here they are:

1. Drink from the "everlasting cup" every day.

2. Steal a moment to help someone who is in worse shape than you are.

3. Swear that you will be a better person today than yesterday.

4. And last, but not least, when you lie down at night thank God you live in America and have freedom.

Something to ponder--and very easy to live by.
