    Evil flourishes where it is not opposed…


    Life is not without pain, but life concerns itself with how we handle that pain, or joy, or confusion or triumph. Life is more than time passing before death, it is the sum and total of all we make of it. Decisions may not be easy, but many is the time when not making a decision, not taking an action is worse than a poor decision. Evil flourishes where it is not opposed, and those who are able to oppose it must to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

    Elegos A’Kla; I, Jedi




    Without consideration and forethought…


    Your intentions will be good. Without consideration and forethought, however, your actions could still be evil. That is the problem, of course, evil is always easy and resisting it is never so. Evil is relentless; and anyone, if they tire, if they are not vigilant, can fall prey to it.

    The keys of great culinary success…


    The keys of great culinary success.

    First, make portions small. If they want more, they think it was good. Two, give the dish an exotic name and make it sound like there are secret spices in there. Snobs will spend much time trying to see if their palate is sophisticated enough to detect one part per million of Ithorian saffron and they won’t dare pass judgment on the food for fear someone will think them a boor. Three, serve things that are supposed to be cooked raw, and serve hot things cold. Makes them think it’s special. Four- most important-tell them you created it special for them. Only a Gamorrean would protest such an honor.

    Chid, I, Jedi

    Our only choice is…


    None of us gets to choose which talents and abilities we are born with. Our only choice is whether we take those gifts and use them to live and grow and serve, or whether we bury them in the ground and try to pretend they were never there.

    • Dean Jinzler, Survivor’s Quest

    Remembrances come in all sizes and shapes. As do acts of repentance and atonement for past failures.
