I've learned...
    that life is like a roll of toilet paper.  The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned...
    that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.

I've learned...
    that money doesn't buy class.

I've learned...
    that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.


I've learned...
    that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned...
    that the Lord didn't do it all in one day.  So, what makes me think I can?

I've learned...
    that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned...
    that the less time I have to work, the more things I get done.
