    Hmmm. They are written in a loose leaf notebook in his hand. My opinion is that Spence recognized the brilliance of the entries, they meant something to him, and took the time to compile them.


    He had difficulty expressing himself. But that does not mean that he didn't understand things. And that is yet another lesson that Spence can teach us, that certain mental challenges do not pre-empt other mental geniouses and geniouses of the heart.

    Your question prompted for Spence to affect me again, teaching me yet another significant lesson of life. He still lives in the effects that he has had on others. And so that his life can touch you and others as it touched me and all who knew him, is why I am delivering these thoughts.

    I must admit, answering your question brought a tear to my eye.

    Thank you for the question. It helped to bring this fine friend back to life.

    It must be good to find so much of him after his passing. I can see why he's still alive and living inside you and now and inside each of us who have the joy of being there for just a moment.

    Courage is
    understanding the
    consequences and
    doing the right thing
    anyway


    Spence always tried his best to do the right thing. Always.

    The Hate We Feel
    For Our enemies
    Does more harm to
    Our own peace of mind
    Than to theirs

    Hank, have you spoken with his family about publishing? Maybe a daily calendar?

    Yes, I mentioned to his brother who was very pleased that people are valuing these sayings. Thank you.

    Hank,
    I don't know why but this is the first time I've read this thread and I'm so glad I did and wish I had from the beginning. Your friend was amazing and his sayings are incredible. I look forward now to every day from here on to see what the next saying is. I love each of the sayings but I especially like #15.

    Those who have a
    Relationship with God
    are never at the mercy
    of those with an
    argument about God


    Whoa! That one is a good one to keep in mind.
