Walt Perryman is a gifted poet from the Luckenbach area and he sent me a really neat email over the weekend that I just have to post here:
DRINK, STEAL, SWEAR & LIE
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, & 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 that 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.I am not as good as I should be, I am not as good as I could be .
; but THANK GOD I am better than I used to be!
Amen!_________________________________________________________________
