"Problems"
by DevilsAdvocate_DA in"life is a series of problems".

"Who Packed Yours and Mine Parachute?"
by DevilsAdvocate_DA inwho packed yours and mine parachute?.
sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.
we may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just something nice for no reason.. charles plumb, as us naval academy graduate, was a jet pilot in vietnam.

it takes several readings to really appreciate its full impact.. in my professional opinion, ricks post is the master of masters when it come to the issue of disfellowshiping.
