Another Quiz...

Those of us Pirates and even some non pirates have been taking quizzes lately... What is your pirate name? How evil is your blog? (How in the world can my blog be 62% good when Hugh's blog is 78% good??? hee hee) What useless talent are you? (I was Latin) What old classic movie are you most like? ( I was the Godfather... Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday)

And those have been fun and all...
Here is a new quiz for ya. Something that came from The Message...

Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil;hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.
Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Help the needy, be inventive in the hospitality.
Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they're happy; share tears when they're down. Get along with each other; don't be stuck up. Make friends with nobodies; don't be the great somebody.
Don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.

Romans 12:10ish...
The Message

So, how do you rate? I don't know about you but I would be getting a pretty bad score recently.
The one that really kicked me in the butt: Don't be the great somebody. How many times do I need to remind myself that? How many times do I feel the need to be the great somebody. "Hey everybody... look at me!"
I swear I need sticky notes of that one all over my office! OH and the NO cursing under your breath business... hmmm.
Geeze!
I am working hard on being a friend who loves deeply, even when I am not so fond of my enemies.
It will take time, but it will come. More practice in the Hula Boola for me.
Until then friends, how do you rate?

This is just plain wonderful! I'm not familiar with the book, but I like this. "Keep yourself fueled and aflame"... that's a good one too. And that part about not being the great somebody... well, it strikes a little close to home here too. *gulp*
