Grow Silently

Confucius was the first teacher in China who wanted to make education broadly available and was instrumental in establishing the art of teaching as a vocation. He also established ethical, moral, and social standards that formed the basis of a way of life known as Confucianism, which is not a religion, as much as it is a global philosophy.

Latinos make up over half of the USA population. This is reflected in larger cities, small towns, neighborhoods, and prairies.

Also, the culture and use of language are being woven into the American fabric and melting into a Spanglish mixed salad.

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through la casa,
Not a creature was stirring, I wondered, que pasa?

I was hanging the stockings with mucho cuidado,
In hopes that old Santa would feel obligado,

To bring all the children, both buenos y malos,
A nice batch of dulces and other regalos.

All We want for Christmas is that our friends, neighbors, and family members are vaccinated and receive the booster shots ASAP.

Is it right or wrong to pursue personal happiness? Are Christians supposed to be joyful even when surrounded by suffering? Does happiness make us better people, or does it just feel good? 

News headlines: Christmas can go ahead and get tested before you go to see and gather with anyone this holiday season.

Thanks… We have received many cards in the mail and expect more to arrive in the next few days.

Having integrity means to live in accordance to our deepest values, be honest with everyone, and always keeping our word.

The truth is finally catching up with liars who are exposed sooner or later regardless of the number of lies they have decided to spread.

Do you give compliments that aren’t genuine? 
Have you said you’re well when you were exhausted? 
Do you tell folks you are busy to avoid having to talk to or e with them?

Then you may not be a dangerous or prolific liar. As someone who has devoted a career to asking questions, I can smell a prolific liar. Liars are cowards
