PISTOL PETE DAY

MIND

Dan Brown 1964

“I remember saying to a minister, “I don’t get it. I read a book that said there was an explosion known as the Big Bang, but here it says God created heaven and Earth and the animals in seven days. Which is right?” Unfortunately, the response I got was, “Nice boys don’t ask that question.” A light went off, and I said, “The Bible doesn’t make sense. Science makes much more sense to me.” And I just gravitated away from religion.”

*Science or religion is a choice you may have to make. Unless you want to be a good boy and not ask hard questions.

*Use your intelligence as a weapon for good today.

BODY

Jane Russell 1921

SOUL

Lou Gehrig 1903

http://www.alsa.org/

Gehrig’s speech tells anyone who suffers that certain gifts come with the inevitable outcome. A renewed outlook on one’s current plot can offer many a balance to the fear of the final act.

“I don’t believe in cheat days because I don’t believe in diets. I try not to deprive my body of anything, because the moment I have just salads and protein for a few days, I crave carbs.
