To
~expect~
humans
to
behave
any
differently
than wolves
is to
believe
in
God.

Isn't it?

I havn't seen anyone not behave like a wolf.

Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence  the most.

(sigh) Even so I believe wolves can definitely be as dignified as humans, as they sure known how to introspect and find inner-peace just sitting silently howling at the corn moon! (big hugggsssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I like this one alot!
I bet you knew I would!
Yea, its our nature to sin and act in the perverse ways we see all too often.
But it takes God not to act like that.
Enjoyed

Thanks all for replying.

Noah,

I personally think wolves are much more dignified than humans.


Wayout,
Your reply made me laugh out loud...


Alyssa,

That happens to be exactly how and what I believe and I've never heard another say it, or even think it.
Yes, it takes God to keep me from acting negatively...the God part of me...I forget your exact words....

You made me smile....thanks, Pat

Pat, I'm not really sure what to think about this one. Are you saying humans behave like wolves?

this one is hard to figure unless the reader knows what the writer feels about humans, wolves, and God.

It just took me to the side for a minute, and confused me...or maybe I was just up too late again...

Pat, I understand what you're saying....
Personally, I think that wolves take better care of their young
than lots of humans do.

Also, like Alyssa said, it is "human nature" to act like animals
sometimes......and yes, only God can put the desire into a person's
heart to act differently. (For some reason the story of
Sodom and Gomorrah just came to my mind....
