The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.

The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.

The pain of making the necessary sacrifices always hurts more than you think it's going to. I know. It sucks. That being said, doing something seriously creative is one of the most amazing experiences one can have, in this or any other lifetime. If you ca

The Captain called the Sergeant in.
"Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private Jones' mother died yesterday.
Better go tell him and send him in to see me."
So the
Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up all the
troops.
"Listen up, men," says the Sergeant. "Johnson, report to the
mess hall
for KP. Smith, report to Personnel to sign some papers. The
rest of
you men report to the Motor Pool for maintenance. Oh by the way,
Jones, your mother died, report to the commander."
Later that day
the Captain called the Sergeant into his office. "Hey,
Sarge, that
was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother died.
Couldn't
you be a bit more tactful, next time?"
"Yes, sir," answered the
Sarge.
A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in
again with,
"Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private McGrath's
mother died. You'd
better go tell him and send him in to see me
. This time be more
tactful."
So the Sergeant calls for
his morning formation. "Ok, men, fall in and
listen up." "Everybody
with a mother, take two steps forward." "Not
so fast, McGrath!"

Following some duty overseas, the officers
at the Fort were planning a welcome home party and dance for the
unit.
Being an all male combat force, they decided to request coeds
from some
of the surrounding colleges to attend. The Captain called
Vassar and
was assured by the Dean that arrangements could be made to
send over a
dozen of their most trustworthy students.
The
Captain hesitated, then said, "Would it also be possible to send a
dozen or so of the other kind?"

The Pentagon once did a study on why so many
American Servicemen marry
women in the countries where they're
stationed. Contrary to popular
belief, loneliness had nothing to do
with it. Once the men rotated back to
the US, all their in-laws were
thousands of miles away.

Seems there was a
young soldier, who,
just before battle, told his sergeant that he didn't
have a
rifle.
"That's no problem, son," said the sergeant. "Here, take this
broom. Just point it at the Germans, and go 'Bangety Bang
Bang'."
"But what about a bayonet, Sarge?" asked the young (and gullible)
recruit.
The sergeant pulls a piece of straw from the end of
the broom, and
attaches it to the handle end. "Here, use this...
just go, 'Stabity Stab
Stab'."
The recruit ends up alone on
the battlefield, holding just his broom.
Suddenly, a German soldier
charges at him. The recruit points the broom,
"Bangety Bang Bang!"
The German falls dead.
More Germans appear. The recruit, amazed
at his good luck, goes
"Bangety Bang Bang! Stabity Stab Stab!" He
mows down the enemy by the
dozens. Finally, the battlefield is
clear, except for one German soldier
walking slowly toward him.
n
"Bangety Bang Bang! shouts the recruit. The German keeps coming.
"Bangety Bang Bang!" repeats the recruit, to no avail. He gets
desperate.
"Bangety Bang Bang! Stabity Stab Stab!" It's no
use.
The German keeps coming. He stomps the recruit into the ground, and
says, "Tankety Tank Tank."
