The Golden Rule
Day 264 of Photo Inspirations — The Golden Rule I remember, as a kid in “public” grade school, that “The Golden Rule” was taught, and emphatically brought to remembrance when one of us needed discipline.

The Devil Made Me Do It
Day 257 of Photo Insprirations — The Devil Made Me Do It Who remembers Flip Wilson?

Day 256 of Photo Inspirations — Character is Doing the Right Thing When I was just a little girl, my Mom and I were at the grocery store and I saw a wrapped candy bar on the floor at the cashier’s check-out stand. I snuck it into my pocket. I figured “Finders Keepers”! But as…
