Eight-year-old Sally brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good…mostly A’s and a couple of B’s.
However, her teacher had written across the bottom:
Sally is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit.
Sally’s dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back:
Please let me know if your idea works on Sally because I would like to try it out on her mother.

The Holy Bible promises us three score plus ten years as a life span. Having lived almost seventy years, my shelf life is knocking on that “Best Used By Date.”
I ask myself, at this point, what advice would I give to humanity?
That is the most simple question in the world to me.
Earn yourself a Clear Conscience.
That degree does not come in the form of an associate, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree.
It comes from within your heart. It comes from the acquired ability to listen, understand and forgive.
It is personal.
In years past, I have lost the most important person who has ever and will ever exist in my life, along with many others who were “runner ups” in the race.
I thank Jesus for having allowed me through life to acquire the skills of listening, understanding and forgiving. These traits have allowed me to have beautiful, humorous memories and a clear conscience.
A Clear Conscience.
Such a superb gift. A gift that only you can earn for yourself.
Get you one, before someone who you love exceeds their “Best Used By Date.”
