"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

Me talking to SGM Allman after watching our puppy, Gator, lick our monkey's(Georgia) bottom. "Look. It's the GA/FL game and the Gators are licking Georgia's butt."
LT Sekula innocently commenting about a man whipping his donkey. "Oh ya, smack that ass." Seriously, he didn't even realize what he said until he saw me crying.

1LT McCall "It's another great day to be an American soldier; every day's a holiday, every meal's a feast, every paycheck's a small fortune and every formation's a parade."
