things i know now that i wish i knew then:
  • ray miller's preaching mantra: throw strikes, change speeds, work fast

  • that baseball was willing to teach me one of life's most important lessons: how to fail

  • nashville country isn't good for you, but cash, haggard, jennings and nelson nourish the soul

  • religious people who warm up too quickly are not to be trusted

  • one should not bypass an opportunity to see braveheart on the big screen in order to watch the bridges of madison county. especially if the girl accompanying you to the latter is not easily persuaded

  • with regard to women: if you think you can live without her, do

  • the citadel is not the best place for students with a past history of insubordination

  • one should not scale nine-foot, barbed wire topped fences in order to collect aluminum cans. even if the proceeds are going to charity

  • spiritual formation is vastly more important than spiritual information. thus, i should have shunned gordon-conwell for l'arche

  • although you might enjoy dumping a girl at an airport, it's probably best not to tell others about it

if you would like to share a piece of your accumulated wisdom, feel free.
