Deep Pockets

A God-fearing man
  will not pocket
    so much as a pen

One who fears men
  eventually takes
    whatever he can

I have pocketed a lot of pens; but when I take them back they give them to me usually.

Oh I like this one…how true! When we accidentally take something we feel guilty, when the world takes everything they laugh. Keep writing! You are a gem!

Thanks, Kim... And now that I am a gem, I'll let my wife know my 'true value.' lol. Season's Joy, Gershon

There is indeed a lot of difference between a man who fears God and a man who fears men.... ! You are becoming more philosophical these days, Gershon !

Perhaps I am nearing the end of (my) days. But I hope not. I've got what to do for at least another 20 years. :)

Faith pacifies the spirit; insecurity fractures the soul. Am I close? Cheers Gershon. Happy New Year!

Missed you, gw. I'm going to have to mull over this. I think there is much truth in it.

Hope there's at least a little truth in it. Thanks, Milt.

Actually, this is an original. I was 'quoting myself,' so to speak. Thanks, Debra. :)
