Snagged this Franklin saying from another poster on another forum. I thought it was 'thoughtful' Steve in so az

Who is wise? He that learns from every One.
Who is powerful? He that governs his Passions.
Who is rich? He that is content.
Who is that? Nobody.

A little family trivia, on my mothers side, her fathers name was
Benjamin Franklin Patterson-from Kentucky
My fathers side
Christopher Columbus Sadler-from Missouri, and was a second cousin to Jessie and Frank James, my father (deceased many years now) told me of seeing Jessie and Frank when he was very small, well before 1900.

when my daughter told one of her teachers about being related to him, her teacher told her that it sure wasn't anything to be proud of!! My former husband's mother's family are from St. Joseph, MO! Guess most of us are nobodies in the world but we each are a somebody in Christ Jesus! Remember, whosoever will may come and accept Him as their own personal Savior! God is Good!

God Bless!

The way things are, hardly any of them will know their decendants, or background, many don't know their fathers, mothers, anything other than now, and where they are, it's a real sorry mess, We've had many long talks with our kids and family, so they know all their background and can pass it on, we can't change society or the world, but i try and do my share, as best i know how
