Re: Nine Virtues

Courage......I don't know, but I have done things that I never thought I would do.
Sometimes, stupidity masquerades as courage.
Truth.........There are many versions of this.......mine, yours and something that is
perhaps, a mixture of the two. Absolute truth can be damaging....and
a 'fiblet' is kinder...unless you have no compassion in your soul.
Honour......Thy father and thy mother........I'm not sure about anything else.
Fidelity.......Yes, I am faithful....but then so is an old dog. Maybe temptation has
not been put in my way...or it wasn't tempting enough. Or maybe I
couldn't be bothered.
Discipline.....It was the name on a leather strap my father had hanging on the wall in
the pantry. Yes, I have a strong sense of discipline.
Hospitality....will accept it if given in the right manner.and with good grace
Self Reliance - like G....I think I have heaps of it. You can only trust yourself to do
things exactly the way you want them. Only you know your
your standards.
Industriousness - my feet weren't made for clogs either.......so I worked my way out
of them and into something better....yes I am industrious.......
you have to be, to get what you want.

Perseverance - Yes, single minded and indomitable. God loves a trier.
