Choices Make or Break You

 Dumbledore explains to Harry that our choices make us who we are, not our abilities.  (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).  Harry had lots of talent.  He could choose to be who or where he want to be and go, but he always chose good over bad.

I know too many people in prison who are very intelligent.  They are very articulate and could sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo.  I know a violin virtuoso in prison.  I have met priests, rabbis and ministers in prison.

It's your choices in life that tell us what kind of person you are.  Think before you make choices.  Pray before you think.

The Death Day Party

 All I've been doing these past few days is read.  And now you readers get to reap the fruit of my labors.  I posted two of my meanderings earlier.  Now I want to tell you what I found in Harry Potter.  

All the ghosts in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had a party for their deaths.

Harry, Hermoine, and Ron were horrified at the thought.  If they were Christians they would have thought the party was a good idea.  Christians believe when they die they are born into eternal life.  

If that doesn't warrant a party, nothing does.
