I hope everybody did advance their clock/clocks forward on the night of 8 March because Daylight Saving Time starts on the 9th of March this year.
This year is also the earliest Easter in some time, next time Easter comes this early will be 220 years in the future.
We won't have to worry about that, most likely our bones will be white by than.
One thing about the winds and cold of March, they promise that Spring is coming.
This month is also tournment time in basketball, here's hoping your team wins, but not against my women's basketball team from Purdue, the champions of the Big Ten.
I was watching the selection of players and the coach of the year in the Big Ten.
That guard from Indiana University, sure does remind me of another basketball player who wore the number 23 in the NBA, Michael Jordon.
He sure does show some God given talent.
Here's something I placed else where but it sure makes you think; 
MISS LITTLE GOODY TWO-SHOES
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.
L E S S O N S FOR THE C O N D U C T OF L I F E.
L E S S O N I.
He that will thrive,
Must rise by Five.
He that hath thriv'n,
May lie till Seven.
Truth may be blam'd,
But cannot be sham'd.
Tell me with whom you go;
And I'll tell what you do.
A Friend in your Need,
Is a Friend indeed.
They ne'er can be wise,
Who good Counsel despise.
L E S S O N II.
A wise Head makes a close Mouth.
Don't burn your Lips with another Man's Broth.
Wit is Folly, unless a wise Man hath the keeping of it.
Use soft Words and hard Arguments.
Honey catches more Flies than Vinegar.
To forget a Wrong is the best Revenge.
Patience is a Plaister for all Sores.
Where Pride goes, Shame will follow.
When Vice enters the Room, Vengeance is near the Door.
Industry is Fortune's right Hand, and Frugality her left.
Make much of Three-pence, or you ne'er will be worth a Groat.
L E S S O N III.
A Lie stands upon one Leg, but Truth upon two.
When a Man talks much, believe but half what he says.
Fair Words butter no Parsnips.
Bad Company poisons the Mind.
A covetous Man is never satisfied.
Abundance, like Want, ruins many.
Contentment is the best Fortune.
A contented Mind is a continual Feast.
A L E S S O N IN RELIGION.
Love GOD, for he is good.
Fear GOD, for he is just.
Pray to GOD, for all good Things come from him.
Praise GOD, for great is his Mercy towards us,
And wonderful are all his Works.
Those who strive to be good, have GOD on their Side.
Those who have GOD for their Friend, shall want nothing.
Confess your Sins to GOD, and if you repent he will forgive you.
Remember that all you do, is done in the Presence of GOD.
The Time will come, my Friends, when we must give
Account to GOD, how we on Earth did live.
A MORAL L E S S O N.
A good Boy will make a good Man.
Honour your Parents, and the World will honour you.
Love your Friends, and your Friends will love you.
He that swims in Sin, will sink in Sorrow.
Learn to live, as you would wish to die.
As you expect all Men should deal by you:
So deal by them, and give each Man his Due.
23RD PSALM
I.
The Lord my Pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a Shepherd's Care:
His Presence shall my Wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful Eye;
My Noon-day Walks he shall attend,
And all my Midnight Hours defend.
II.
When in the sultry Glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty Mountain pant;
To fertile Vales and dewy Meads,
My weary wand'ring Steps he leads;
Where peaceful Rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant Landskip flow.
III.
Tho' in the Paths of Death I tread,
With gloomy Horrors overspread,
My stedfast Heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly Crook shall give me Aid,
And guide me thro' the dreadful Shade.
IV.
Tho' in a bare and rugged Way,
Thro' devious lonely Wilds I stray,
Thy Bounty shall my Pains beguile:
The barren Wilderness shall smile,
With sudden Greens & herbage crown'd,
And Streams shall murmur all around.
ENSCRIPTION ON HER GRAVE STONE
How vain the Tears that fall from you,
And here supply the Place of Dew?
How vain to weep the happy Dead,
Who now to heavenly Realms are fled?
Repine no more, your Plaints forbear,
And all prepare to meet them there.
We gone from something that was good and some now use it to mean the opposite.
The story is the origin of the popular phrase "goody two-shoes," often used to describe an excessively or annoyingly virtuous person. In more recent years, the phrase has developed a more negative connotation, implying that the virtuousness of a "goody two-shoes" is insincere.
WHY? Did I get on this?
Today, we saw a license plate saying Goodie 2, so I thought of Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
After all that I will now close this message.
"Be not too hasty to trust or admire the teachers of morality;
They discourse like angels but they live like men."
