Moral Backbone! --------------- *Deep within each human being is a precious thing, possessed by no other creature-the thing we call a conscience. No one can tell you where it is located or what it looks like but it is there *Big as life, just the same... Occasionaly, in some people... it falls asleep. *But in MOST PEOPLE it is like an inner voice that is very much awake-sometimes it wispers to you...at other times it yells out loud! Your conscious is what makes it possible for you... by yourself to decide what is RIGHT ...and what is WRONG! ---------------------------------------------------(* *Once upon a time,... there was an Indian who was named "Two dogs fighting" A Pioneer visitor came to him and asked how he came to have that name... the Indian replied: "Inside of all of us are 2 dogs who compete.. Good and BAD ...they each can win, for they are very powerful..." The Pioneer was impressed and asked:"So how do you know which is winning?" The Indian replied: "The dog that will win is the Dog I choose to feed..." -----***-------- Your conscience speaks to you of yourself- of the moral obligation you have to make your life count. This very moment.... while you are still a boy, you must make decisions that will shape the rest of your life. The way you work in school, will set the pattern for your future. Failing a subject, may close a door forever to an opportunity later in life and lead to regret! Your consience speaks to you about your relationship with other people- respecting their rights, treating them justly and giveing them a fair chance. Your conscience tells you to obey the laws of our country, and to respect the property of others.... *Your conscience, loves the Bible for in it is TRUTH! this truth never changes and sets the mark in your life for justice, fairness and right *Just as it has for many others before you. Matt. 7-12 "The Golden rule" "What so ever you would like done unto you.. do it even so unto others, for this is the Law..." LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE- *KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT... *DO WHAT IS RIGHT... -=a=- (exerpts from 1959 BSA source) -=*Jes'Shake off the dirt and take a step up! ...The MULE *=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----****X****---- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Royal Rangers...
