Once there was a scruffy dog who was fed his owner's leftovers, had a rug in the corner, and was occasionally forgotten outside at night. He was, however, allowed to roam wherever he pleased, and he believed that he led a happy life. One afternoon, he happened upon a well-fed dog on a leash who told him of a home where they were fed three square meals a day, never forgotten outside, and slept on cushions beside the fireplace. The scruffy dog, curious as always, decided to see this wonderful house for himself. He discovered while watching it that the small yard was surrounded by a high fence, dogs who did not come inside immediately were switched, and very few of the cushions were near enough the fireplace to feel its warmth. He discovered the truth that “those who trade their freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security.”

"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103
I can't wait to hear what you have to say to me, whether it be words of wisdom or some sweet honey of encouragement. But if it isn't either of those, please be respectful and keep your thoughts to yourself.
