The quote is” “Do, or do not. There is no TRY!” And, on the word “try”, have to wrinkle your nose like you have a bad taste in your mouth. ;-)
(It really calls attention to the fact that “try” connotes that you can’t possibly be expected to do it. You’re too weak and incapable of accomplishing it. It drains you of all your power to astonish yourself with what you CAN accomplish.)

FROM LUDDITE’S WIFE, A QUITE RELIGIOUS WOMAN WITH A WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR
*** begin quote ***
Nativity Scene
There will be no Nativity Scene in the United State Congress this year
The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene
in the United States capital this Christmas season.
This isn’t for any religious reason, they simply have not been able to
find three wise men and a virgin in the Nation’s capitol.
There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.
*** end quote ***
All too true!
LOL

If it’s real, … perhaps “Mom” missed a few lessons at school.
Amazing how this stuff gets out and takes on a life of its own.
Just reinforcing the stereo types.
Sigh!
Ignoring the Church’s tradition in scholarship and inquiry.
Saint Thomas Moore versus the Inquisition.

FROM MY FACEBOOK WALL
Personally you can call me “ebeneezer” before the three visitors. It just seems that bad things come at the end of the year. Wall Street layoffs (got me once)! Holiday party gaffes (some are funny since they didn’t happen to me and have led me to the “No drinking around Colleague, Coworkers, or Bosses” rule), and DWIs (hasn’t happened to me; not bloody likely either; see item two)! Divorces, Separations, Abuse, and all amount of familial and marital discord! Just seems to be more frequent at this time of year. So, I’ll just be the grinch over the corner. And, I hope the Intelligent Designer, the Universe, or whatever star you follow allows you to come through unscathed and happy. Now if we could just do something about that other plague of Biblical proportions which sucks the life out — politicians, then maybe I COULD celebrate.
