Daily Ditties from Delron's Desk Volume VI

A ditty is actually a poem or a song, but I grewup with the Carolina colloquialism of a ditty being anyshort, pithy saying or writing. Having written only onenoteworthy poem in my life, I'm definitely not a poet, but I do hope that these few thoughts I'm sharing in thislittle book will prove to be short and pithy enough toinspire a little something into your life each day.I once read that it's plagiarism if you steal fromone person, but it's research if you steal from severalwriters. Another thing that I firmly believe is that noneof us really has an original thought. Every thought wehave is a result of all the input we have received. Formost of us, the old saying might apply very aptly: GIGO-- "garbage in, garbage out." If there is any goodthought that comes out of our minds, it is becausesome good influences have entered our hearts; themost important of those positive influences would bethe Word of God and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.As you read my little ditties each day, Iencourage you to enjoy each place where I haveplagiarized (ah, done some research) and each placewhere something other than garbage has come out dueto the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.Since some holidays do not occur on fixed dates, the message for each movable holiday is given on theearliest possible date on which it can be observed: Martin Luther King Day, January 15; State of the UnionAddress, January 25; Presidents' Day, February 15;Palm Sunday, March 15; Good Friday, March 20;Easter, March 22; Mothers Day, May 8; Pentecost, May10; Fathers Day, June 15; and Thanksgiving, November 22.
