Best explanation of YOU BETCHA!

Just got this in from one of my ‘blue’ friends…when I saw it I knew immediately it was DEFINITE lizwrites weblog material!

POST: I know some folks out there might have had trouble following the Vice Presidential debate. Particularly, trying to parse meaning from the things that Sarah Palin said. With that in mind, I have compiled a handy resource for your perusal. I hope to update this chart, both graphically and grammatically, when it is no longer ten to five in the morning. For for the mean time. . . enjoy!

10/04 Today’s Buddhist Food for Thought

Daily Encouragement by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, October 4, 2008

We are people of faith and faith is the ultimate conviction. Nothing could be sadder nor more shortsighted, therefore, than complaining or giving up when we encounter some small obstacle in our path. A genuine Buddhist is a person of wisdom and conviction.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Saturday, October 4, 2008 (Buddhism Day by Day)

The expansive world lies not in some distant place; it exists right where you are. That is why you need to win where you are right now. Today‚’s victory is linked to your eternal victory.

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Saturday, October 4, 2008 (Daily Wisdom)

In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come.
