Jun. 22, 2008 - A President's Writings
Well, I got a few books from the library and I'm really excited about it! They're the all the writings of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington!!!!! :D Yay!! The first part of George Washington's writings is titled: Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour In Company and Conversation. I wanted to post a few:
Every action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present.
Sleep not when others Speak, Sit not when others stand, Speak not when you Should hold your Peace, walk not on when others Stop.
Shake not the head, Feet, or Legs rowl not the Eys lift not one eyebrow higher than the other wry not the mouth, and bedew no mans face with your Spittle, by approaching too near him when you Speak.
Be not Curious to Know the Affairs of Others neither approach those that Speak in Private.
In visiting the Sick, do not Presently play the Physicion if you be not Knowing therein.
Do not express Joy before one sick or in pain for that contrary Passion will aggravate his Misery.
Yeah, well there you go. The last one is interesting. Can you believe a man from the mid 1700s wrote this, and we are able to see what he believed?! I love it. :)

I think we have that book, well the one with all of George Washington's quotes and everything. I thought it pretty interesting what the right etiquette was in the 1700s.

Yeah~ the Jonas Brothers are so awesome, it's not even funny.
MiKaylah and I, both being Christians, also wonder how they act, when they aren't under the spotlight~ but we definitely believe them when they say they are Christians. Their first album (it's about time) was a Christian one, and their Dad was a pastor, so both those things make us believe that they have a good chance being Christians.
Well...thanks for the comment on our blog. we enjoy hearing from you!
