I like being nice but it is easier to be confrontational.  I placate myself with phrases like "assertive but not aggressive".  Sometimes it is more important to live up to our covenants rather than just fulfilling our contracts.

 Life lived is life learned.  Every experience has facts, concepts and applications.  These are stories from the eclectic life of Lonnie Jones, Licensed Professional Counselor, Minister, SWAT Team Chaplain, Outdoor Enthusiast and Quixotic Jedi.
