In college and the military I fell drasticaly short. Now I know the importance of Mussar to get on the right track to piety and maybe someday holiness. I need to be more transparent so that my relationships will be more fulfilling and people will not have to read my mind to know what I am thinking. That way people will not take my short comments as possibly being a destorted sense of reality on my part. I am grateful to Rabbi Rose and everyone in the class for being so transparent as to reveal our commonality. As I told Joe, Rabbi Josh is certainly superior to me intellectually for me to be commenting on how I have seen a tremendous growth in his spirituality. I am grateful for all the knowledge that Rabbi Josh conveys to us.<br />MarkMark Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682840747336370746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497291076176277032.post-87278349242609284832012-01-14T22:09:59.515-08:002012-01-14T22:09:59.515-08:00Great class.

And one that isn't included in this text is "Modeh ani..." "I gratefully acknowledge You, living and enduring ruler, for returning my soul to me; great is your faithfulness." If one finds oneself gaining confidence and kindness from without or within, it can be a great way to start the day. That and wheaties ... truly breakfast of champions.packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222772413475666151noreply@blogger.com
