Back to xanga? Maybe =O
I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,

and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.

Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.

And, alas, of all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great.

Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine.

Plus, the intelligence of a man.

You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.

Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.

Who am I?

I am your Habits.

YAY! You're back...

That's a really good way of describing a habit... Kinda scary when you stop to think about it...

Wow, you have the coolest new layout! Very well done!

And a good riddle. I didn't figure it out before I saw the answer... I agree that it was a bit scary.

As I live and breath! Welcome back! BTW, I have a bone to pick with you. *ahem* Each of my siblings have received comments from a certain cbaitz, but alas, I've had to do without. What gives?!

Awesome riddle. I may steal that if you don't mind.

Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin (habit) which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith;

Yeah, I'm alright I guess.

My life went flat like a balloon without air over the summer, but now that school starts on Monday the 27th... it's pretty much exploded into a frenzy of activity again. I'm beginning to notice a trend within my life. In the summer I become more relaxed, getting my energy back then in the fall, winter and spring, I am more "gotta go gotta go gotta go" Sleeping little, eating less, and running around like a chicken with her head cut off.

Ah man... gotta love school...

Hey Caleb --
You may wanna read through my site.

BTW -- don't know if you remember those two kids I mentioned to you (Anna and Jack) but... eh more stuff has developed with them. Kind of amazing how Christian people can come off to be but when you get to know them on a more personal level, how unchristian they truly are...

Meh. Anyway --

Catch you later

Hello and welcome back...hope to hear from you soon. My 15 yr old will be starting her school this week. Though we still need to get her books from Apologia for biology.

Love the riddle above. I may use that on my site if you don't mind. May even read it at the 5th Sunday Singing on the 30th of September. Check out my new layout and comment if you wish.

Hope all is well and that you are enjoying a new school year. I am at college and busy, busy, busy. Plus I just got engaged and we are getting married in December. So much to do and SOOOO little time to do it in!!!

Talk to ya later, Helen

Hello Caleb,
You worked hard to make your site simple yet elegant. I see that you don’t have much to say lately!
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times:14 "When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) (CEV) I hope you get a chance to look at them.

Hello again Caleb,
Thank you for your comments on my site. I don’t divulge much about myself because I am indeed one of Jehovah’s Witnesses who is the messenger and not important. The important thing is the message. I hope you will come back for another visit soon. I post a new article every week.
