How did you come up with these words and thoughts?

I shamelessly ripped them off every internet source I could find, rewrote part of the Bible (The Ten Commandments and The Beattitudes), and mined the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. I have five lists of words and phrases. One list has over four hundred items on it.

Then I wrote an Excel spreadsheet to draw a random selection from each of the five lists because I am too lazy to draw them by hand from a deck. However, everything has its price.

Everyone who gets the Daily Reflections should realize that they are simply for reflection, and are not a message or insinuation of any sort. They are completely randomly selected. Sometimes two people get the same selection, which is one of the problems I was unable to correct.
