"it's the thought that counts..."

have you ever thought about what that phrase really means?

it's actually a pretty ridiculous thing to say... just an excuse... for not actually DOING something nice for someone...

so, you didn't do something nice for someone, but you thought about it?... wow, that's actually worse than not thinking about it!

it's not the thought that counts... it's the ACTION that counts... ever heard of "love is a verb"?

it reminds me of the passages in the book of James that talk about how important ACTING on our faith is...faith without actions is dead...

i guess that leads to another, more accurate saying: "actions speak louder than words" (or thoughts, i might add)...
