Titus, the Proverbs 31 for EVERYBODY(?)

I liked Titus chapter 2. The beginning verses 1 through 10 were about ethics, or how one's way of being should be.

I like the quote "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men". That's an awesome quote and I stick to that regarding my belief that you can be anyone and God will like you, religion, race, gender, creed.

The verse, "Looking for that blessed hope" gives me hope. Because our peace is not found in this world, but in Him.

And the last sentence in chapter two is good too, "Let no man despise thee". Food for thought. I don't really know what that means. Its kind of hard to make someone not despise you if they want to. But I like that quote. :)

I love how it has the potential for people to initially be doubtful or think it politically incorrect, but that it's just so solid at the same time. It describes a perfect society, but unlike communism, it is liberating and more realistic. I also like how it nails everybody, like: "Hey, before you point the finger at this person, how are you doing with your part?" And also how it tells you how to slow down and work together as a whole and what each piece brings to the whole and how we can get appreciation for what we do as well as, and even better, to appreciate other people for who they are and how they do it when they live up to what this outlines. The phrase that really stands out to me everytime I read it is where it says "BY EXAMPLE".
