" COURAGE IS BEING AFRAID AND DOING IT ANYWAY."

" CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG "

I WAS JUST WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ON THE ECONOMY, BANK BAIL OUT AND HOME FORECLOSURES.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE WILL DO TO EACH OTHER WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF SHAME AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT THOSE OF US THAT KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG LET THESE PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH IT!!!!!

FOR INSTANCES, THE GOVERNMENT WITH TAX PAYERS MONEY BAILED OUT THE BANKS?
THE WAY I SEE IT THOSE IN CHARGE WERE AT FAULT DUE TO THERE OWN IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIONS YET THEY GET BAILED OUT, GET BONUSES, KEEP THEIR JOBS.
WHAT DID WE GET? DEEPER IN DEBT, HOMES FORECLOSED ON, VERY LITTLE HELP FOR VERY FEW PEOPLE.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

" I WILL NOT BREAK "

At last, I have found a purpose
a challenge to make me feel alive

For so long now I've been alone
just trying to survive

Going through the motions
not always knowing why?

Wanting to be awake,
wanting to feel alive

I have the power
I've never known before

I choose to go on living
I choose to be something more....

" HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY"

TO ALL THOSE SERVING OUR COUNTRY IN THE ARMED FORCES, THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOURS FOR ALL YOU SACRIFICE AND ENDURE FOR US HERE AT HOME.

"DEAR LORD"

DEAR  LORD,


               SO  FAR  TODAY,  GOD,  I'VE  DONE  ALRIGHT.  I  HAVEN'T  GOSSIPED,   HAVEN'T LOST  MY  TEMPER,  HAVEN'T  BEEN  GREEDY,  GRUMPY,  NASTY,  SELFISH,  OR  OVER INDULGENT.   I'M  THANKFUL  FOR  THAT.


               BUT  IN  A  FEW  MINUTES,  GOD,  I'M  GOING  TO  GET  OUT  OF  BED.
AND   FROM  THAT  MOMENT  ON,  I'M  PROBABLY  GOING  TO  NEED  A  LOT  MORE  HELP!


                                      AMEN.

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

 lies speak TRUTH
anger speak LOVE
gossip speak PRAISE
slander speak ENCOURAGEMENT

GREAT BOOK

THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE.   READ IT WITH AN OPEN MIND AND THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR BACK  FROM YOU.

                                           

FOR MY BROTHER

when i think of you
i always smile
not a day goes by
you don't cross my mind

your always with me
i hope you know
forever in my heart
where ever i go

reality enters even my dreams
yet my hopes for a miracle
are answered it seems

twenty six years now
how can that be
in a blink of an eye
all our lives changed

a promise i made
i intend to keep
for you are my brother
my brother, STEVE
