Hundreds of star fish were stranded on a beach. A boy started to throw them back into the ocean. A man tells the boy what are you doing. You cant save them all. There are too many. You can't make a difference. The boy picked up another star fish and threw it in. Then he said, I just made a difference to that one! Lesson!!
When you think you have nothing left. When you seem to be down and all the way out. That is when you are at your strongest. Because then you are willing to fight for your life!!!
One day a woman was set to go see her daughter that she hasn't seen since she gave her birth. At the time when she gave birth to her daughter. She was into drugs and not living a suitable life to raise a child. So the courts had her raised by her father. The family moved her away and raised her for 21 years without her knowing her mother. In that time her mother had cleaned up her act and become a devout Christian. Finally at the age of 21 the daughter wanted to meet her mother. She searched for her and found her. They communicated over the phone and planned a day to meet in person. The mother planned the trip and was so happy of this news. She went to church and told everyone. She was filled with pride and joy. The day came to go see her daughter. She got in a taxi taking her to the airport. On the way to the airport, the taxi's front two tires blew out. With there being only one spare, the cab driver could not fix the tires in time. The mother had missed her flight. She went home afterward and was highly upset. She told God, "how could you do this to me?! Now I have to do this all over again! I wanted to see my daughter! I was going to see her today after 21 years of suffering!" As she cried the telephone rang. It was a friend of hers, who told her to turn on the Television and see the news. The plane she was supposed to get on went down in the Atlantic Ocean and there were no survivors. Lesson!

Fight the Good Fight
Today I write this, just in case. Just in case someone needs to be inspired to fight the good fight. For those who are defeated in the mind, and are not feeling strong and are without courage. Many times in life we go through these phases. When you feel in despair. It may be as simple as feeling down from being lonely. Or not having a great job. Your finances not being in good shape, or even completely shattered. Maybe it is a combination of all of these, and even more untellable misfortunes in life.
I am here to provide a little inspiration. A message of hope! Understand that if there are obstacles in your life it is because you are trying to get somewhere worth going. The thorns are all around the Rose, because the rose is a beautiful flower, that requires a bit of pain to obtain. In life all that you strive for, will have obstacles and have a cost. But you will appreciate more what you grasp, after knowing the sacrifice it cost to get. We as human, seem to want to see all ahead of us and know the results to all. When the answer is not present or clear, we become troubled and worry. Satan, on the other hand knows his fate and wants to assure that the chosen one's suffer. The chosen one's (the believers in God and Christ) have to understand something. Even though you do not see your answers in front of you. God see's the problem, the remedy and the time frame that it will happen. He also see's why it happened and what experience you needed to have to be successful in life. At times you may say, "Enough is Enough. When will it get better for me?" Sometimes the lesson you need to learn is not when will life be easy for you. But when you will except that you are a strong soul and God, is preparing you for something great. To live in greatness, at times we have to feel greatness. Even when greatness is not what you are seeing.
When you work and work over time. You are working and placing in labor. Understanding that your reward will be a great check. You don't see the check, but you know that it is coming. In life with God, you know that you live by faith. So put in the work, and you will see your reward. What good is it to fight and to fight, to then give up when you are so close to the blessings? When you are at your absolute weakest point is when you are at your strongest. Because it is then that you are ready to fight for your life. Isaiah 41:10 says Fear not for I am with thee: be not dismayed, for I am your God: I will strengthen thee; yes I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
On that note I leave you with these words verses so you can understand.
Psalms 34 verses 17-22 Joshua 1:8-9 Isaiah 40:30 and 31. read up and let the spirit rejuvenate and allow your strength to be revived. Good people continue to fight the good fight!

Inspiration!!
Inspiration
When we are going through our usual daily activities, at times we come across something that inspires. It can be as simple as a sound, a picture, a song, a persons actions. Maybe hearing a story being told about a person going against an incedible amount of odds, still achieving an unforseen goal. In my life I have found that because of all that I have been through, it made me have a high level of will power and determination. I found myself in the depths of poverty and stripped from all reason of hope. That in itself was what made me fight and say, I cannot give up. What value and worth is it to fight, and fight, to then give up? In my soul and spirit, I always felt the guidence of God to press forward. As an Army moving forward, at times there are casualties and fatalities but they unite even stronger and forge ahead to victory. In football, a running back collides with a linebacker at the goal line. The one that has the will power and more conviction to win, forges ahead. People who are watching this battle on the field, get inspired. Watching video coverage of September 11th. Looking at how the country united and bonded, it's an inspiration. All negative thoughts on race and creed were gone. All negative ideas about us as a nation were too gone. Just look into the eyes of a smiling child and you can see inspiration. It comes when all negative thoughts and actions are gone. Those who are inspired to do wrong and evil are not inspired, just conspiring to do wrong. Inspiration comes in all shapes and forms and it takes the effect, of changing, if even for a moment. Those that see and hear of it to become inspired. So as the year moves on, there will be much to achieve and goals to accomplish. Be sure to keep all the spirits of all around us high, by you yourself inspiring and being an inspiration.

Week One (Football)
It was a great week of football. This first week of excitement and anticipation was not disappointing. Many teams lived up to expectations as well as a few upsets.
The Texans finally defeat the Colts, and did so in convincing fashion. They played defense well, and made plays when they needed. They also had Arian Foster, who rushed for 234 yards and 3 touchdowns. Mcnabb, and Coach Shanahan, opened up the season in a victory as well. Micheal Vick created controversy with his skills and great second half play! Doom may loom for Kolb, if he does not do well in week 2. They are going to stick with him and hope he has a better outing. The Eagles have no choice, they have invested the future in him. The highly talked about 49ers, got trounced and the under appreciated Seahawks were the team to do so. The Steelers defended home turf without Big Ben, and the titans and Chris Johnson continue to do what they did at the end of last season, Win!! New England showed they still have some fire power and can contend, as the Bucs and Dolphins also won. The Lions, well. They played well enough to win, and had a controversial Touchdown taken away to loose. They did look very good at times and the Bears who won that game also looked good. Cutler might finally be in a system in Chicago to help him win. The Giants took care of business as did Arizona. The win for the Cardinals was ugly, but the end result will do. The chemistry will eventually gel on offense. As it is evident they could of used Warner. But credit the Rams, and the debut, of Sam Bradford. They were up to the task and played well. The Bengals played well, but could not stop the Brady to Welker connection. Atlanta played a great game, but a lack of a running game late hurt them. Matt Ryan hung one up and Troy Palumalu, made a great play. The Saints held serve and beat Farve week one. The turnovers did not cost them the game this time. It was the lack of Farve not being at camp getting to know his receivers.
The week is not over. The Jets and Ravens should be a great game. Rex Ryan and his brashness will have the chance to show what his team has. The Chiefs, also want to show that they have made strides and the Chargers have a rookie running back they want to unveil. So far it's been great.
Oh yeah, My Denver Broncos lost in the rain at 100 degree weather. It was a great game, but a 33 minute rain delay took the luster off the excitement. The Josh McDainels era is off to a bad start so far. The Jags looked sharp and better than expected. Great to see football back.
Week two should be even more exciting. Will the Colts start 0-2? Will Brett Farve have a better week? Can the Falcons and Bengals bounce back? Is Kolb really the guy in Philadelphia?
Tune in next week folks. As T.O would say, "Get your popcorn ready!"

The Winning Edge
In that realm of spirituality, that exist. There is a war between good and evil. This war is in order and in effect for us. They battle for the souls of humanity. Since mans creation and the fall of Lucifer, the battle was waged. God first crated his children (Angels). The Angels came before man. One of these Angles was Lucifer. In the original text Luc translates to light. He was the most high ranking Angel in the heavens. In Isaiah 14, verses 12 through 24 it describes what Lucifer's mind set was in Heaven. How he was a Fallen Angel. In Ezekiel 28, versus 13 through 19 it describes his creation and his power. He was a great Angel and had a great purpose. Yet he sinned in Heaven and then was cast out. He did not go quietly. He took a third of the Angels with him. Some as prisoners and some as his warriors. This war took place on earth. He and his Angels, were cast down on Earth. Hell was created for Satan and all his followers. Not man. Man would be made and given paradise. The Garden of Eden. In this creation, man had all the luxury and greatness. He was innocent and living eternally in happiness. For a former scorn child in Lucifer, he decided to get revenge and tempt man. Starting to do this in a way he knew man could not resist. Through a woman. Once man was divided away from God, the war to claim the souls was on.
Yet, through out all of history, we notice this war personally. The two sides are identical because Satan, imitates God in all aspects. God has a Church, and Satan has a Church. God has Angels. Satan has the fallen Angels known as Demons. God has profits. Satan has psychics. God has a son (Jesus Christ). Satan has his son The Anti-Christ. God has a Bible. The Holy Bible. Satan has the Satanic bible. God has Heaven, and Satan has Hell. God has the Kingdom of Heaven and Satan is the price of the Earth. So far, they are standing toe to toe, with equal parts across the board. Heaven vs. Hell and all the scriptures and forces going to war and fighting this fight. But there is one entity in this whole situation that decides the war and it's final
outcome.
With all the forces aligning evenly and the followers of these forces doing what they can for the victory. Enters one Entity that the Satanic forces have no answer for. The Holy Spirit. Once the Holy Spirit, enters in to the equation. The sides become overwhelmingly uneven. When a man is down and the demonic forces have him down and out. When the situation is dire and the darkness seems to be overwhelming. No matter what, when Satan, and his forces feel that presence. The fight is decided. Even Satan, must bow down and surrender. For all things tremble and submit. That my friends is the Winning Edge!!!

Sports!!!
In life we learn so many lessons. Some are cruel lessons. Some are great lessons. Some lessons come with a heavy cost. Financial losses, spiritual breakdowns, emotional building, and character building experiences. Some find out the truth about a persons character that they might have thought different of. It's funny how sports can also teach us these valuable lessons.
You can find out who is a great teammate. Who is loyal and will stick with you through thick and thin. Who will motivate you to excel and succeed. Who has leadership skills. Who is valiant and strong emotionally.
You also find out who is selfish, and wants all the attention. Who thinks that they are the best, but do not realize that they're success is partly due to his teammates, as well as their ability.
You find out who is a fighter by physical standards and who is the tactician by using their minds as well as physical strength. It gets discovered who is dedicated to their trade and who is a hard worker. To be the best at what they do, as well as a great teammate.
The greatest thing about sports is, no matter what race, creed, or color you are. You all work hard as a team to achieve one goal. Win!
You can find out who wants to win and who is in it just for the spirit of competition. But at all levels. Sports has no barriers. Stadiums, arenas, and venues are filled daily to watch people compete. It unify's the masses, and causes people to forget the heavy burdens that life can bring. If only for a few hours. It brings about loyalty. To your team, colors, alma mater's and athletes. You learn to win, and to loose. To have a never say die attitude. To have hope, and the mentality of trying to press forward and win. It teaches discipline and structure. How to learn from those who have been down the path you are trying to go. It has you dreaming of winning and having pride. Realizing that it takes work and a strong attitude to achieve. True life stories such as Rudy, Radio, Friday Night Lights, and Brian's Song. These stories turned into movies to help continue to provide inspiration and hope. All driven and inspired by sports.
Sports, it's a great thing. Involve your children in sports and have them learn the values that sports can provide. Life shows us many different lessons as is. Let sports teach them and you, how to deal with some. As always,
GOD BLESS!!!

Old Fashion
So much of today's generation and people in today's society are polluted. What I mean by this is simple. Everyone is full of the technical lifestyle. The new Cell phones, and apps. Desktop computers are being slowly erased and all the technology is being driven by microchips. Microfibers, and newer technical tools. Apps and smaller devices. The world is infatuated with reality shows that are not reality. They shop and are driven by money. There is nothing wrong with trying to be successful and make a great living, but money should not be the driving force. It should be the love of what you do. The world is receiving advice from Psychological people such as Dr. Phil and others. The world is growing colder and stronger in sin. The structure of America is being reformed and the economy hangs in the balance. CNN, and Fox news as well as MSNBC and all other news stations are focused on tearing each other down as well as all political groups and affiliations. When the need is to unite. But that peace and unity that will be desired will be at the end of time, when that being known as the Anti-Christ, will have the solution to poverty and war. Plus many other answers.
In the mean time people are blinded and so locked into all the wrong things. Into life that is full of infatuation, and fantasy. They are locked into drama and reality television. Crime and racial tension. Political debates, and laws. Division and deception. Lies, and trying to move up the corporate ladder, at all cost. Yet, in all that this world is into these days. Weather it be through music, or whatever the case may be. This world has forgotten the simple things. The simple things such as a waterfall. A valley full of flowers. Rivers and streams that flow and the beauty of a majestic mountain top. They have forgotten, GOD!
They even have modernized church. Shorter sermons. Donuts and coffee at the service. Chorus that is more professional than Godly. Big screens and monitors. Great sound systems and large venues. Websites to celebrate their services. But the messages are hollow. There is no more tears at the alter. No more shaking, jumping and running. There is no more transformation of souls and life altering messages. There is no more excitement and revival. It has turned into more of a show. A message that invites you back, but doesn't fill the voids in your life. It is a lack of the spirit. This modern new world is great for many things and is exciting to live in. But, the need to go back to the old fashion ways are lacking, in many ways. Especially in love, and the need for GOD!

Judgement
Once there was a woman who lived next to another woman. Their kitchen windows looked directly across to one another. This woman would look through the other woman's window and see if her kitchen and house were clean. She did this on a regular basis. One day she looked through her window and said."Wow! Her window is just a bit dirty"! Then a few days later, she went to look through her window and said. "Wow! it's even dirtier now than before!" Then a few days later she went to take a look through her window, and could not see her window. She then cleaned her window and realized, the other womans window was very clean. It was her own window that needed cleaning!
Many people like to look around and JUDGE others. They live life noticing what others faults are. How bad someone else looks. How poor or how weak someone is. They look at how another dresses. Even sadder, are the people who worry about those that are judging them. If we all look at ourselves and clean our selves. I say that in every sense of the word. Then, we can comment on others and do this freely. But Trust me! If you take the time to clean yourself from sin and from all the impurities in yourself. You will never look at others the same. You will not see their faults or race or errors. You might notice them, but you will be more understanding of why they are like that. Because when you clean yourself, you will notice that nobody is perfect, especially you!
If you are one who worries about what others think. Most likely, you don't like what you see and are uncomfortable with yourself. Because if you are confident about who you are and all that you have accomplished in yourself. You would be confident and not worry about the opinions of others about you. Realize that those who look at you and break you down. Are people who are insecure about themselves and there house is without cleaning.
It is not a sin to Judge, even God will judge us! It is a sin to do so when your house is not in order. Be blessed!!!

The Boat!
Once there was a child, who built a boat. He built it by hand. He scraped the edges by hand. He got splinters in his hands. He bled at times. He worked on this boat night and day. He finally got it the way he wanted it. "Perfect"! he said! He sanded it down and painted it. He glossed it and shined it up. He weather proofed it and had a very beautiful boat. He placed his initials on it and was done. Proud of his creation and happy with his work. Then he and his father went to the stream. He took his boat out and was letting it run in the stream. Suddenly a great strong current came rushing and took the boat away. He ran after it, but he could not catch up. He watched his work of art float away. He cried!!! His father tried to console him. He told his son, "We can build another one." The son replied, "I want the one I built. I bled, I suffered to make that boat be perfect, and it is gone!"
The father said, we will get you another boat. The one you had is gone. A few weeks passed and the father took the son to a store. In that store there were many boats, toys, and things boys would love. Then the boy yelled out, I found you, I found you! The father and the store owner ran over and the boy was looking at the boat he made in a glass case. The father explained to the owner about the boat. The store owner told him, someone sold it to him and it was for sale. The father bought the boat back and gave it to his son. The son wiped the boat clean. He re-glossed it and shinned it up again. It was finally home.
The Child is Jesus, the Boat is you. The father is God. Sometimes God makes us into what he desires for us and cleans us up. The current of the world sometimes drifts us away. We tend to get lost and dirty. God has to come and clean us once again.
God Bless!!!

The Final Hour Is Upon Us
In the age and day that we are in. It is baffling to me how people don't see the obvious. The final hour is upon us! In Sept. 11th the warning was made world wide for all eyes to see. All numbers have a reference and a meaning. In the bible, numbers have a significance and meaning as well. Small example. Take twelve for instance. Do you think that 12 hours on a clock, 12 disciples, 12 months in a year have just coincidence? It also means the last. The last hour, the last month. the ending of before a renewing. Now back to my point.
There are 11 letters in George W. Bush. The president in charge at the time. The twin towers (World Trade Centers) resemble the number 11 standing side by side. The first flight that collided with the towers was Flight 11. The amount of days from January 1st through Sept 11 is 254 days. Which 2+5+4= 11. From Sept. 11th through till the December 31st is 1 hundred and you guessed it, 11 days. The flight that went down in the fields was flight 254. Once again adding up to 11. What does 11 resemble. The month of preparation. The hour before midnight. The warning of the last time before the end. Then there is the number 9. The birth month. A new beginning. The reason why children are born on the ninth month. A new birth. The area code to Afghanistan is 911. The month naturally, that this occurred, the 9th. On the 11th day. 9/11. Place the two numbers together and the significance is the birth and beginning of the final hour.
If you think all is a conspiracy or done for whatever reasonings you may have. Believe one thing. Weather it was orchestrated by the U.S. government, or a careful plan done by Osama Bin Laden. It has a way more deeper significance than insurance money, or a reason to start a war! Read Mathew, chapter 24. See that all that is occurring today and all that you see on CNN and in the news is all right there. Open your eyes to the obvious. It's not about conspiracy nor government issues. We are living in a spiritual prophecy written over 2000 years ago. Prepare your life. We are in The FINAL HOUR!

Our Father
Our Father
In the begining, when the Trinity was in heaven and the vast open space was the universe of mystery. Our Creator and his son, with the aid of his spirit created the Earth and the heavens. We (man) were made in his image. Given the globe to live in freedom and eternal glory. As you know the story, Adam and Eve were in Paradise. Living with water falls and green grass. Flowers that gave a scent of luxury, and trees that gave the freshest fruits. In the Garden, safe from all the animals and beasts that roamed the earth. That is how it was intended to be. Yet man, in all his glory, finds a way to unravel anything good. The Garden was protected by angels. Protected from what? The beasts that roamed the Earth. Look in the museums, and witness the dinasours. Adam and Eve lived for millions of years in the garden before that fatal desicion, to disobey God. After that they were banished from the Garden and made to be what we are. Providers and workers and bearers of fruit.(children) We have since established history and wrote ancient scribes and scritures to uphold the history we study today. trust me I have heard it a million times, that Man wrote the bible and changed it over the years. But original text and script was inspired by the Holy Spirit. In the book of Revelations it was said that if man changes these words, he adds the plagues in this book to his life. Besides if the Bible, that millions of people read and study was false. Wouldn't by now in the 2009 era. We would have discovered it's false? By the way, funny how I mention 2009. Thats the calander that the entire globe follows. All religions and every creed and race. 2009 after what? We live in a seven day week world wide and universally known and followed. Funny, because that method was created by God in the bible. Isreal and The middle east are at war since...Oh yeah, the beginning of time in Genesis. Wierd we still see them having that war. The purpose of these words is simply to say I believe, and thank...Our Father!

Dumb Athletes
I don't get it! In this day and age where the professional sports athletes are under a very watchful eye. Why do they continue to be so uneducated in the choices they make. Getting arrested for having loaded guns at airports. Bringing drugs and illegal narcotics anywhere. Fighting in strip clubs! Having guns in clubs. Driving drunk. Having affairs and cheating. For whatever reason these athletes think they will not get caught, or don't mind getting caught. I have these words.
You need to look at the news, and I don't mean ESPN. This world has crime and catastrophe happening around the globe. There are financial problems going on. Signs of the Apocalypse are everywhere. People watch sports to get away from the riggers of life. They watch them to be inspired and fill in the negative spots with the joy of watching competition. Your not asked to be roll models, but just as you once did. Kids watch you to be inspired. So they can dream and have something to strive for. The affect that Julious Erving "Dr. J" had on my life was immense. I stayed in shape and ate the right foods and was inspired to be good in school and strive. I watched these great athletes as a kid and loved to compete and try to reach for high goals.
You guys are not providing any positive imprints in sports. I thank all the athletes who never recieve the praise they deserve. For doing the right thing. Those that are charitable and stay grounded. That recognize and remember where they came from. God Bless those who are great fathers as well as husbands. For the rest of you. Take some classes in having class. Look at the children in your community and even in your home. Stop letting them down. As well as your friends and family. Making decisions that make no sense, causing grief to all around you including yourself. It's a privilege to play sports, and it should be done with some honor.
The worst thing Gatorade could of told me was" If I could be like Mike." Parents teach your children they can be better than Mike. God Bless!! b

Lessons 2
Hundreds of star fish were stranded on a beach. A boy started to throw them back into the ocean. A man tells the boy what are you doing. You cant save them all. There are too many. You can't make a difference. The boy picked up another star fish and threw it in. Then he said, I just made a difference to that one! Lesson!!
One day a woman was set to go see her daughter that she hasn't seen since she gave her birth. At the time when she gave birth to her daughter. She was into drugs and not living a suitable life to raise a child. So the courts had her raised by her father. The family moved her away and raised her for 21 years without her knowing her mother. In that time her mother had cleaned up her act and become a devout Christian. Finally at the age of 21 the daughter wanted to meet her mother. She searched for her and found her. They communicated over the phone and planned a day to meet in person. The mother planned the trip and was so happy of this news. She went to church and told everyone. She was filled with pride and joy. The day came to go see her daughter. She got in a taxi taking her to the airport. On the way to the airport, the taxi's front two tires blew out. With there being only one spare, the cab driver could not fix the tires in time. The mother had missed her flight. She went home afterward and was highly upset. She told God, "how could you do this to me?! Now I have to do this all over again! I wanted to see my daughter! I was going to see her today after 21 years of suffering!" As she cried the telephone rang. It was a friend of hers, who told her to turn on the Television and see the news. The plane she was supposed to get on went down in the Atlantic Ocean and there were no survivors. Lesson!

A few words of wisdom
Some people say they can do it. Some people say they can't. They are both right, but which one are you!
when life is hard you separate the contenders from the pretenders.
You can call some people a hurricane. Nobody knows where they came from or why they came your way. But they cause a disaster.
Movement in any direction is progression!
When your spouse asks, "why do you work so much?". You reply, a romance without a finance, is a nuisance.
People argue about things in the bible. Is God Saying this here or does he mean this? Jesus was of this skin color, or argue things that have no value to your salvation. The only thing you really need to know, is you need Jesus, and he loves you!
In life I have learned two things that I cannot argue. Two solid facts to many of my questions. They are: There is a God. 2: I am not him!

It's close to the end!
I don't know if people around are understanding and being alert to all the signs. The signs of the end are all around us. There was a time when the disciples asked Jesus, about his return and the end of the world. In the book of Mathew, chapter 24. He explains this. The wars and rumors of war. This day and age we hear about other countries planning for weapons and nuclear advancement. There is always rumors and the level of security rises. It talks about earthquakes and destruction. In the 2000's we have had major catastrophic destruction. Katrina in the Us. Now we have Tsunamis formed by quakes. An 8.8 in Chile. The Haitian people can tell you about what they are still suffering. The rains and snows are now increasing and showing up in land masses that rarely ever receive it. It snowed last winter in Iraq, and they have snow on extremely rare occasion. The false profits, the plagues and sicknesses. Aids, Swine flu, and all of the new spreads and outbreaks that have happened. Read up and see that all the signs are there. I am not a believer in the destruction of earth in 2012. Besides, the Mayans, did not call it the end. Yet they said events would happen that can be tragic. Not bad for an ancient civilization. Because according to the scriptures. Every 2000 years an event happens that changes and alters human history. No it is not the 2k theory. It is studied and dated that around, without being exact, the 2000 year area, changes occur. Such of large magnitude that history is shaken. Think about it. Just a bit now over 2000 years ago. Jesus, was walking the earth. Now our human calender follows the 2000 AD. Before Christ there were 2000 years of the major prophets and history. Read up people and look for yourself. We are in an era and age where the news events should open your eyes. The crime, the politics. The technology, the life we see. It's funny how a book written over 2000 years ago is telling us about what we would see. Now we watch it unfold and happen.Open your eyes, it's close to the end!

Happiness
Happiness In life we search for happiness. But trust me. If you search for it you usually will not find it. The reason being. If you look in a book. If you look in a song. If you search for happiness in a movie, or in a poem. If you search for happiness in alcohol or drugs. If you feel that the more money you can accumulate the more happier you will be. You are not going to find it. Happiness and total gratification for your life and self, is not in these things. It will bring temporary happiness. If you have a lot of money but are lonely, the money will have no true value. If you have many material objects but no one to share them with, your heart will not find contempt. Songs can inspire as well as a movie or poem. Yet a hard reality moment will flood your heart with a negative vibe hard to shake. You can fool yourself for a while and think that you are happy by finding temporary happiness in an object or thing. Some people even try to find happiness in religion. But even God is a God of love and mercy and wishes us to find happiness. Not just in him, but in life. What good is it to love the lord and to be religious, but all your prayers surround God's ears with asking him to fill your heart with joy. God loves us and wishes us to need him and praise him. As well as be a good servant of his word and love. Yet he wishes for us to accomplish things and fulfill our lives with joy. Relationships as great as some are can be temporary and have it's ups and downs. So as you wonder in life why you cannot find true happiness. It does not come from any thing or any material object. It does not come from drugs or alcohol. It does not come from a relationship. All these things make you feel better in life and with the exceptions of drugs or negative things. All these things are needed in life. Yet true happiness only comes from in you. Belief in yourself. Belief in your ability to make things well. To be in high spirits when things do not look so good. True happiness is from within you. If you don't believe this, then you will also see the reason you never find true happiness is because you doubt even yourself and don't even try. Happiness is within you and only you. Except what you are and love it. What you do not except, change it and focus on making things right. You will eventually see that you and only you, can truly find happiness inside of yourself! True Happiness

Life
Life is a wonderful and mysterious thing. The surprises that you receive in life. The twists and turns of everyday living. You loose things at times that you once have valued so much. Then find out how much a blessing it was to have let it go. We watch our lives and measure our lives on what we made financially, but seldom think of the great blessings we have received. The times we were sick and then healed. The times we needed a spiritual lift and had a friend or someone that you don't even know inspire you. It's always good to work and earn a great check. But more important is the value of what that check will do for you. To buy you things that comfort you. To obtain memories that will last your lifetime. To me that is what is important. To be blessed at times it's as simple as seeing the simple things. The rain bless the grass and trees. The air that you breathe. Your health, and your ability to be free. Cherish life and accomplish all that you can. Chase the dreams that will give you happiness. Keep your loved ones in your prayers so the Angels can bless you too as you pray for others. Laughter, joke and live loving yourself and those around you. Be blessed and enjoy life! Be great at what you do and greater things will unfold and happen to you! Life, can be horrific, but only if you allow it to be. Your minds power can have you escape the dark prison of harsh reality. If you think BIG and positive thoughts. Be good, be great, and enjoy LIFE!
