NOW THAT IS A LOT OF LOVE TO DO THAT!!!!!!!!!


I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER. THE ANSWERS WE RECEIVE MAY NOT BE THE ANSWERS WE LIKE, BUT I THINK PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED BY WHAT IS REALLY BEST FOR US AT THE TIME. I THINK PRAYER HELPS PEOPLE WITH MANY THINGS IN THEIR LIVES. I BELIEVE THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE THAT IS BEST FOR ALL THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO US. WE CAN LEARN AND GROW FROM THESE THINGS INSTEAD OF BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT THEM. PEOPLE OFTEN GET UPSET IF THINGS ARE NOT THE WAY THEY WANT THINGS TO BE , BUT WE CAN BE POSITIVE AND GAIN DEEPER INSIGHT BY CERTAIN THINGS WE DO NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTAND.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FIGHTING WITH PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IF THEY DIFFER FROM MINE. WE CAN LEARN A GREAT DEAL FROM COMMUNICATION IF TWO DIFFER ON RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. IF WE ARGUE BECAUSE SOMEONE THINKS DIFFERENTLY THEN WE DO ABOUT RELIGION THEN WE JUST CAUSE A WALL TO GO UP BETWEEN US. THE PERSON WE ARGUED WITH ABOUT RELIGION PUTS A WALL WE PUT UP A WALL THEN COMMUNICATION IS LOST SO NOTHING IS GAINED AT ALL THAT WAY.

IF WE ARE PLEASANT IN TALKING OVER DIFFERENCES THEN WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER SEE THINGS AND WE CAN LEARN NEW THINGS. NO ONE IS ALWAYS RIGHT, NO ONE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS TO THINGS. I LIKE TO SEE THINGS AND GAIN INSIGHT TO OTHERS WAYS OF THINKING ABOUT THINGS. I FIND PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT AND SOMETIMES VERY INTERSTING VIEWS ON SUBJECTS. I AM INTITLED TO MY OPINION AND BELIEFS... I WILL LET NO ONE CHANGE HOW I FEEL OR THINK ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS. IF I FEEL I CAN HELP ANOTHER MAKE A CHOICE ABOUT SOMETHING I DO FEEL IS WRONG I TRY TO DO IT IN A MANNER THAT THE OTHER PERSON FEELS MAYBE WHAT I SAY IS WORTH THINKING ABOUT. THEN IF THEY DO CHANGE THAT ACTION OR WHATEVER... GREAT..I WOULD BE OPEN TO THEIR INPUT AS WELL, IT IS UP TO ME IF I CHOOSE TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY AFTER HEARING WHAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS TO SAY ABOUT SOMETHING I MAY NOT BELIEVE. SO MANY PEOPLE FIGHT OVER BELIEFS THAT MUCH IS LOST BY THE FIGHTING AND VERY LITTLE IS GAINED. MARY 1999







LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING>>>


I KNOW PEOPLE THAT PUT ON A DIFFERENT FACE SO TO SPEAK...AND ARE DIFFERENT THEN THEY APPEAR!!! I AM THANKFUL THAT I AM USUALLY ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THINGS AND SEE THE TRUE PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT KIND OF PERSON THAT THEY ARE. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH SOME GIFTS FROM GOD AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THOSE GIFTS. THEY HAVE HELPED ME MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE. SOME OF THESE THINGS TO ME AT TIMES SEEM UNBELIEVABLE EVEN TO ME. I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO WHERE IT BELONGS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN RATHER UNUSUAL. I SHARE THESE THINGS WITH THOSE THAT ARE CLOSE TO ME. AND THEY ALSO AGREE THAT I AM CORRECT IN SAYING I DO HAVE SOME GOD GIVEN GIFTS. I AM GLAD BECAUSE THESE GIFTS HAVE HELPED ME AND OTHERS IN MANY WAYS. SOME MAY SAY YEAH RIGHT... BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW..I DO...THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR ME TO EXPLAIN THE THINGS I REFER TO....AND NO OTHER ANSWER AS TO WHERE THESE GIFTS COME FROM...MARY 1999


MAN IN THE MIRROR--THIS APPLIES TO MAN OR WOMAN--- When you get what you want in your struggle for gain And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say! It isn't your father or mother or wife Who judgment upon you must pass The one whose verdict counts most in your life Is the man staring back in the glass. He's the one you must satisfy beyond all the rest For he's with you right up to the end And you will have passed your most difficult test When the man in the glass is your friend. You may be the one who got a good break And think you're a wonderful guy But the man in the glass says you're only a fake If you can't look him straight in the eye. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartaches and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.by Dale Wimbrow, 1895-1954
