On a regular basis, I will update this space. There are many good peoople in America who desire to make our country better by giving us things to consider. As new material is received (and reviewed), I'll put some of it here.

The newest addition is   WHERE CHANGE BEGINS 
It's all about what we do to improve our lives
and just what we really do in the process.

WHERE CHANGE BEGINS
An old mystic said this about himself:
"I was a revolutionary when I was young, and my prayer to God was,
'Lord, give me the strength to change the world.'

As I approached middle age and realized that my life was halfway gone without changing a single soul, I changed my prayer to, 'Lord, give me the grace to change all those who come into contact with me, especially my family and friends, and I shall be satisfied.'

Now that I am an old man, and my days are numbered, I have begun to see how foolish I have been.
Now my one prayer is this, 'Lord, give me the grace to change myself.'
If I had prayed that right from the start, I would not have wasted my life."

We can waste years trying to change other people. But we can only really change one person -- ourselves. In the end, that is probably enough.
