Even if you're on the right track you'll get run over if you just sit there.
- Will Rogers

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away!

I have always enjoyed this guys wit!

The only acceptance we truly need
Is Self-Acceptance
For once we have gained that
The rest should come
And that which does not come
Will not matter

Ok, ok...I know what y'all must be thinkin...lol...
"So much wisdom...this girl is just over-flowing with it..."
Just kidding...really.
Seriousily, I got this from a good friend today. It is old...it has been in and out my mailbox more times than I have fingers and toes. But it is something to ponder on. So, I thought I would post it.

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two


1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.


2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.


3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.


4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.


5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.


6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.


7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.


8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.


9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.


10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.


11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

Here is another one to add to your list Saphy!

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember

Just received this from one of my dad's shipmates. I have read it before, but thought it was worth passing along. I love it.


His Name is Bill

He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no
shoes.
This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He
is
brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright. He became a Christian
while attending college.

Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative
church. They want to develop a ministry to the college students but are
not
sure how to go about it.

One day, Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his
T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so Bill
starts
down the aisle looking for a seat.
The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now, people
are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything. Bill
gets
closer and closer and closer to the pulpit and when he realizes there are
no
seats, he just squats down right on the carpet.

By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is
thick.
About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the
church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill. Now the deacon is
in
his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man,
very elegant, very dignified, very courtly.

He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone
is
saying to themselves that...you can't blame him for what he's going to do.
How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand
some
college kid on the floor?

It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy. The church is utterly
silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. All eyes are focused on
him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The minister can't even preach
the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do.

And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great
difficulty, he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill ......and
worships
with him so he won't be alone.

The minister chokes up with emotion. When he gains control, he says,

What I'm about to preach, you will never remember.
What you have just seen, you will never forget.
Be careful how you live.
You may be the only Bible...
that some people will ever read".

Now, that's a church for me. 'Cept I wear shoes.
Know 'bout dat chill TH!

To the influence of the Bible we are indebted for the progress made in civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future.
- Ulysses S. Grant

One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is this: it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and censorious.
- J. I. Packer

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing."
