I really love this.  It was given to me when I was really down  and the
meaning helped me more than I can ever express. I knew that the one that
sent it understood my dilemma at the time..  I hope this can be of help
to some of the youth.

No one has ever measured  ---  even poets --- how  much a heart can hold!

truth and right, but it is always the right thing to do. Always."

From: Patricia Bird

Missing you

I just can't believe it...
the sun still rises and sets,
the moon and stars still shine,
the flowers still bloom.
the birds still sing.

I just can't believe it....
It still gets dark and light,
the ocean still has waves,
the rain still rains,
the wind still blows,
Is it because they do not know?

I just can't believe it.......
I thought the world would stop
when in my house I found that empty chair

A missing smile
I thought it would stop
for just a while.
- Greta Viney

This is very powerful, maybe not appropriate but I love it.  The world
does go on no matter what has happened!!

From: Mary Tedders

 " We're on going to survive in this world temporally or spiritually,
without increased faith in the Lord- and I don't mean a positive mental
attitude- I mean downright solid faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. That is
the one thing that gives vitality and power to otherwise rather weak
individuals."
                 --- A.Theodore Tuttle

"God gives us good.... as well as bad... " -Bible.....



From: Rich Kuchinsky

´´Mainstream America is counting on you to draw your sword and
fight for them. These people have precious little time and
resources to battle misguided Cinderella attitudes, the fringe
propaganda of the homosexual coalition, the feminists who preach
that it is a divine duty for women to hate men, blacks who raise
a militant fist with one hand while they seek preference with the
other, and all the New-Age apologists for juvenile crime, who see
roving gangs as a means of youthful expression, sex as a means of
adolescent merchandising, violence as a form of entertainment for
impressionable minds, and gun bans as a means to lord-knows-what.
We have reached that point in time when our national social
policy originates on Oprah. I say it´s time to pull the plug.´´ --

"I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains."

From: Stewart N. Thorpe

"God is everyone's best friend. He always listens and understands. He
will always cheer you up when you are down. And he will always help you
in any way he can. And He is always there for us, all we have to do is
but pray."
