I want to learn more:)

I want to learn more as I teach, so off I go to Florida to teach, not very excited about it, but I know it will be a blessing for me, as I teach, I will learn much:)

to teach and to preach only one letter difference, but it can change a life:)


Learn and know

Knowledge is one of the greatest treasures you can ever have. Each day is filled with countless opportunities to obtain more of it and to make good use of it, and no one can ever take it away from you.
In fact, the more you share what you know the more valuable that knowledge becomes to you. In knowledge there is great and continuously growing power.

Do not be content to hear secondhand from others how the world works. Take the initiative and make the effort to learn for yourself, and gain real, useful knowledge.

The amount and quality of knowledge you have will determine to a large extent the quality of your life. When you know what you need to learn, and when you know how to find it, anything becomes possible.

You already have great knowledge and you have access to much, much more. Achievement comes from using your knowledge to drive your actions toward the goals you have chosen.

Every day, every situation, every experience is a learning opportunity. Make good, purposeful use of what you know and learn, and there is no limit to what you can achieve.

-- Ralph Marston

beautiful people

The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross


wow I really think this is so true, let's celebrate the beautiful people today:)

new day, new smile:)

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Thursday:)

“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”
Jimmy Dean


destination is an interesting word, it implies that you are moving ,
direction to be determined:)

last night as I talked and walked with QBF I heard my self say it,:
I am looking for purpose lately

and today my scripture from my devotional:)


come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord.... and he will teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths: Micah 4-2

so I will not ask about my purpose, I will only listen and wait:)

do your part daily:)

Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.

Shirley Chisolm

Happy B Day girl

Just yesterday, she came into a house full of boys, she has been a ray of sun and a bucket full of smiles, a true gift from God:)

always the center of attention , because she deserves to be the queen:)

God Answers Prayer:)

yesterday, I facilitated two chapels, and the basic theme was prayer:)
I taught the kids about breath prayer:
as you take in air you say : thank you God
as you release air you say: for all things
so with every breath you are praising him, try it today:)
remember the Jesus Hug:)



We must no longer see prayer as preparation for action. Prayer must be understood as action itself, a way of responding, a potent spiritual weapon to be used in spiritual warfare against the most powerful forces in the world. Prayer is not undertaken instead of other actions, but as a foundation for all the rest of the actions we take.
Jim Wallistest
