?
This is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is of the center of a black hole in a galaxy millions of light years from Earth. All Christians believe that God created the universe and everything in it. Look at what the image is that is located in the center of that black hole millions of light years away. I won't tell you what it looks like to me, you just decide quickly what it appears to be to you.
Dont waste time. . .
Don't waste time wondering whether you should give up your old life to pursue this new path. Although change is scary, it's the only way you'll develop. Don't promise too much. Creative visions are extensions of yourself. When you mock them, you dishonour your spirit and soul. Silence your critical voice this week.

I Am The Pieces
“I am the longing. I am the unscratched surface of my potential. I am the first step waiting to be taken. I am the smirk that won’t wipe off my face. I am the unquenched thirst. I am the desire. I am the patience that is wearing thin. I am the end of the rope. I am the love unspoken for. I am the fear, but I am the courage. I am the uncharted waters. I am the waiting, the waiting, the waiting. I am the glass half full. I am the unspoken understanding. I am the butterfly effect. I am the arms raised in victory, I am the hands holding my head in defeat. I am the moment of clarity. I am the double take. I am the words I scribble. I am the lips unkissed, my hands not held. I am the lyrics. I am the melody. I am the honesty, I am the loyalty. I am the wonder, the beautiful wonder. I am the late night talk. I am the sour and I am the sweet. I am the last blink before sleep. I am the first breath of the morning. I am the goosebumps, I am the sweat. I am the most romantic thing I’ve yet to do. I am the thoughts uncontrollable. I am the raised eyebrow. I am the teardrop tracing the contours of my face. I am the laughter, the uncensored laughter. I am the mistakes I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned. I am the success. I am the failure. I am the ambition, I am the apathy. I am the opposites inside me. I am the trembling anticipation. I am the love I take. I am the compassion. I am the underestimation I receive. I am the focus I always lose. I am the memories. I am the stolen breath and the skipped heartbeat. I am the worry. I am the calm. I am the smile. I am the freedom, I am the dependence. I am the broken heart. I am the misplaced trust. I am the confidence, but I am the insecurity. I am the faith. I am the logical next step. I am the places I’ve seen. I am the perfect girl for someone out there. I am the first hello with whoever she will be. I am the first kiss. I am the first fight. I am the shared dreams. I am the beating of my heart. I am the infinite space between today and tomorrow. I am the last straw. I am the confusion. I am the incompatibility. I am the comfortable silence. I am the wink. I am the thought in the back of my mind. I am the first star I wish on. I am the aching. I am the poetry I write. I am the uncertainty of who it is for. I am the relief, the sweet relief. I am the shadows across my face. I am the peace. I am the lack. I am the happiness I am surrounded by. I am the woman I’m becoming. I am the girl I used to be. I am the whole, but I am the pieces. I am the pieces.” - TGK

A wonderful quote. . .
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Watch. . .
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

You know you are at the top when:
1. You clearly understand that failure is an event, not a person; that yesterday ended last night, and today is your brand new day.
2. You have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and optimistic about your future.
3. You know that success (a win) doesn't make you, and failure (a loss) doesn't break you.
4. You are filled with faith, hope, and love.
5. You are mature enough to delay gratification and shift your focus from rights to your responsibilities.
6. You have gained the love and respect of those who know you best.
7. You understand that others can give you pleasure, but genuine happiness comes when you do things for others.
8. You are pleasant to the grouch, courteous to the rude, and generous to the needy.
9. You love the unlovable , give hope to the hopeless, friendship to the friendless, and encouragement to the discouraged.
10. You can look back in forgiveness, forward in hope, down in compassion, and up with gratitude.

After a while. . .
“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.” ~Veronica A. Shoffstall

In The Company Of Angels
In The Company Of Angels
If I am the first to go I will wait for you in the place Where the crowns of Angels glow
If I go first because I lost the fight I will be waiting with the Father Where the tunnel opens into light
If I am the first one there I will await you in lush meadows Where heady perfume fills the air
If I go first and leave you lonely We will meet again in paradise In our loved one's company
If I am the first to go, allay your fears I will be waiting in the place Where there are no more tears
If I go before you and we must part I will wait for you in heaven Where sweet music soothes the heart
If I am first to go we will meet again In a far better place than this Where God has banished pain
If I go first and I leave before You will find me with the angels Where suffering is no more
If I am first to go by days or years You will find me waiting there Far beyond this vale of tears
(By Paul Curtis).
