19 May 09 Who we are..

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by: holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, ‘ Who would like this $20 bill? ‘

Hands started going up. He said, ‘ I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.

He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, ‘Who still wants it? ‘ Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, he replied, ‘ What if I do this? ‘ And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

Now, who still wants it? ‘
Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground
into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,
but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.

You are special Don’t EVER forget it ‘

If you do not pass this on, you may never know the
lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to,
or the hope that it can bring.

Count your blessings, not your problems.

‘ And remember:
amateurs built the ark .
professionals built the Titanic.

13 Feb 09 Ever wondered whats the deal with Friday the 13th?

How Friday the 13th Works

In order to organize time, human beings created calendars.
As part of today’s dominant calendar system, every year is divided into 12 periods called months, consisting of roughly 30 days each.
All days are also grouped into sets of seven, called weeks.
In the Western world, a significant chunk of the population suspects bad things will happen whenever the 13th day of a month occurs on the day of the week called Friday.

Like many human beliefs, the fear of Friday the 13th (known as paraskevidekatriaphobia) isn’t exactly grounded in scientific logic. But the really strange thing is that most of the people who believe the day is unlucky offer no explanation at all, logical or illogical. As with most superstitions, people fear Friday the 13th for its own sake, without any need for background information.

The superstition does have deep, compelling roots, however, and the origins help explain why the belief is so widespread today.
