He Sent Me

I don't know how to say it, but somehow it seems to me
That maybe we are stationed, just where God wants us to be
That the little place I am filling, is the reason for my birth
And just to do the things I do, He sent me down to earth
Sometimes I get to thinking and as my labors I review
That I should have a higher place, with greater things to do
But I've come to the conclusion, when my envying is stilled
That the place to which God sent me, was the place he wanted filled
Since God knows and understands, all things of earth and sea
I fancy that He placed me here, just where He wanted me
So I'll plod along and stuggle, in the hopes that when day is through
That I'm really necessary, in the things God wants to do
And there isn't any service, I can give that I would scorn
For it may be just the reason, God allowed me to be born

Rules to being Human

1. You Will Receive A Body
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period you are here.

2.You Will Learn Lessons
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school, you will have the opportunity to learn lessons - you may like the lesson or think them irrelevent and stupid.

3.There Are No Mistakes, Only Lessons
There is a process of trial and error; experimentation. The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately 'works'.

4. A Lesson Is Repeated Until It Is Learned
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning Lessons Does Not End
There is no part of Life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" Is No Better Than "here'.
When your 'there' has become a 'here', you will simply obtain another 'there' that will again look better than 'here'.

7. Others Are Merely Mirrors Of You.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What You Make Of Your Life Is Up To You
You will have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your Answers Lie Inside You
The answers to Life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You Will Forget All This

11.  You Can Remember It Whenever You Want

Thoughts are Things

I hold it true that thoughts are things
They're endowed with bodies, breath, & wings
And we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or ill
That which we call our secret thought
Speed forth to earth's remotest spot
Leaving it's belssings or it's woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes
We build our future, thought by thought
For good or ill, yet know it not
Yet so the Universe was wrought
Thought is another name for fate
Choose them, thy destiny and wait
For love brings love, and hate brings hate

Listen Christian

I was hungry, and you formed a humanitarian club and discussed my hunger
I was imprisoned, and you crept off quietly to your chapel to pray for my release
I was naked, and in your own mind you debated the imorality of my appearance
I was sick, and you knelt and thanked God for your health
I was homeless, and you preached to me of the shelter of the love of God
I was lonely, and you left me alone to pray for me
You seem so holy, so close to God, but I am still very Hungry, Lonely, and Cold

It is Gonna Take More - Tom Skousen II

Have you ever read a book
    by taking just one look?
How many hills have been topped
    with one single hop?
Have you ever won a race
    by letting up the pace?
How many poems have been craft
    on the very first draft?
Have you ever eaten all you like
    in a solitary bite?

It is gonna take more,
     press on and explore.

Things to Keep

Keep your thoughts positive,
because your thoughts become your words


Keep your words positive,
because your words become your actions


Keep your actions positive,
because your actions become your habits


Keep your habits positive,
because your habits become your lifestyle


Keep your lifestyle positive,
because your lifestyle becomes your destiny

Your Dream

Follow your dream
take one step at a time
and don't settle for less
just continue to climb
     
              Follow your dream
              if you stumble, don't stop
              and lose sight of your goal
              press on to the top

       For only on top
       can we see the whole view
       can we see what we've done
       and what we can do
       can we then have the vision
       to seek something new

Press on and Follow your dream!

Can I Fail

When the task at hand is long and hard,
And the sky above is black;
When fortune has delt you an unkind card
Can you take it and not answer back?

When you think of the worldly things you have lost,
Can you look back at your lot and still be glad
you have chosen to pay the cost?

When everyone turns a cold shoulder to you,
and your message has no avail
When the doors are shut in your face
'till you're blue--just ask yourself "can I fail?"

Then think of the trust of those loved ones dear,
Of their faith exercised in you;
Of your Father-in-Heaven who surely can hear
The prayers of His chosen few.

Just think of the love of that great Mom and Dad
Of the pride they have in you.
Remember those Brothers and Sisters you have.
And perhaps there's a sweetheart too.

Now turn again to your task,
You must take stock of your good of sale
Ask God to help you keep sacred your trust
Then ask yourself, "Can I fail?"
