"In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and
crown your efforts with success."
Lord, there are so many endless theories and varied philosophies,
but in the midst of all the confusion,
You are the way, the truth and the life.
Your word is a light upon my path.
Help me keep my eyes upon Your way.
Be my Protector and Guide 'til life is past.
Then lead me into the way eternal.
Amen.

"...I am an irrepressible optimist, because I believe in myself.
That sounds
very arrogant, doesn't it?
But I say it from the depth of my humility.....
I am an optimist because
I expect many things from myself.
I have not got them, I know, as I not yet a
perfect being.....
I want to attain that perfection by service."
- Mahatma Gandhi
"Differences of opinion should never mean hostility. If they did, my wife
and I should be sworn enemies of one another. I DO NOT KNOW TWO PERSONS IN
THE WORLD WHO HAD NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AND AS I AM A FOLLOWER OF THE GITA
I HAVE ALWAYS ATTEMPTED TO REGARD THOSE WHO DIFFER FROM ME WITH THE SAME
AFFECTION AS I HAVE FOR MY NEAREST AND DEAREST".
- Mahatma Gandhi
"The Gospel is helping the poor, the homeless, and to share as He shared.
He made Himself the Bread of Life to be able to share His life with us.
Through this love we grow in holiness. If there is no love there is no
forgiveness, if there is no forgiveness, there is no peace."
- Mother Teresa
God Will!
When it looks like I have failed
I ask, "Lord, what are you trying to tell me?"
Failure doesn't mean I'am a failure.
It does mean I haven't succeeded yet!
Failure doesn't mean I have accomplished nothing.
It does mean I have learned something!
Failure doesn't mean I have been a fool.
It does mean I had enough faith to try!
Failure doesn't mean I have been disgraced
It does mean I dared to adventure!
Failure doesn't mean I don't have it.
It does mean I have to do something in a different way.
Failure doesn't mean I'm inferior.
It does mean I am not perfect!
Failure doesn't mean I've wasted my life.
It does mean I have an excuse to start over again!
Failure doesn't mean I should give up.
It does mean I must try harder!
Failure doesn't mean I'll never make it.
It does mean I need more patience!
Failure doesn't mean You have abandoned me, God.
It does mean YOU MUST HAVE A BETTER IDEA!
