About Me



"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain."
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

My Interests

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind,people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends ans some true enemies, Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

Henri Nouwen, St. Francis of Assisi, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., my grandfathers and great grandparents.

Music:

I enjoy quite the variety of music, pretty much depending on my mood. I enjoy acoustical guitar and classical.
