If you know me then you obviously know who I am because I am an open book to all my friends. I don’t hold anything back. But I guess this section is for the people that don’t know anything about me. The people that saw my picture and thought I might be cool enough to check out. First and foremost I love my family and I treasure my friends. I want to be everybody’s friend and I want to be a friend to everyone. If you need to know anything else about me then just ask. Like I said i am an open book.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

The Will of God will never take you
Where the Grace of God cannot keep you
Where the Arms of God cannot support you
Where the Riches of God cannot support your needs
Where the Power of God cannot endow you.
The Will of God will never take you
Where the Spirit of God cannot work through you
Where the Wisdom of God cannot teach you
Where the Army of God cannot protect you
Where the Hands of God cannot mold you.
The Will of God will never take you
Where the Love of God cannot enfold you
Where the Mercies of God cannot sustain you
Where the Peace of God cannot calm your fears
Where the Authority of God cannot overrule you.
The Will of God will never take you
Where the Comfort of God cannot dry your tears
Where the Word of God cannot feed you
Where the Miracles of God cannot be done for you
Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.
Today is just today, this minute, this second. Today is not ruled by yesterday, only flavored by it. Tomorrow is a blank slate without chalk that crosses time. We cannot write on it. We can have hopes and dreams. But tomorrow will come with its own agenda. Today we work and hope tomorrow comes without the pain of past, distant memories. In it’s own right today, this minute, this second is all we have. One day at a time. One day at a time!
Dear Jesus, I pray that you are my strength when I feel there is no more hope in my life. I pray that you do not give up on me even when I find myself my farthest away from you. I pray that you are with me in the good times and the bad not just the bad.

God grant me the serenity to accept the thing I can not change... the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Just for today...
Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for 12 hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that: "most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take each day as it comes and fit myself to it.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn, and not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count; I will do at least two things I don't want to do - just for exercise; I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt - they may be hurt but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything, and not try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests - hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax. During this half-hour, sometime, I will try and get a better perspective of my life.
Just for todayI will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe that, as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
One Day at a Time
There are two day in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible adversaries, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day... Today. Anyone can fight the battle of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful extremities; Yesterday and Tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad -- it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow will bring...
