PSALM 23 Broken Down ((smile))

The Lord is my Shepherd – That's Relationship!

I shall not want – That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures – That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters – That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul – That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness – That Guidance!

For His name sake – That's Purpose!

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death – That's Testing!

I will fear no evil – That's Protection!

For Thou art with me – That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me – That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies – That's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil – That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over – That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life – That's Blessing!

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord – That's Security!

Forever – That's Eternity!

AMEN

Motherhood Will Change Your Life

Motherhood Will Change Your Life

We are sitting at lunch when she casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of "starting a family." "We're taking a survey," she says, half joking. "Do you think I should have a baby?" "It will change your life," I say, carefully, keeping my tone neutral. "I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on the weekend, no more spontaneous vacations..."

But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in child birth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing heal, but that becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw that she will be forever vulnerable.

I consider warning her that she will never read a newspaper again without asking "What if that had been MY Child?" That every plane crash, every fire will haunt her. That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die.

I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub. That an urgent call of "Mom!" will cause her to drop a soufflé or her best crystal without a moment's hesitation.

I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for child care, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting, and she will think about her baby's sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of her discipline to keep from running home, just to make sure her baby is all right.

I want my friend to know that everyday decisions will no longer be routine. That a five year old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at McDonalds will become a major dilemma. That right there, in the midst of clattering trays and screaming children, issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a child molester may be lurking in that restroom.

However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself constantly as a mother. Looking at my attractive friend, I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the pounds of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself. That her life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child. That she would give it up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years -- not to accomplish her own dreams, but to watch her child accomplish theirs.

I want her to know that a cesarean scar or shiny stretch marks will become badges of honor. My friend's relationship with her husband will change, but not in the ways she thinks. I wish she could understand how much more you can love a man who is always careful to powder the baby or never hesitates to play with his child. I think she should know that she will fall in love with him again for reasons she would now find very unromantic.

I wish my friend could sense the bond she'll feel with women throughout history who have tried desperately to stop war and prejudice and drunk driving. I hope she will understand why I can think rationally about most issues, but become temporarily insane when I discuss the threat of nuclear war to my children's future.

I want to describe to my friend the exhilaration of seeing your child learn to ride a bike. I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a dog or cat for the first time. I want her to taste the joy that is so real, it actually hurts.

My friend's quizzical look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. "You'll never regret it," I say finally. Then I reach across the table, squeeze my friend's hand, and offer a silent prayer for her, and for me, and for all of the mere mortal women who stumble their way into this most wonderful of callings. The blessed gift of God and that of being a Mother.

Do not undermine your worth

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you. 

Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. 
Cling to them as you would your life, 
for without them, life is meaningless 
Do not let your life slip through your fingers 
By living in the past nor for the future. 

By living your life one day at a time, 
You live all the days of your life. 
Do not give up when you still have something to give. 
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. 
It is a fragile thread that binds is to each other. 

Do not be afraid to encounter risks. 
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. 
Do not shut out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. 
The quickest way to receive love is to give love; 
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. 

In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings. 
Do not dismiss your dreams. 
To be without dreams is to be without hope; 
To be without hope is to be without purpose. 

Do not run through life so fast that you forget 
not only where you have been, but also where you are going. 
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

I am a Front Desk Clerk..

I am a Front Desk Clerk..

 

I have advanced degrees in accounting, public relations, marketing, business, computer sciences, civil engineering and Swahili.

 

Of course, I have the reservation you booked six years ago, even though you don't have your confirmation number, and you think it was made under a second cousin's husband's last name that you can't remember.

 

It is not a problem for me to give you seven connecting non-smoking pool side downstairs outside suites with two king size beds each, three rollaways and eight extra pillows. And yes; right away I would be happy to install a wet bar in each room and stock them at no charge. I know it's my fault we don't have a helicopter pad.

 

I am a front desk clerk. I am expected to speak all languages. It is obvious to me that when you booked your reservation for Friday, you actually meant Saturday.

 

My company has entrusted me with all financial information and decisions, and yes, I can tell you why your bill from March 1992 contained a $25.00 phone charge -- because obviously, you never paid for your phone charges.

 

Of course I remember that when you were here four years ago we accidentally charged you for a 72 cent long distance call you hadn't made and will make sure it doesn't happen again. And on that reservation you cancelled for the last week with the person you can't remember their name nor gender. I will simply credit your account because you are such an honest person.

 

Yes, I am lying to you when I say we have no rooms available. It is not a problem for me to quickly construct several more guest rooms so we can accommodate you and this time I will include a helipad.

 

 I am a front desk clerk. I am quite capable of checking three people out, taking five reservations, answering eight incoming calls and plunging the toilet in room 221 …. all at the same time!

 

I always know where to find the best vegetarian, kosher, Mongolian barbecue restaurants. I know exactly what to see and do in the city in fifteen minutes without spending any money. I take personal blame for airline food and delays, traffic jams, rental car flat tires and the national debt.

 

Yes I will be happy to cash your Japanese travelers checque for 10,000 yen into Canadian currency.Even though it is Sunday morning, I am constantly aware of the exchange rate for all the world's currencies, after all, I am a front desk clerk.

 

I'm Sorry I should have realized that you meant to book your reservation here. People often confuse us with the Galaxy Delight Motel of Antartica and that you are entitled to the special five dollar discount because you're a member of the Accounting and Bagel Club of North America.

 

Of course, I can "fit you in" and yes, you may have the special $1.00 rate because you are affiliated with the Hoboken Accounting and Bagel Club.

 

We are expected to smile, empathize, sympathize, console, cajole, upsell, downsell, (and know the difference), perform, sing, dance and fix the computer, printers and copiers. (all at the same time).

 

I am a Front Desk Clerk: I do all things … and will do my best to try to look busy when management is around.

KLU KLUX CLAN LEAVE JOB 4 TOP SELLIN RAP ARTIST

KLU KLUX CLAN LEAVE JOB 4 TOP SELLIN RAP ARTIST

WHEN I READ IT .. .DAMN THIS REALLY GOT ME BAD..

September 9th, 2006 – The southeast leadership of the Klu Klux Klan has disbanded and the move could start of a chain of disbanding among KKK units nationwide. The KKK leader stepped to the podium, his hood lowered around his shoulders and a look of disgust on his face. He said, "Sorry guys but this will be our last meeting; we're going out of business." A member stood up in back. "But why sir?"

The leader sighed, "Well, reverend, the Nigras are doing a better job getting rid of themselves than we ever did, so we are no longer needed."

There were rumblings and protest. The leader raised his hand to silence the Klan members, and said, "The corporate rap music says more vile things about black women than we ever thought of and it's on every station in the world. Even their women sing vile things about themselves"

The members grudgingly nodded in approval. The Imperial Dragon continued: "And their women write books and make movies that emasculate Black men better than any hangings we ever had or our speech writers ever could, looking down at two men seated in front who lowered their heads.

"They shoot each other constantly ", and wear shirts saying "stop snitching on drug leaders and killers" he continued;" And as a group, they spend a huge amounts of money on cars, liquor, diamonds. Its bragged about in their magazines -- and nobody needs us to talk about how a lot of their sorry asses keep playing the race and victim cards. Some members went looking for dictionaries, while most members nodded as it hit them that their job was finished; that blacks had become their own worst enemy. The leader shook his head.

"It's time to go back to our regular lives as policemen, judges and congressmen, and leave the business of getting rid of N!$$ers to N!$$ers. They are just better at it than us. "

He then threw his hood on the ground and walked off the stage. This ended the last KKK meeting in the Southeast but Imperial Dragons in other regions of the country opined that the move is a smart one and that other chapters will likely follow.

PHILIPPIANS 4:13

PHILIPPIANS 4:13 reads,

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, A loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.

But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called
Perseverance, insurance called Faith, A driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

Pass it on to ten people whom you want to see blessed. Don't forget to send it back to the one who sent it to you.
