I AM FREE When I came into this world I was free and without sin.And God's presence was deep within. As I went through life and chose the paths that would be they led me away from him His presence I stuffed all the deeper within.Only to call upon His power whenever I felt scared or sick and tired or that I wasn't ever going to win. Now that my life is changing and again I can see I can feel God's presence once more deep within me. God had let me choose those paths that would be so that today I could know and feel His presence and learn to live and to be me.And with God's presence...once again ­ ­ I AM FREE !!!

THE WINDS OF CHANGE The winds of change are blowing today.Will I release myself and grow with it? Or will I hold on to my old beliefs and stay in the quagmire and quicksand of my past? Life is not a oneway or dead end street.No it travels in all directions continually crossing and intersecting the many other roads it meets...roads that if I choose correctly and wisely will lead me to a new and fulfilling life. With the help of my friends and those around me and my Heavenly Father, the roads I choose today will be the right ones. There are bound to be bumps,potholes,and pitfalls along the way...but then again..hey...nobody said it was going to be a smooth ride. With my friends and God at my side..I know I can make the trip WITH DIGNITY AND PRIDE

­ RESPECT DEMAND OR COMMAND When I Demand respect of you because I boast of my accomplishments,deeds,and actions,or take credit for all that I do or have ever done Or instill fear in you somehow It's no wonder that you mightn't Respect Me...Nor I Myself Though by doing for others openly from the heart treating others with respect,giving praise to God for my life,my abilities,my talents,and giving you trust in me,then and only then might you Respect Me...And I Myself By being Humble,Caring,Honest,Trusting,By being faithful to God,to one's values and one's self, by doing the right thing even when those around you aren't...One Commands Respect Respect is something that must be earned It is "NOT" a birthright Let me always remember that to Command Respect one must give and act with Respect and be thankful to his Heavenly Father for the blessings and the life that has been given God Commands Respect Man Demands It People Who Demand Respect Rarely Receive It!!!!
