Governments Worldwide shutdown airlines as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), FBI and CIA mobilize investigations dedicated to find out what caused this unimaginable disaster so it will not happen again. For the latest Update, play Audio Clip. listen to this 7 minute audio that tells the real story.

Sometimes we wait until it is to late......but we are our brother's keeper. No man is an island and each child is precious to all. My son is important to me, as is my grandson, as is everyone of my friends children, as is the children of those I do not know are to them. Again I say ...each child is precious. May GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN and FORGIVE US!  What's Good...What's Bad.

Other People's Approval

 "Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
- Rick Warren

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
- Andrew Carnegie

One of the natural, but unfortunate, human characteristics is the sense of a need for approval. It is wonderful to show your appreciation of others and to thank them whenever possible. It is also pleasing when others show appreciation and thank you. But making any significant life choices based on whether or not others approve sets one on a course of emotional destruction.

Make your important choices in life based on your values and your long-term objectives rather than on a need for approval."

Financial Planning

MOST PEOPLE SPEND more time planning a two-week vacation than they do planning their family's financial future. Like a vacation, however, if you want to arrive at a desired financial destination, you must first establish a plan, then follow it as best you can.
       How much money you have is not always a reflection of how much you make. Free-spiritedly riding the financial wave from week to week is both risky and restrictive.
       Each of us chooses, either purposefully or passively, how we invest our time and treasure. The wise man invests his life carefully, using the temporary currencies of this life to gain riches that will last forever.
       How can we become better stewards of God's money? The key is to acknowledge that it takes more than math skills to make savvy financial decisions. Network marketing has proven to be a wise long term investment strategy for creating residual income. Making the decision of what network marketing company to connect to is a serious decision. There are so many companies out there vying for your attention. Do your due diligence and beware any company that talks fast and pushes you to invest. Be a wise steward. Look for a product that everyone can use at a price that everyone can spend. A product that you do not have to stock or the latest ploy of forced auto ships of 100's of dollars to be maintained. Finally what is the upfront price to become a distributor. What's Good ....What's Bad. Work smarter....not harder I recommend GBG.com A Christian business with a product that is priced right for all.

Taking Law of Attraction Action

Taking Law of Attraction Action

Taking law of attraction action is more than just doing something because you think you have to do it. If you have a goal or a desire you are trying to manifest, while taking action on it is good, make sure that you are taking the right kind of action.
If you take action on your desires or goals from a place of fear, the law of attraction will respond in kind by bringing you more of what you fear. For instance, if you are looking for a new job or new sources of income in fear of losing your current sources, what will happen is what you don’t want.
Your fear will be the driving emotion that creates a feeling in your body that is sent out to the universe to bring you back it’s duplicate or evidence in your life. Some say that all emotions in the universe reduce down to these two: fear and love, so if your actions are taken from a place of fear, then your results will be fear-based........to continue post click here---->Law of Attraction

There is no GOD...

Many today say there is no GOD. What do you believe? When you look at the hate and senseless death in this world can there be a GOD?  Children are starving and yet there are those who throw out as garbage, food that they just do not like. There are those who are homeless not because they are lazy and do not want to work but because they can not find work. Yet there are those who have an abundance of everything. Where is justice...where is GOD?
 Our GOD is in heaven as it says in Psalm 115:16, "The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man."  We were given this earth to care for. Not just for human kind but for all living creatures. We have a responsibility to each other and this earth. We are our brothers' keeper. We have made idols of silver and gold trusting in people who care only for themselves. Greed has fueled the destruction and downfall of every past so called great nation. How great we are in our own eyes.....but where is the compassion for our brothers in need.
 GOD gave us a perfect earth an environment to sustain us and every living thing. We are responsible for our actions. Forgive us LORD I pray and continue to have mercy upon us. IF THERE IS NO GOD WE HAVE NO HOPE!  What's good....What's bad!

Walk with the Wise....

The Bible is a source of peace and wisdom. From the book of Proverbs I have constantly been brought back to this passage :"He who walks with the wise grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm". As I continue to evaluate my life's decisions I think how many times I have followed. How many times I have allowed the influence of negative and foolish people bring counsel to my decisions. Have you?

Take control of your life. Stand up for your life. Seek wise counsel and associate with wise people. Just maybe some of that wisdom will rub off on you. What's Good....wise counsel. What's Bad...being a companion of fools! 

Time to Be Happy

Happiness today is relevant to our time. How do you spend your time? Do you find the time to spend doing things that make you happy? Do you have the quality time that you would like with your family?
Happiness starts with time management. You must make the time to enjoy the things that make you happy. Look at each daily task. How much time do you have in a day? How much time do you spend sleeping? How much time do you spend going to and from work? How much time at work? How much time do you spend on entertainment? How much of your time is spent in family activities? Sit down and write them out so you may analyze each item. What is most important to your happiness? There are many responsibilities that we must accomplish in each day. If our time is spent efficiently in every aspect of our day, we can find the time to enjoy each day.
Now that you have found the time to be happy what will you do? Lasting happiness is found in two areas of our life. The spiritual is an area that can not be left out of your life. It envelops inner peace and self fulfillment of hopes and dreams. At times, spiritual happiness can be shared and needs to be shared. Often this happiness is all about you. What your dreams require to be accomplished can lead you to separate yourself from others at times. Time for ones' self can often be time by ones' self. It is not a selfish act but a self fulfilling act. Spend time getting to know yourself and then be true to yourself. Seek happiness within yourself and not let your happiness be dependent upon someone else.
Now the physical area of happiness in your life. The relationships in your life and connections even in your work contribute to the physical well being of your life. That loved one that you hug, that you cook for, that you take care of brings you physical happiness. When your job becomes enjoyable by being challenging and rewarding it too can bring physical happiness. Physical happiness brings others into your life. It is shared happiness.
I find happiness in a sunny day. Watching squirrels play. Seeing a laughing child at play. I am happy in a good book. For me it is crime novels and motivational writers. I am happy with the LADY I love in a quiet moment just snuggling up listening to smooth jazz. I have been told that I enjoy my food. I guess that is a happiness for me also. I am happiest when I laugh. Laugh until I cry. Oh how I love to laugh. I am happier when I have helped someone in need because GOD has blessed me and how can I not give back.
What makes you happy?
What has influenced me the most are the questions that we ask in life. What do you want in life? What do you need in life?  Most people just want to be happy but never make the time to enjoy their happiness. Time can never be saved but our memories can. Let your memories be of happy times.
