I learned how to succeed through failure. Just as a toddler takes his/her first steps and stumbles to the ground, through trial and error, the child finally accomplishes the triumphant task of learning to walk.

There was joy in the eyes of so many people throughout the three day event of service and charity and hope was everywhere. [...]

We went to a part of town called Grapevine; it wasn’t the 1800‘s main street that won us over but rather the people we met — they were happy, upbeat and full of life. It was fun, but a little disconcerting too: we were not used to happy people! [...]
On this wonderful July 4, 2012, I thought I would wish our American friends a Happy Birthday and a sincere thank you for all that the U.S.A. has brought to our world and our way of life. We owe you so much! [...]
About a year ago I posted a blog suggesting in the gentlest terms that we should all have a little cash around in case of trouble with the banking system. The title was “Get Prepared! Something wicked this way comes” I have reposted as a page for your convenience.
The words from the Muslim Brotherhood are frightening and they call for the death of western civilization. Their words are clear straightforward and I believe them. I think you should hear their words but be careful, since you could end up suffering from the hands of the main stream media (MSM). [...]
