Prayer for Children
Pray for children who are given everything except love and attention. We pray that the parents or the guardians of every child will realize that spending quality time, communicating and hugs are more important than cell phones, computers, and play stations, X boxes or a bedroom cable television. A prayer of love goes out to every fatherless and motherless child who cries themselves to sleep because of the lack of food and fresh water. We pray that the physical, emotional, safety and spiritual needs of every child is met. We pray for the children who have self esteem issues due to feeling that their physical appearance, academics or athleticism are not in line with the standards of the media or those of their peers or associates. We pray that young people who suffer self esteem issues will hear words of guidance and encouragement before experiencing psychological or emotional problems or before they physically act out or retaliate against others.- View Full Entry

Most major achievements are born out of failure and disappointments. The space program failed many times before it succeeded. Experimental space rockets crashed and fell back to earth before a reliable space carrier was developed. Most medical cures are products of multiple test tube failures. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers failed before they succeeded. Michael Jordan spent six years in the NBA before he won his first championship. Thomas Edison experimented with countless light bulbs before finding a reliable bulb. The Arizona Cardinals Football team won their division championship for the first time in thirty three years.- View Full Entry

It is better to tell the truth than to be politically correct
It is better to tell the truth rather than to be politically correct Biblical truth is both unchanged and unchangeable and cannot be modified or customized to fit a specific lifestyle or mode of behavior. A person can either accept or reject the teachings of the bible. Carrie Prejean the recent runner up in the Miss America pageant is to be commended for being consistent with her beliefs. She believed that marriage is between a man and a woman which is a noble belief because it is based on the Word of God. A person can either accept the scriptural teachings of marriage or reject them, there is no middle ground. Those who believe in the bible should not apologize for its’ teachings on marriage, political correctness should not over rule the truth when it comes to scriptural teachings.- View Full Entry

A Word to Graduates
Be prepared for the best and worst in life. Life is filled with highs and lows, twist and turns. There are few guarantees in life. The benefit of good deeds and hard work is sometimes reaped years later. Success comes easy for some and is a struggle for others. If success is achieved remain humble and gracious for one criminal act, a major loss of employment or a serious illness can blur the benefits of success. Life is about relationships, negative relationships leads to sadness and positive relationships leads to happiness and success, Share your life with others, value personal relationships more than material possessions.- View Full Entry
