T O P I C R E V I E WRandallI was thinking about the most successful people I know today, and I realized something surprising...they all serve others in some way. It got me to thinking that we are all here to give service to others and are only truly happy when providing something valuable to others and in doing so to feel valued. The greatest leaders are also servants. ------------------"Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

It kind of makes you look in a different light at those who dedicate the majority of their lives to service--like ambulance and emergency care personnel, teachers, police officers, and firefighters. They definitely don't do it for the money. Not everyone can be a Mother Teresa, but we can all serve in some capacity. Most would agree that Jesus was a leader, yet He washed the feet of His disciples. Nothing quite like teaching by example! And a special thanks to those in the aforementioned careers. I, for one, am very grateful for the scarifices you make. ------------------"Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

Today, a girl wrote the most beautiful note on my FB page. I had helped her with Deja and the moon and BPD with which she suffered. She made my day with her kind words. If you give to others, God will give back to you so that you never have to worry if other people will. It is the opposite of bondage. It is the ultimate in freedom ime.------------------Passion, Lust, Desire.

El Shaddai, el shaddaiEl-elyon na adoniaAge to age you're still the sameBy the power of the nameEl shaddai, el shaddaiErkamka na adonaiI will praise and lift you highEl shaddai
Through your love and through the ramYou saved the son of AbrahamThrough the power of your handYou turned the sea into dry landTo the outcast on her kneesYou were the God who really seesAnd by your mightYou set your children free
Through the years you've made it clearThat the time of Christ was nearThough the people couldn't seeWhat Messiah ought to beYour most awesome work was doneThrough the frailty of your sonI will praise and lift you highEl shaddai
An old Pisces flame once told me that I need not go to church, cause I tithe every Sunday at work....
Really put some things in perspective for me, and really makes my job easier....
