Too Old To Die Young
Image via Wikipedia If life is like a candle bright
Death must be the wind
You can close
Your window tight
And it still comes flowing in
So I will climb the highest hill
And watch the rising sun
And I pray that I
Don’t feel the chill
Till I’m too old to die young
Let me watch my children grow
To see what they become
Oh Lord don’t let
That cold wind blow
Till I’m too old to die young
Silent Meditation
Image via Wikipedia Four young monks who were also intimate friends decided to practice silent meditation. They promised one another to observe seven days of silence.
On the first day everything went well. All the four monks managed not to utter a single word. When the night came, they gathered in a room to continue their meditation.
It was a windy night. Even though the monks had closed the doors and windows, gusts of wind still managed to creep into the room. With each gust, the fire of the oil lamp flickered. The youngest monk became more and more worried that the light might go out. He had to bite his lips to suppress his gasp of anxiety at every gust.

Dear Friend,
The latest statistics show that 1 out of 144 children have autism (up from 1 out of 10,000 just two decades ago).
In my house, 1 out of 2 children has autism. My 8 year old Ryan.
Three years ago, Ryan was diagnosed with Asperger’s disorder, part of the Autism Spectrum. He often experiences sensory overload, where certain sounds and images of TV and radio causes his brain to malfunction. We would often find him huddled in our closet, screaming uncontrollably, and frightened beyond belief. Normal everyday sounds are “fingernails being scratched on a chalkboard” to an autistic child.
Gratitude Is
Gratitude is
appreciation for people, places, and things, as well as,
for ideas, qualities, and feelings
Gratitude is
thankfulness, and I use it like a key
A key to inspire strangers, my friends, and me
A key to life that sets me free
A key to heal insult and injury
A key to awareness, when I refuse to dream
A key to finding forgiveness and feeling peace
A key to manifest my desires, what I want, and who I want to be
A key to light the dark times, when I can’t see
Do A Little More
Do a little more than you’re paid to. Give a little more than you have to. Try a little harder than you want to. Aim a little higher than you think possible, and give a lot of thanks to God for health, family, and friends.
