Love Story

I love a good love story.

What a sad story. Patrick Swayze lost his battle to cancer this week. My heart goes out to his wife. They were married 34 years, I can not even image being that in love with someone for so long and then have to go on without that person. Now dont get me wrong, I know it happens all of them time. However in today's world, that is hard to come by. Very hard, this world is changing ever so quickly and it is not for the better. Our younger generation is being raised with no manners and it seems everyone thinks they are entitled to what ever they want, and it doesn't matter if it hurts someone else. Marriages these days dont mean they same as they used to. Once upon a time, I do meant until death do you part. And even most of the ones that do last, someone is not faithful. I just cant help but wonder where this world is going. Are we really so rude that we cant let a young girl except an award without stepping in? Like the president or not, what happen to respecting the President of the United States. I just dont understand what is happening to this country. May God have mercy on us all.

I somehow got way off track, I watched this video for the first time today, it is of Patrick Swayze and his wife. Click here.

I wish / hope that we could all experience a love like theirs. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Much Love

Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at the
opening session of their
Senate.

It seems prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright
was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was
expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:


Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to
seek your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but
that is exactly what we
have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it Choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it Justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it Building self
esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it
Freedom of Expression
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
Enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and
set us free. Amen!

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the
prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor,
logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding
negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of
this prayer from India, Africa and Korea ....
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of
the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he
has ever aired.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and
wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'one
nation under God.'


Can I get an AMEN!!!!!!! This world has taken a serious turn for the worse. Where are the morals? If it is this bad now, what will it be like for our Children's children?

Awesome Speech

My son Brandon sent me this link on Monday. It is of a lecture given by a Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. (I must warn you, you may need tissues). I think this is a must watch for everyone.

After watching the video, I wanted to know how he was doing, sadly he passed away on July 25th.

He aslo did a four part interview with Diane Sawyer, here is the link to the first part if you'd like to watch.

My heart goes out to his family, I hope you will include them in your prayers.

"Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman

This is the first time I've heard this song, Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. It is beautiful. I know you've all heard the horrible news by now. I started to post a few times but kept hitting delete.

In case you have not heard, or you dont know who he is: He is a Christian singer (very good), he is also a father to six, 3 of which were adopted from China. He and his wife also help lots of other families with adoption grants.

One night last week, one of his sons was coming up the driveway (at night) and did not see their youngest daughter, Maria Sue, she was hit and killed.

What a terrible thing to happen to any family. My heart goes out to all of them.
