THE DASH

The Dash
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and maybe it will help you take life a little slower and with more meaning.In July 2006, a short 3-minute movie was launched on the Internet called The Dash. Since then, over 40 million people from around the world have watched it; and over 20,000 a day continue to watch it as a result of people passing it along.
The movie has been more successful than we could have ever imagined.
More importantly, however, it has inspired many, many people to reflect on their lives and ask that all important question, ‘Are my priorities where they should be?
I hope you enjoy this movie and share it with those who are close to you.

THE JOURNEY

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:53:00 -0400

YESTERDAY WAS SOMEWHAT A DOWN DAY FOR ME AS IT MARKED THE 1ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF MY OLDEST 1ST COUSIN JOYCE; OF THE SISTER’S CHILDREN SHE WAS THE FIIRST TO DIE. YOU KNOW THAT IT HAD TO HAVE A PROFOUND AFFECT ON ALL OF US. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SHE’S BEEN GONE FOR TWELVE MONTHS. HER STRUGGLE WAS LONG AND SOMETIME SILENT. I KNOW SHE HAD ESCAPED THE CLUTHES OF DEATH SO MANY TIMES THAT NO ONE REALLY BELIEVED THAT SHE ACTUALLY LEFT WHEN SHE DID. I SAY THIS TO THOSE WHO THINK THAT YOU HAVE TIME TO GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER…….LISTEN & THINK ABOUT ALICIA KEYS CURRENT SONG FROM HER CURRENT CD ENTITLED “I AM”…LOVE ME LIKE YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN

“Never read a book through merely because you have begun it.” - John Witherspoon

ON A GOOD NOTE

Grateful for the life I’ve got, all that God has granted me; a degree of good health, some wealth, freedom and serenity.

We get off the path from time to time, but pain and love brings us back; we get enough challenges in our lives, to seek God’s help - that’s a fact.

When we are grounded in God’s love, in a way that we can see, that He; only allows those things in life that are meant to be.

We learn to rejoice in bad times, just as we do when things are good; ask for grace to go through, for things happen just as they should.

When we are cruising through negative space, there are lessons we have to learn; the very first thing that we must know is that, “It is just our turn.” (…and we all get one.)
God is working things for good, and we learn each day; whatever our great ideas are, God’s has a better way.

So it becomes our great task, to seek each day to do God’s will; calm ourselves, stop running around and learn to just “Be Still.”

Patience, tolerance, faith and love are valuable commodities; when journeying is the destination, of life and liberty.

BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL ;HAD AN INCORRECT DIGNOSIS…WHICH SENT ME REELING!
BEEN TO THE WEST COST TO FINALLY VISIT MY SON AND HIS FIANCE; HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND DIDN’T REALIZE HOW MUCH WE NEEDED TO GET AWAY. IF GOD’S WILLING, PLANNING TO DO MORE OF THAT AS WE USED TO.

I’ve been trying to get you to put your advice down on paper for years, but here’s an opportunity to do so and actually make some money. Unlike the tedious time-consuming nature of writing a book, this blog lets you post whatever you want, whenever you want, at whatever time you think is relavent. When something gets on your nerves, talk about it, and give advice to others about how they can help themselves if they ever encounter a similiar situation. Talk about bargaining to get what you want in life. Talk about not wearing a victim shirt and getting it together. Talk about how raising children never ends and how important it is to work with the ones that seemingly “get away.” Most importantly, talk about your ministry and how believing in something, anything, will make your life better! What’s your motivation: Besides helping people, which is what you do best, you can make money at it, simply by blogging. I’ll place advertisement on your page and the more people you help, the more visitors you get to the site, which means, more cash. It’s quite simple, and posting a new article, photo, video, or whatever, is as easy as email. You spend a lot of time on email; here you can redirect that time by sending people to your site and reaping the benefits. I’ll help you through it, but it’s time you started writing. Your advice is too good to not be on the web. Trust me, once you get started, you’ll be addicted. Hope you like the birds! Love you, Andre.
