"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty;

not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."
Charles Dickens

Dream Big - Unknown Author

If there were ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something worth doing, it is now.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily - but for something that tugs at your heart, something that's your aspiration, something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.
Have fun.
Dig Deep.
Stretch.
Dream big.
Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.

There will be good days.
There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and call it quits. Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.
Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect, and your heart guide you.
Trust.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible.
There is only one you.
And you will pass this way only once.

In troubled times, it's you I seek...

An ordinary day
An ordinary life
Cry out Holy
Scream justice
Talk about having joy

Roast
Toast
Anyway you like it

Kicking and yelling
Havoc
DIY
We go at it alone

Till the end of our sanity
We muster just enough good sense
We seek Him
Emptied of all, when we only needed to say, "Please help?"

Repentance
Restoration
Peace
Why did we wait?
Why are we stubborn?

Learn quickly
Remember the Lord our God...
