He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." ~ Psalm 91:1-2

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church….a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”

Charles R. Swindoll

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs

Reflection: 9/11 Ten Years Later

Ten years ago today, we were all effected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Our lives may have been changed forever. It is our responsibility to keep the commitment to remembering the lives of those lost on 9/11, the men and women who perished trying to save them and the many more lives killed while fighting the perpetrators of these terrorist attacks. September 11, 2001 will live forever in our hearts. Hard to believe it has now been ten years to the day when our country was attacked so vehemently and maliciously, shaking American lives and its security forever.

The sheer horror of what we witnessed that fateful day may have been our darkest hours. The way New Yorkers responded and how Americans united to help and support those who suffered loss was probably our greatest moment. It should serve as a reminder that no matter how extreme our differences, we can rally to help each other and comeback better than ever. We are Americans! We are resilient and strong! And we will never forget!



“Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity”

Lou Holtz

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

“The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It’s the same thing, fear, but it’s what you do with it that matters”

Frank Sinatra - A Foggy Day (1998 Digital Remaster)

ocandrew3:

A foggy day,
in London town,
it had me low,
and it had me down
I viewed the morning,
with much alarm,
the British Museum,
had lost its charm
How long I wondered,
could this thing last,
but the age of miracles,
it hadn’t past
And suddenly,
I saw you standing
right there
And in foggy London town,
the sun was
shining everywhere
