Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
         Cease from your consideration of it. 

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
         For wealth certainly makes itself wings
         Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

                                                                           King Solomon

 

 

 

Extremists can be found in all sects, faiths and religions. They  have one thing in common. Extreme hate. They congregate together and practice it down to a science. Are you an extremist?

 

Have you ever really thought about how greatly loved we are? Think about it. The Great Creator of all things sent the only son He had to this dark earth to save us. Who are we? Dusty little disrespectful children who think we know the best way to go. Who is He? A Father who greatly loves us. When I think about it I tremble and the tears come because it's an overwhelming thought to be loved so much. Thank you Heavenly Father, thank you Jesus. Help me to love.

 

 

"There is a right time and a right way for everything,
       yet people often have many troubles.
They do not know what the future holds,
       and no one can tell them what will happen.
No one can control the wind
       or stop his own death. 
No soldier is released in times of war,
       and evil does not set free those who do evil."

                                                 King Solomon

In pics: Why is a black president a big deal?

 

 Barack Obama's made history as America's first black president,

 but why's it such a big deal he's got the top job?

 

 

In the 17th and 18th centuries hundreds of thousands of Africans were sold into slavery in America and made to work on cotton and tobacco plantations.

 

 

 In 1865 slavery was abolished, but black people still didn't have equal rights and had to go to separate schools, churches, and even had to play on different footie teams.

 

 

In 1955, this woman, Rosa Parks, sparked protests by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man - which was against the law at the time. 

 

 

 The protests were led by this man, Martin Luther King, who said he had a dream that one day black and white people in America would be able to come together as equals.

 

 

 In 1964 the country made a huge leap forward with the introduction of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which made it illegal to treat people differently because of their race.

 

 

But until now, the top job has always gone to a white man, so it's a huge deal for America, and the rest of the world, that Barack Obama has become president.

 

 

 

 

 

No one can tell me

Nobody knows,

Where the wind comes from,

Where the wind goes

 

It's flying from somewhere

As fast as it can,

I couldn't keep up with it,

Not if I ran.

 

But if I stopped holding

The string of my kite,

It would blow with the wind

For a day and a night.

 

And then when I found it,

Wherever it blew,

I should know that the wind

Had been going there too.

 

So then I could tell them

Where the wind goes...

But where the wind comes from

Nobody knows.

"Because sentence against an evil work

is not executed speedily,

therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them

to do evil."
