Obama's back to school speech

Obama's speech welcomed kids back to school in a way that would also welcome them to challange to challange themselves with education. He stressed how important it is to stay focused in school so that the kids may succeed. The language in the speech was not too complicating for the kids to understand. He gave great examples of how he, his wife, and others have had great oppositions in their lives, but giving up was not an option. He identified with some of the problems that children face in their homes everyday but he incouraged them to not let life's obstacles keep them from dreaming and setting goals in life and accomplishing them. My favorite part of his speech was the comment "Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up". This is so true life's circumstances can make or brake you but at the end of the day, we decide who's report we believe.

The Crisis in Haiti

There is so much devastation in Haiti. lThere is so much lose of life, mothers, fathers, babies, aunts, uncles, etc. My real concern is of how many souls have veen lost due to sin in the lives of the people who died during the earthquake. We don't know when our final hour is approaching us and so when devastating earthquakes or hurricanes hit, there is so much more at a lose. In Haiti people are bewildered and some are complaing about how much they have lost in monitary value, some are truely missing their family members, but I wonder if the people of Haiti are really concerned about where their souls will reside. I pray that through all that has happened in Haiti, God will be reverenced, recognized and exalted for who he is, The Living God, who cares for us and who has not abandoned us. May the people of Haiti who do not know our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

Have you ever witnessed using the internet?

I have witnessed using the internet over the years without really setting out to do so. Just having a conversation with friends and family. There were times when issues in life come up in conversation and times were rough in someones life and God presented the perfect opportunity to witness. I have had friends say to me, do you remember when you told me about this scripture, it really took root in their lives. Or someone would want to know if I am still attending the same church and want to know if they could come along. There have been times when I would received email from a Christian web site and pass it on to my friends and famiy. We would later have a discussion on the topics or sing new songs to help uplift one another. I have passed on information concering the youth and the secular music that being played today. This information has caused many of us to be set free from bondage that is hidden behind the music and the secular messages that the music artists are promoting. God has also given me the oppoutunity to witness to some of my friends who are in the military. They sometimes get sent to different countries and so we get to witness to each other and keep one another encouraged in Christ as well as pass the love.
