Know that I am with you; I will protect you wherever you go, and bring you back to this land.  I will never leave you until I have done what I promised you.  (Genesis 28 V 15)

Don’t Quit!

Don’t quit is an inspirational poem that you will refer to whenever you’re a bit less motivated. It’s a great way to get back on track again whenever you’re feeling down, are in a rut or have a block of some kind on your road.
And remember: “Don’t quit!”

hen 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 quit.

ife is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow 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.

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

uccess 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 afar,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, —
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

Words of Wisdom

Home School

There has been some discussion in the news media recently on the issue of the Prime Minister and his wife choosing the option of home schooling their two children.  I honestly cannot understand why anyone should have a problem with that given the reasons they gave for making this decision.  As parents they have the right to decide what is in the best interest of their children and this should not be a topic for public debate.  Some are saying he has no faith in the public education system.  These people  need to get their facts straight; these children were never in the public education system to begin with as it is in the case of most Member of Parliaments;  their children attend prep schools.  For those who are seeking to gain political points; please I beg of you leave children out of the politics.

My Child I Made You Different

 

Oh Lord I am so thankful
Each and every day
For loving me the way I am
Enough to gentle say

“My child I made you different
Than anyone else on earth,
So don’t compare your talents
With others to find worth.

“And when you fail or make mistakes,
I’m here to hold your hand,
To dust you off and dry your tears
And give you strength to stand.

“I have a plan and purpose
Designed for you alone.
My word will lead and guide you
Until I call you home.

“So do not be discouraged,
Have faith and trust in Me.
Abiding in My counsel,
I’ll meet you every need.”

So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat drink and enjoy life.  That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.

 Rock disses Cena Survivor Series was yet another entertaining paper view. CM Punk fought Alberto Del Rio tooth and nails to win the WWE  Championship.  I guess now we will stop hearing Alberto saying it is his destiny to hold the title.  Alberto’s ring announcer is the male version of Vicky Guerrero, the only thing missing is the screams!  Mark Henry took the cowardly way out to retain his World Heavy Championship Title.  It was a mean blow; but people like Mark Henry usually end up getting exactly what they deserve and he experienced his share of Karma.  The much anticipated exciting match with the Rock teaming up with John Cena against R Truth and The Miz was anything but exciting.  From the word go the Rock made it all about him, he wanted to shine, he wanted everyone to focus on him so the whole purpose of the match waned into insignificance; it was all about the Rock.  Needless to say it was a disappointing match, it lacked the excitement everyone including myself had anticipated.  At the end of the match in his true egoistic fashion he gave Cena the “Rock Bottom”  I hope in the future Cena will choose more carefully when looking for a tag team partner.  Some people’s egos are just too big to make them  good team players.

The X Factor

Wednesday night was a night of surprises on the X Factor.  It was somewhat surprising to see Marcus Canty in the bottom two after the performance he gave the night before.  LeRoy Bell sang for his life, giving one of his best performances ever; unfortunately he got the less votes and was sent home.  The other act that went home was Lakoda Rayne; that however did not come as much of a surprise as groups do not seem to do well in these competitions.  The competition is now heating up; who is going to make it through to the next round?  Will Chris Rene continue to captivate the audience?  Will Rachael Crow bubbly personality see her through?  Will Marcus recover from being in the bottom two and be on top again?  Will Josh Krajcik, Drew and Melanie Amaro powerful voices put them through.  Will Astro be able to keep on to of his game?  Next week’s performance will provide us with all these answers!
