The Journey

One day you finally knew
What you had to do, and began
Though the voices around you
Kept shouting
Their bad advice -
Though the whole house
Began to tremble
And you felt the old tug
At your ankles "Mend my life!"
Each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
Though the wind pried
With its stiff fingers
At the very foundations,
Though their melancholy
Was terrible.

It was already late
Enough, and a wild night,
And the road full of fallen stones.
But little by little,
As you left their voices behind,
The stars began to burn
Through the sheets of clouds,
And there was a new voice,
Which you slowly recognized as your own,
That kept you company
As you strode deeper and deeper
Into the world,
Determined to do
The only thing you could do -
Determined to save
The only life you could save.

By Mary Oliver

Today’s Prayer:

Dear Lord, thank you for planning for my salvation. Thank you that before I was even born, you knew you would adopt me into your family. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to hear about Jesus and the faith to accept him as my savior. Please help me be a good son/daughter to you, one that will make you proud. Amen.


A "peacemaker" is one who seeks to bring harmony and reconciliation between those who are estranged. Peacemaking seeks to produce right relationships between persons. God hates those who sow discord and stir up trouble (Proverbs 6:19). Vet every community and every local church and many homes have people who thrive on divisions and conflict and unrest.

Peacemakers are needed in our churches. Holding grudges and evil speaking are common sources of conflict among believers. Busybodies and slanderers and disagreeable persons can cause havoc in a congregation.

Peacemakers are needed in our homes. Quarreling and disagreements and unwillingness to respect God's order of authority, often lead people to treat the worst those who really love them the most -- intimate family members.

Peacemakers are needed among nations. Christians should face the nuclear question squarely, doing all they can to prevent nuclear war. We are to seek to live at peace with all persons (Romans 12:18). Our faith requires that we love God and our neighbors and pray for our enemies.

The greatest need is to carry to people the message of "peace with God" (Romans 5:1). God has promised a destruction worse than a nuclear holocaust for those who are rejecting the atonement provided through faith in Jesus Christ(Matthew 25:41; Romans 5:9). As individuals on a massive international scale come to know Christ -- to that extent, the world will experience a greater or lesser degree of peace.


John Newton (1725-1807)
Stanza 6 anon.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

I remember
Abby Munn


I remember that I was in the hospital.

i remember being diagnosed with diabetes.

i remember my cousins, friends,and family who blessed me in the name of god who takes care of me.

i remember i was in the ICU

i remember that i don't remember everything
that happened when i was in the ICU in a coma:

i remember i was sitting in a wheelchair for a long time

i remember that my mother was frighted, and scared about me

i remember i was worried too.


i remember my sister, Brother, and parents came to learn the lessons about my sickness

i remember that my friend's parents came to look after me

i remember knowing that after all that happened to me,. i will still love all of my people truly in my heart.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Four corners to my bed,
Four angels there aspread:
Two to foot and two to head,
And four to carry me when I'm dead.
If any danger come to me,
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Four corners to my bed,
Four angels there aspread:
Two to foot and two to head,
And four to carry me when I'm dead.
If any danger come to me,
Sweet Jesus Christ deliver me.
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Amen.






Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth,
This autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask i' the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
Listening the while, where on the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet.
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true;
Such is life's trial, as old earth smiles and knows.
If you loved only what were worth your love,
Love were clear gain, and wholly well for you:
Make the low nature better by your throes!
Give earth yourself, go up for gain above!

MEMORIES
"Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our lives. Yet, if they find warmth there in, who would be grudge them those years that theyhave so guarded? And whatever they take, be sure they have deserved."

The American Diabetes Association Research Program supports basic and clinical diabetes research aimed at preventing, treating, and curing diabetes. The diabetes research projects we support cover the spectrum from islet cell biology and transplantation techniques, to studies in education and behavioral issues. We have increased our support for diabetes research, from providing $18 million in 1999, to providing $46.4 million in 2006.

The ADA Research Funding program is designed to complement the National Institutes of Health (NIH) diabetes research program by supporting new investigators and new research ideas. With support from ADA, investigators are often able to prove that their ideas are solid enough to get more substantial funding from the United States federal government.


What is Down syndrome?

Down syndrome is a set of physical and mental traits caused by a gene problem that happens before birth. Children with Down syndrome tend to have certain features, such as a flat face and a short neck. They also have some degree of mental retardation. This varies from person to person, but in most cases it is mild to moderate.

Down syndrome is a lifelong condition. But with care and support, most children with Down syndrome can grow up to have healthy, happy, productive lives.

In my garden there is a large for sentiment. My garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers and dreams are as beautiful.
A garden is the best alternative therapy.


Flowers are love's truest language
true friendship is like a rose,
we don't realize its beauty until it fades.

God bless America

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God bless america
land that i love
stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above
From the moutains, to the praries,
to the oceans, White with foam
God bless america, my home sweet home.

Lord, I feel so close to you
as sit beside this stream

your glorious work amaze me
I can almost hear you
it seems.
your voice cries out from here

' I created all of this for you'
The sound of water rushing
by Is evidence of all you do
your majestic splendor shows
In places such as this
How mighty are your work
that so many people miss
thank you for this moment
where I can reflect on you
thank you for the rushing stream
my quet place
