Random Thoughts

Sun Jun 27, 2004, 8:34 PM
You live your life doing the everyday things: going to work/school, worrying about bills/payments, think about who you're gonna hang with this weekend, etc...But what really passes you by is life. You overlook all the beautiful little things in life that you take for granted. Ever wake up in the morning and thru your open window smell the fresh flowers growing in your neighbors yard? Ever take the time to think about the cool scent of rain? Ever know how the sun feels on your skin on a nice warm day? We spend our times worrying about all the nuances and tribulations of everyday life and we forget to really LIVE. To live is to experience all that's around you that God gave you.

In the grand scheme of things on a universal scale, our humans take up so little time and space. And what do we do with that time and space? We spend years building beautiful monuments and statues yet we build missiles that destroy them in the blink of an eye. Human history is riddled with grand achievements and at the same time grand destruction. What's the reason for this? I suppose it can be human nature. We're bred to build and destroy even at a young age. Is there any hope for a better world? Of course, because the one thing we do have is choice. The choice to be either angry at someone for having different views or accepting and respecting their beliefs and living side by side with them. What point is there to kill and maim things. Absolutely nothing. And let's face it, if you're reading this far, you're a fortunate individual. Why? Because, you're reading this in front of your computer, which means you're probably reading this either at your work or at home. Meaning you're fairly well off in life. So you probably don't need to worry about your next meal like an orphan in North Korea, or whether or not you'll be alive tomorrow like many people in war torn countries.

Put things into perspective next time you have problems. Are things really all that bad? Probably not. And enjoy what God made for you not only from the trees, to the stars, to the oceans, but to also each other. Make life good for those around you. Be there for you family, freinds, and even strangers. I'm not saying you can change the world, but you can make a world of difference.........

"He dwells in a broken-down shack, in tattered clothes, with no social status, no honor and no respect; he wanders in the wilderness, with no friend or lover, without wealth, beauty, relatives or relations. Even so, he is the king of the whole world, if his mind is imbued with the Lord’s Name. With the dust of his feet, men are redeemed, because God is very pleased with him."

SDAWG! SDAWG! Yo!

Forgive me for I never published.T___T

But....

I found a way to post my poems on devART with the pictures! And I have already posted up, "Love is...", which is my poem with YOUR PIC!

So whenever you can, come check it out and let me know if you approve!
:iconbldragonwhtiger:
URGENT MESSAGE! Please respond ASAP! You might remember me, then again you might not. I have visited your devART web over a year ago looking for a pic for my poem, 'Love is ...'. I came acroos your pic, 'Is Love Blind?', and used it as a background for my poem. Back then, I did asked for your permission if I could do so, but I can't remember if you did respond or not. At that time, I was only writing poetry as a hobby and passion, so I thought as long I gave you credit by putting your devArt name beside the pic and only keep it to myself - then no harm done. But I am now seriously looking into publishing my poems into a book. I would love to still use your pic, but now I need to make sure you have consent in this.
:iconsdawg:
yes, please go ahead...thanks for asking and good luck

Oooohhhh, Thank you, thank you so much! (bows REALLY deeply) I would love to show you how your pic looks like in my poem, but I'm not sure how to post my poems up in devART. That and most of all my poems are unpublished and I'm afraid somebody will steal and claim. So instead, depending how long it takes to publish, I will ask you later for a home address so I can send a copy of my book! But please be patient. It took me years just too actually get the courage to CONSIDER publishing.
:iconsdawg:
I'll be patient :). I'm glad you're pursuing this. Good Luck!

This is for fun.

Supposedly The Phone Will Ring
Right After You Do This.

















Just read the little stories and
Think of a wish as you scroll all
The way to the bottom. There is
A message there - then make your
Wish.















No attachment on this one.

Stories

















I'm 13 years old, and I wished
That my dad would come home from
The army, because he'd been having
Problems with his heart and right
Leg It was 2:53 p .m.. When I made
My wish. At 3: 07 PM . (14 minutes
Later), the doorbell rang, and
There my Dad was, luggage and all!!





I'm Katie and I'm 20 and I've been
Having trouble in my job and on the
Verge of quitting. I made a simple
Wish that my boss would get a new
Job. That was at 1:35 and at 2:55
There was an announcement that he
Was promoted and was leaving for
Another city. Believe me...this
Really works!!!









My name is Ann and I am 45 years
Of age. I had always been single
And had been hoping to get into a
Nice, loving relationship for many
Years. While kind of daydreaming(and right after receiving this email)
I wished that a quality person would
Finally come into my life. That was at
9:10 AM on a Tuesday. At 9:55 AM
A FedEx delivery man came into my
Office.He was cute, polite and
Could not stop smiling at me. He
Started coming back almost everyday(even without packages) and asked me
Out a week later . We married 6
Months later and now have been
Happily married for 2 years.

What a great email it was!!

















Just scroll down to the end, but
While you do, think of a wish.
Make your wish when you have completed
Scrolling. Whatever age you are, is the
Number of minutes it will take for your
Wish to come true. Ex.you are 25 years
Old, it will take 25 minutes for your wish
To come true).
















However, if you don't send this to
People in 5 minutes, you will have bad
Luck for years!!

Go for it!!!
!









SCROLL DOWN!!!!
