When you feel all is lost. ...

 

A hard rain has just fallen
and washed your dreams away.
It drowned out all your hopes
and it seems it's here to stay.
It can't remain forever,
that cloud will soon pass by.
For it's just a darkened blemish
in the never ending sky.
The sun will always be there
after each and every rain.
To dry up all your teardrops
and melt away your pain.
The Lord will be the sunshine
that brightens your despair.
no matter what your problem,
just place it in God's care.

Don't ever stop dreaming

 

Don't ever be reluctant
to show your feelings when
you're happy, give in to it.
When you're not, live with it.

Don't ever be afraid to
try to make things better you might
be surprised at the results.

Don't ever take the weight of the
world on your shoulders.
Don't ever feel threatened by the future,
take life one day at a time.

Don't ever feel guilty about the past
what's done is done.
Learn from any mistakes you might have made.

Don't ever feel that you are alone
there is always somebody there
for you to reach out to.

Don't ever forget that you can achieve
so many of the things you can imagine....
It's not as hard as it seems.

Don't ever stop loving
don't ever stop believing,
don't ever stop dreaming your dreams.

U.N. urges Iraq to ratify convention againsttorture

http://www.bigextracash.com/aft/8728b3cb.html

The United Nations on Saturday urged Iraq to
ratify the organization's convention against
torture "in the nearest future."
Ad Melkert, special U.N. representative in Iraq,
called on Iraq "to intensify monitoring and
investigating allegations of ill-treatment and
torture of detainees and prisoners" to make
sure those responsible for such actions are
held accountable.
"Iraqi has come a long way in recognizing
human rights as a priority for building a
democratic state where human dignity is
preserved and protected but there is yet much
more to be done," Melkert said.
The request was made on the annual
International Day in Support of Victims of
Torture.
So far, 147 countries have ratified the
Convention against Torture and Other Cruel,
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment; 45 U.N.-member nations,
including Iraq, have not yet signed.
The convention calls on nations "to make
torture a crime and to prosecute and punish
those guilty of it."

Why I sacked my secretary

This is a true story.... Last week was my
40th birthday and i really didn ’t feel like
waking up that morning. I managed to pull
myself together and go downstairs for
breakfast, hoping my wife would be
pleasant and say, “Happy Birthday!”, and
possibly have a small present for me. As it
turned out, she barely said good morning,
let alone “Happy Birthday.” I thought…
Well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids…
They will remember.
My kids came trampling down the stairs to
breakfast, ate their breakfast, and didn ’t
say a word to me. So when I made it out
of the house and started for work, I felt
pretty dumpy and despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary
Joanne said, “Good Morning Boss, and by
the way Happy Birthday!” It felt a bit
better knowing that at least someone
remembered. I worked in a zombie like
fashion until about one o ’clock, when
Joanne knocked on my door and said,
“ You know, it’s such a beautiful day
outside, and it’s your Birthday, why don’t
we go out for lunch, just you and me.” I
said, “Thanks, Joanne, that’s the best thing
I’ve heard all day. Let’s go!”
We went to lunch but not where we’d
normally go. Instead she took me to a
quiet bistro with a private table. We had a
couple of mixed drinks and I enjoyed the
meal tremendously. On the way back to
the office, Joanne said, “You know, It’s
such a beautiful day… We don’t have to go
right back to the office, do we?” I replied
with “I suppose not. What do you have in
mind?” She said, “Let’s go to my
apartment, it’s just around the corner.”
After arriving at her apartment, Joanne
turned to me and said, “Boss if you don’t
mind, I’m goinna to step into the bedroom
for just a moment. I’ll be right back.” “Ok.”
I nervously replied. She went into the
bedroom and, after a couple of minutes,
she came out carrying a huge birthday
cake …
Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens
of my friends, and co-workers, all singing
“ Happy Birthday”. & by this time i was
already naked watin 4 the unusual thing
to take place...........lol

balance.

month?
Please Advice!!!

STRONG WORDS...

The less you associate with some people, the
more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it
increases your mediocrity. An important
attribute in successful people is their
impatience with negative thinking and
negative acting people. As you grow, your
associates will change. Some of your friends
will not want you to go on. They will want
you to stay where they are. Friends that
don't help you climb will want you to crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision or choke
your dream. Those that don't increase you
will eventually decrease you.
Consider this: Never receive counsel from
unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone
incapable of contributing to the solution,
because those who never succeed
themselves are always first to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your
life. You are certain to get the worst of the
bargain when you exchange ideas with the
wrong person. Don't follow anyone who's
not going anywhere.
With some people you spend an evening:
with others you invest it. Be careful where
you stop to inquire for directions along the
road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies
his life with the right friendships. If you run
with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But,
if you associate with eagles, you will learn
how to soar to great heights. "A mirror
reflects a man's face, but what he is really like
is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."
The simple but true fact of life is that you
become like those with whom you closely
associate - for the good and the bad.
Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to
family as well as friends. Yes...do love,
appreciate and be thankful for your family,
for they will always be your family no matter
what. Just know that they are human first
and though they are family to you, they may
be a friend to someone else and will fit
somewhere in the criteria above.
"In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In
Adversity We Know Our Friends."
"Never make someone a priority when you
are only an option for them."
"If you are going to achieve excellence in big
things, you develop the habit in little matters.
Excellence is not an exception, it is a
prevailing attitude."
