SCRIPTURE
(Make sure you open the link at the bottom of the page to read my friends story.)
Through out all of these horrible actions and terrible tragedies, we must try and figure out what GOD would want us to do, and while it is the hard thing to do and we want revenege we shouldn't kill. Before I read this one email I was strongly for bombing the Mid-East, however I read this scripture sent to me in an email, and it makes me feel otherwise. GOD is the one who judges all and we must let him. As hard as that is.
Romans 12: 17-20
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in
the sight of all. If possible, on your part, live at peace with all.
Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for the wrath; for it is
written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." Rather, "if
your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to
drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do
not be conquered by evil but conquer by doing good."
Just pray the the US and other world leaders do the right thing, in whatever they choose!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
My Favorite Verse
I Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perserveres."

POEMS
Lord's Prayer
You cannot pray The Lord's Prayer
And even once say "I".
You cannot say The Lord's Prayer
and even once say "My."
Nor can you pray The Lord's Prayer
and not pray for another,
For when you ask for daily bread
you must include your brother.
For others are included
in each and every plea --
From beginning to the end of it,
It never once says "Me"!
God's Love
God's steadfast love empowers us
and makes our lives complete,
It gives us hope and strength to
face the challenges we meet.
For everything is possible
to God who reigns above.
And when we place our trust in Him,
He guides us with His love.
God in Love has promised
Grace for every trial,
Strength for every sorrow,
Help for every mile.
And may He in sympathy and
unfailing love impart,
Help for each tomorrow and
new courage to your heart.
