| I Thessalonians 5:18
In
everything give thanks;
for this is God's will
for you in Christ
Jesus.
The paradox of our time in history is that
we have
taller buildings but shorter tempers,
wider freeways but narrower
viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less,
we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families,
more conveniences, but less
time.
We have more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge, but
less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less
wellness.
We drink too much,
smoke too much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast,
get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired,
read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too
seldom.
We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our
values.
We talk too much, love too seldom,
and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a
life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the
way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a
new
neighbour.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've
done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but
polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish
less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more
computers to hold more information,
to produce more copies than ever,
but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and
slow digestion,
big men and small character,
steep profits and shallow
relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips,
disposable diapers,
throwaway morality, one night stands,
overweight
bodies,
and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet,
to
kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window
and
nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology
can bring this letter to you,
and a time when you can choose either to share
this
insight,
or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time
with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around
forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in
awe, because that little person soon will
grow up and leave your
side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you,
because
that is the only treasure you can give with
your heart and it doesn't cost a
cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
your loved
ones, but most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt
when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and
cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there
again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and
give time to share
the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is
not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take
our breath away.

| Guess it's time to update the ol' xanga again haha. Well, it's
official...I'm on my last year as a teen. geez time sure does
fly. One of the best years of my life i might say; snowed in
houston, graduation, going to the PI, Conference, and moving to
Dallas.
A lot of times I wish I was capable of crying (ya ya mushy stuff) only
so I could really show people how much they've touched me by going out
of their way for me. Surprising me with an awesome shirt,
surprise cupcakes, people calling me, texting me etc. I was
thinking about it before I went to bed so late even tho I have a class
coming up soon (it's ok i can be a little late) and wondered what I did
to/for these people to deserve such treatment. I couldn't think
of anything significant, so I guess whatever I did, it must have been
pretty good.
So I'm 19 now, thanks guys for wishing me a great one, it's been a
great year with all of you and I look forward to another awesome one
spent with you.
P.S. I'm sooooo OLD!
