STORY TIME!

When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb. She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours.

Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.

On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks cruised toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the frigid grip of the sea, she struggled on - hour after hour - while millions watched on national television.

Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had . . . until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.

Still thawing her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, "Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it." It was not fatigue or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.

Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing the men's record by two hours!

This true story really inspired us. A lot of people might think that women are just trash. But this lady here, Florence Chadwick does something which most of the men could not do. Though some things might sound impossible, you did not even try in the first place. If you had set a goal for yourself and you try your best, it can be done. Nothing is impossible. So try your best and maximize your potential to the fullest!
HOW CAN WE PRACTICE IT IN OUR DAILY LIFE?
We must set high goals and work hard to achieve them, motivate ourselves and make maximum use of our abilities, make learning a life long habit and give out very best to everthing we does

Fear means to fear, be afraid, to stand in awe of, be awed, to reverence, honor, respect. To fear God doesn't necessarily mean or merely mean that we should be afraid of him in the same way that we might be afraid of a lion for example. After all, God created the universe and is sovereign. He does whatever He wants so we can see how we might be afraid of him in the sense of awe.To fear God also means that we revere him. This means that we hold him in the highest regard, worship him, and look up to Him. This is associated very much with the worship of the LORD and the reason for doing so.

Now I don't believe, as I said previously, that fearing God means that we should be afraid of Him. After all, why would you approach someone that you are afraid of? Also, I think it would be difficult to love someone that you are afraid of. So to fear God in this respect is more a recognition of His power and might and how you have no power over Him in any way imaginable. We have to recognize His love for us at this point else the power of God would be overwhelmingly intimidating to us. However, understanding His love for us will assure us that He is looking out for us and that we are indeed important to Him and need not be afraid of Him.

What does it mean to serve God? To serve God basically means to do work for Him or to do His work. We can be servants of God by providing a service for Him and on His behalf. This service could be absolutely anything and not limited to a particular form of religious ministry. We serve God by doing what He wants us to do.

Fear God doesn't mean literally scare of God. It means to respect Him. Believe Him. And listens to Him. I believed that those who don't do that will be punished in the end. God is never wrong. We must listen to out God. In good times and bad times He will help us. So we must respect, love and believe in him. No matter where you are, who you are, God will be there to help you. And will be looking at you every moment.
HOW CAN WE PRACTICE IT IN OUR DAILY LIFE?
We must love and respect God and not use his name in Vain. Respect the authority of people older then us. Believe that God will help those who help themselves. Uphold our school values and school rules as there are a lot of people looking at YOU everywhere. Including God.

Love adorns itself;
it seeks to prove inward joy by

The most effective medicine
Here on earth
Is love unconditional.

My God is will and triumphs in his paths,
My God is love and sweetly suffers all.

How could the parents of a child use them for their own pleasure? How could people kill their unborn children? The Bible says that the natural affection of parents would diminish. The "love of many will wax cold" the Bible says. Any Christian should be appalled and saddened when children are the targets of child abuse and abortion. But until the nation sees every child as precious in God's eyes then the reports of sexual abuse on children will increase and the love of parent's towards their children will grow cold...

FeElinG bored? Read Poems!

My friends are like my garden I tend to them with care Each flower has a different face That blooms with beauty fair
The Daisy's tender manner And precious heart of gold Is always there to bring to me It's Sunshine to behold
The Rose with all it's beauty And elegance so rare Is always unassuming, Giving friendship I hold dear
I dare not forget the Thistle, Who's prickly branches sting And yet behind that thorny branch An inner beauty reigns.
My garden grows within my heart I hold it very dear My friends are like my garden And I tend to them with care

Love for others is a general love. It is not personal as in a friendship and the like. This is where you will help humans in general. For example, you may love people to the point where you will help during disasters, volunteer your time, and so forth. This is simply the love of God operating inside of you to love your neighbor. It is good but it is not as strong as the love you have for a friend or a spouse. Your love relationship with your friend or spouse may pre-empt any love expressions for people in general.Love for others means that you care about other people in general. If you love others. You have a heart for humanity.

Sometimes we use the word friend to describe someone whom we associate with or those who have a more personal interaction then others. This can be deceiving because it is not true friendship. True friendship is intimate and a love relationship. For example, we wouldn't call someone we see everyday on the job a friend even though we may have a very good working relationship. Those people wouldn't sacrifice themselves for our benefit. There is no love relationship there. Therefore, we have to be careful or at least definitive of the term friend.

Ls it possible for a man to love a woman as a friend? On the surface it would appear that this type of relationship is impossible. However, if we consider how we have defined love in a friendship relationship we see that platonic relationships are indeed possible. I dare say that it is very possible that a man can have a dear friend who is a woman and love her like he would love a friend who is male. I admit that this type of relationship does have certain possibilities that are not possible in a homogeneous relationship. However, practically speaking a man and woman can be great friends where their sex has nothing to do with the relationship. It is similar to a brother and sister relationship in that sex is not an issue.

Guys have been a part of my private life. Sometimes a guy is just like a friend and sometimes they may be perceived as a brother. It was quite interesting to me to view it that way. Is like one fine day you would see a guy in a other way. For example, Mary may all of a sudden realize how good Jeremy looks in a certain shirt and pants. This may arouse other things within him besides those things pertaining to friendship. It may arouse a sexual attraction that a man has for a woman. This doesn't mean that Mary feel likes having sex with Jeremy. It simply means that a different button was pushed and she sees Jeremy, at least at that moment, in a way that she has never seen before. This is especially possible in a male-to-female friendship where the two grew up together since childhood.

Love is not just about people of opposite sex. Love can exist between relatives, family members and friends etc. Love doesn't means that you must give one something. By just cheering them up. This is also call love. ((:
