“IF THERE IS NO STRUGGLE, THERE CAN BE NO PROGRESS!” FREDRICK DOUGLASS… Great meeting! Much attained! A whole lot more to do, but with perseverance comes results. It’s great to be challenged, it brings out the BEST in you. It also helps to wean out those who don’t believe in you, themselves, or the cause. We are pressing forward! Moving mountains and planting seeds. GOD IS WONDERFULLY GREAT!

Passion… What is your passion? What is your drive? What is it that makes your stomach flutter; your heart pound; your value worth?
Realize that in ”these” times, morals, values, dreams, and drive are null and void! Why? I don’t understand how ”our” children of tomorrow are lost. They have no direction, no concern; there’s no dream. I remember when I was a child how I was asked what I would like to be when I grew up, I wanted to be a designer… I asked a little young man what he wanted to be when her grew up and he said, ”NOTHING”. He didn’t looked confused people. I asked him was he ever asked that, he said ’NO’. I asked a little girl what she wanted to be and she said she wanted to be a dancer like the women on music videos! ARE YOU LISTENING! I JUST CRIED! MY HEART ACHED! PLEASE LET US INTERVENE… LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVEN IF IT’S TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR ONE CHILD! WE HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! -
”It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
