Good afternoon. People with Cerebral Palsy might do things in a different way or need help from other people, but they are really just like everyone else. It is important for people to remember that and treat them the same as everyone else.
At the end of the day, inclusion means accepting people for who they are and treating them equally and respectfully.

Good evening. I believe that one of the most wonderful and beautiful purposes of my life is to shine a light on unique and different perspectives.

Doing things in new and different ways is never wrong or bad. Different ways and new perspectives help us all to learn from, appreciate and grow with one another.

Whether we realize it or not, we are all better people for it. You are in my heart and prayers always. You are loved.

Good morning. As I reflect upon my upcoming birthday, I am reminded of the Lord's faithfulness and goodness. I had and recovered from COVID a few years ago. I had and recovered from RSV this past Winter.
Neither were cakewalks. The Lord is sovereign. The Lord is faithful. The Lord has done and continues to do great things in my life for my good and His glory.
Each day is a gift. A new chance to love others and serve Him. My prayer is that through Him, I continue to bring Him glory, bring people to know and love Jesus, and that He is well pleased. Only what is done for Christ will last. My life is not all about me, and it never was.
The baby who wasn't expected to live through the night will soon celebrate another year of life. Please don't look at me. Look at the goodness of the Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name, and all God's people said, Amen.

“You are like Moses, leading us out from slavery!” Jamila exclaimed. As a bonded brick-kiln worker in Pakistan, she and her family (and her parents before her) suffered because of the exorbitant amount they owed the kiln owner. Barely able to survive, they used much of their earnings just to pay...

A few thoughts on, "Try That In A Small Town," by Jason Aldean.
I think the song has a great message which certainly could have been expressed in a less profane, violent and antagonizing way.
As a Southerner by birth, I was so disappointed in the violence illustrated in the video and the divisiveness expressed. In no way is this an accurate depiction of Southerners or their cultural beliefs.

The exact same message would have been more positively received had that message been expressed not using profanity, violence and negativity, but instead with kindness, positivity, thoughtfulness, gentleness and love.

As a follower of Christ, I strive to emulate these fruits of the spirit. Controversies don't unite us as one nation under God, but merely worsen the existing obstacle by pushing us further into division.

Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested - And immediately, even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders. The traitor, Judas, had given them a prear...

Good afternoon friends, Happy Friday! I gave a speech in Toastmasters recently and hit the timeframe yay! We would love to have YOU join our fun. We are still meeting on zoom the first and third Monday at 7:30pmEST. I've been a Toastmaster for 20 years. Toastmasters is the only place I've earned trophies for representing my club in contests.

Toastmasters is an excellent way to practice your public speaking skills and make wonderful new friends. Please contact me directly for more information. New members are welcome and encouraged. Please consider joining our club as a way to support my endeavor and the beautiful art of public speaking.

I would love for you to join me in my Toastmasters club. Toastmasters has been wonderfully supportive of me, and its my goal to hopefully represent my forty year old Toastmasters Club in a contest next year. Please visit one of our upcoming meetings and help me to achieve this valuable and important goal. Thank you so much for your time and attention.

In many cultures, it’s becoming increasingly popular to define truth according to what you think or believe in the moment. But find out what the Bible says is true—whether we believe it or not. That’s the focus on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg.

13/05/2023

A chainsaw is a powerful tool. Used correctly, it makes carpentry or tree pruning easier and faster. Used carelessly, it can do more damage than good. On Truth For Life, Alistair Begg points out how words can similarly be used to either help or harm.

Jesus’ Triumphant Entry - As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead. “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied ther...
