Odd Friday Point of Light

Love is born in fire; it's planted like a seed.

Love can't give you everything, but it gives you what you need.

And love comes when you're ready, love comes when you're afraid;

It'll be your greatest teacher, the best friend you have made.



So give yourself to it if love is what you're after;

Open up your heart to the tears and laughter,

And give yourself to love, give yourself to love.

If God is a DJ

Life is a dance floor

Love is the rhythm

You are the music

If God is a DJ

Life is a dance floor

You get what you're given

It's all how you use it

If your determination is fixed,

I do not counsel you to despair.

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill.

Great works are performed not by strength,

but perseverance.

Samuel Johnson

He who would learn to fly one day

must first learn to stand and walk

and run and climb and dance;

one cannot fly into flying.

The spirit, the will to win,

and the will to excel are the things that endure.

These qualities are so much more important

than the events that occur.

Tongues



The king made a banquet and ordered his clever slave to serve the best food that money could buy. The main food at the meal was tongue...all kinds of tongue cooked in all kinds of ways. All the side dishes and even dessert was also tongue. Then the king objected, the slave said: "My Lord, what excels the tongue? It is the channel of wisdom and learning. By it we make speeches and carry out business. By it great personas are made known. With our tongue we speak even to God. King, there is nothing equal to tongue." The king and all the guests were astounded to hear all this wit and wisdom come from the slave. The next day the king threw another banquet. The same guests came back. This time the king ordered the slave to serve the worst kind of meat he could find. Again, he served tongue-and only tongue. When the king began to scold the slave over this, he answered: "My Lord, can there be anything worse than tongue? Treasons, deaths, violence, injustices, fraud, murder, wars - all are debated and decided by the tongue. The tongue ruins empires and countries, people and families. What is worse than the tongue?"



When would the slave have served your tongue? The first day or second?
