"ANGELS IN THE ALLEY."

Diane, a young university student, was home for
the summer. She had gone
to visit some friends one evening and time
passed quickly as each shared
their various experiences of the past year.
She ended up staying longer
than planned, and had to walk home alone.

She wasn't afraid because it was a small town
and she lived only a few
blocks away. As she walked along under the tall
elm trees, Diane asked
"God" to keep her safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was a short
cut to her house, she
decided
to take it, however, halfway down the alley she
noticed a man standing
at
the end as though he were waiting for her. She
became uneasy and began
to
pray, asking for "God's" protection.

Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and
security wrapped around
her, she felt as though someone was walking with
her. When she reached the
end of the alley, she walked right past the man
and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper
that a young girl had been
raped in the same alley, just twenty minutes
after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact
that it could have been
her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her
safety and to help this
young

woman, she decided to go to the police station.
She felt she could
recognize the man, so she told them her story.

The police asked her if she would be willing to
look at a lineup to see
if
she could identify him. She agreed and
immediately pointed out the man
she had seen in the alley the night before. When
the man was told he had
been identified, he immediately broke down and
confessed. The officer
thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there
was anything they could
do for her. She asked if they would ask the
man one question.

Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked
her. When the policeman
asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't
alone. She had two tall men
walking on either side of her."

Moral of the story...

Don't underestimate the power of Prayer -- Gives
ya goose bumps doesn't
it!

Feel whatever you choose
Stop working so diligently to make your feelings match your circumstances. Realize instead that you can select and direct your feelings to create much more favorable circumstances of your own choosing.
There's no law that says you must harbor feelings of disappointment, dismay, anger and futility when events don't go your way. You can just as easily feel amused, enlightened and more positively inspired than ever before.

You could use your feelings to prolong a difficult situation. Or you can choose other feelings that will enable you to transcend your greatest difficulties and move forward.

How do you feel positive when the world around you is so negative? Just ask yourself whether you would rather be imprisoned by your feelings or empowered by them.

From moment to moment, you are constantly choosing which feelings to hold on to and which ones to discard. Be ever mindful of this power that is yours, for by improving the way you feel you can improve anything in your life to whatever degree you decide.

Your feelings are powerful forces, and by taking control of them you can move your life in any direction. Feel whatever you choose, and you are choosing to make it so.

One can, but wonder

Imagine a world of no diversity,life taken for granted,no curiosity
No thought of the past,no hope for tommorrow
A heart wrenching thought,a world full of sorrow

What would be the purpose,what the need
A world dominated by hate,
ruled by greed

Does this sound familiar
Is this scene at task,the state of the world
which leads us to ask

From whence do we come,where are we headed
The seeds we have have sown,the climate
we've created

Is it too late,have the lines been drawn
as a society,have we failed
as a race,are we doomed
