Music

I love all kinds of music. One of my hobbies is playing keyboards, guitar, and years ago I played the clarinet. Music expresses emotions and meaning more than any words I could write. This is my life... in the form of songs sang by some of my favorite artists. Go out and buy their recordings if you don't have them. They are awesome.

Words of Wisdom from Randy Pausch

"Be good at something, it makes you valuable."
"The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people."
"Don't complain. Just work harder."
"Anybody can get chewed out. It's the rare person who says, 'Oh my god, you were right.' As opposed to, 'No wait, the real reason is ...' We've all heard that. When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it."
"You just have to decide if you're a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I'm clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."

My name is Pride, I am a cheater.
I cheat you of your God given destiny because you demand your own way.
I cheat you of contentment because you deserve better than this.
I cheat you of knowledge because you already know it all.
I cheat you of healing because you are too full of me to forgive.
I cheat you of holiness because you refuse to admit when you're wrong.
I cheat you of vision because you would rather look in the mirror than out the window.
I cheat you of genuine friendship because nobody's going to know the real you.
I cheat you of love because real romance demands sacrifice.
I cheat you of greatness in heaven because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.
I cheat you of God's glory because I convince you to seek your own.
My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you.
Untrue.
I'm looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry...
If you stick with me
You'll never know.
By Beth Moore

A careless word may kindle strife, a cruel word may wreck a life, a timely word may level stress, a loving word may heal and bless.	Never close your lips to those to whom you have opened your heart. (Charles Dickens)
If we want to be heard we must speak in a language the listener can understand and on a level at which the listener is capable of operating. (M. Scott Peck)	Some people will not tolerate emotional honesty in communication on the grounds that it might hurt others. Therefore, having rationalized their phoniness into nobility, they settle for superficial relationships.
