Deuteronomy 32:35 "Happy are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." ~~ Matthew 5:4 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." ~~ Psalm 34:18 "Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!" (says the Lord) ~~ Isaiah 43:18 "the God of all comforts comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." ~~ 2 Cor.1:3-4 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy...that by the power of the holy spirit, your whole life and outlook may be radiant with hope.' ~~ Rom 15:13 (Ph) "The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is right now." ~~ Bill Cosby "The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ~~ Mahatma Gandhi “When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won.

They accomplished a revolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society."~ James Madison ********************************************". More about Troy:""A beautiful relationship does not depend upon how good we understand someone but on how well we address misunderstandings" ~~ Unknown “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~~ Marianne Williamson My Mission Statement: To create harmony throughout my universe, using my own knowlegde of compassion and self-being as an example to others. My Spirit Blessing: I am no longer careless in giving away my love. In spirit I love in mutual respect. My Affirmations: As a man among men, I am righteous. As a man among men, I am loved and cared for. "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." ~ Mahatma Gandhi I am a fulltime firefighter/paramedic. I am a divorced male looking to rejoin the single world. I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps Reserves as an Infantryman, and was deployed to Saudi Arabia in support of Operations Desert Sheild/Storm. I am involved in the DeKalb County Marines-Marine Corps League. Being a firefighter/paramedic is the best job in the world. When I am not working, I enjoy going out and spending time with friends and family, going to the local watering holes and throw back a beer or two while listening to some great music, espeacially live bands. I also like to motorcycle, and I study Isshin Shorinji Ryu Okinawa Te Karate. I like to have fun, and make people laugh. Life doesn't always have to be serious and complicated. I am also involved in personal growth work, by practicing and staffing weekends so that people can better understand themselves and find who they are. ********************************************".
