Laughter to cheer you.
Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.”
- An Irish Blessing
"I am not fair save to the King,
Though fair my royal dress,
His kingly grace is lavished on

My blemishes He will not see
But loves the beauty that shall be."
-The Bride of Messiah to Her Heavenly Bridegroom
(Song of Songs 1:12-15,5,6)
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim...
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
-Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken"
"People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world your best and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world your best anyway."
- Mother Teresa
"But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food" (Job 23:10-13).
The Apostles Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.".
More about E.j.:"I am a happy, balanced, outgoing person. I'm glad to be friends with so many. I am a believer in the God of Abraham and pray that Christians, Jews and Muslims will learn to get along better, thus the readings from the Bible, the Torah and the Quran.
I'm focused, creative and personable - but I'm Irish, and so have had to work for years to control my occasional outbursts of temper. But passion is a good thing as long as it's combined with compassion - don't you think? I'm a renaissance man with a Judeo-Christian worldview.".
