Charlie Brown "Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help." -Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson) "It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that bother me, it's the parts I do understand." Mark Twain All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. T.E. Lawrence "Once the game is over, the King and the Pawn go into the same box" - Italian Proverb "Do or do not do. There is no try" - Jedi Master Yoda "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Martin Luther King "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. Mark Twain.". More about Thomas:"It's great to be alilve, to be connected with great people, and to be serving a higher cause! My passion is serving God through serving the least of these in the world. I do this through Bridges of Faith International, working with orphans and other at risk kids in Ukraine. We also run a 140 acre retreat center in central Alabama called BridgeStone, serving all ages and all streams of Christian faith. In this past six years, we have added a new chapter to the BOF ministry. We bring groups of adoptable Ukrainian oprhans to BridgeStone. We show the love of God in word and deed while the experience cultural exchange and Christian camp. While here, the kids often meet families who adopt them! What an amazing opportunity to change lives!".
