"We've flown the skies like birds, swam the sea like fish, but have yet mastered the simple art of walking the earth like brothers." "It`s Who You Know That Determines Where You Go"(Romans 6:23) "If you want to see the rainbow, you have put up with the rain." "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."(Dr. MLK, Jr.) "Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph." (Haile Selassie) "Make your plans so big that you know that you will fail if you don`t have GOD in them."
