call on Jesus
by Nicole C. Mullen
from "Talk About It"
Verse 1:
I'm so very ordinary, nothing special on my own.
Oh, I have never walked on water,
And I have never calmed a storm.
Sometimes I'm hiding away from the madness around me
Like a child who's afraid of the dark
Chorus:
But when I call on Jesus,
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles' and soar
When I call on Jesus,
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call
La la la la la, la la la la la
Verse 2:
Weary brother, broken daughter,
widow widow mother, you're not alone
If you're tired and scared of the madness around you
If you can't find the strength to carry on
Chorus:
When you call on Jesus,
All things are possible
You can mount on wings like eagles' and soar
When you call on Jesus,
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue you when you--
Bridge:
Call Him in the mornin', in the afternoon time
Late in the evenin' He'll be there
When your heart is broken,
And you feel discouraged,
You can just remember that He said
He'll be there
Chorus (2x):
When I call on Jesus,
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles' and soar
When I call on Jesus,
Mountains are gonna fall
'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me (back to top first time, 2nd time finish with "when I call")
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la-a-a

Where does my help come from, my help comes from the Lord
Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

So I wait for you
Hungry, I come to you for I know you satisfy
I am empty, but I know Your love does not run dry
And so I wait for You so I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
Broken, I run to You for Your arms are open wide
I am weary, but I know Your touch restores my life
And so I wait for You so I wait for You
I am empty, but I know Your love does not run dry
And so I wait for You so I wait for You

Chapter 38 In Better Hands now
In Better Hands
by Natalie Grant
It's hard to stand On shifting sand It's hard to shine In the shadows of the night You can't be free If you don't reach for help And you can't love If you don't love yourself But there is hope when your faith runs out Cause I'm in better hands now It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground Take this heart of mine There's no doubt I'm in better hands now I am strong All because of you I stand in awe Of every mountain that you move I am changed Yesterday is gone I am safe From this moment on There's no fear when the night comes round I'm in better hands now It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground Take this heart of mine There's no doubt I'm in better hands now It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground It's like the world is silent though I know it isn't true It's like the breath of Jesus he's right here in this room So take this heart of mine There's no doubt

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
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. 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. by Marianne Williamson

19 things to say to children
NINETEEN SOMETHINGS TO SAY TO CHILDREN
1. I love you! There is nothing that will make me stop loving you. Nothing
you could do or say or think will ever change that.
2. You are amazing! I look at you with wonder! Not just at what you can do,
but who you are. There is no one like you. No one!
3. It's all right to cry. People cry for all kinds of reasons: when they
are hurt, sad, glad, or worried; when they are angry, afraid, or lonely.
Big people cry too. I do.
4. You've made a mistake. That was wrong. People make mistakes. I do. Is
it something we can fix? What can we do? It's all over. You can start
fresh. I know you are sorry. I forgive you.
5. You did the right thing. That was scary or hard. Even though it wasn't
easy, you did it. I am proud of you; you should be too.
6. I'm sorry. Forgive me. I made a mistake.
7. You can change your mind. It's good to decide, but it is also fine to
change.
8. What a great idea! You were really thinking! How did you come up with
that? Tell me more. Your mind is clever!
9. That was kind. You did something helpful and thoughtful for that person.
That must make you feel good inside. Thank you!
10. I have a surprise for you. It's not your birthday. It's for no reason
at all. Just a surprise, a little one, but a surprise.
11. I can wait. We have time. You don't have to hurry this time.
12. What would you like to do? It's your turn to pick. You have great
ideas. It's important to follow your special interests.
13. Tell me about it. I'd like to hear more. And then what happened? I'll
listen.
14. I'm right here. I won't leave without saying good-bye. I am watching
you. I am listening to you.
15. Please and Thank You. These are important words. If I forget to use
them, will you remind me?
16. I missed you. I think about you when we are not together!
17. Just try. A little bit. One taste, one step. You might like it. Let's
see. I'll help you if you need it. I think you can do it.
18. I'll help you. I heard you call me, here I am. How can I help you? If we
both work together, we can get this done. I know you can do it by yourself,
but I'm glad to help since you asked.
19. What do you wish for? Even if it's not yet time for birthday candles
and we don't have a wishbone, it's still fun to hear about what you wish
for, hope for, and dream about
1. I love you! There is nothing that will make me stop loving you. Nothing
you could do or say or think will ever change that.

Do it anyway
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, 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 will 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.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Aboriginal people and culture
The Kaurna (pronounced "Garner" or "Gowna") people are a group of Indigenous Australians whose traditional lands lie in and around the Adelaide Plains of South Australia. Kaurna language is the spoken language of the Kaurna people.
Kaurna culture The Dreaming story of the Land...
Living Kaurna Cultural Centre
Purrunna Kaurna Munaintya Wodli
"Yaintya trukkungga ngadlu, Kaurna meyunna, ngadluko perko yertaunangko warrabandi. Ngadlu kumangka towillilla manko mankorendi Munaintya purruttiappitti purtititya.
In this centre we, Kaurna people, tell our stories from the land. We assemble together in the spirit in order to celebrate renewal of the Dreaming."
Over eons of time, the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains have gathered at Warriparinga. The Living Kaurna Cultural Centre was built here to ensure that Kaurna culture, and the Dreaming Story of the Land, is passed on from generation to generation.
Visitors from the wider community and tourists are also very welcome to come and learn about Kaurna culture and share in the special environment of peace that exists at Warriparinga. All visitors are invited here in a spirit of humanity, and are asked to respect Kaurna cultural protocols when they visit the Centre

Day Shelter!
Tom Shadyac returned for the local premiere of his newest movie, “Evan Almighty.”
The Charlottesville premiere, held at the Paramount Theater, also honored Shadyac’s work with the First Street Church Project “I didn’t want to pillage the community,” Shadyac said, referring to how movies bring a cast and equipment into an area, and “then split.”
COMPASS, the organization that will run the day shelter at the First Christian Church on West Market Street, wanted to form a shelter but did not have a building. Through the Virginia Organizing Project, Shadyac discovered COMPASS’s need.

RecoHeart Attack Warning Signs
Symptoms of a Heart Attack
Pressure, fullness, tightness, or pain in your chest, lasting 5 minutes or longer.
Constant indigestion-like discomfort.
Chest pain that moves to your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
Lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, sweating, or a sick stomach.
Unexplained shortness of breath.
Unexplained anxiety, weakness, or tiredness.
Palpitations, a cold sweat, or pale skin.
Not everyone will have the classic symptoms. For some people, a heart attack feels like a burning sensation, similar to indigestion or heartburn, and the pain may be in only a small area of the chest. Some patients may not feel anything at all.
Heart attack symptoms in women may be different from those experienced by men. Many women who have a heart attack do not know it. Women tend to feel a burning sensation in their upper abdomen and may experience lightheadedness, an upset stomach, and sweating. Because they may not feel the typical pain in the left half of their chest, many women may ignore symptoms that indicate they are having a heart attack.
Many people put off getting the care that could save their lives because they think that these signs (also called heart attack symptoms) do not mean a heart attack. Although chest pain is usually the most common sign, some people have heart attacks without having chest pain. That is why it is important to be aware of the other warning signs. Anyone who has any of these signs for 5 minutes or longer should see a doctor right away. Call an ambulance (dial 911) or have someone drive you to the nearest hospital emergency room. Do not drive yourself to the emergency room. If you are having a heart attack, driving could be dangerous to you and others.

family Meals
do it
Family Meals
I am a strong believer in family meals.
I think my kids just took them for granted.
When I had four kids and worked in a city an hour away and they were involved in soccer and after school activities, we still had family meals. Everyone has to eat. So sometimes we ate at 4:30 and sometimes at 7:30. But we all ate together. No fast food, except maybe a subway for the kid coming back from Soccer at 9 pm.
Family Meals: strong value, do it.
