“By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon. And it will be American. I am sick of being told we have to be timid and I’m sick of being told we have to be limited to technologies that are fifty years old. I was attacked the other night for being grandiose. I would just want you to note: Lincoln standing at Council Bluffs was grandiose. The Wright Brothers standing at Kitty Hawk were grandiose. John F. Kennedy was grandiose. I accept the charge that I am grandiose and that Americans are instinctively grandiose.” ~ Newt Gingrich, Republican presidential candidate
"Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace! Where there is hatred let me sow Love; Where there is injury, Pardon; Where there is doubt, Faith; Where there is despair, HOPE; Where there is darkness, Light; Where there is sadness, Joy." ~ St. Francis of Assisi prayer

Bless your generous heart. I used to pray this prayer everyday… thank you for the reminder. This is one prayer that says all that my heart wished to say, “”Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace! Where there is hatred let me sow Love; Where there is injury, Pardon; Where there is doubt, Faith; Where there is despair, HOPE; Where there is darkness, Light; Where there is sadness, Joy.” The world needs to hear and feel this words and we all can be a part of it all. Wishing you and your family all the love, peace and joy. Hope you like “HUG” award…
