"BEN STEIN SAID: "The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want"

Juanita Barnes

THE FAMILY REUNION: Oh tell me loved ones would my memory stay, and would my image in your heart abide? Or should I be as some forgotten dream, that lives its little space, then fades entire? And oh how well I know that tears are vain! But love is sweet, my dears, and life is brief; would give my spirit stronger wings to know that you remembered still and wept for me. PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR.

A teenager asked that I write this for teenagers his age: "A TEEN-AGER'S PRAYER" God in heaven, I am young and don't understand what it is like to be a parent, but it must be very hard because so many people are failing at it these days. I pray for mom and dad, God, that you will help them to be good parents strong in the ways you want them to be, so I can look up to them with admiration and feel confident that their instruction is right. Help me, dear Lord, to understand my parents. Remind me that when I don't get my way it is because they love me and not because they want to be mean or deprive me of a good time. Help me, God when I become stubborn and refuse to listen, to accept the fact that they have wisdom and experience because they were once teenagers, but I have never been a parent. Put in my heart the respect and consideration they deserve for their years of hard work and sacrifice. They raised me as best they could. Let me not repay them with grief or shame. Rather help me to give them obedience, respect, forgiveness and love. Most of all, God, while I still have my parents here on earth, help me to appreciate them and let them know I do. This will put a little though in your heart and mind.
