Quote of the day – Vicki Harrison
βGrief is like the ocean; it comes on waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.β

Quote of the day – Carl Sagan
Dedicated to finding the truth about MH370
βFinding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don’t practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us – and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along.β
βCarl Sagan
Quote of the day – Emily Dickinson
βIf I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.β

Why things happen as they do
“Heartfelt thoughts & prayers for MH370”
Why things happen as they do
we do not always know,
And we cannot always fathom
why our spirits sink so low
We flounder in our dark distress;
we are wavering and unstable,
But when we’re most inadequate,
the Lord God’s always able –
For though we are incapable,
God’s powerful and great,
And there’s no darkness of the mind
God cannot penetrate…
And while he may not instantly
unravel all the strands
Of the tangled thoughts that trouble us,
He completely understands –
And in His time, if we have faith,
He will gradually restore
The brightness to our spirits
that we have been longing for…
So remember there’s no cloud too dark
For God’s light to penetrate
If we keep on believing
And have faith enough to wait.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
