A New World Maybe this century, we’ll Invent a cure for cancer, diabetes and aids; Learn the meaning of the words “World Peace”; Love our fellow man regardless of race and creed; Endeavor to be a more caring and compassionate society; Nurture our children and not our bank accounts; Notice people for who they are and what they do, not what they have; Invest in the future of our planet, not stocks and bonds; and Understand that change begins, first, with us. Maybe, just maybe, if we do all this...the world will be a better place. Happy New Year To Everyone Here On Passions  "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me , this has always been enough." ~Nicholas Sparks from The Notebook [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 12-30-1999).] |

Very down to earth and realistic, If the government would care to take a dare he might earn something about people instead of money. |

Wow did I just have a dejavu! These words just struck me that I've done this and read this, or something like that! Wonderful thoughts Ruth and I sure wish we all could achieve something like this! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Ruth, truly wonderful words ... maybe just maybe, new century, new possibilities! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Just by knowing you....mine already is better I have learned that the pain of a lost love will fade, But the memory of having loved will last forever. |
