I don't trust anybody! --Steven Wright Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. --Langston Hughes Laughter sets the spirit free to move through even the most tragic of circumstances.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its

Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. --Dwight Eisenhower 1953 speech The cold world needs warm-hearted Christians. --Unknown If your sunshine wants far outstrip your cold morning desire, have a talk with yourself.

Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change.

Affirmations are any statements you make. Too often we think in negative affirmations. Negative affirmations only create more of what you say you don't want. Saying, I hate my job, will get you nowhere. Declaring, I now accept a wonderful new job, will open the channels in your consciousness to create that. --Louise Hay People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within. --Ramona L. Anderson Overheard at 12 Step meetings.

Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood - don't go there alone. Our sickness is between our ears. Want to hear God laugh? Tell Him your plans. Don't expect to learn about people from books; a person can't fit in a bookcase. Now I can wake up and say, "Good morning, God!" rather than "Good God, it's morning!" When I turned myself over to God, I took my life out of the hands of an idiot. If you pray for a Cadillac and God sends a jackass, ride it. There's no one too dumb for this program, but it's possible to be too smart. My disease is an elephant. As long as I remember it's there, I won't get stepped on. Try praying. Nothing pleases God more than to hear a strange voice. God save me from myself. Constructive criticism: I tell you what's wrong with you. Destructive criticism: You tell me what is wrong with me. My mind is out to get me. I need to get the cotton out of my ears and put it in my mouth. Things I turn over to God most easily are those things already fixed. EGO: Easing God Out God has never been a problem in my life, but I have been a problem to God all my life. I know that I'm not yet the person I can be, but I thank God I'm not the person I used to be. If you think you're happy, you are. If you think you're wise, you're not. When I don't have expectationsof others, anything positive they do is a pleasant surprise. I can borrow trouble only at high interest rates. --Unknown

Emmerich Vogt When journeying down the long dark road, we must continue on and never give up faith well one day reach our destination no matter how ugly that road appears before the naked eye. -- Reed Murphy There is only one reason why men become addicted to drugs, they are weak men. Only strong men are cured, and they cure themselves. --Martin H. Fischer For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction...
