So,

I came this website in the process of researching for another post. While I don't agree with her methods of keeping tabs on human interactions with people of different disabilities. This gives a pretty accurate portrayal of what we go through every once in a while.
Sometimes when you get in these situations you can't help but laugh.

Encouragement: Patrick Henry: A Closer Look At Passion

Hey Guys~

As I continue to read more about Patrick Henry and his life, I can't help but think him blessed more than most. Why? He knows what loves and has the gumption to stick with it; not many people do. But John Patrick Hughes says, "Sometimes it feels as if your passion has dried up and disappeared; when life seems to be just another day- up in the morning, stumbling through the routine, and falling into bed at night."

But not for his son. He still possesses a zest for life, uncommon in most adults. This "childlike enthusiasm" can be seen in every aspect of his life. I don't mean childlike in terms of youthful abandon or immediate gratification. This type of passion is different. "It's the passion we are born with and display when very young mass for, doing something because we love it and for no other reason," John Henry explains.

How is it possible to maintain this type of passion throughout your life?

I wish I had some long philosophical explanation for you; but it's quite simple. Patrick Henry values his time. While a majority of his time is spent coping with the realities of his disability, he doesn't allow that to cloud his perspective or the perspective of this family.

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that a lot of these lessons are a part of a common theme. That being said, I can't help but feel I am repeating myself over and over. As a result, I have decided to document exactly where I am in the audio book so I don't have to go looking for it over and over again.

The importance Of Sacrifices

Welcome Back~



I hope everybody enjoyed their weekend; I decided to take September 11 off as a tribute and memory to those who gave their lives in order to save this country as we know it. That got me thinking a lot about the importance of sacrifices. Not only in terms of personal sacrifices, but the ultimate sacrifices. The ones that are done for others with no regard for one's safety or well-being. Personally, I can't imagine the type of courage it took to band together in an effort to foil the plans. Just imagine how many lives were saved in the air as well as on land. That whole day, people stepped up to become heroes by risking their lives. Firefighters, paramedics, or just your average "Joe" .

But then again, that's what America is about- what it's founded on. Not only did it take many trials and triumphs to get and maintain the freedom that we have and enjoy. But let's not forget the first and most important sacrifice- Jesus on the cross

Encouragement: The Source of Strength

So,

I'm sorry I'm more than a week behind .It's been one of those days that have left me speechless. Don't worry, nothing disastrous happened. I just have been given a lot to think about in terms of my future and how the world values have changed. Not to get too politically motivated, but I worry about my health care after my parents are gone. While I got my pump taking care, I got to hear one doctor's perspective and it was a scary one. I just hope people are well informed before they make decisions that could change the world.
Other than that, I feel like my mind is on overload today. I really don't know what else to say other than giving me a lot to think about on on a personal and emotional level

That being said, I thought this blog post was quite fitting for today

Monday

Welcome Back~

It's the beginning of another week and I find myself behind again. But at least I have something to show for it. I finally finished another chapter to my book.. Lately, I find myself distracted by that things on Facebook. I've also opened myself up to some new opportunities, such as becoming involved in Avon for another source of income. But I haven't really gotten into it that much because our family difficulties right now.

Anyway, I came across this website a while back and found it enlightening. It just shows you can find the face of God anywhere, especially in the eyes of a child .

A Unique Look at the Football Season

Hey Guys~

As most of you can probably imagine, I am not a football fan. This is more than just because of the obvious reasons. After all, it just involves young men in suits getting tackled. What's the fun in that? Although, I have to admit the team does look kind of strapping in their uniforms; so it may have some benefits after all.

Still, it's not very often that we get to see a softer side to football. But I was quite surprised after looking over this article.

Encouragement: The Value Of Disabilities In Different Countries

Okay,

So I realize I'm a bit behind. I don't know how many of my readers have been following me in regards to my series on Patrick Henry's book, I Am Potential. I will do my best to resume the series with the next two weeks. I just have tried finishing writing chapter 4 in my book than that has kept me busy. Look in this way, that gives you extra time to catch up on the review if you want to continue along with us. Again, the reviews are labeled under Patrick Henry .

For now, I found this article an interesting one. It shows how different countries are striving to find a useful place in their society.
