The U and S in Uville

Remembering one of the emails that made rounds after 9/11/01

Every U down in Uville liked U.S. a lot, but the Binch, who lived Far East of Uville, did not.

The Binch hated U.S! the whole U.S. way!
Now don't ask me why, for nobody can say.

It could be his turban was screwed on too tight,
or the sun from the desert had beaten too bright.

But I think that the most likely reason of all
may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
 
But, whatever the reason, his heart or his turban,
he stood facing Uville, the part that was urban.

"They're doing their business," he snarled from his perch. "They're raising their families! They're going to church!

They're leading the world, and their empire is thriving, I MUST keep the S's and U's from surviving!"
 
Tomorrow, he knew, all the U's and the S's,
would put on their pants and their shirts and their dresses.

They'd go to their offices, playgrounds and schools, and abide by their U and S values and rules.
 
And then they'd do something he liked least of all,
every U down in U-ville, the tall and the small, would stand all united, each U and each S,
and they'd sing Uville's anthem, "God bless us! God bless!"

All around their Twin Towers of Uville, they'd stand, and their voices would drown every sound in the land.
 
"I must stop that singing," Binch said with a smirk, and he had an idea---an idea that might work!

The Binch stole some U airplanes in U morning hours, and crashed them right into the Uville Twin Towers.

"They'll wake to disaster!" he snickered, so sour,
"and how can they sing when they can't find a tower?"
 
The Binch cocked his ear as they woke from their sleeping, all set to enjoy their U-wailing and weeping.

Instead he heard something that started quite low, and it built up quite slow, but it started to grow.

And the Binch heard the most unpredictable thing...and he couldn't believe it---they started to sing!
 
He stared down at U-ville, not trusting his eyes,
what he saw was a shocking, disgusting surprise!

Every U down in U-ville, the tall and the small,
was singing without any towers at all!

He HADN'T stopped U-Ville from singing! It sung!
For down deep in the hearts of the old and the young.

Those Twin Towers were standing, called Hope and called Pride, and you can't smash the towers we hold deep inside.
 
So we circle the sites where our heroes did fall,
with a hand in each hand of the tall and the small.

And we mourn for our losses while knowing we'll cope, for we still have inside that U-Pride and U-Hope.
 
For America means a bit more than tall towers,
It means more than wealth or political powers.

It's more than our enemies ever could guess, so may God bless America! Bless us! God bless!

Pass Me The Ball

 
This  MORNING I SEARCHED MY WALLET. . . .
IT  WAS EMPTY.

THEN  I CHECKED MY POCKETS. . .
I  FOUND A FEW COINS.

THEN I  SEARCHED MY HEART. . . .
&  FOUND YOU

. . . I  Realized HOW RICH
I REALLY  AM!!!
 
 
 

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS...
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING
TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!

Reason, Season, or a Lifetime Friend

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support. To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a God send and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire
fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real.. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

I want to thank all my friends for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. If our paths had not crossed, I' wouldn’t be the person I am today…
