A young student once asked his old teacher, "Teacher, what is the true measure of greatness?" The teacher looked far away into the mountains and gave the following reply:
Some measure greatness in height and weight, but great people are never so tall as when they stoop to talk to a child or bend their knees to help a hurting friend.
Some measure greatness in physical strength, but great people are never so strong as when they shoulder the burden of the downtrodden stranger.
Some measure greatness in terms of financial gain, but those who show generosity to their family and friends, they are the ones who are truly rich.
Some measure greatness in applause and accolades, but those who seek opportunity to serve in the quiet places of the world, theirs is the higher reward.
Some measure greatness in commitment to achieving in material ways, but those who spur others on to reach their goals is great indeed.
Great people have vision and do not keep the truth to themselves.
Great people have passion for life and are not ashamed to show it.
Great people expect the best from others and give the best of themselves.
Great people know how to work and how to play, how to laugh and how to cry, how to give and how to receive, how to love and how to be loved.
There are many people who are by the world called "great," but those who bear honor in their hearts, who can, in the evening hours, lie upon their beds and peacefully close their eyes, knowing that they have done all that is within their power to live their lives fully and fruitfully, those are truly great people.
~Hi Steve thanks for the video... it is great. I must admitt I am new to events, hosting so have probably not come across "seriously enough" for others to join in the Prayers. And as there is so little responce have decided to cancel it. It is a pity becuase we all need to send prayers to the gulf to heal her...I wish you better going than I have had. love and light Susan~
~Hi Steve!!! Thanks for your input... i actually have the same event on my facebook site, have quite a few signed up there already. Glad to have you as a friend on here and on fb too if you are on there??? love and light Susan~
Hi Steve. I just uploaded five songs to my page. There from some music that kind of popped up in the summer of 2001. They came with a sense of urgency. I was always embarrassed by their primitive, unmusical quality and never shared them. This space has given me the courage. Happy to be here.
saw your post about men who stare at goats... I hear you and may take the video off... the reason it's there is that the character played by Jeff Bridges is one of our best friends in real life and the movie is based on his work in the military years ago... look up Jim Channon on this site and he is the guy...

I originally uploaded five songs and then promptly took down two of the earlier ones and put up keyboard music instead.
