Like a smoking gun.....

Love....this is a powerful four letter word. Webster defines it as:

a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties <maternal love for a child> (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3) : affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests <love for his old schoolmates> b : an assurance of love <give her my love>

2: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion <love of the sea>

3a : the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration <baseball was his first love> b (1) : a beloved person : darling —often used as a term of endearment (2) British —used as an informal term of address

But what is love really? We tell people that we love them. We tell that special guy/girl that we are so in love with them and no one else can every change that. But are we truly in love? Love can be dangerous depending on how you use it. As I tweeted earlier, love is like a loaded shotgun; be careful how you handle it. You just may get shot. As a 30yr old woman I can say that I have been in love and I have had my share of what I thought was love. You live and learn, but we die and forget it all. Now I am curious to know as high school juniors and seniors, how do you define love? Me, personally, believe that this is the best definition of love: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13: 4-13 (from the Greatest Book ever written)

Facebook

Good Tuesday Morning Sunshine! Most of us (including me) have a Facebook account. I don't go on mines as much as some of you, but when I do all I see is drama. Why is it? Is it necessary to air out all your dirty laundry? Do anyone think about what the put on FB now may come back an haunt you in later in life? I'm not knocking the use of facebook at all. I just wish people would think about what they put on there before they hit post. If you look at all the different scandals that are taking place, you always hear that there are pics on Facebook, Myspace, or somewhere on the web. There are videos floating around on YouTube or circulating through email. All I'm saying is think twice about what you put on the web; because it never goes away. Sending Love! Ms. A

Random Thoughts

Happy Monday! Its the beginning of a new week and we hope this is a great one. As I sit back and think of all the events that has happened in the past few days, I ask myself why? What was the real reason behind all the madness? Why do people lie on others? Why do people take things publicly without confront the person one on one? Life is short and precious. Think about your actions because every action has a reaction. You are the only one that can control your actions. Count your blessing and don't forget to always have an Attitude of Gratitude. You are the captain of your ship! Its up to you to set sail or be shipwrecked. Sending Love!

They went today to get the part and prayerful they will have it fix soon. Thanks again for hanging in here with me.

Remember 9/11

I remember when the attack on the Ground Zero happened. I thought it was a movie. I was at ECSU and I woke up to it on TV (since I slept with the TV on). I got up and it was on in the living room as well. I got dressed and went to work study in Coach James office. He was watching it too. This movie must be a great one that everyone is watching I thought, because it was on in the cafe and the Viking Den when I walked by to go to the gym. I watched it for a lil while then turned the channel. It was on all the channels I turned to. I came to the realization that APRIL THIS IS NOT A MOVIE! Coach came in an was asking me what was going on so far and filled me in on what I missed. I was totally in shock. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Classes were canceled and campus became very quiet. Today, 9 years later, we remember those who died and gave their lives for us. Who made sacrifices to save those who was wounded and some even scarified their on life for others. To those who still stand tall and for the families that loss their love ones fighting to keep America the Land of the Free...I say THANK YOU!

In Memory of  9/11

What A Week!

It may have been a 4day work week but it has been a rough one. Wednesday, I lost it and just snapped on anyone who rubbed me the wrong way. Thursday we were getting closer to the equator with the heat. But through it all, we have made it to Friday!

 First off, let me apologize for my attitude and temper on Wednesday. You all didn't do anything to me and I was very rude for that I want to say I'm sorry! So thank you for not looking at me in an evil way and thinking of me as a mean grouchy lady. You would check on me and ask me if I was OK and if I was going to be OK. So thank you for caring. I couldn't have asked for better students.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend. Enjoy your weekend, the game, and the Fair! Please be safe in all you do. Get some rest and come back Monday ready to grind. Sending Love! Can't end without sending love to 79 and the laDies. Have a great game and Good Cheer!

A Hug for U
