Words for Thought.

We are living in a time of trouble and tribulation.  This is true.  However, we have the ability to learn from the lives of people we encounter.  We can choose to let life beat us down, or we can learn how to build from our experiences and improve ourselves and the lives of those around us.

I love the words of Robert H. Schuller, "Tough times never last, but tough people do."

We are Oklahoma Strong!

We hear it all the time, "We are Oklahoma Strong."  Well, I believe this.  Oklahoman's have seen many things, from floods, tornadoes, natural disasters, to radicals who attack us where we live, like they did in the Oklahoma City Bombing.  DID WE GIVE UP?     NO!    Did we hide in away in fear and change the way we live to avoid the bad people? NO!  Did we move away to avoid these unfortunate events?  NO! 

WE CHOOSE TO STAY!

We choose to stay, lend a hand to our neighbors, comfort those who needed comforting.  We choose to support our friends, buckle down, roll up our sleeves and get to work.  We are of strong stock and we refuse to let tough times get us down.

I urge everyone to look around them, find those friends who need a little help.  Help those strangers who look a little down.  Be aware of your surroundings and don't allow yourself to become a victim of life or its circumstance.

Remember, "Tough times never last, but tough people do!"
