ROAR!

My name is ROAR, and I came to perform on this show.

Listen my friends; there is something about me you ought to know;  

I like music, I like to dance, I like to party with people I know.

I am going to let out a roar!

It will be the sound of music that will get you out  

on the floor; dancing, and having fun; you know how we roar!

Don’t run for the door, before I roar. I am going to steal this show.

The Power of the voice

This roar, is released with authority, boldness, and confidence. Courage and strength, is felt in the power of the sound.
Release your roar, and the sound of your voice, will carry an echo that will be heard by a greater number of ears than you could ever possibly imagine. Within such a roar, the spirit of perseverance to face challenges without fear, is in the heart .
I encourage you to use your talent, to pursue your dreams.

Peace is Never Accomplished by Holding Grudges

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” 

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Holding a grudge, is malice, it weakens an individual, and disallows room to forgive.  It preys on the mind of such an individual and grows as a terminal disease, until it consumes that individual’s entire body, mind and soul.  These individuals are unable to think soberly because they are consumed with bitterness, anger, wrath, and evil thoughts of plans to destroy someone else. This is the behavior that prevents us from having peace with our neighbors. 

Grudge: a feeling of deep-seated resentment or ill will; syn. malice 
Malice: desire to see another suffer, to cause pain, injury, or distress to another.   
*Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary

Send Me an Angel

by Ellen J. Barrier

Trouble came to me today
And the tears won’t stop.

Now, my eyes I can’t dry

So, I come to you and say

Send me an angel to stop these tears

And take this burden away.

Send me an angel.

Lord, send me an angel to comfort me

And keep me safe from harm.

Lord, send me an angel.

My Friend

I never thought I could find a friend in you_until you rescued me.
In times of trouble_You are my defense.
When I'm discouraged, and weak_
You are my hope and strength.
I never thought I could find a friend in you_ until you rescued me.
You crowned my head with wisdom, knowledge_ and faith, and sent your holy angel to take good care
of me. I never knew I could find a friend in you_
until you rescued me.
