On Memorial Day

Our Gift to the Fallen
For each soldier that has fallen so that many may stand
We honor their spirit as they pass to God’s hand
For without their sacrifice we would live forever in fear
We pray for their loved ones and provide a salute and a tear 
God help us heal the wounds of hate and the misery of war
That is our gift to our fallen heroes that are amongst us no more.

Charlie Gragg

On Power

“Believe in the power of your thoughts, as these will influence your choice of words. Believe in the power of your words, as these influence your actions. Believe in the power of your actions for these become the reality of your daily life. Don’t allow others to create your life by hijacking your thoughts, corrupting your words, and dictating your actions!”

Les Brown
