95% of teenagers won't stand up for God. I am one of the 5% that will stand up for God.

If God Answers Your Prayer, He is increasing your FAITH. If He Delays, He is increasing you PATIENCE. If He Doesnt Answer, He has Something BETTER for U.

A white man said, Colored people are not allowed here.
The black man turned around and stood up. He then said:
Listen sir....when I was born I was BLACK
When I grew up I was BLACK,
When I'm sick I'm BLACK,
When I go in the sun I'm BLACK,
When I'm cold I'm BLACK,
When I die I'll be BLACK.
But you sir.
When you are born you're PINK,
When you grow up you're WHITE,
When you're sick, you're GREEN,
When you go in the sun you turn RED,
When you're cold you turn BLUE,
And when you die you turn PURPLE.
And you have the nerve to call me colored?
The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away..
I'm white and i say i can't stand ignorance....Put this on your page if your against racism.

The Lord's Commandments:
1. "I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"
2. "You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them."
3. "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain". (ex. making empty promises in the Lord's name, disrespecting the Lord's name, misusing the Lord's name to commit a crime or blaspheming against places or people that are holy to God.)
4. "Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you."

FIVE STEP TOWARDS YOUR PERSONAL BIG DREAM!
Step 1. Dream your Dream!Don't get trapped in "how".Go ahead and dream. Find out what you would like to do most of all in life. Ignore all the reasons you can't do it, and decide what you would like to do if you had no limitations. Of course, you can't fly by flapping your arms in the air, but you can learn to be a pilot and fly a Boeing 747. Dream your dream and then turn your dream into a personal goal. Simply set yourself to reach that goal no matter what.

Step 2. Decide to Pay the Price. Every dream,every goal,every achievement, cost something. Pay the price, and you can reach your goal. The movie Pumping Iron is about contestants preparing for the world-class Mr. Olympia competition. In the movie Arnold Schwarzenegger undefeated winner of that contest say something like this: "Many people would like to become world-class muscle builders but are unwilling to pay the price. Champions learn to ignore the pain to reach their goal." The same thing is true with reaching any dream goal.There are cost barriers for every achievement. Decide you are willing to pay the price and you can reach the goal.

Step 3. Take One Step at a Time. Even the longest journey is made one step at a time. Break your big goal down into practical steps of smaller action and goals. Line up the steps and take them one at a time. Keep your big goal in mind but move toward the next short-term goal your list. Reach them one by one, and the big dream comes true.

Step 4. Don't Give up.Think of this old story about the "gold rush" days. After working for five years in his gold mine and finding no gold, a man become discouraged and sold his mine for a meager sum. The person who bought it started digging, and only three feet down the tunnel he uncovered, one of the richest veins of gold in the West. He became a millionaire by digging just three feet farther than the person who quit. Maybe it's just a story from another time,but the lesson is true. Once you set your goal, keep at it. Make a little bit each day, and you'll make it. If the dream is worth reaching it's worth reaching until it comes true.

Step 5. Believe in Yourself. This can be the toughest step of all. All around your are people who will give you a thousand reasons why you can't reach your goal.They will even say you are not worthy to reach it, not strong to reach it, not smart to reach it. People who really achieve their dreams ignore discouraging putdowns and choose to believe in themselves. They believe that if they are able to dream the dream, they are able to achieve the dream. Choose to believe in yourself and keep choosing that belief each day. Your big dream can come true.
