Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to love you, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. 5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them, knowing you can't have them. 6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who's falling in love with your smile. 7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. 8. Don't waste your time on a person who isn't willing to waste their time on you. 9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before we meet the right one, so that when we meet them, we are grateful. 10. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. 11. There are always going to be people who hurt you, so what you have to do is keep on trusting and be more careful of who you trust the next time around. 12.

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. ~Aristotle

"Love is always patient and kind. It is never boastful or conceited. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight with evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, it always trusts, it always hopes, it always perseveres. Love never falls. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." ~1 Corinthians 13~

"Jesus said unto her: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet he shall live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" ~John 11: 25-26~

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love really IS everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more." ~Erica Jong

~Never Been Kissed~~~ That thing... that moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person. And you realize that that person is the only person you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift, and you want to laugh, and you want to cry.... 'cuz you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it'll go away at the same time.

Life is nothing without friendship ~Marcus T. Cicero

You guys are my best friends - through thick and thin - we'll always be together - just messin' around - we're four of a kind.... MAN... I *love* you guys ~Yeah New Years

*Give me work to do, give me health, give me joy for simple things, give me an eye for beauty, a tongue for truth, a heart that loves, a mind that reasons, a sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, but a true kindness and a noble common sense. At the close of each day give me a book.. and a friend with whom I can be silent.*

^^In my darkest hour, in my deepest despair, will you still care, will you be there? Through my trials and my tribulations, through our doubts and frustrations. In my violence, in my turbulance, through my fear and my confessions, in my anguish and my pain. Through my joy, and my sorrow, in the promise of another tomorrow. I'll NEVER let you part. You're always in my heart.^^

<The Lord has turned all our sunsets into sunrises>

-No man ever loved like Jesus. He taught the blind to see and the dumb to speak. He dies on the cross to save us. He bore our sins. And now God says, "Because He did, I can forgive you."-

*Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got. -Janis Joplin*

~Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [Psalm 23:4]~

~Boys are cheats and liars, they're such a big disgrace. They will tell you anything to get to second baseball, baseball, he thinks he's gonna score. But if you let him go all the way, then you a horticulture studies flowers, geologists study rocks. All guys really want from you is a place to put their cockroaches, beetles, bugs that make you say yuck. That's all guys really think about, but forget it, no such luck!~

"Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. But she had a fate bestowed upon her that could only be broken by true love's first kiss. She was locked in the highest room in the tallest tower, and was gaurded by a fire-breathing dragon. Many knights tried to rescuse her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. So she sat in her tower, and waited for true love, and true love's first kiss."

"A woman has got to love a few bad men once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one!" -Mae West

"Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is." ~1 John 3:2~

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~John 3:16~ <--- learn this

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God." So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and it became a louthsome and malignant sore on the people who had the mark the beast and who worshiped his image. The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died. Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood. And then I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Righteous are You, who are and who were, o Holy One, because You judged these things; for they poured out of the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it." And I heard the alter saying, "Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgements." The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with fierce heart; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory. Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and it's water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prhophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for the are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. ("Behold, I am coming like a theid. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.") And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is done."

^^^This is what happens during the Great Tribulation. If you are not taken to Heaven by God in the Rapture, you will have to endure this. Only true believers in Jesus are called during the Rapture. Where do you want to be?
