Friday. SGA fun!

I think I am going to officially declare that every Friday is SGA day.  Every Friday for the past month or so, I have had a long list of things to do for the Student Government Association. I have to admit it is extremely fun every time Friday rolls around.  Not only am I helping the Marketing Department and the school out by being a part of this volunteer organization, but I am also enjoying the friendship and sense of achievement I get out of Student Government Association.

Good? Morning

Well this morning was one of those where I just didn't want to get out of bed.  The fall weather is making feel as if I were a 90 year old woman with a sore throat and arthritis.  I think it's the cold weather, but I also think it has something to do with the flu season hitting.  If I didn't have to get a poster done today for the Archdale Center, then I would not be at school today at all.  Well I am going to go work on that, so have a good week everyone and try not to get sick!

SGA Event!

Wow! What can I say, that was an amazing day of fun filled college life... Wednesday the SGA held their fall event, entitled Here Comes Hollywood.  Early morning, until the festival started, we were rushing to setup the Photography bay.  There was a lot of preparation in this party including the limo and radio station 105.7 that was there.  We had fun all day long playing around having time to spend together and work together to pull this event off.  For all of the effort that went into this party, I thank everyone that helped SGA make it happen... The food was delicious and the music was great.  Not to mention Daniel Smith dressed up like Chewbacca being the announcer for all of the upcoming happenings during the event.  The winner of the costume contest was the cosmetology lady dressed as Professor Flitwick.

Sometimes You Have to Take Charge

Last night I went to a concert at my church.  The thing I loved most about being there was gaining the chance to be a part of this world missions program called YWAM, Youth With A Mission.  This organization has a ship thats like a floating hospital.  They take to the little third world countries and help the people that need medical attention.  If I can somehow raise enough money to get to Australia and back I am going to go help these kids that are in need.  I heard several stories in between the songs that Saving Sparrow and Five Star Streets sang last night that made me want to cry because of the way the people have to live in places like Papau, New Guinea.  I hope the bands make the difference while they are in America like they made a difference in me last night.  Thanks ya'll!!

The Words to Truly Live By...

I have a link to 93.1 Wolf Country website on my blog, but I just wanted to say that this morning's Words to Live By were excellent.  This is what the link says:

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.  He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.  The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth.  I said what you said but in a different way.”

What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind.  The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.  Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story:  Be thankful for what you have.  Think differently and positively.

Live life with no excuses and love with no regrets.
When life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile.
Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear.
