Eragon1021 PLEASE READ PROFILE 1st's blog: "Inspiration"

Mom, Well here it is again, Jan 4th, the day I hate the most. It's 10:15am... I can still hear the phone that rang 3 years ago at this time. How Dad could only say... "Tom your Mom's down and the paramedics are here. It's not good get over here now." I barely remember running down the stair to the garage and getting in the car. How I drove I don't even know but I got there. Just in time to see the paramedics walk out with their equipment.It was over before it even started. Boy was I pissed at God that day and for some time afterwards. I've long since forgiven him... kind of funny too. A little guy like me thinking I have any right to tell God I forgive him. I truly believe though he understands how I felt and what I mean so I'm not too worried. I still have a hard time stopping by your grave to see you. I'm sorry for that. I guess part of me is holding onto that tiniest thread of denial. You know if I don't see you there then I can fool myself that you aren't gone. Well I know that doesn't work and I am trying my best to get past that. Just don't ever think for one moment that I don't think of you. God the number of times I catch myself wanting to say, "I gotta call Mom and tell her this." It hurts not being able to hear your voice and see your smile. At the same time you have no idea how proud I am to be able to say you are my Mom. Yes I said ARE... just because you are physically gone doesn't mean you aren't still here. You'll always be here and I won't ever let that change. Anyone reading this might ask themselves... "Why would Eragon1021 write this on CherryTAP?" I simply will reply... "Why not?" If you really are true to your heart you can speak your mind without caring what others think. I've never been afraid to tell people how much I love you and it's never gonna change. So Mom always remember I love you and always think of you. You'll be forever in my heart. A children's book called Love You Forever says it all... Love you for ever... Like you for always... as long as I'm living, my MOMMY you'll be... Miss you much, xoxo PS... To anyone who reads this... don't wait until it's too late. Bury any hard feelings or grudges you have with loved ones and make each day a memory to treasure. There's no second chances or do-overs in life. So make it count right from the start. God Bless and Happy new Year.

Read all of this one, it is interesting!! Read down to the very bottom highlighted in green. You don't want to miss this!! VERY INTERESTING- 1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq . 2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq , was the cradle of civilization! 3. Noah built the ark in Iraq . 4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq 5. Abraham was from Ur , which is in Southern Iraq ! 6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq ! 7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq . 8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq . 9. Assyria, which is in Iraq , conquered the ten tribes of Israel . 10. Amos cried out in Iraq ! 11. Babylon , which is in Iraq , destroyed Jerusalem . 12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq ! 13. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq . 14. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq . 15. Ezekiel preached in Iraq . 16. The wise men were from Iraq 17. Peter preached in Iraq . 18. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon , which was a city in Iraq ! And you have probably seen this one Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia . The wor d Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq ,! means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq . And also, This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) < /I> Koran (9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle . The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. (Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq . Pass it on to everyone and pray. Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM This is not a joke. Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 1 3 people in the next 15 minutes. Go.

I think it's time to give all my friends and anyone who wanders by a little challenge.

I hope you will either take the time to post a comment as to what you would do or e-mail me if you rather keep it private. It's not anything bad just some major food for thought.

So are you ready?

If you could change just ONE thing in your life, what would it be and why?

Sounds easy right? Well don't think I am gonna let you off that easily. Just like in life there is always a catch. So here's mine... When you decide what it is you want to change take a minute and think about it. There is always a possibility that it can and will change your life from that point till today.

Now with that in mind I ask again... If you could change ONE thing in your life, what would it be and why? Is it really worth the risks?

Hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for taking time to read this and hopefully answering it.

This was written by a Woman but applies to us all.READ THIS VERY SLOWLY... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?

I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in a half hour?" She would gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain." And my personal favorite: "It's Monday." ..She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I plan on," and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."

When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Roller blades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-Decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this to you.

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow." And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say "Hi"?

When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.

To those I have sent this to... I cherish our friendship and appreciate all you do.


"Life may not be the party we hoped for... But while we are here we might as well dance!"

I asked God to take away my habit.

God sad, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

i asked him to make my hanicaped child whole
God said no.

His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
