General Interests
Y O U T H ~ Youth is not a time of life: it is a state of mind; It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; It is a matter of the will; a quality of the imagination, A vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness Of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of Courage over timidity, of the appetite for Adventure over the love of ease. This often Exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of Twenty. Nobody grows old merely by living a Number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up Enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-doubt Bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's Heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike curiosity Of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and mine there is a Wireless station; as long as it receives messages of Beauty, hope, cheer and courage you are young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit Is covered with the snows of cynicism And the ice of pessimism, then you have grown old, Even at twenty. But so long as your aerials are up, To catch the optimism, there is hope You may die young at 100 ! Author Unknown
Music
Rock, Country, Country Pop Rock, Jazz, Soul, Blues, Christian Hip-Hop & Rap, Southern Gospel Rock, Celtic, Classical, Southern Rock, Gospel Alternative, New Age, Instrumental. I love to sing but I'm no pro (yes, I can sing "on key"!). I grew up in Canada attending a small "South-Eastern Brethren" Church called the Church of Christ and they didn't allow musical instruments in church so I learned to sing tenor as well as soprano and bass when needed. I play a little piano as I studied until Grade 6, Royal Conservatory of Music lessons. I love piano music but I wouldn't take my playing to the bank right now!

PLEASE SIGN MY GUESTBOOK!!


HELLO EVERYONE!!

I'm multifaceted and open-minded - to an extent! - and I love LORD JESUS and His Gospel ALL-Ways!!

I've volunteered my time for the needs of missing, abused and exploited children and families, nature and wildlife, Military families, the disabled, the poor "unfortunates", the addicted, the homeless souls and the elderly for more than half of my life.

~~"Child Find Canada", Interim Executive Volunteer Coordinator, "Big Sister", Volunteer "Probation Officer" with the Ministry of Correctional Services, "Wildlife Response, Inc." 911 Dispatcher, Rescuer & Rehab, "EPIIA" - Elvis Presley International Impersonators' Association Area 9 Virginia Beach, VA VIP REP, "NWCA" Navy Wives Clubs of America, Princess Anne Ch 143 @ Oceana Master Jet Base, as Thrift Shop Helper & Parliamentarian, "FANS" Municipal Court Domestic Violence Assistant and Counselor, "Homes For All" Affordable Housing Developer office Administrator~~ {did I forget any?}

I'm basically a humanitarian & drawn to serve in these ways (as the LORD's servant). I LOVE animals, domestic and wild {THEY KNOW IT!}, and have earned my "rehabber" certificate through a Virginia non-profit group which led me to act as a "911" dispatcher, rescue, care for and release injured wild animals (very rewarding!).

I've been a Radio News Correspondence Reporter and worked at my local TV Station (CBC / CBET-TV9) as intern for 3 terms.

I'm a former 90's GULF WAR "Spousal Unit" (AKA "Operation Desert Shield", then "Desert Storm"). I have an AFFINITY for our VETS and families, I LOVE YOU MY MILITARY BROTHERS and SISTERS!!

I'm a short-and-long-trip "travel bug", I love learning about different cultures, the sciences - i.e. SPACE Non-Fiction, nature, art, reading and writing almost anything (especially SCI-FI) and listening to almost all types of music, sports and outdoor activities. Simple TREASURES in life to me are long walks on the beach, just sitting on the shore and gazing at the irridescent colors and the horizon, hikes in the forest, watching and listening to wild birds singing their hearts away!! I'm passionate about history from all eras, namely in the areas of ancient civilizations, religions and science. I CRAVE intelligent discussions on these subjects and more.

Picture me on my own small forested MOUNTAINSIDE, full scapeview, dreamy-like balmy breezes swirling my hair about my face - writing my MEMOIRS!!

{You may CLICK on my "REIKI - Ancient Holistic Health" group on the left part of this page, or search under "Health" Groups on the Home Page to read about and/or JOIN our group}

I want to help in changing our world (how cliche but real) to be a better place and I believe this commences within our hearts that we LOVE even our ENEMIES. God commanded us to do this!

St. Matthew 5:43-45 reads:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, Bless them that curse you, Do Good to them that hate you, and Pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven; for He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth ruin on the just and on the unjust".

It isn't fair for us to judge anyone's choice in religions, that is what GOD and JESUS CHRIST do for us. We hold FREEDOM in our CHOICES of SERVING the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Recently an elderly woman spoke of her late husband. She whispered to me, "He's in the Garden of PEACE now". This made my heart skip and I had to catch my breath! To remember her sweetheart in this way is a DREAM OF LOVE, isn't it?

I'm so very thankful for this Christian-based forum and to my special FRIEND IN CHRIST who invited me to join January 2007.

I PRAY that our LORD's SPIRIT STAY WITHIN OUR HEARTS in ALL-WAYS and FOREVER!!

Love to ALL,
Your Sister in the FAITH

Is your life ablaze with praise for the One who breathed life into you, the One who taught you how to breathe in and out, the One who shared His own breath with you? How much of that breath have you returned to Him in the form of worship and praise?


We are to enthusiastically and with great joy praise God in the temple of our bodies. Indoors and outside we are to praise Him. In worship gatherings and when we are alone, we are to praise Him. We are to praise Him when we feel like it and when we don't. We are to fill His created universe with the praise of Him. We are to worship and praise Him because of His mighty deeds of goodness and the excellence of who He is. We are to praise Him with every musical instrument available. In a symphonic rhapsody we are to praise Him. Everything that breaths is to worship and praise the King. Psalm 150:1-6. Let His praise continually be in your mouth. Let your boasting be only and always of the Lord alone, so that others may hear of His wondrous grace and mercy and be glad. 34:1-3. Praise is always the right thing to do in all circumstances. In order to live in victory, we must learn to praise our God. It is a good thing that we do when we give the sacrifice of praise to the Most High in the morning. And declare His faithfulness at night with the same. As we come before Him with thanksgiving in our hearts, praising and loving Him, who has first loved us, we are welcomed into His presence where we receive the fullness of His grace. It is by the work of His Hands that we are made to triumph in His ways. Psalm 91:1-4. It is by praise that we keep the door to victory open. May the whole world soon be filled the praise of Him.

Love and hugs
Sylvia

Have a marvelous 4th of July! What a great time to praise Him.

Hi my beautiful friend. All is well here! How are things in your life and world? Hope your day is wonderful and that the coming week may be filled with adventure, new and exciting discoveries, and more of the fullness of the Lord active in you then you have ever experienced before. Don't forget to laugh a lot. It is health to your bones. Not to mention the spring it puts in your step, the sparkle it puts in your eye, the song it puts in your heart, and the glow that erupts from your face that leads others to pursue the secret of your contentment and joy.

The Lord earnestly waits for you my beloved one. With an expectant heart, He is looking and longing to be gracious to you. God watched as His beloved Son suffered and died for you, then He justified you by His grace. He is waiting for you to come to Him with all that is in your heart. To come and lay your burdens at His feet. He longs to be gracious to you. It is in His doing in us and through us what He did in and through Jesus that He is exalted. And His kingdom advanced. He waits for you and bids you come. He is a God of justice! And to you who have been justified in Christ, He is waiting, looking and longing to show you His loving kindness and tender mercy. And all who wait on Him, expecting, looking and longing for Him to work in you willing and doing His good pleasure, are Blessed. Happy, fortunate, to be envied are you who wait on Him expecting His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship to be ever present in your life. ! The sole purpose for His blessing you with salvation is that you may live in Him and enjoy Him forever and ever. So release your burdens and heartaches into His Hands. So that He may release the fullness of Christ victory into yours.
Isaiah 30:18; John 14:3,27:11; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Hebrews 12:2; 1 John 3:16; 1 Peter 5:7; Revelation 3:5. (Verses take from New King James Version and Amplified Bible.)

Hi friend!! I am glad we are friends. Friends are like the spring sunshine after the rain. The glow of love in the heart of a friend is a bridge that connects us to the heart of the Master of love. Just as springtime reminds us that in God's time He makes all things new and beautiful, friends remind us that God is love and lives in the heart of those who invite Him in.


The heart of friends is the place where love is made a living reality. Though the storms may come and the winds may blow they are mere instruments by which true love grows.

Have a beautiful week!
