Powerful Beyond Measure
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us....You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us."

Thanks for all the Mess
Some say that we have a generation of selfish, pampered kids who've been chauffeured around to soccer leagues since they were 6. Are the parents to blame? Read an open letter to baby boomers written by a 20-year-old. Gives you a lot to think about. Here's a snipet. Read the full text in the link above.
Dear Baby Boomers:
Thanks a lot for preparing to bankrupt our nation by collecting massive pensions and benefits that you never paid for. We are paying for them, but we will never collect our money because the system will be broken long before then.
Thanks a lot for telling us that kids are a burden. You only had a few because they’d mess up your plans. We don’t know who will look after you in your old age but we don’t really care, because we think that you are a burden too.

Texting While Driving
Every driver should see this, especially teenagers. It is very graphic and is recommended for 18 and older but if they wait until 18 to see it, they may not reach 18. PARENTS: Watch this by yourself first then WITH your kids. Explain to them that if they HAVE TO phone or text, pull over and stop in a safe location first, then use the phone.
