    Live LIFE With A PASSION Yasiin!
     
       Violinist Joshua Bell

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EMOTIONS ...

    "The question is figuring out the EMOTIONS

    of the COMPOSER, where he's COMING FROM,

    and then TAPPING INTO IT the same way an actor

    would in approaching a role."

     ~ Joshua Bell

    MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.  IT ALLOWS

    US TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME EMOTIONS.  PEOPLE

    EVERYWHERE ARE THE SAME IN HEART AND SPIRIT!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT AGE ...

    "AGE is a case of MIND over MATTER.

    If YOU DON'T MIND ~

    It DON'T MATTER."

     ~ Leroy "Satchel" Paige

    Satchel Paige was a baseball player whose pitching made him a legend in his own lifetime.  He was elected to the BASEBALL HALL OF FAME in 1971, the first player to be inducted from the Negro leagues.

    He was the OLDEST ROOKIE to ever play Major League Baseball, and the first black pitcher, at the age of 42.  He played with the St. Louis Browns until the age of 47, and was signed to a contract with the Kansas City Athletics at the age of 59.  Satchel pitched his last game in organized baseball at the age of 60.

    WE DON'T STOP PLAYING BECAUSE WE GROW OLD.

    WE GROW OLD BECAUSE WE STOP PLAYING!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Hi Yasiin!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT COMMITTEES ...

                                      "COMMITTEE ~               

    a GROUP OF PEOPLE who individually CAN DO NOTHING

    but AS A GROUP decide that NOTHING CAN BE DONE."
     
     ~  Fred Allen

    A COMMITTEE CAN MAKE A DECISION THAT IS

    DUMBER THAN ANY OF ITS MEMBERS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    We're encouraging folks to read their Bible. The answers that it gives to important questions often surprise people. For example, consider what Ecclesiastes 4:1 has to say about injustice.
