Captured Glimpses of Our Beautiful World

Don't get upset when life disappoints you... Trust GOD's plan. You may not see it now but God is leading you down a better path. What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge,  and not knowledge in pursuit of the child. ~ George Bernard Shaw I cannot teach anybody anything,  I can only make them think. ~ Socrates Know that I AM with you; I will protect you wherever you go. ~ Genesis 28:15 GOD is with you in every thing you do. ~ Genesis 21:22 ~

The Jungle Book was one of those cartoon movies that I enjoyed watching when I was a kid.  One song on its soundtrack that was embedded in my mind was "The Bare Necessities."   As I was growing up, I've noticed all these changes in our world.  This so-called modernization makes it difficult for people nowadays to enjoy living a simple life.   so don't spend your time lookin' around For something you want that can't be found When you find out you can live without it And go along not thinkin' about it I'll tell you something true...

Oh it would have been more fun if we invited kids to join our par...
