My greatest (Teeee) desire is that we learn WHO WE ARE AS A PEOPLE!!!..That the day will come that we can employee and teach skills. That our character of compassion will grow to understand- WE CAN GET THIS DONE!!!!
None of us are PERFECT!!!..NOR do we know EVERYTHING!!!!...But there is a PRICE TO PAY when you don't have LOVE and COMPASSION IN YOUR HEART!!!!!!..
It takes work to LOVEEEEEE!!..in order to get an UNDERSTANDING!!!! We have to work AT IT!!! AND Forgive. "Why", because the baggage of hatred is DESTROYED and it gives us room to understand the things we could not change at that TIME!!!
We are lost, and we are bitter, and we are in POVERTY!!! Why, because we don't have UNDERSTANDING!!!! To gain knowledge to know it can change, it can get BETTER!!! And that we don't prove to ANYONE, that we are greater when we KILL ONE ANOTHER!!!
2008 is HERE!!!...Turn from your wicked WAYS!!!.. Kill the hatred in your HEART!! And develop an understanding to Help your brother & Sister. For this is the year WE begin to GAIN and not LOSE!!!..
We begin to know who WE ARE, and we have enough knowledge to know we NEED EACH OTHER!!!
I present to you our 2008 Proposal.....
TEEEE!!
