Tuesday, November 30, 1999 To have faith to move mountains you must first have the faith to move pebbles!

Sunday, October 31, 1199 You can turn the clocks back but that still won’t take you back in time. Remember, the most important time you have is the time you haven’t spent yet. It is the only time you still have any control, although that control is limited. So, who will win the battle for…
