TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SPEAKING OUT ...
"First they came for the COMMUNISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT -- because I was NOT A COMMUNIST;
Then they came for the SOCIALISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A SOCIALIST;
Then they came for the TRADE UNIONISTS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A TRADE UNIONIST
Then they came for the JEWS, and
I did not SPEAK OUT - because I was NOT A JEW;
Then they CAME FOR ME - and
there was NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK OUT FOR ME."
~ Pastor Martin Niemoller - A prisoner at the Dachau
Concentration Camp

What Becomes of the BROKEN HEARTED ?
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS HOW TO MEND A BROKEN HEART ...
"I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see TOMORROW,
but I was never told about the SORROW
And how can you mend a BROKEN HEART?
How can you stop the RAIN from falling down?
How can you stop the SUN from SHINING?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this BROKEN MAN?
How can a LOSER ever WIN?
Please help me mend my BROKEN HEART
and let me LIVE AGAIN."
~ Barry and Robin Gibb
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW TRUE HAPPINESS UNTIL
YOU HAVE TRULY LOVED, AND YOU WILL NEVER
UNDERSTAND WHAT PAIN REALLY IS UNTIL YOU
HAVE LOST IT!
