Steve Irwin the Wildlife Warrior


I just had to include a bit about one of the greatest men I have ever seen. And a real national treasure to his country Australia. He was so much more than just a great showman, his love of the animals he worked with came blazing through in everything that you saw him do. He was a great blessing to our world, and I only wish that I could have been so fortunate as to have had him refer to me personally as mate. My families and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, and I thought it appropriate to include links to some very touching scenes of Steve, please think of him as you view them.
God bless you Terri, Bindi, Robert and his parents Big Bob, and lynn

IT'S ALL ABOUT AWARENESS

Have you ever purchased a car, and then been amazed how many people are driving that same car? That is how your awareness works. Your luck is what you make of it. How many people do you know who won’t bother to stop and pick up a penny? On the other side, how many people grab that penny, announcing lucky penny! Yet another way was pointed out to me once. Say it takes you 2 seconds to stop and pick up a penny, if you do the math that calculates out to $18.00 an hour. And if that doesn’t work for you check out this web site http://coins.about.com/od/uscoins/tp/errorvarieties.htm here you find that a penny could be worth $35,000 or more. You may never look at loose change the same way ever again, or you may be looking a whole lot closer. What I am trying to get at is, “Look for the good luck in whatever comes to you.” I had the opportunity to watch Doctor Wayne Dyer http://www.drwaynedyer.com/ on PBS the other night, and I remember the part where he was talking about the Bible, and when God created the earth.” And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” Everything made by God is very good. So everything is good, then it must only be our awareness that makes anything seem that it is bad. If we change our awareness, then we become aware of everything being very good.
I’ll close the way my very favorite comedian (Red Skelton) RedSkelton.com good night and May god bless
