Ok there hasn't been many updates that I have posted that has not had something to do with a girl...Well in this one I would like to just tell about hope...Hope really doesn't exhist unless you believe in it...What you believe will be the major factor in weather or not something is or isn't done...God provides hope but we must take it if we are to succeed...So what am I trying to say...Well I think Theodore Roosevelt said it best when he said "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
This speech basicly concludes that if you don't try it will be worse than if you had lost....Really I see now that I in life must strive to be the man God would have me to be and step out into the uncharted territory...I will no longer sit by and watch as my life passes me by...I must begin!
