It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake

I guess this is true … if a friend hurts us, we feel so bad, like we were betrayed, or something. The pain is deeper, since you wouldn’t expect a friend to do that; but if an enemy does the same thing to you, you wouldn’t feel as hurt since you were expecting your enemy to do just that!

Life is kind of complicated this way.

Just a personal opinion.

My sister has a friend who was diagnosed as having Painkiller addiction while they were in college. Initially, her friend started as a freshman at the university so full of hope and anticipation. But something began to change during their sophomore years, though. My sister wasn’t sure, because they had different subjects by then. After another year, though, she didn’t see her friend anymore; last she heard was that her friend didn’t enroll because of her addiction.

I think that’s a really sad story, and I hope that my sister’s friend found a good drug treatment center that really knows how to treat people with that type of addiction.

I found this drug treatment site through the internet, Drug Rehab Sunset Malibu, that offers the most caring and effective drug addiction treatment, as well as treatment for alcohol addiction and depression.
The exclusive center is located in Malibu with a 180 degree whitewater ocean views located just outside of Los Angeles, California. Their treatment is individualized, meaning they approach the addiction differently from one patient to another; they specifically treat each person depending on his history and specific needs. Their program is then tailored to the needs of each individual resident.

Think that you might know a person who needs their services? Then call 1-800-332-9202 right now and find out how Drug Rehab Sunset Malibu can help your friend get back to being normal again.

I believe in living today. Not in yesterday, nor in tomorrow.

This is indeed sound advice … I think it’s a good thing if you have a bit of something stashed for tomorrow, though. Doesn’t have to be much, but just a bit of something …

Of course, that “bit of something” depends on you, lol.

I’m not overly familiar with drug treatment centers, but I’ve had some friends who swear that not all of the centers are good. I guess I have to agree with that, since I think it largely depends on the person who is being treated. Different persons get into these not-so-good habits that necessitates that they be brought to drug treatment centers, but sometimes they get back to their old habits. I guess that means that the last drug treatment facility wasn’t good for them.

That’s why it’s important that we research first about the facility before committing a friend (or a loved one), there. I just hope, though, that the friend is sincere in his/her decision to be treated. That is very important, and I think that that’s where treatment actually starts: The decision to get help/treatment for oneself.

Do you have a friend that needs to be taken to a drug rehab? Or one that just happened to graduate from there? I had a classmate in high school once who looked like he wasn’t having any problems; that’s why I was so shocked when I learned that his family brought him to a drug rehab facility one summer.

We really don’t know if a person gets addicted to drugs, unless we’re with them all the time, don’t we? Last I heard about my high school classmate was that he’s now clean; and I hope he stays that way for good. For him and his family’s sake…

I really love this song …
It has been ages (i think) since I’ve listened to one of his songs. I know I have a cd of him somewhere … was too lazy to find through the haystack, so decided to find the song over at YouTube.

I was surprised when I visited the site … Oprah’s got a YouTube channel now!
gee, she’s everywhere!

A friend asked me a while back if I know of any affordable Online Storage site that is perfect for his small business. I wasn’t familiar with IBackup.com yet when he asked, so I wasn’t able to suggest any sites for him. But now that I’ve found IBackup.com, I know what to answer if ever another friend asks.

IBackup.com is the perfect choice if you want a reliable site for your online storage needs, as well as for back-up needs. Their desktop application provides easy drag and drop features while working with your data online.

So if you want superior protection for your data as well as a good and reliable-performing online storage site, then you’ll never lose when you choose IBackup.com.

Interested? Then check out their site and see for yourself what wonders they can do for you and your budding company.

You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can’t keep that which belongs to someone else.
Edgar Cayce

Kind of like that song about losing someone when in fact that someone wasn’t even yours to lose, in the first place. Or about setting somebody free and when it comes back it’s meant to be. Or how about … i know. lol. You get the idea.

I just like the quote. Simple, but oh-so-true!

Can you imagine a really big cross that you can see even if you are very far away? Something like a beacon? Well, that is exactly what Bishop Riah Abu Al-Asal, the chairman of the Foundation of Nazareth, together with other local leaders and clergymen, are planning to do.

They have set up a Nazareth Cross Project where they aim to have constructed the world’s biggest and impressive cross. This will not be just any huge cross, since there will also be a church inside, as well as a world class educational and leisure center. There will also be a way from the cross to other historic Christian Churches, as well as the city’s central bazaars, courtesy of the monorail transport system.

A very ambitious plan, indeed, but one that is possible. You can help build the cross by buying rights for personal engravings that are made on 5 x 2 cm individual glass tiles which will adorn both the inside and outside parts of the cross. After your purchase, a certificate with your personal engraving numbers will be sent to you.

Nazareth history has really been interesting through the years, and seeing something like this in Nazareth Jerusalem would really be something that’s wonderful.
