Here I am with shattered dreams
Here I am with unfulfilled plans
All I depended on stripped away
All my dreams slipping away like sand
I clung to temporal things and times
changed
I thought I knew the script and life turned
the page
Broken and discarded my life appears
through
All I have left is my trust in You.
Yahweh you are my strength in this
weakness
You are the professor in these lessons
of meekness
Even when my world is being torn apart
You still want to be the only possessor
of my heart

Read This And Share It Please.
A Must Read for All.....
Who have children or grandchildren
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ ALL OF THIS &
HAVE YOUR CHILDREN READ IT TOO!
After tossing her books on the sofa, she decided to
grab a snack and get on-line . She logged on under
her screen name By Angel 213. She checked her
Buddy List and saw GoTo123 was on.
She sent him an instant message:
By Angel 213:
Hi. I'm glad you are on! I thought someone was
following me home today. It was really weird!
GoTo123:
LOL You watch too much TV. Why would someone
be following you? Don't you live in a safe
neighborhood?
By Angel 213:
Of course I do. LOL I guess it was my imagination
cuz' I didn't see anybody when I looked out.
GoTo123:
Unless you gave your name out on-line.
You haven't done that have you?
By Angel 213:
Of course not. I'm not stupid you know.
GoTo123:
Did you have a softball game after school today?
By Angel 213:
Yes and we won!!
GoTo123:
That's great! Who did you play?
By Angel 213:
We played the Hornets. LOL. Their uniforms
are so gross! They look like bees. LOL
GoTo123:
What is your team called?
By Angel 213:
We are the Canton Cats. We have tiger paws
on our uniforms. They are really cool.
GoTo123:
Did you pitch?
By Angel 213:
No I play second base. I got to go. My homework has
to be done before my parents get home. I don't want
them mad at me. Bye!
GoTo123:
Catch you later. Bye
Meanwhile...GoTo123 went to the member menu
and began to search for her profile. When it came up,
he highlighted it and printed it out. He took out a pen
and began to write down what he knew about Angel
so far.
Her name: Shannon
Birthday: Jan. 3, 1985
Age: 13
State where she lived: North Carolina
Hobbies: softball, chorus, skating & going to the mall.
Besides this information, he knew she lived in Canton
because she had just told him. He knew she stayed by
herself until 6:30 p.m. every afternoon until her parents
came home from work. He knew she played softball on
Thursday afternoons on the school team, and the team
was named the Canton Cats.
Her favorite number 7 was printed on her jersey.
He knew she was in the eighth grade at the Canton
Jr. High School . She had told him all this in the
conversations they had on- line. He had enough
information to find her now.
Shannon didn't tell her parents about the incident on
the way home from the ballpark that day. She didn't
want them to make a scene & stop her from walking
home from the softball games. Parents were always
overreacting & hers were the worst. It made her wish
she was not an only child. Maybe if she had brothers
& sisters, her parents wouldn't be so overprotective.
By Thursday, Shannon had forgotten about the footsteps
following her. Her game was in full swing when suddenly
she felt someone staring at her. It was then that the memory
came back. She glanced up from her second base position
to see a man watching her closely.
He was leaning against the fence behind first base & he smiled
when she looked at him. He didn't look scary and she quickly
dismissed the sudden fear she had felt.
After the game, he sat on a bleacher while she talked to the
coach. She noticed his smile once again as she walked past
him. He nodded & she smiled back. He noticed her name on
the back of her shirt. He knew he had found her.
Quietly, he walked a safe distance behind her. It was only a
few blocks to Shannon 's home, & once he saw where she lived
he quickly returned to the park to get his car .
Now he had to wait. He decided to get a bite to eat until
the time came to go to Shannon 's house. He drove to a
fast food restaurant and sat there until time to make his move.
Shannon was in her room later that evening when she
heard voices in the living room.
"Shannon, come here," her father called. He sounded upset
& she couldn't imagine why. She went into the room to see !
the man from the ballpark sitting on the sofa.
"Sit down," her father began, "this man has just
told us a most interesting story about you."
Shannon sat back. How could he tell her parents anything?
She had never seen him before today!
"Do you know who I am, Shannon ?" the man asked.
"No," Shannon answered.
"I am a police officer and your online friend,
GoTo123."
Shannon was stunned. "That's impossible! GoTo123
is a kid my age! He's 14. And he lives in Michigan !"
The man smiled. "I know I told you all that, but it wasn't true.
You see, Shannon , there are people on-line who pretend to be
kids; I was one of them. But while others do it to injure kids &
hurt them, I belong to a group of parents who do it to protect
kids from predators. I came here to find you to teach you how
dangerous it is to talk to people on-line. You told me enough
about yourself to make it easy for me to find you. You named
the school you went to, the name of your ball team and the
position you played. The number and name on your jersey just
made finding you a breeze."
Shannon was stunned. "You mean
you don't live in Michigan ?"
He laughed. "No, I live in Raleigh . It made you
feel safe to think I was so far away, didn't it?"
She nodded.
"I had a friend whose daughter was like you. Only she wasn't
as lucky. The guy found her & murdered her while she was
home alone. Kids are taught not to tell anyone when they are
alone, yet they do it all the time on-line. The wrong people trick
you into giving out information a little here and there on-line.
Before you know it, you have told them enough for them to find
you without even realizing you have done it. I hope you've
learned a lesson from this and won't do it again. Tell others about
this so they will be safe too?"
"It's a promise!"
That night Shannon and her Dad and Mom all knelt down
together and thanked God for protecting Shannon from
what could have been a tragic situation.
*****NOW*****
Please send this to as many people as you
can to teach them not to give any
information about themselves
This world we live in today is too
dangerous to even give out
your age, let alone
anything else.
EVEN FORWARD THIS TO PEOPLE WITHOUT
KIDS SO THEY CAN SEND IT TO FRIENDS
THAT DO HAVE CHILDREN OR
GRANDCHILDREN.
Who have children or grandchildren
EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ ALL OF THIS &
HAVE YOUR CHILDREN READ IT TOO!

Time to kill the rumors!!!
Rumor 1:
Shamik has a girlfriend in Ohio
Response: if you have a girlfriend and only go to see her once or twice a year or she never visits you at all the relationship doesn't exist. So you do the math.
Rumor 2: Shamik is working on a rap album
Response: Yep.
Rumor 3: Shamik is a player.
Response: Ask any "friend" or reliable source and you will find I'm just a busy workaholic. I don't have time for a relationship that is not serious.
Rumor 4: Shamik is not a virgin.
Response: I never kissed a girl on the lips. What do you think? (I am being extremely sarcastic in this blog, but yes I am still one.)
Rumor 5: Shamik uses Jack Bristow from "Alias" as an alias.
Response: True I "poker face" all you heads who try to manipulate, sabotage and play games with me. Remember Jack gets the job done even to his own hurt. All he cares about is what's best for Sydney.
Rumor 6: Shamik is an introvert.
Response : If that's true why does it seem like I get to know almost everybody everywhere I go. (Usually the ones I don't get to know are avoiding me anyway.)I know this you only talk to those who converse with you. Why try to make a fan of a non-fan and waste time when you can build with heads that are already feeling you.
Rumor 7: Shamik is dependent on prestige and position to make something of his life.
Response : HA HA HA. I'm a native New Yorker and we don't give a crap about what you think. It's about principle with me. I will lose everything and not care just to prove a point, not be manipulated or just because you ticked me off. There is nothing I can't walk away from and that takes the power out of everybody else's hands.
Final Words
Truthfully I have always believed that 80% of my relationships were established because of my ability and I hate that. (I could be wrong.) Why can't people just get to know each other for who they are. No we have to change everybody into us. The only image I want is God's . If I copy you it's just a copy of a copy.
One.
