MSN had some inauguration quotes this morning, here are a few of them:

THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1905

“We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid.”

JOHN F. KENNEDY, 1961

“My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”

LYNDON B. JOHNSON, 1965

“Justice requires us to remember that when any citizen denies his fellow, saying, ‘His color is not mine,’ or ‘His beliefs are strange and different,’ in that moment he betrays America, though his forebears created this nation.”
 
I received this in a email this morning and thought I would share it here...

When I was younger, some people were convinced that if you played rock albums backwards and they were subliminally trying to corrupt the youth!" Nowadays, people reserve their paranoia for other things just as silly, but at least we've gotten better at the whole backwards message thing. Below is a seemingly straight forward, relatively depressing poem about many people's perspective on life. It reads:

Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
And it's not true that
It's all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one's surroundings are good
It's not true that good exists
I'm sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day.

Ever feel like that? Now read from bottom to top.
Truth and goodness is revealed by the direction you see things; your point of view. Be sure when you look at your life, you see it from God's perspective. It just might change our attitudes.
