No Confusion

(Written By Kenny Mitchell)

This life has a million paths,
and many lead us wrong----
It's Jesus and His master plan
that helps us all along......

Don't wait until your so mixed up-
You can't see the light----
He offers no confusion--
God's way is always right!!!!

The devil likes to build us up--
and let us topple down....
But Jesus is our cushion--
He won't let us hit the ground....

Walking around in circles
is not the way our Father leads....
He offers no confusion--
and can take care of all our needs.....

If you are uncertian,
and your answers seem unclear----
Then call upon the Lord,
and let Him enter near.....

If you humble to his voice,
He will gladly show the way..
He offers no confusion--
And He is there day after day.....


(LET US ALL CONTINUE ...
TO PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER)-----

your friend,
Kenny

Once upon a time there was a wise man

.-·´¨¯¨`·-.,¸__¸,.-·´¨¯¨`·-.,¸_ who used to go to the ocean to do his writing.

He had a habit of walking on the beach

One day he was walking along the shore.

_¸,.-·´¨¯¨`·-.,¸__¸,.-·´¨¯¨`·-.,¸__¸,.-·´¨¯¨`·-
he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.

Results:

OVER 60 POINTS:
Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You are seen as vain, self-centered and extremely dominant. Others may admire you and wish they could be more like you, but they don't always trust you and hesitate to become too deeply involved with you.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, quick to make decisions (though not always the right ones). They see you as a bold and venturesome; someone who will try anything - well almost anything - once; someone who takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is constantly the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to your head. They see you also as kind, considerate and understanding; someone who will cheer them up and help them out.

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but, equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken.
FROM 21 TO 30 POINTS:
Your friends see you as painstaking, perhaps a little fussy at times. They see you as very, very cautious and extremely careful; a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every side and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction on your part is caused partly by your careful nature and partly by laziness.

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive, someone needs to be looked after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions.
