The black man turned around and stood up. He then said: "Listen sir...when I was born I was BLACK, When I grew up I was BLACK, When I'm sick I'm BLACK, When I go in the sun I'm BLACK, When I'm cold I'm BLACK, When I die I'll be BLACK. But you sir, When you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick, you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away. This is a story about God. Read if you believe in him, and read even if you don't. A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely. The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God? 90% of teens today would die if Myspace had a system failure and was completely destroyed...If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this.

I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who can express herself better with words than with actions, and knows the importance of the little things. 93 percent of teens would have an emotianal breakdown if someone called them a freak. If you're part of the 7 percent who would say, "What was your first clue?" Copy and paste this. I'm SKINNY, so I MUST be anorexic. I TAKE (or used to take) (or should have taken) ANTI-DEPRESSANTS, so I MUST be crazy. I'm a WHITE GIRL, so I MUST be a nagging, steal-your-money kind of girlfriend. I’m STRONG so I MUST be stupid. :.:7 Ways to Scare Your Roommates:.: 7) Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing so, look at your roommate and mutter, "Soon, soon..." 6) Collect hundreds of pens and pile them on one side of the room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at the pencil. 5) Tell your roommate, "I've got an important message for you." Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't remember what the message was. Later on, say, "Oh, yeah, I remember!" Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several weeks. 4) While your roommate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling. When your roommate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head, and moan. 3) Make a sandwich. Don't eat it, leave it on the floor. Ignore the sandwich. Wait until your roommate gets rid of it, and then say, "Hey, where the heck is my sandwich?" Complain loudly that you are hungry. 2) Every time your roommate walks in yell, "Hooray! You're back!" as loud as you can and dance around the room for five minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch and saying, "Shouldn't you be going somewhere?" 1) Talk back to your Rice Krispies. All of a sudden, act offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to clean it up, explaining, "No, I want to watch them suffer." Calling me GAY doesn't make you STRAIGHT. Calling me a SLUT doesn't make you a VIRGIN. Calling me MEAN doesn't make you NICE. Calling me STUPID doesn't make you a GENIUS. Calling me UGLY doesn't make you BEAUTIFUL. What's the point of bullying, anyway? To all you bullies out there: I know your secret: You're insecure. The girl you just called fat? She is over-dosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on, hoping people will like her. That boy you just tripped? He's abused enough at home. The man with the ugly scars? He fought for his and YOUR country. That kid you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. The girl you just called a freak? She committed suicide five minutes ago because she felt worthless. Copy and paste this on your profile. Bullying has to stop. 'Don't bother me, I'm planning my revenge against vegetables' 'Don't make me send my turtle on you! He has a mean throttle and punching power.' 'A word to the wise isn't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need the advice' 'Between two evils, I always pick the third option. If there is not such option, I make my own' 'When life gives you lemons, ... 1) Make apple juice out of the lemons and leave the world wondering how 'Don't try to fit in. It just makes the really bland and unoriginal that much more likely to beat you up. Instead, act crazy and eccentric. Then, when you prosper later in life, you can look back and be glad you weren't one of those idiots who chose to be like everyone else and go to that one trip with the bomb blasting in the floor under the rooms that the unoriginals were staying at.' 'I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.' 'The only mystery in life is why the kamikaze pilots wore helmets and my brain' 'Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back' 'God gave us our relatives; thank God we can choose our friends' 'God gave us life. We take others.' Once I dive into these pages, I may not come out for ages, Books have powers over me, Inside a book I am not free, I am a prisoner in a land, Of print and paper in my hand, But do not worry, do not fear, I am a happy captive here. I'm that girl The one that likes books more than boys. The one who pretends not to be sad, just to make others happy. The one who always wonders what she did wrong. The one who writes to escape. The one who just wants to help. The one that really wants to make a difference. The one that sticks to her values. The one that refuses to believe that this is it. The one that will do anything to make a better tomorrow. The one who won't give in. The one who won't give up. |
