Katherine Harris for US Senate
Representative Harris commented “this confidential letter was old news and Chairman Carole Jean Jordan has stated repeatedly this letter is not applicable today; further, Chairman Jordan said that she never expressed concerns about my campaign but rather the race overall against the incumbent. With a primary in process, the state chairman, the state committeeman and state committeewoman cannot endorse a candidate but all have stated their personal support for me.”
The Harris campaign continues to move forward while Representative Harris fights to preserve the sanctity of marriage and traditional values, to lower taxes, to help small businesses acquire lower costing healthcare and to ensure that illegal immigrants are not granted amnesty. Bill Nelson has voted against each of these ideals.
“It is high time for dirty politics and unethical leaks to be set aside so that the issues that impact people’s daily lives can be addressed,” continued Congresswoman Harris."

Be sure to do what you should, for then you will enjoy the personal satisfaction of having done your work well, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.-Galatians 6:4-5 (NLT)
Imagine if I went to the pulpit on a Sunday morning and said, Today's message is going to be a little bit different. You see, people kept interrupting me on my normal study day and so I had to bump it over to Saturday. But because my son had a baseball game that morning, which went into extra innings, I couldn't focus on the Word until late in the afternoon. And then, when I got to my office, I happened to turn on the T.V. and I saw that they were running a documentary on a band that I used to be involved with. Before I knew it, the time had slipped away. So I hope you don't mind, but today we're going to have a mini-message.
How irresponsible! And yet, this analogy contains three things that I've found we frequently do when our character is lacking in the area of responsibility: we'll find fault with others (people kept interrupting me), we'll cast blame (my son had a baseball game), and we'll make excuses (it was a band that I used to be involved with). But a responsible heart doesn't hide behind these rationalizations. It doesn't find fault in others, cast blame, or make excuses but, instead, owns up to its responsibilities. Christians with this kind of character recognize that they are responsible for the choices they make in life. They don't point to someone else or the circumstances they were born into.
In an age where 'passing the buck' has almost become an art-form, the family of God needs to do a better job of owning up and being responsible for its own conduct. When the world sees us do this, it will have more respect for and be more receptive to what we have to say.
DIG - What are three traits of an irresponsible heart?
DISCOVER - How do you respond when you do something wrong?
DISPLAY - Keep a running record of your mistakes and how you react after you make them."

At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
You mean the world to someone.
If not for you, someone may not be living.
You are special and unique.
Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
