Well is the Lord your shepherd, if so you are in very good company because I can't think of a better friend than Jesus Christ.
I really don't know of anyone who has made a success out
of their life by themselves. There is no such thing as a self made man, a
self made man sound good but simple doesn't really happen.
Somewhere along the line they had the good luck to get a helping hand from another person with a great attitude.
Somewhere along the line they had the good luck to get a helping hand from another person with a great attitude.
The kind of attitude that Jesus Christ preached about to
humankind from the Mount of Olives. The very place where Jesus said the
Lord's Prayer.
What would it feel like to walk across the
same grown as Jesus Christ on the Mount of Olives? The very place where
he preached. We can go there by simply reading the Bible.

8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

My goodness the
history of Jesus Christ is full of that best kind of attitude for a
person to have towards his fellow man. Jesus Christ taught us with his
words, that love itself is an attitude. That the spirit in our hearts has
the answer to the questions we are asking. That the buildup of good
feeling accumulate deep inside us in time can mature to becomes the very
light that guides us through thick and thin. That a good attitude can
even help us to face the fearful death that we are all destined to
cross.

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.-------------
People
are helping each other everywhere that I look. The sick are getting
help from doctors and nurses in all the hospitals all over this world.
The children are also getting help in every school around the world.
People are helping each other right and left with deep kindness by
sharing their wealth with the poor.
I particularly like the work that is going on at the American Salvation Army. They get help directly to the people walking in off the streets. The people in need can get a good meal, and a safe place to sleep until they can get back onto their feet with a job.

Brad Edwards makes his projections for the BCS bowl games.
-------------------------
http://www.shreveporttimes.
BATON ROUGE – Holiday Madness, a less known cousin of March
Madness, kicks off Sunday night at 7:30 on ESPN when the college
football bowl pairings will be announced in the final year of the Bowl
Championship Series system.
A four-team playoff will debut next season with semifinals in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl and the championship game at Cowboys Stadium on Jan. 12, 2015.
BCS No. 3 Auburn defeated No. 5 Missouri 59-42 Saturday evening to advance to either the BCS Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2 in New Orleans or the BCS national championship game on Jan. 6 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., if No. 2 Ohio State lost to No. 10 Michigan State later Saturday night in the Big Ten Championship Game or if No. 20 Duke upset No. 1 Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
Regardless of the above results, LSU is not expected to find out for sure where it will be playing in the postseason until Sunday night.
The Tigers (9-3, 5-3 SEC) are No. 15 in the BCS standings and are ranked No. 14 in both the USA Today coaches’ and Associated Press media polls. Most close to the bowl process feel LSU will be either in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla., on Jan. 1, at noon against a Big Ten team or at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, on Jan. 3, at 6:30 p.m. against a Big 12 team. There is an outside chance that the Tigers could end up in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., on Jan. 1, at 11 a.m. against a Big Ten team.
LSU will play in the Cotton Bowl against 10-2 Oklahoma State, which lost to Oklahoma 33-24 on Saturday afternoon, according to CBSSports.com's Jerry Palm, who made his prediction Saturday night after the LSU game. Oklahoma State was No. 6 in the BCS before the upset loss to No. 17 Oklahoma (10-2).
“We really don’t know right now,” LSU associate athletic director Verge Ausberry, who works with scheduling, said Friday from Atlanta. “A lot of things could happen. We’ve been working the phones trying to do what’s best for LSU.”
Where Auburn (12-1) and Missouri (11-2) end up will weigh heavily on LSU’s travel itinerary. Missouri could go to Orlando, Fla., to play on Jan. 1 in the Capital One Bowl, which has the first choice of SEC teams after BCS bowls. Or Missouri could go to the Outback or Cotton. No. 4 Alabama (11-1) is considered a good bet for the BCS Orange Bowl in Miami on Jan. 3.
Missouri may be a better geographic selection for the Cotton Bowl instead of a Florida bowl. And by SEC rule this year, the SEC Championship Game loser cannot fall farther than the Cotton Bowl. Missouri in the Cotton could mean LSU is in the Outback or the Gator.
No. 8 South Carolina (10-2), a hotter team than LSU after a 31-17 victory over then-No.6 Clemson last week, is interested in the Cotton Bowl as the Gamecocks have never played in it. And perhaps for good reason with Columbia, S.C., nearly 1,000 miles from Arlington, Texas. The Cotton Bowl is about half of that from Columbia, Mo., and less than 400 miles from LSU.
“That would be a trip that would probably be at the top of our list, if we had a choice,” South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said this week. “The Capital One Bowl is an excellent bowl, there’s no question about that. If they send us there, that would be fine also. But I think our team would like to go to the Cotton Bowl, and I think most of our fans would like to go to the Cotton Bowl.”
But teams and coaches tend to not have a lot of pull as in the days of Alabama coach Bear Bryant and non-aligned bowls. The SEC-aligned bowls basically send a Christmas wish list to the SEC office, and commissioner Mike Slive is Santa Claus.
“Spurrier doesn’t get to choose,” said ESPN’s BCS expert Brad Edwards said Friday. “Cap One gets South Carolina if it wants them. Cotton picks after that.”
South Carolina’s fans do not have a vote either. “They have been doing a lot on social media expressing interest,” Cotton Bowl spokesman Charlie Fiss said Friday.
Asked if South Carolina was more in the Cotton Bowl pool than a week ago when LSU appeared very much headed to the Dallas area, Fiss said, “I don’t know that.”
South Carolina is likely not headed to the Outback Bowl as it played there last year as well as in the 2008 season and in the 2000 and 2001 seasons.
Edwards, who correctly predicted Texas A&M over LSU to the Cotton Bowl last year and LSU to the Chick-fil-A Bowl a few days before the official announcement, had LSU going to the Outback Bowl regardless of the SEC title game result.
“Leaning toward Outback for LSU,” Edwards said Friday, basing his educated guess on Auburn beating Missouri. “I’m expecting Cap One to take South Carolina. I think the Outback would rather have LSU than Missouri for geographic reasons (nearly 1,000 miles from Tampa with LSU a little more than 500 miles away), and it would rather have LSU than South Carolina. Outback typically takes an SEC East team, but I think there could be an exception this year because of South Carolina having played in the Outback last year and a few other times in recent years.”
LSU has also not bowled in Tampa since the 1988 season when it lost 23-10 to Syracuse in the Hall of Fame Bowl.
“I was on that team,” said Ausberry, who played linebacker for the SEC champion Tigers of 1988 who finished 8-4 and 6-1. “That was a great trip.”
LSU fans have proven they love trips to Dallas, but they did just play in the Cotton Bowl after the 2010 season and opened both the 2011 and 2013 seasons in that same Cowboys Stadium.
“The Outback would be something different for our fan base. There would be a lot of excitement because it hasn’t happened,” Ausberry said.
“There have been times when we were very interested in LSU, but it ended up in the BCS (2003, 2006, 2007 and 2011) or in the Cap One (2004 and 2009),” Outback Bowl spokesman Mike Schulze said Friday. “I think there is certainly a chance that they might be in our pool, which hasn’t been typically the case. It depends on what happens with the Cap One.”
It also may depend on whether the Outback Bowl goes for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner in Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, even though his Aggies are only ranked No. 24 in the BCS with an 8-4 record after back-to-back losses to LSU and Missouri. Some bowl projections have the Aggies playing in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, but the Outback has tended to pick out of the box. Texas A&M's fan base can be as rabid and travel friendly as LSU's, and the Aggie Nation has not been to Florida for a bowl game since 1978. Manziel also may get closer to a second straight Heisman than some think even though Jameis Winston was cleared of any charges on Thursday.
If Manziel heads to Tampa with or without a second Heisman, the Cotton Bowl would be forced to take Missouri over LSU by SEC rule to protect Missouri from falling past the Cotton Bowl.
LSU could land in the Gator Bowl under the following scenario: Florida State and Ohio State meet in the BCS national championship game. Auburn goes to the BCS Sugar Bowl as the SEC champion. Alabama goes to the BCS Orange Bowl. South Carolina goes to the Capital One Bowl. Texas A&M goes to the Outback Bowl.
Missouri goes to the Cotton Bowl as the SEC champion runner-up. LSU goes to the Gator Bowl.
“I think our fans would like the Gator Bowl, too,” said Ausberry, who was also on the last LSU team to play in that bowl as the Tigers beat South Carolina 30-13 there in the 1987 season. “That was probably the most fun we had. Great city. We’re just going to have to wait and see.”
The only thing Ausberry is almost sure about is that LSU is not going to the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta, where it lost to Clemson last year and where it played three times since 2005. The Tigers have also played in Atlanta for a bowl, a SEC title or a kickoff classic seven times since 2003.
“I would think that would not happen again,” he said. “But things can always change drastically real quick. It’s really out of our hands.”

Where will LSU go bowling?
Cotton or Outback still most likely bowl destinations

A four-team playoff will debut next season with semifinals in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl and the championship game at Cowboys Stadium on Jan. 12, 2015.
BCS No. 3 Auburn defeated No. 5 Missouri 59-42 Saturday evening to advance to either the BCS Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2 in New Orleans or the BCS national championship game on Jan. 6 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., if No. 2 Ohio State lost to No. 10 Michigan State later Saturday night in the Big Ten Championship Game or if No. 20 Duke upset No. 1 Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
Regardless of the above results, LSU is not expected to find out for sure where it will be playing in the postseason until Sunday night.
The Tigers (9-3, 5-3 SEC) are No. 15 in the BCS standings and are ranked No. 14 in both the USA Today coaches’ and Associated Press media polls.

There is an outside chance that the Tigers could end up in the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., on Jan. 1, at 11 a.m. against a Big Ten team.
LSU will play in the Cotton Bowl against 10-2 Oklahoma State, which lost to Oklahoma 33-24 on Saturday afternoon, according to CBSSports.com's Jerry Palm, who made his prediction Saturday night after the LSU game. Oklahoma State was No. 6 in the BCS before the upset loss to No. 17 Oklahoma (10-2).
“We really don’t know right now,” LSU associate athletic director Verge Ausberry, who works with scheduling, said Friday from Atlanta. “A lot of things could happen. We’ve been working the phones trying to do what’s best for LSU.”
Where Auburn (12-1) and Missouri (11-2) end up will weigh heavily on LSU’s travel itinerary. Missouri could go to Orlando, Fla., to play on Jan. 1 in the Capital One Bowl, which has the first choice of SEC teams after BCS bowls. Or Missouri could go to the Outback or Cotton.
