True success is more than riches or fame or power. It's being who God destined us to be, from the heart. It's honoring God and loved ones. Read more about it and write your thoughts on true success. Let's help and support each other. NOTE: Some of the headers may be hyperlinks.
I found this great poem (by a 9-year old Austin Davis). Click the header to read it--you'll need to scroll about halfway down the page. You'd think Austin had been in the thick of battle. Thanks to Jon for posting it.

The Lord Jesus Christ graciously became my Savior in April 1990, and though I've wandered at times, I'm so thankful for his merciful love that gives me hope for better tomorrows. I'm happily married (June 2004) and have a 14-year-old stepson. My wife works in a day-care (she does it all: teaching, song leader, secretary), and I work for a large telecommunications company doing pretty much whatever is needed. Our son enjoys and excels at video games, basketball, writing, and acting. During a Stephen Curtis Chapman concert, Stephen spoke of his & his wife's adopted children. My wife and I had thought about doing so before, but this really cemented it in our hearts. We have since started the process of adopting a girl from China. It's rather arduous; we want her with us now, but know she'll be worth the wait. I have lived in New Jersey my whole life, save for four years in California and oceans west in the Navy. My wife and I volunteer in various ministries at our church. We co-lead a couples "touch group," and my wife also serves in the nursery and at the altar ministry. I also minister at the youth detention center and operate the camera for some of our services.

Thanks Jeff for adding this to your site.I had to read that twice for I thought I may have gotten this boy's age wrong,9 years old,all I can say is wow!
I couldn't have written it any better than him.
Nor I, Jon. So few males have the depth that this boy has.
Very powerful poem.
Thank you for your kind comments Jeff.
Miladysa,
