I know that this might have taking a long time for someone to share this information but I have to say Frank McKinney is one of a king. I am a Member of End time Sabbath Worship Center where we invited Frank to come, so we can acknowledge what he has done for our country Haiti. I have to tell you, if you were there, you would see the smile and tears on everybody faces. He reminded us, how we were privilege to live in the us. I know that at time its not easy but all thing are possible with faith and persistence I thank him for coming because it let me know that if we put our hands together we can make a H-U-G-E difference in someone life. Please if you have not done it so far please donate to the caring house project you will see how fulfilling it is and how great it feels to help someone. I might not be able to fly there or even give a lot but your and mind and others together add up a lot again thank you Frank for coming we love you and feel free to come again. You are truly a breath of air and you know what That lets us know? that God makes no mistakes. As you all know Haiti was hit very bad with the previous hurricanes and we are putting hands together to rebuilt the broken hearth, see that I did not say the broken village! You and I can live in a one bedroom house if there is happiness do you suffer as much? those people lost there love ones and homes but most of all they lost hope through Frank and he‘s projects we can be of helping hands not only for Haiti but anywhere he touch, He‘s like our channel to them. He‘s coming, gave us hope that we were not alone and that others are thinking of us so please remember your purpose for we all have one. Thanks to all and Frank may you be Bless.

I have been the primary care-giver for my Mom until her death last month.
On the day her remains were to be flown home for burial I sent an e-mail to my sister, Mary, telling her Mom was flying home today and to call the funeral home and let me know when she was home safe.
On the way home from work, realizing Mary had not yet called; I made up my mind to let it go and remember Mom was in heaven and these were her earthly remains and let the funeral homes deal with it and stop worrying.
On the night before such a trip, you can imagine the usual racing around. I stopped at Publix, threw in wash, did a couple dishes and in the midst of all this suddenly was drawn to stop and pick up my e-mails.
The first one I opened was from Mary - It read- the funeral home said Mom would arrive in NY at 6:10pm and be given an escort to her hometown. I looked up at the clock and it was exactly 6:10pm.
I burst into tears knowing Mom was telling me, in her own way, she was home safe - safe in heaven.
I have a feeling with Mom as my new angel sometimes The Tap may feel more like The Hammer.

Frank‘s recent Haiti "Tap Moment" - a degree in paradoxicology

Dear Tour of Extremes Guest,
I must begin by thanking you for creating such a memorable experience at our Frank McKinney‘s Tour of Extremes June 20-22, 2008.
Allowing some time to pass before reflecting on such an impacting event is wise, as certain lessons and memories are only triggered after the passage of time, often oozing over a lifetime.
What do you mean, Frank, by "paradoxicology?"
I have learned that I feel most alive when experiencing extremes for the first time. As life passes, we begin to lament, "ahh, so few firsts left in life." Well, our recent trip to Haiti was one for me, and only because you made it that way.
Seeing the impact through your eyes I will never forget. I value the emotions we shared, how open you were with those you came in contact with. The most important interaction I witnessed was the impact that you are having on those most desperately poor and homeless. Yes, you are saving lives. That should warm your soul!
It is quite difficult to quantify the most meaningful moment from our visit to Haiti. From the initial drive from the airport, to our warm first greeting through a melodious song and meal together, to feeding those with more that just nourishment for their bodies, to tears at the playing of the Star Spangled Banner surrounded by children, to the sensory overload while touring Cite Soleil, to the joy of watching the elderly dance (especially the oldest gent), to the laying of hands on our heads by the orphans and the receipt of a blessing from those who have more than we may ever have, to our tour of hope through our first Haiti village, to the hotel and wonderful dinner together, not to mention all those birthday cakes. Even the drive to the airport in Port au Prince to return home, completely spent, allowed for one last quiet reflection.
Have you noticed that nearly every reflection that you have read from fellow Tour of Extremes travelers is void of a reference to the "lifestyles of the rich and famous" elements that seemed so important and cool when you decided to donate to participate in the event? The private tour of Acqua Liana, the world‘s largest and most opulent certified green home that is only months from completion. Dinner at my own oceanfront house, or individual time spent in my oceanfront treehouse office. Why? Because you now have a better understanding of life‘s priorities. You are now more comfortable with your own mission. You have experienced one of life‘s great "Tap Moments."
That is why you now have earned your "PHD" in a way most will never attain, much less comprehend. You understand that it is unique and vital to live the paradox found in life, not just speak of it.
As you go back to making your globe spin, recall that your Tour of Extremes‘ experiences and memories will be nothing more than enlightening good (or bad) dreams unless you act upon them. Taking action on life‘s Tap Moments is like wielding a giant can of WD-40 before the gates of Heaven. How much you spray and how effective that spray is depends on those times in your life you act by applying the timeless biblical wisdom found in Luke: To Whom Much is Entrusted, Much Will be Expected.
Now, go and apply your newly conferred degree!
Thanks,
|
