WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE SANDS OF TIME.

Image
Have you ever imagined being remembered 2000 years later even after you are long gone? There are people that walked this earth a long time ago and their names are still as fresh as it was in the hearts and minds of men. They are remembered for their inventions, ideas, discoveries and brilliant works. Talk of men like our Lord Jesus Christ, Shakespeare, Socrates, Charles and bd and Mary Lamb, Handel, Albert Einstein, Picasso, etc. They were all humans like you and i, who believed there was something  they could bless humanity with. They didn't walk on the sands of earth without leaving a trail.... They bless the world in their chosen  field -  Art, Science, literature, Technology, Music, Drama, etc. Truth is everyone has that special quality needed to leave a remarkable impact in the world.

For years, novelist Richard Paul Evans and his wife Keri  struggled with their marriage . Then, one day, they learned to ask each other a simple question: “How can I make your day better?” The question, which Evans wrote about in a viral  blog post , saved their marriage. The Salt Lake City, Utah couple  said their vows  when they were 21 years old. They had unreal expectations about love, says Evans.
