My Genetics Class Fall 2006

This the first class I took in my first University years in the US and just look at the diversity in the class. I really enjoyed a new atmosphere and a new way of doing things and learned a lot in the process. Of course I got an A.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED!!!

CHECK-OUT THE WITNESSES AND BEST GUYS

At Death Valley, On my girl's 6 Months Birthday

We watched the North Carolina-Clemson game which Clemson won marginally. My wife's first game and my girl's first huge crowd game on her 6 moths birthday. Thanks to Lee & Stacey (my frinds from LSM) for generously providing the tickets. The date was 11 November 2006.

After study Mozart's Sonata Theme, it's time to try it out and hear how it sounds, What more can you ask for in a child?

Funny

A man checked into a hotel in Pretoria. There was a computer in his room. He decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally typed the wrong e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail. Meanwhile, somewhere in Cape Town a widow had just arrived home from her husband's funeral. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

TO: MY LOVING WIFE

SUBJECT: I'VE ARRIVED
DATE: JUNE 3, 2005

Received from Ntsakane Matsebatlela

You can quote me

"Where there is no love, there are many questions

Where there is true love, there are many answers

God loved us first, to show us how"

Inspirational Stories

1. "What is Success?"
Ever played monopoly? Funny how good it feels to be the winner, owning the best streets and having a few hotels while the cash is flowing, but at the end of the game, the winner has to put all the money, hotels and houses back into the box.

The same applies in life, when you die; everything has to go back into the box. That brings up the question of "what is success?" To have all the money in the world? To be a director of a company? To drive the most expensive car? NO, it can't be, because at the end, everything has to go back into the box....and when you get at the gate these things will not be your ticket to enter the Kingdom. However, the good you have done remains on this world. What good have you done unto others up to now?

2. GOD SAID NO!

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.

Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.

I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.

You must grow on your own! ,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ah, finally you have the idea.
