pure grace...

Pure Grace states:

"philosophy: one of the best tools for longevity and good health is not just taking a walk outdoors but taking a walk while holding the hand of God. when we walk in gratitude for each and every moment, we empower ourselves by empowering our spirits. when we breath in nature through our eyes, ears, and lips, we become certain that not only are our souls eternal, but that God knows how to manage our lives, troubles, our worries and our days better than we do. so today and everyday "let go and let God."

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

(piano solo)

Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Vote for Red Cross with Target’s Bullseye Gives Campaign

If you’ve ever wanted to play the philanthropist, now is your chance!

From now through May 25, Target is giving you the power to decide where a $3 million charitable donation will go. The American Red Cross is one of ten non-profit organizations competing for a portion of the multi-million dollar gift.

Target’s Bullseye Gives campaign is running through Facebook, where visitors can vote once a day, every day, for the charity of their choice.

At the end of the contest, the percentage of votes each organization tallies will represent their portion of the $3 million. Final results will be announced May 26.

Any donation that the Red Cross receives from Bullseye Gives will go toward supporting the humanitarian work of the Red Cross: sheltering, feeding and counseling victims of disasters; providing nearly half of the nation's blood supply; teaching lifesaving skills; and supporting military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its humanitarian mission.

Vote for the Red Cross and spread the word to your friends and family!
