If money doesn’t grow on trees then why do banks have branches?
Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?

You Are Important

Don’t say you’re not important,
It simply isn’t true.
The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.
 
The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be.
 
God wrote the book that is your life,
that’s all you need to know.
Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.
 
God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are.
Your character is important,

Healing Power In Word “Allah”

Vander Hoven, a psychologist from Netherlands, announced his new discovery about the effect of reading the Quran and repeating the word ALLAH both on patients and on normal persons. The Dutch professorconfirms his discovery with studies and research applied on many patients over a period of three years. Some of his patients were non-Muslims, others do not speak Arabic and were trained to pronounce the word “ALLAH” clearly; the result was great, particularly on those who suffer from dejection and tension. Al Watan, a Saudi daily reported that the psychologist was quoted to say that Muslims who can read Arabic and who read the Quran regularly could protect themselves from psychological diseases.

The psychologist explained how each letter in the word “ALLAH” affects healing of psychological diseases. He pointed out in his research that pronouncing the first letter in the word “ALLAH” which is the letter(A), released from the respiratory system, controls breathing. He added that pronouncing the velar consonant (L) in the Arabic way, with the tongue touching slightly the upper part of the jaw producing a short pause and then repeating the same pause
constantly, relaxes the aspiration.

Also, pronouncing the last letter which is the letter (H) makes a contact between the lungs and the heart and in turn this contact controls the heartbeat.

How to Impress A Guy

When it comes to making a lasting impression on a guy, a little strategizing goes a long way.
If you want to be the girl he just can’t get off his mind, simply be sure that you:

Have a life

Mention your plans to explore the back roads with your biking group, your adventures as a volunteer little league coach, your crazy movie-night escapades with the girls last Friday. He’ll see that you’re someone with a lot of spunk and spirit, and he’ll wonder what you’re up to now. Plus, with charisma like yours, he’ll definitely want to join your club.

Call the shots

Invite him to do something outside-the-box with you. Rather than waiting for him to ask you out on the proverbial dinner-and-a-movie date, suggest checking out Tango night at the local dance club, visiting the vintage erotic art exhibit at the museum, or attending an outdoor concert under the stars. He’ll be enchanted by your creativity and sense of adventure, and together you’ll begin building memories he won’t soon forget.

Stir his senses

Wear a subtle and alluring scent. When he hugs you close, he’ll be drawing you in with every breath he takes. When you part, a little hint of you will linger on his collar, invoking the essence of you in his mind all day long.

Raise the temperature

Wear sexy undies. Even if you keep all your clothes on, a pair of lacy boy-cuts under your jeans will make you feel hot, and everyone knows how contagious a little sexual confidence can be. Your signature je-ne-sais-quois will keep him — how you say — distracted — until you meet again.

Feed the Fire

Let him know you think he’s sexy. Brush lightly against his shoulder as you walk by him, tell him you like those pants he’s wearing, give him “the look” as your parting glance. He’ll be hopelessly incapable of dimming that glorious glow he feels knowing a beautiful woman wants him.

Kiss to impress

Become famous in his book for your fabulous kiss. Be present and tender, expressive and receptive, when you kiss him goodnight. With an unforgettable kiss like that, you’ll be guaranteed a starring role in his dreams all night long.

Stay in touch

Sure, playing hard to get may be a time-honored trick of the trade, but imagine how good it makes him feel to know that you’re thinking of him. Shoot him an email or a quick phone call to say hello and let him know he is on your mind. When you put that little lift in his step, he’ll be bopping to your beat all throughout the day.
