""We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."-E.M. Forester So, what do you want to be when you grow up? It's a question that takes many people years and years of trial and error and self-discovery to figure out. But for singer/songwriter Francesca Battistelli, her mind was made up when she was only six years old. After seeing "The Secret Garden" on Broadway with her parents, the decision was ultimately a no-brainer. "There was just something about live theater-especially musical theater-that has always resonated with me," Francesca says. "So I thought that was it. I was going to be Mary Lennox in 'The Secret Garden'." Of course for anyone who knew her family, Francesca's passion for life on the stage wasn't all that surprising, given her mom and dad's extensive theater background. In fact, they met when her dad was the assistant conductor for the national tour of "The King and I," while her mom played Anna, the show's female lead opposite Yul Brynner. "

OBAMA SUPPORTING ISLAMIC TERRORIST GROUPS WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS

AL-QUEDA IS DIRECTING SYRIAN REBELS, OBAMA SENDING MILLIONS TO SUPPORT ISLAMIC TERRORISTS WHO WERE BEHIND WTC

This is a religious poem written by Alexis Sullivan. In this poem God speaks and asks his children to dwell with him in his Secret Place.

The answer is simple. Muslims say that they do not believe in killing innocent people. Here's their dirty little secret. Nonmuslims are not innocent and as such are fair game.

"On Glenn Beck's Jan. 7 show, he was rightly puzzled regarding the exact purpose of President Barack Obama's Dec. 16 signing of an executive order "DESIGNATING INTERPOL AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES." Beck spoke for a host of other government watchdogs when he said on the air: "We've been asking ever since it was signed: Why? Who can tell me what special interest group asked for this? If it were about terror, why not tell us that when he signed it? This Congress attacks our CIA and FBI, but Interpol gets immunity? Why? It makes no sense." Glenn, I agree. But I think I recently have seen behind the veil on the White House's covert mission and mystery with Interpol. The rest of Obama's executive order reads: "By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words 'except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act' and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.""

They had no guarantee that they would survive the storm, BUT they could be absolutely sure that God controlled the storm and controlled their lives. They could be absolutely sure that as fierce as the storm raged, God's love for them raged even more fiercely. No storm could ever blow them out of God's mighty hand.

Since the dawn of homo sapiens, we study, experiment and try to decipher the secret code of love. Many of us seem to have forgotten that in the early days, free love was a shortage. From aristocrats to slaves, marriages and relationships were often given as orders and elections of people with more power and authority for political, religious, material and personal purposes. Therefore, there are the great love tragedies of "Romeo and Juliet" and "Abelardo and Eloisa", as well as countless others who have been persecuted for their innocent expression of love. These tragic love stories have left us wondering, why is it so difficult to love and what is it to feel this depth of love?

What role does the Society of Jesus (a.k.a. the Jesuits) play in our modern day world? Are they still the spearhead of the counter-reformation? Are they still the inquisitors of old?
