"Black Magic Woman" is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK). In 1970, it became a classic hit by Santana, as sung by Gregg Rolie, reaching #4 in the U.S. and Canadian charts, after appearing on their Abraxas album, becoming more closely associated with Santana than Fleetwood Mac,
Santana's version, recorded in 1970, is a medley with Gábor Szabó's 1966 "Gypsy Queen", a mix of jazz, Hungarian folk and Latin rhythms. The song became one of Santana's staples and one of their biggest hits. Abraxas reached #1 on the charts and hit quadruple platinum in 1986, partially thanks to "Black Magic Woman." The Santana version is also used as a cover in the music/rhythm video games such as Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero: On Tour while the master of Santana's version was made available as Downloadable content for Rock Band 3.
Wow! think if my fridge was like this, not only that I'd have many big smiles everytime I open it, might even help me to lose a few unwanted kilos as I would not want to take the items out at all :)
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing that you are a child of God. Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to bask in the sun. It is there for each and every one of you.
GOD is;
Lord Almighty,
Omnipotent King,
Lion of Judah,
Rock of Ages,
Prince of Peace,
King of Kings,
Lord of Lords,
Provider, Protector,
Paternal Leader,
Ruling Lord and
Reigning King of all the Universe.
He is Father,
He is Helper,
He is Guardian,
and He is GOD.
He is the First and the Last,
The Beginning and the End,
He is the Keeper of Creation and
Creator of all He keeps;
The Architect of the universe
And manager of all times.
He always was, He always is,
And always will be ...
unmoved, unchanged, undefeated,
and never undone.
He was bruised and bought healing.
He was pierced and eased pain.
He was persecuted and bought freedom.
He was dead and bought life.
He is risen and brings power.
He reigns and brings peace.
He is Light, Love, Longevity and Lord.
He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and GOD
He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful and Pure.
His ways are right, His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging,
and His mind is on Me !
He is my Saviour,
He is my Guide,
He is my Peace,
He is my Joy,
He is my Comfort.
He is my Lord and He rules my life.
I serve Him because He is GOD
And is worthy to be served.
His bond is love,
His burden is light, and
His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is ...
THE Wisdom,
THE Power of the powerful,
THE Ancient of Days,
THE Ruler of rulers,
THE Leader of leaders,
THE Overseer of over comers,
And Sovereign Lord of all
That was and is and is to come.
Now if that seems impressive to you,
Try this on for size ...
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me,
And never cancel my appointment in
His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up.
When I fail, He forgives.
When I am weak, He is strong.
When I am lost, He is the way.
When I am afraid, He is my courage.
When I stumble, He steadies me.
When I am hurt, He heals me.
When I am broken, He mends me.
When I am blind, He leads me.
When I am hungry, He feeds me.
When I face trials, He is with me.
When I face persecution, He shields me.
When I face problems, He is the answer.
When I face loss, He provides for me.
When I face death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody,
Everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is GOD,
He is faithful and true,
I am His and He is mine.
My Father in Heaven has already defeated
The father of this world,
And so if your asking why I stand and feel so secure,
Understand this ...
He said it, and that settles it!
GOD is in control,
I am on His side,
And that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for ...

Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. While this first Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. In 2009, the United Nations designated April 22 International Mother Earth Day.
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY. We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase a single word we said... YESTERDAY is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and poor performance. TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.
TOMORROW’S sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is as yet unborn.
This leaves only one day. TODAY Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities, YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down.
It is not the experience of TODAY that drives us mad, It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened YESTERDAY, and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
As I grew up, I've learnt that even the person who wasn't suppose to let you down, probably will.
You'll have your heartbROken & you'll break others too...
You'll fight with your best friend and you'll cry 'cause time is flying. So... take a lot of pics, laugh too much,forgive andlovelike you have never been hurt. Lifecomes with no guarantees, no timeouts and no second chances...Solive it to thef.u.l.l.e.s.t. Tell someone what he means to you, Dance in the rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, takechances, fall inlove, live every moment...

can't simply wait for Monday, my usual MJ posting day (tagged as MJ Mondays) to post this beautiful clip; and because anyway as today is Friday, a post-anything-day (Friday Free-days); andbecause I'm just so missing Michael extra more ... (and just because, I can always find an excuse to post any MJ'ism on any day I'd fancy to ^.^)
So here's The Eternal Love of my life; with Off the wall medley plus gold pants?! whoa!!!
In 1982, Michael Jackson did commercials advertising the Suzuki CL50 Love scooter in Japan. “Love is my message”is his catch-phrase and he has a sort of this unusual, but oh so cute squint at the end of each commercial; I was thinking, maybe, that's how the Japanese wink? ;) nevertheless though, Michael's 'winking' definitely added that more adorable flavour to these commercials;
Father, in the Name of Jesus, bless me even while I’m reading this prayer and bless the one that sent this to me in a special way. Open doors in our lives today, Save and set us free!
Give us a double portion of your Spirit as we take back everything that the devil has stolen:
Emotional Health
Physical Health
Finances
Relationships
Children
Jobs
Homes
Marriages
I cancel every plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised against us in the NAME OF JESUS. And I declare: NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WILL PROSPER.
I speak LIFE into every dead situation. And, I thank You that nothing is over until YOU say it’s over! Speak prophetically into our lives and to our situations:
