Our Weekly Message for March 21, 2003
|
Greetings special
friends, As
our nation is on the brink of war, make sure to
take time to pray for our men and women that are
standing strong for our country along with our
President who has many difficult decisions to make
in the coming days.
The Presidential Prayer Team
I hope that all of you are refreshed from spring
break and ready to tackle school again. With the
weather changing so quickly we have summer like
weather in some areas and blizzards in other
areas. Hope you are one of the lucky ones getting
sunshine like we are.
Here are some thoughts for the day on "purpose":
"The longer I live, the more I am certain that the
great difference between the great and the
insignificant, is energy - invincible
determination - a purpose once fixed and then
death or victory." -- Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton
"You must be single-minded. Drive for one thing on
which you have decided."
-- George S. Patton
"The chief distinguishing characteristic of
leaders is Intensity of Purpose."
-- Brian Tracy
"How different our lives are when we really know
what is deeply important to us, and keeping that
picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to
be and to do what really matters most." -- Stephen
Covey
We are gearing up for our
National
Championship next week in Denton, Texas. We
are thrilled to have the South African National
Dance/Drill Team competing with us for the first
time. They will have an elementary team, a junior
team and a senior team. If you are in the area,
you will want to come watch the over 125 teams
competing for national and international
championships along with the
Dallas Power House of Dance and the NBA Dallas
Mavericks Dancers. Watch next week for a schedule
to be posted on our main
page.
We are getting numerous daily registrations for
Summer Team Camps, Officer Camps and Private
Camps. Make sure to visit our
Summer Camp page
for locations and information about camps.
Individuals can also download a registration form
for Jazz
Camp.
Below is a cute passage called The Dancer Mom's
23rd Psalm. Hope you enjoy it.Have a glorious
weekend ahead, and, as always, please keep in
touch.

The Dancer Mom's 23rd Psalm
"The dance schedule is my ruler,
I shall never make it there on time!
It maketh me to look for the costume hair accessories at
midnight,
It destroyeth my sleep!
It filleth my car with odd dance shoes,
It turneth me into a fast food junkie!
It forceth me to loose my "Cool",
The judges ejecteth me from the competitions!
Yea though I faithfully sit at the studio night after
night,
I fear great evil for I have lost a sandasol!
One pom-pom getteth left at home...
I forgetteth Thursday class,
And the dog dineth upon a Jazz boot!
Surely costumes, tights, and dance shoes
Shall empty my wallet all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the Dance Shop forever!" |
