i am going to bump this. Good luck Charl!!! I unfortunately have not met Charl but am friends with his daughter, who is not a skydiver but does get encouraged to jump every time I talk to her. So as Sharleen's friend I am hoping everything works out so he can successfully acomplish his journey. "Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be. It's not something you regret .

So I got this as an email, and it fits my life for the last two days so appropriately I thought I would share it. Maybe someone else will need this, like this, or whatever too. "Let it go for 2004...by T. D. Jakes >There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. >Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. >You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. ! Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!! >If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to... LET IT GO!!! >If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ... LET IT GO!!! >If someone can't treat! you right, love you back, and see your worth...LET IT GO!!! >If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!! >If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge .. LET IT GO!!! >If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ... LET IT GO!!! >If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents... LET IT GO!!! >If you have a bad attitude...LET IT GO!!! >If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!! >If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him.. LET IT GO!!! >If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....LET IT GO!!! >If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...LET IT GO!!! >If you're feeling depressed and stressed .... LET IT GO!!! >If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to.. LET IT GO!!! >Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thingfor 2004!!! LET IT GO!!! >Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!! "Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be.

Don't let yourself get frustrated, we all couldn't pack at first. Just keep trying, all of a sudden you will get it. And if I EVER get to come home you will get to meet me and see how backwards I pack, and I have yet to pack a mal so it must be hard to do. "Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be.

a son of bitch, mother f$#%er, asshole, arrogant f'in bastard, f'in prick, mother f'n rude son of a mother f'in......i got lost after that but he did continue and then told me he was going to kick my ass, I almost laughed in his face but I was having to maintain professionality infront of employees of my client. You got love when people blame you for firing them for blatently not doing their job and completly disrespecting you as their client / boss and telling you they are not going to do things. If anyone has a good recomendations for managing personality differences books or speakers I would be interested in having them passed on to me. "Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be.

I have been waiting for a day, but what seemed like weeks, but no pigeon would land. Maybe because I kept yelling at them. I don't have any cheese dip in my fridge, wait, I don't even have a fridge. I am starting to think your not right about the pigeon or cheese dip. Where do you get your instructions? I think they are bad. Instructions for CabanaBoy, aka Pop, aka Texas Mike: In a few weeks you will see a man you know and he will tell you what to do, do not be scared, you will then understand these instructions. until then, put down the pipe, stay away from the cheese dip, stay close to the bottle, and talk to the pigeons about not doing their job.

Kyle you poor boy. as for me, Kirk B was my first AFF jump instructor, my first AFF, after 1 tandem, was his 1000th and second to last before retiring that day. And if he doesn't jump again till then, I am going to try and get him to jump again for my 1000th. most influencial, MFDammit, my SDU coach. That man made me a skydiver, not just someone who jumps out of planes. "Sacrifice is a part of life. It is supposed to be. It's not something you regret . It's something to aspire to." Mitch Albom

I have a finance degree and work in construction management. A degree is a degree, ok a business degree is a business degree, so unless you want into a specific type of work, ie medical, engineering, law, etc., just get a degree and figure out what you want to do in life, and then change your mind 10000 times.
