  • Some great quotes by Thomas Jefferson in no particular order:


    "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

    "If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour? "

    "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. "

    "No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will."

    "Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence. "

    "That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves."

    "That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part."

    "The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers."

    Next 2009 is all about Jesus.

    When was the last time you set aside time for what is most important? For the person who is most important?

    Laziness and familiarity can take their toll. Jesus becomes comfortable, a habit, not exciting or awe inspiring. Too often he fades into the background of our busy lives.

    But Jesus hasn't changed. And he invites us to meet him again.

    The same Jesus who spoke the universe into being. The same Jesus who went from heaven's glory to a stable. The same Jesus who took on flesh, walked the earth, and carried our sorrows. The same Jesus who suffered, bled, and died on the cross as our substitute, for our sins. The same Jesus who conquered death and rose from the grave. The same Jesus who will one day return.

    We gather to worship him, to study his Word, and to rediscover who he is and what he has done.

    Join us and spend four days meeting Jesus again.

a lil bit about me

I LOVE JESUS!!! The Lord is so good! He brought me to His side. He draws my eyes to Him again and again when I wander. He forgives me when I sin. He gives me the strength to endure. And He loves me even though I don't deserve it.

I chose the name urbansouthuna because: one day my friends and I were talking about how country music seems to be all about living way down south & out in the country. I love country music! I’m glad I was born in the south! However I'm a very urban girl. I love living in the city; being close to malls, department stores, cinemas & supermarkets... BTW: southuna should be pronounced suth-na.

I am: slightly serious, very logical, a little quirky, not sappy at all but I have an inner romantic especially when it comes to certain songs & movies.

I like to get together with friends for meals, coffee, dancing and parties.

I am currently in to Indian culture (aka: bollywood films, clothing, jewelry & food).

I love to ballroom dance and I teach ballroom dancing classes every now and then.
