We are often most critical of ourselves, but God wants us to love ourselves. We need to love and accept ourselves for who we are, just as we are. Those with a healthy self-esteem are able to recognize their strengths, know their limitations and still value themselve unconditionally. 
Of
all the ruins we toured, this was the most complete. We walked from the top of
the city downward along a street called Kurets Street. Partial buildings
and temples remain on each side. The street itself is lined with
large columns and statues in various states of repair. The entire street
pavement was marble and very slippery even in the dry weather and sunlight.
Plus, it is anything but level as the marble slabs don't meet well anymore.
At least two people on our tour fell. Everything is ornately
carved -- the top entrances of the temples, statues, the top capitals of the
columns. One of the largest partial structures remaining was the 3
story Celsius Library. There was some evidence of the Christian
influence as we saw some stones of buildings with crosses carved in them.
We could see the remains of some mosaic floors. There is still much
archeological digging and restoring taking place and cats and dogs freely roam
the ruins.
If you take 1 minute to read this prayer,
imagine how many prayers are going up for our country.

.jpg) Hi Lord, It’s me. We are getting older
and things are getting bad here.
 Gas prices are too high, no jobs, and food and heating costs too high. I know some have taken You out of
our schools, government and even Christmas,
but Lord I'm asking You
to come back and re-bless America
We really need You!
There are more of us who want You
than those who don't!
Thank You Lord! I Love you.

...it has no point."
