Every Day's Journey

Losing someone is always hard no matter who you are. We are not here to stay we are strangers to this planet. So please stop taking life for granted and go out and something that you want to do that you are yet to do. This may sound cliche but it is true. Nothing here is for you and can not be taken with us so  appreciate  people more and materials less. We have come to live for materials instead of actually really living for life. I was saddened to learn of the death of Jim Oberstar. Besides being Minnesota's longest-serving Congressman and a legend to his constituents in the Iron Range, Jim was a devoted friend and supporter of the Haitian people. I relied on him for advice on Haiti first as President and again after the terrible Haitian earthquake in 2010.  Jim was a good friend, a true and tireless public servant, and I’ll miss his great energy and big heart. My thoughts and prayers are with Jean and his entire family. 

        If you were as skilled as your character jack and you were to implement those skills in a similar real life event would you fight or take flight? Kiefer:   I thought about that in kind of trying to develop the character for the show. His first thought was what would I do if it was My family and they were in trouble and needed my help? He then stated that he would risk it all by fighting to the death. So with that state of mind it made it easier for him to go on to the set and play this role Keifer admire his character because he knows he is no jack and that he does not do all the things that jack can but he used the fact of if that was his family in that situation to prep for his role.  Kiefer Sutherland recently starred in the critically acclaimed “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” and will be next seen in “Pompeii.” This past summer, he filmed the western feature “Redemption,” alongside his father, Donald Sutherland.   Before his work on the FOX drama “Touch,” Suthe

Taking the time out to spend with your child is always a great thing, but how do you interact with them during that time is of utmost importance. I have always thought reading to be fundamental and away of opening your children up to other things. What you read and how you read it makes the world of a difference. I use to sit with my niece and read books to her everyday even though she is still young she remembers these things and bring it up in conversations. The time you invest in your children will reflect in them and the things you teach them as well will show. Of course many parents claim that they do these things with their children and in all actuality they do not. Children tend to remember more than they forget. So imply what you want them to portrait, no parent is perfect, no child is perfect and no parent and child relationship is perfect it is something you have to continue to work on. We are all human begins we learn through trial and error and take with us what ever kn
