Suitable Anniversary Verses – Is Writing Your Own The Way To Go?
For any anniversary whether it be for a friend, family member or partner the first thing you will need to purchase is a card. Although most cards will contain anniversary verses you may find it a struggle to find one suitable for the person in mind.
There are several paths you could take when trying to find suitable anniversary verses.
You may decide to write your own or even enlist the help of a poet that offers creating unique anniversary verses just for you.
If you do decide to write your own and you have never attempted this sort of thing before, it is well worth having a look around for some examples and ideas to help you along the way.
Some examples of anniversary verses would be:-
Ten years, one decade,
three thousand, 652 days.
After all this time I love you so,
and I love you in so many different ways.
My love is unconditional,
so unlike the setting sun,
because my heart will shine forever,
]]>
for me, you’ll always be the one.
The anniversary verses you choose or use as a guidance will of course be effected by the year, for example if you are trying to write anniversary verses for a first anniversary you may want something along the lines of
Happy Anniversary honey,
it’s been one year since I happily said yes,
it’s been a year full of joy and love,
a year full of pure happiness.
I ‘m so glad to be called your wife,
and share our remaining years together,
I want to walk across our universe arm-in-arm,
I want to be with you forever and ever.
If the anniversary poem or the verses you are looking for are for your parents, now is a good time to thank them for all they have done and tell them how much you care. An example of this would be
You have always been there for us,
have taught us right from wrong,
have taught us God’s word,
have taught us his song.
You are very special parents,
and could never have been cursed,
you’ve had five beautiful children,
and have always put them first.
But you have big and generous hearts,
and you are so unselfish and giving,
you make the world a better place,
you make life itself worth living.
And now I have my memories,
and my heart silently soars,
because my friends used to say:
“I wish I had parents like yours”
I would like to thank God,
because we have been truly blessed.
There is no other way of putting it:
You are simply the best !
Finding suitable anniversary verses may seem like a hard task but poetry is accessible via the internet as well as in books. The most important thing to remember is to choose something that is personal and will move the person who is reading it.
Allen Jesson writes for several sites that specialize in helping
you to find the perfect Anniversary Gift, or to write a meaningful Anniversary Poem or find a
suitable Wedding Gift

Loving, Committed, Relationship: How To Know He Is Ready
Are you ready for a loving, committed relationship with the right guy? Are you confused by the signals your guy sends? Because of past relationships, are you hesitant to trust your feelings? Do you wonder if a committed relationship is in your future? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can have a loving, committed, relationship and you can know if he is ready.
A loving, committed, relationship is every girl’s desire; however, confusing signals, hurts from past relationships, or not trusting your feelings, can contribute to wondering if the guy you are dating is sincerely ready for a relationship. Following are ways to know he is ready for a loving, committed relationship.
Intimate details: No, not does he share with the guy’s things he shouldn’t, I mean, does he share his personal thoughts and feelings with you? A guy who is ready for a long term relationship will open up and share his thoughts, goals, and experiences. It may not be on the first date, but over time you will begin to see what he is all about. Guys who are in it for “fun” will not be as willing to share their feelings.
]]>
Long range plans: A guy who is interested in a relationship will not only plan, but commit to long terms engagements. It may be dinner with friends coming to town for a visit, a social event several months away, or meeting someone at the beach for a weekend get-a-way. If he is seeking long term, he will not be afraid to commit weeks, or even months in advance.
Meet the family: This is a huge test for a relationship. Meeting parents and family is stressful. A guy who is ready for a relationship will do a couple of things. First, he will put his best foot forward for the occasion. Not necessarily coat and tie, but nice slacks and shirt, he will dress to impress. Second, he will take time to ask questions about your family. Are there topics he should avoid, or does your family have certain beliefs he needs to respect. He will do everything he can to make the evening enjoyable for you, your family, and lastly himself.
These are just a few ways to know a guy is ready for long term. When he is ready, he will discuss his life with you and make you feel a part of it. He will make long term plans that include you and he will be willing to meet family and friends. You can have a loving, committed, relationship, and you can know if he is ready.
Imagine what if you could make any man adore you, chase you, love you, and commit to you? Click Unforgettable Woman Advice and learn 77 Secrets that 99% of women have never heard. You have got to see this!

Shepard Honored at 50th Anniversary Celebration of Freedom 7 Flight
The Golden Anniversary of the flight of the first American in space was commemorated with a special ceremony at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Complex 5/6 blockhouse near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. That’s where, on May 5, 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr., began his historic, 15-minute mission aboard his Freedom 7 capsule. Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter and members of the Shepard family were joined by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, former astronaut Bob Cabana and more than 200 workers from the original Mercury program in celebrating the historic anniversary. The event included a re-creation of Shepard’s flight and recovery, as well as a tribute to his contributions as a moonwalker on the Apollo 14 lunar mission.
Special Report: 50th Anniversary of Baptist Seminary in retrospective — celebration Spring, 2009
The 50th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (Mill Valley, California) celebrated this last part of Spring, 2009, ushered in memories and celebration of a Homecoming on the Mill Valley, Campus. Two highlights of the May 28 and 29, 2009 days included opening a time capsule and homecoming by elder graduates who appeared in Gold Robes.
In a public statement, the seminary remarks: “This place declares the Glory of God to all the nations,” said President Jeff Iorg as he stood before the open time capsule, speaking to alumni, students, faculty and staff. “Is there another explanation for the Seminary’s success other than God’s power and glory?”
President Iorg held up and marveled at the remarkably well-preserved items which had been sitting in the copper shoebox-sized box, nestled in the administration building’s cornerstone since 1959. Items included the Seminary bylaws, the Baptist Faith and Message, pages from the SBC minutes of 1950 showing action of the Convention accepting Golden Gate as a Southern Baptist seminary, copies of the first and 15th anniversary issues of the alumni magazine The Gateway, photos of the three Seminary presidents (Isam B. Hodges 1944-1946, Benjamin O. Herring 1946-1952, and Harold K. Graves 1952-1977), the first and the 1959 academic catalog of classes, the student-faculty directory and faculty group photo.
In an interview by email, Dr. Rodrick Durst, answered questions as part of a restrospective at this time of the 50th Anniversary. Dr. Durst has served as faculty and administration at Golden Gate since 1991. He also served eleven years as the Vice President of Academic Affairs and, prior to that, three years as the Director of the Southern California Campus.
The seminary says of the professor, “Dr. Durst loves the classroom. He teaches theology and history from a leadership formation perspective. His passion is for developing life-changing ways of communicating and teaching Christian truth for transformation, retention and rapid reproduction.”
His remark:
How has the campus changed in its history, a broad question. A broad answer is good.
In my thirty-five year association with Golden Gate, I have seen the campus change dramatically in terms of color, constituency and delivery modes. Its student color demographic was 90% plus Caucasian in the 1970’s and is 50% Caucasian today, with the other half being African American, Korean, Chinese, and Hispanic. Korean students discovered Golden Gate in the eighties due to its Bay Area location, affordable tuition and biblical conservatism. They have been a significant presence for the last quarter of a century.
The first seminary President was influenced by the seminary’s roots. “Who will open the western seminary?” Those words from former Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary president L. R. Scarborough in a chapel speech in 1924 were forever etched into the mind of Isam B. Hodges, then a student at Southwestern.
In an announcement the Seminary notes: “Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary opened the doors to its Northern California campus in Mill Valley fifty years ago, in September 1959, after six years of planning and construction. The 148-acres of former dairy land called Strawberry Point became home to the first Southern Baptist seminary in the west, and today the five-campus system is known as the 10th largest seminary in the United States.”
Continuing our retrospective, Dr. Durst answered a second question by email.
Tell us, please, how many Baptist churches are there in the west.
There were few Baptist churches in the west in 1959 when the Mill Valley campus opened. Now there are over 2,000 Southern Baptist churches in California alone. This western constituency rapidly began to reflect the west after the great post-war Southern migrations ceased in the early sixties. Today our constituent churches reflect the west, if not the Pacific Rim, and not the so-called Bible belt. In 1959, Mill Valley was the sole campus of Golden Gate, which was and is mandated by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) to provide ministerial leadership to SBC churches in the western half of the U.S. To better achieve that mandate, the Northern California campus has intentionally multiplied and sacrificed resources to open campuses in Los Angeles (1973), Vancouver, WA (1981), Phoenix, AZ (1995) and Denver, CO (1996).
The seminary catalog tells readers: “Golden Gate’s mission is shaping effective Christian leaders to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission through the churches of the West and the world. At Golden Gate, students share unparalleled opportunities to participate hands-on in the real world of ministry and mission in North America and across the globe.”
Further statements on the seminary purpose for this retrospective add: “Joining the Golden Gate family means becoming part of a community of people committed to sharing the message of Jesus Christ in creative, practical, life-transforming ways.
“Every year, we train more than 1,900 men and women at our five campuses and multiple Contextualized Leadership Development centers across the West. We pray that Golden Gate Seminary can become your partner as you seek to fulfill God’s call in your life.” The seminary President says as part of its statement of purpose from its catalog.
One current student remarks of her time at the seminary: “I was drawn to Golden Gate because of my desire to have a greater spiritual impact on the lives of others. I am passionate about reaching lost people and I believe training from Golden Gate will help me to become a better minister. Golden Gate does not just train church leaders, but effective leaders for Christ.” (From the seminary website.)
Another woman student says from the seminary website: “My seminary experience has been nothing short of life-changing. I am learning to delve deeply into the Scriptures, to wrestle with understanding them so that my proclamation is accurate and insightful and, most importantly, empowered by the Holy Spirit. I am also learning to wrestle with this thing we call the community of faith – learning to love my brothers and sisters in Christ as I love myself. I am learning to love those outside the Kingdom with grace and truth, loving them into the family. More than anything, seminary is enriching my own walk with Jesus and helping me be more like him.”
Here is a taste of the current leadership sense and training of students. Certainly, the seminary is centered on Jesus Christ. These characteristics are taught as part of Christian Formation and Education:
Leadership characteristics related to being a follower of JESUS:
1. Following Jesus – A Christian leader understands the biblical, theological, historical, personal, and experiential foundations of being a follower of Jesus.
2. Spiritual Disciplines – A Christian leader practices the spiritual disciplines of being a follower of Jesus.
3. Christ Commitment – A Christian leader demonstrates commitment to living as a follower of Jesus through knowing God through Jesus and knowing self.
4. Integrity – A Christian leader demonstrates integrity, meaning he or she consistently applies biblical
principles in character and actions.
5. Wisdom – A Christian leader demonstrates wisdom, meaning he or she follows God’s Spirit to apply biblical principles to complex life situations.
Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary is part of the emerging Church movement. Dr. Durst notes in the email interview:
In the same line of history, what aspect of the emerging Church movement is now prevalent in the teaching and ethos of the Seminary on its anniversary (50 year)?
Without losing focus on Christian grace and truth, classes are now taught with a distinct awareness of cultural diversity, generative creativity, and spiritual authenticity. Courses and chapels challenge students to move from being spectators to participants in their learning experience. All five senses and multiple learning styles are employed so that students can engage from their strength rather than be forced into one model or mode of learning. The classrooms and faculty computers are wired for the Internet. Many faculty are on Facebook or other social networks and use these to keep in touch with their students.
A great deal has notably changed in the 50 years of seminary life, and as a look back
A highlight of the festivities was honoring the Seminary’s “Golden Graduates” during commencement on May 29. Twenty-eight of those who graduated from the Berkeley and Oakland campuses from 1949-1959, donned golden robes and walked with the Class of 2009.”
During this time of retrospective, we asked Dr. Durst to give us perspective on the current seminary life. He did this in the interview by emails in two parts:
We’ve heard the term “Postmodernity” so many times. Will you comment?
If we can call the emerging culture “Postmodernity,” then that culture is moving away from the anthropocentric toward an ecological centricity, away from nationalism toward a global/local awareness, and away from trust in truths expressed propositionally toward truth conveyed in stories, especially stories in graphic formats. The emerging postmoderns are rather allergic to denominational structures but are rightly fascinated by spirituality. Spiritual formation is now core in the curriculum and students from this generation relish the challenge ancient spiritual disciplines bring to their inner authenticity.
As a retrospective, will you point to a major evolution in this area for ministry, the seminary and the Church.
Ministers and ministry will need to continue moving from a focus on performance excellence to relational authenticity. People are becoming less trusting of the “sage on stage” and more open to the “guide at the side” who is on pilgrimage with them. The Seminary will need to be ancient and future. Ancient in the sense of being rooted in the reliability of the gospel and future in the sense of knowing and making space to hear the questions people are asking in the 21st century. The classes, that are willing to entertain the toughest questions today with fair-minded biblical response, will be better able to prepare its students to have joy and effectiveness in ministry.
Churches must move from building and organizational structure centric to people and relationally centered. The churches will need to continue to move from being inwardly focused to being externally focused, realizing that postmoderns want to see Christianity doing good in the community before they care to hear the message of forgiveness and relational restoration. In the past it was tell then show, and now its show then tell. And often it will mean inviting the interested into the showing to create opportunity for trusted telling.
As an end note to this article-retrospective, Dr. Durst comments in his interview by email on the Trinity and its “place” in the seminary context:
Will you say something of the Trinity in the Seminary’s biblical doctrine in a way that a lay person will be interested, so as to illuminate as a reflection your years with students in this past decade of experience?
In about 1997, I was using Jung Young Lee’s 1996 The Trinity in Asian Perspective as an example of a global theology. While I do not agree with the work’s imposing cultural norms on biblical texts, I did appreciate the way Lee looked at the different New Testament orders of the divine three names. He called the Father, Son, Spirit order the patriarchal order and the Spirit, Father, Son order “matriarchal”. I was used to the order cited at my own believer’s baptism, “in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” I took that order as the biblical norm. I unconsciously heard any reference to the divine names in that order. However, I was charmed and intrigued by the famous benediction in 2 Corinthians 13:13, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” Until Lee’s book, I simply overlooked such a dissonant Trinitarian order as so rare as to be the “exception that proved the rule.
Gradually, I began to pay close attention to the order of reference to persons in divine triad and how often those orders were not in the Father, Son, Spirit baptismal order. It turns out that well over thirty Trinitarian instances occur in the New Testament, which use an order other than Father, Son and Spirit. In class, I tried an experiment. I showed the students that, while the prayer of the disciple must be to God as Father in the name of the Son, the New Testament prays in that manner with surprising variety. Would the students be willing to pray to God in whichever Trinitarian order made most sense to them that night? I did not anticipate the outcome. One female student shared that she had had a difficult relationship with her father and as a result had never felt comfortable to pray to the Father. Up to that class, she had always prayed to Jesus alone. She said that by praying to the Son and then the Spirit, then she was for the first time able to pray to the Father by name. I pondered the significance of this experience and am working it out in a book tentatively entitled,” The Trinitarian Matrix of the New Testament.” I also wondered if one of the reasons the church looks and feels narrow minded is because it was overlooking the diversity of the ways God is named and worshipped in the New Testament.

Build Trust in a Relationship by Following These Guidelines
How can you build trust in a relationship is a million dollar question. What we often consider as the right move to build trust could not actually be the perfect solution. It takes long time to build trust and faith on an individual but a wrong gesture could act like a show spoiler. If you are searching for ways to build trust in a relationship, here are seven simple steps that can be of big help:
• Most of us believe that variety is the spice of life and constant change could keep the flames of love burning in a relationship. But you would be surprised to know that it pays to be predictable to build trust in a relationship. Coming up with cute surprise gifts or taking your spouse out for a candle light dinner are great surprises and welcoming changes but if you are looking to build your image as Mr. Reliable then you have to be consistent rather than being unpredictable. So bring up surprises to spice up your relationship but it will be your constant love and regular attention that will help you to build trust in a relationship.
• Browsing the section of how to build trust in a relationship on The Magic Of Making Up, you can come across some useful advices like your actions should match your words. For example a frowning I love you won’t make you feel connected with your partner. A smiling gesture, quick smooch and a bear hug accompanied with the correct words will make you win the trust of your partner.
]]>
• Another great advice that works well, believe in your partner’s capabilities because this is what is essential to build trust in a relationship. If you feel your partner is incompetent and you regularly raise your concern even in public forums than you may be actually violating their trust. Even if you feel your partner lacks something convey it to them in a loving manner to build trust in relationship.
• Be honest and have an open relationship, no secrets should be kept between partners if you want to build trust in a relationship. Instead of wasting your energy on trying to hide things use this energy in a positive manner in building up relationship.
• Be transparent, make your partner aware about your needs and leave the guess work only for solving puzzles. Be assertive when conveying your message but remember arrogance won’t do you any good. Experts assert that you should convey your needs but at the same time should not be selfish.
• Sometimes it is better to say no. You should realize that being a man or woman of words goes a long way to build trust in a relationship. Always giving in to others whims and fancies won’t do any good to your image so rather than being a YES man it is always better to stand up for what you feel is right. Always have your opinion and not go by what your partner feels.
• Last but not the least you should make your relationship grow by talking about everything down the sun. True some aspects of your life would be extremely painful and difficult to talk about, but remember you do need to dig dirt to grow beautiful flowers.
To build trust in a relationship you require time, patience and effort. But you can also utilize the tricks on ‘The Magic Of Making up’ to slowly yet steadily win the trust of your loved one.
Memories stay in our heart forever and so does our ex. So, if you just had a break up and already repenting, then you will soon realize the magic of making up if you are serious in your efforts to win your love back.
