A very dear friend sent this to us, and we wanted to share it with each of you.  We all have to remember that God can make a huge difference in our lives, but we can also make a difference in the lives of others every day!                                                                               The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly                          accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new.                   She looked like she had never missed a meal... Read Full Story

                                  He was just a little boy, On a week's first day. Wandering home from Bible school, And dawdling on the way.   He scuffed his shoes into the grass; He even found a caterpillar. He found a fluffy milkweed pod, And blew out all the 'filler.'   A bird's nest in a tree overhead, So wisely placed up so high.

(Consumer Reports) There is mounting interest in the cash for clunkers program officially launched today, as evidenced by CR’s reader feedback and media queries. Automakers are beginning to fire up their marketing engines, enticing shoppers to consider replacing their low-value rattletraps with shiny new models. But the cash for clunkers program works just for a small subset of would-be shoppers. The government’s “Car Allowance Rebate System” (CARS) provides about $1 billion to jump-start... Read Full Story

CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (CNN) -- An annual family fishing trip to the Florida keys took a bloody and life-changing turn for Jordan Thomas. "It was a beautiful day and we were going to go out spear fishing that night," said Thomas, who was 16 during the 2005 trip. But when he jumped into the water, the boat's wake dragged Thomas hard into its sharp, whirling propellers. He immediately knew what was about to happen. "I looked down -- my black fins were gone and all I saw was red justeverywhere... Read Full Story
