Life is for one generation; a good name is forever.
~~ Japanese Proverb ~~
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~
Fold two hands together,
And express a dash of sorrow.
Marinate it overnight,
And work on it tomorrow.
Chop one grudge in tiny pieces,
Add several cups of love.
Dredge with a large sized smile,
Mix with the ingredients above.
Dissolve the hate within you,
By doing a good deed.
Cut in and help your friend,
If he/she should be in need.
Stir in laughter, love and kindness,
From the heart it has to come.
Toss with genuine forgiveness,
And give your friends some.
The amount of people served,
Will depend on you.
It can serve the whole wide world.
If you really want it to!!!

Have you offended your child?
Do you realize when you’ve hurt your child emotionally? Some children wear their hurt on their faces; others hide it in their hearts. Over his years of counseling, Dr. Gary Smalley has heard from many children about the suffering they experience when their parents’ words or actions cause them emotional pain.
What has offended these children? Here’s a sampling: "Seeing my parents spend a lot of money on their pleasures, but when I want something, they don't seem to have the money," "Needing my parents, but they are glued to the television," "Getting my hopes up to do something as a family and then not following through," and when a child is able to sense "a difference between what is said with the mouth and what is said through facial expression." Children have a way of getting to the heart of a matter, don’t they?

What are you planting this Spring?
If you plant tomato seeds, you’ll get tomatoes, right? If you plant cucumber seeds, you’ll get cucumbers. You reap what you sow. In the same way, the seeds you plant in your relationships determine what you’ll get in return. Do you want your children to be patient, kind and respectful to you? Then sow seeds of patience, kindness and respect to them.
Want your spouse to be understanding, loving and loyal? Then sow those same seeds yourself. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

When you visit this site, enter your address and a map will pop up with a small icon representing your house. The map shows the neighborhood where you live. There will be red, yellow, blue, and green squares/dots throughout your neighborhood. When you click on these dots a picture of a criminal will appear with his/her home address and the description of the crime he/she she has committed.
If you have older children, you can show your children these pictures to warn them. Its amazing how many of these criminals live so close to your home or school.

Tony & Rebecca Williams claim to have a rescue in Rocky Mount, NC, and are trying to get dogs from all over the Eastern Seaboard. She continues to take dogs. Most are pit bulls, with some offers to adopt Presa Canarios, Rottweilers, Dobermans, and Wolf hybrids. In addition, she had previously posted that her roommate was looking for a Great Dane or Great Dane mix. She also posted that she was "desperate" for a Chihuahua and she really wanted a Min Pin and a Jack Russell.
She claims her rescue is a pit bull rescue, but another pit rescuer called the local Animal Control. Animal Control's comments: "She's been barred from taking any dogs from the shelters in her area." He also said she has a long criminal history, has been selling Pit Bulls on street corners for $15 or $20 and has been under investigation for dog fighting. Atlantic Rescue has now banned her, after finding out this information.
These are the breeds she has asked for: Pit Bulls, Rottweillers, Dobermans, Presa Canarios, Chihuahuas, Jack Russell Terriers, Sharpeis, Miniature Pinschers, and Great Danes. She uses the little dogs as bait! They are going out of their area looking for dogs to adopt for their inhumane purposes.
