MARCH 11 "STOP TALKING, START LISTENING!"

As the story goes…..Tom turned to Mark and asked, “hey Mark, what on earth did you say to Paul yesterday, I saw him the day before and he was really down in the dumps, he said he spoke with you and Paul says you really helped him.  I tried talking to Paul too, but I didn't help him, apparently. I’m just wondering, what did you say that I didn't? I can’t think of anything you would have told him that I didn't, I mean I gave him every speech I knew, so what did you say, that I could not have already told him, I’m really curious to know?!! Mark turned around and said, “Actually, I didn't say anything, I just listened, that made all the difference. All Paul needed was someone…to listen.

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
