JULY 2 "IMPACT YOU CAN MAKE...OR NOT"

I’ll never forget the day I just found out my husband was having an affair; I was cut to the heart like never before. This came only two weeks after finding out my 15 year old daughter was pregnant and then found out my husband was leaving me. And in the middle of that mess, I got myself fired from my job, can you blame me? How could anyone concentrate at work with all hell breaking loose in their life; like, what I was experiencing! I didn’t know what to do or who to turn too. I finally thought I would call my best friend Samantha. I just needed to talk to somebody, someone who could listen, someone who I could cry with. We sat down at the café where we regularly met, on the corner of Van Buren & Metcalf, unfortunately before I could speak a word, she started, “oh you won’t believe the week I've had, a week from hell, let me tell you", she said, “1st my hair dresser, Jean Pierre, I don’t know why I go to him, he over streaked my hair, “I told him, you fix it, and now look at the color, I need a new hairdresser, who do you go to?" I began to answer " well… .I ". then she cut me off...“never mind, that’s not important right now, anyway if that wasn’t bad enough, my husband and I are supposed to go to Acapulco, well I call my travel agent and I tell him to book us in the Monte Carlo resort; instead what does he do, he books us in The Paradise Villas, “Paradise Villas” my foot, we stayed there last year, “Roach infested Villas”, that’s what I call it and they don’t have a “happy hour”, oh and my car, that stupid dumb voice activated monitoring system is driving me nuts, do you know that’s the 2nd time I bring it in this month, I just can’t take all this, it’s too much, you talk about problems, I tell you!...anyway, so what’s new with you?” she asked. Finally a chance to spill out my heart, I just felt like killing my self, maybe she could talk me out of it, so I started, “well things haven’t been going that well late…” That’s when she cut me off, “oh my gosh, I can’t believe the time, I’m sorry, but I have to go, I’m supposed to get my nails done at 2, I’ll never make it on time if I don’t leave now. I got to go, I have to tell you, I feel much better after talking with you, I’m so glad you called, why did you call, was there something urgent you wanted to talk to me about?”, she asked with insincerity as she glanced at her watch” I said, “no, nothing that can’t wait for another day, you go on” as I sat there alone, stirring my coffee, never before did I want so much just to end my life, but I thought about my pregnant daughter, I just thought “how on earth she would ever make it through the next nine months without me by her side and have to deal with her dad running off with his new sweetie; one thing is for sure, it gave me a reason to live when I had no other.

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...
