Nurturing
the family in these times, by Earl H. Roberts.
Some of J. T. Hale's ancestors signed the
Declaration of Independence. Nathan Hale is counted as one of his
relatives. (They come from the same Hale family)
These are parts of his own personal heritage but ALL the signers of the
Declaration are part of every American's heritage.
That means Nathan Hale can be a hero to all of us. After all, if you go
back far enough all of us are related to kings, queens, and all the other
rapscallions too.
The recipe for keeping the modern family
together still begins in the kitchen.

I've learned,
I have! I've not had the best time of my life! But, I have
learned to accept the bad with the good. You do not know what your life will
bring tomorrow, so enjoy all that you've been given today.

They sat around moping when Daddy died because he had not left them any legacy. They were so down in the mouth that I stood up and volunteered to pay Daddy back for that time he drove 350 miles to get me when my car blowed up and my whole family was stranded on the road. "I figure that kind of service call is worth a thousand dollars because he kind of done it on credit and I never paid the bill. I'll put that in the pot for yawl
a legacy to divide up."
Down with the Willow...
Daddy
always was a better man than I; How do you deal with that? The Willow
was bigger than both of us.
Pray for your spouse because in these
treacherous times there are forces threatening us in the workplace as never
before.

Smiles, by Filomena Borsellino. A smile is the sweetest
Treasure on Earth.
Michael was not my problem. When he first
came to us he was a bundle of boyish energy, too large for his age and too
bright for his years. It was said that he ran his poor grandmother to death, and
having seen them together I believed it. It’s strange. All of us believed it,
but none of us helped, not like we should have. Oh, we hoped she could hold out,
and some of us probably prayed God would give her more strength. But somehow we
all felt Michael was HER problem, and not ours.

Remember You: That first shock of being forgotten by someone we love
is enough to turn our world upside down. All I could think of to say was,
"I am someone you have been very kind to over many years."

Doing
the Dishes: Take pride in who you are and what you like doing,
even if there are some to this day who believe that gender should decide what we
like or dislike and doing the dishes is for sissies.

The Hug.. Sometimes, no matter how hard we
try, we can't get what we want until we give it away to someone else first.
Remember Grandpa: Nearly 17 years later, I can still hear
grandpa's laughter, still smell grandma's coffee, still shiver at the memory of
how cold those rivers were.
Why Teach Your Child To Read?
Reading problems are a further challenge to our world by
contribute significantly to the perpetuation of socio-economic, racial and
ethnic inequities. However it is not just poor and minority children who
struggle with reading. According to the 2002 national report card on reading by
the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), most of our children
(64%) are less than proficient in reading even after 12 years of our attempts to
teach them.
