THOUGHTS TO INSPIRE YOU

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flown.
How did it get so late so soon?

Things Your Cell Phone Can Do
The following is information issued from police Detective Ross to his fellow offiers:
5 THINGS A CELL PHONE COULD DO
-
FIRST: Emergancy 112
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network, dial 112 and
the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.
ALSO: this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.
-
SECOND: Keys locked in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry?
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare is at home, call someone at home from your cellphone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. (Officer Parks tried it and it worked fine.)
-
THIRD: Hidden battery power.
Your cell battery is very low? To activate reserve power, press the keys *3370#.
Your cellphone will restart with this reserve and show 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged the next time you charge your cell phone.
FOURTH: Disable your stolen mobile phone.
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the folowing digits on your phone: *#06#.
A 15-digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
If your phone is stolen, call your service provider and give them this code. They will then
be able to block your handset - even if the ehief changes the SIM card.
FIFTH: Free Drectory Service for Cells
To avoid $1. and $1.75 charges for 411 information calls, simply dial (800)FREE411,
or (800)373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.
Suggestion: program this into your cell phone now.
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends. (Thanks to your local police officers.)

STORIES TO SHARE - from Sandy of Virginia
Thank You for Being in my Life
.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
.
When someone is in your life for REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance
and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at any inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realze is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
.
Some people come into your life or a SEASON because your turn has come
to share, grow and learn.
They bring you an experience of peace and make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and
put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
.
Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFETIME.

Flag Day 2010
Mountain Home, Arkansas, has given us a beautiful day to show off our American flags and remind us once again of the value of freedom. Nancy y Te
Freedom is Not Free
I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze
A young Marine saluted it, and then
he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought, how many men like him
Had fallen through the years?
How many died on foreign soil?
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, Freedom is not free.
I heard the sound of taps one night,
When everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how may times
that taps had meant "Amen"
When a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
with interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
at the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, Freedom isn't free!

FAMILY HISTORY "Life's Game of Sportsmanship"
FAMILY HISTORY - Sportsmanship -10 June 2010
Thank you Armando Galarraga! You are my hero - and so is Jim Joyce. Until last week, I had lost all faith in anyone associated with baseball. I am sorry to admit I had begun to see all of them as drug using and abusing liars and cheaters. I am happy to admit that I was wrong!
Detroit Tigers' Armando Galarraga pitched the perfect game - if it weren't for a bad call on the part of the umpire Jim Joyce. It must have been a huge disappointment, yet Galarraga is a true sportsman. He accepted the bad call as one of life's vicissitudes. "Nobody's perfect."
Umpire Jim Joyce acknowledged blowing the call and was in tears as he faced Galarraga on the playing field.
There is a question whether some correction or adjustment to the official record book could or should be made. I have no answer for that. I do know that the incident and the names of both Galarraga and Joyce need to be prominently recorded in "Life's Game of Sportsmanship!"
Clarence E. Thatcher Sr. was the epitome of sportsmanship. We, his sons and daughters, learned what that meant from our dad as we lived with confidence and security in a home where fair play was the rule. We recognized and understood its meaning and value before we could spell the words: Honesty; Interity; Respect. Thatcher put more faith and belief in sportsmanship than in any legal or religous doctrines. He was the consummate representative of "Do unto others."
It was difficult to learn, growing up, that some people did not live by the same rules. It was shocking to find children who blatantly lied and cheated. My sense of security and confidence was undermined and my fath in mankind diminished by their actions, so I began to take particular note of individuals who exhibited the quality I so admired in my dad.
It is my hope that people of all ages, player or spectator, come to recognize the valuable meaning of 'sportsmnship' as a result of Armando Galarraga's and Jim Joyce's unfortunate baseball incident.
