I know many of you might feel the same way I do about this tragedy of Sept 11th.It all seems like it was a movie I was watching.But the truth is it wasn't,we all know it's real.But we have seen people join together to help mourn for our nation.Hands reaching out to one or another to help in some way.It might be with the clean up,money or prayers.There's the Angel Project which I am also contributing my angel projects to.
I know there are children who lost one or maybe both parents in that shambles.Most hearts are crying for them.But we as a individual family not only helping any way we can,must help right here in our own homes.Not just in calming fears our loved ones have.Promising to stick together and pull through no matter if we have a war or depression.Assurance of protecting one another through it all and any other way we can think of.

We may have a lot of rough times have to tighten our belts so to speak.But one thing we should never hesitate to do.Remind your family,your children,your husband,your parents-----that no matter what the circumstances that come,nothing will ever change your love for them.Just as many are showing our love for our Country and for the ones lost.And many that are asking God to Bless them!Bless the USA.You should be thanking God every day and night.

You know we all would like to know the future!I wish I cold help you there,but gues what I am not gifted for that.Even though we would like to change the future we can in a lot of ways.You know I think that there is so much evil and wicked things in this world these days.I don't know how on earth it could last very much longer.We all wish we could live longer,some want to live forever.But then we all know we can't.
But we can make life more worth living don't you think?Instead of all the rudeness in this world,I think it would be better if we used our manners more,do the good deed once in awhile.Many of us want to be first in line for it all.First in line on the highway,and cause a lot of deaths.That's sad,real sad folks.
Think the next time you go to work or to the store,what can I do to be a little nicer today.What can I do to make life more worth living.How can I stop a fight before it erupts.Put a smile on your face,let someone ahead of you on the freeway.Give up your place in a long line for the little old lady with a handful of bananas and cat food with the other on a cane.
Instead of blowing out that cigarette smoke around a little one's head or crowded aisle,put it out.You might decide you feel better,having done so.

THE POWER OF A LETTER Most of you know John Wayne as an actor. You may not know what happened to him before he died. This is that story! Robert Schuller's teenage daughter, Cindy, was in a motorcycle accident and had to have her leg amputated. John Wayne is a big fan of Robert Schuller. He heard Dr. Schuller say on one of his programs that his daughter had been in an accident and had to have her leg amputated. John Wayne wrote a note to her saying: Dear Cindy, Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you will be all right. Signed, John Wayne The note was delivered to her and she decided she wanted to write John Wayne a note in reply. She wrote: Dear Mr. Wayne, I got your note. Thanks for writing to me. I like you very much. I am going to be all right because Jesus is going to help me. Mr. Wayne, do you know Jesus? I sure hope you know Jesus, Mr. Wayne, because I cannot imagine Heaven being complete without John Wayne being there. I hope, if you don't know Jesus, that you will give your heart to Jesus right now. See you in Heaven. And she signed her name. She had just put that letter in an envelope, sealed it, and written across the front of it "John Wayne" when a visitor came into her room to see her. He said to her: What are you doing? She said: I just wrote a letter to John Wayne, but I don't know how to get it to him. He said: That's funny, I am going to have dinner with John Wayne tonight at the Newport Club down at Newport Beach. Give it to me and I will give it to him. She gave him the letter and he put it in his coat pocket. There were twelve of them that night sitting around the table for dinner. They were laughing and cutting up and the guy happened to reach in his pocket and felt that letter and remembered. John Wayne was seated at the end of the table and the guy took the letter out and said: Hey, Duke, I was in Schuller's daughter's room today and she wrote you a letter and wanted me to give it to you. Here it is. They passed it down to John Wayne and he opened it. They kept on laughing and cutting up and someone happened to look down at John Wayne. He was crying. One of them said: Hey, Duke, what is the matter? He said (and can't you hear him saying it), "I want to read you this letter." He read the letter. Then he began to weep. He folded it, put it in his pocket, and he pointed to the man who delivered it to him and said: "You go tell that little girl that right now, in this restaurant, right here, John Wayne gives his heart to Jesus Christ and I will see her in heaven."
Three weeks later John Wayne died.
