Miracles...Both of Them!!!!





I need to take time to thank all of you who have prayed and continue to pray for my sister, her husband and these beautiful blessings.

If you click on the title above it will take you to their blog where you can witness their growth.

Baby Will, named after my hero/grandfather who recently passed, was born with only two chambers of his heart and is still in the hospital but continues to defy all odds.

Ella, his twin, is heathy and has a 100-Watt smile.

Protect Yourself ~ Stop Unwanted Pre-Approved Credit Card Offers

Since session has ended I now have some time to catch up on a couple of television programs I recorded.

One of them was a program regarding identity theft in Arizona. Although I do know quite a bit about this problem as it goes hand-in-hand with the meth epidimic, I found this little piece if information interesting and immediately grabbed my phone and called...1-888-5-OPT-OUT.

You can avoid getting these offers in the mail by calling a toll-free number operated by the major credit bureaus, 888-567-8688.

Your social security number will be requested to identify you. Getting off these marketing lists will not affect your ability to apply for credit.

So, please, right now, grab your phone and make this simple call, then afterwards, pass this information along to your family and friends.

Update: Arizona Tax Revolt

For those who have asked, I have included this link to the Today's News Herald and a recent article regarding Marc Goldstone's Arizona Tax Revolt.

I strongly urge anyone who still has petitions to contact Mr. Goldstone. The contact information for the initiative organizers can be found on their website at http://www.arizonataxrevolt.org/
