A Church Turned Into a Home
A couple purchased an old church in Kyloe, Northumberland. They invested a lot of money on the interior but the exterior remained almost completely intact.

Starbucks Denies Coffee to Marines!
Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffee and to request that they send some of it to the troops there. Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee. So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying any of their products! As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn’t mean we don’t support the boys on the … Read entire article »

Pass The Poems
"Slow Dance" This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital. It was sent by a medical doctor – Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM. Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast. Time is short. The music won’t last. Do you run through each day On the fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply?

Pin Number Reversal
If you use an ATM, this is good to know. Pass it on to others you know and it may be helpful some day.
