 "There was a boy who found a terrapin, more commonly
known as a turtle.
He started to examine it but the turtle pulled in its head and closed its
shell like a vice. The boy was upset and he picked up a stick to try to pry
it open.
The boy's uncle saw all this and remarked, 'No, that's not the way! In
fact, you may kill the turtle but you'll not get it to open up with a
stick.'
The uncle took the terrapin into the house and set it near the fireplace.
It wasn't but a few minutes until it began to get warm. Then the turtle
pushed out its head, then stretched out its legs and began to crawl.
‘Turtles are like that,' said the uncle, ‘and people, too. You can't force
them into anything. But if you first warm them up with some real kindness,
more than likely, they will do what you want them to do.'"
(Isn't this a good example of how to
become more familiar with the quieter ones in our congregations)

 View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move
through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you
reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High
Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move
from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf
cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic
universe of electrons and protons.

 OK, this is just too much! Can you say "privacy?" As in,
"where is our right to it???"
I definitely removed mine, I suggest you all do the same ....Now you can
see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! I
just searched for mine and there it was ...picture and all! Thanks Homeland
Security! Maybe we should start up a petition or something protesting this.
What do you think?
Go to the website and check it out. It's unbelievable!!! Just enter your
name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on
the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it from
public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

exceptional value.

I don't know if you've heard, but starting Jan 1, 2004 you will no longer
be able to use a cell phone while driving unless you have a "hands free"
adapter. I went to Circuit City and they wanted $50 for a headset
with a boom microphone for my cell phone. Having
a friend in the
cell phone business, I talked with him and was able to come up with an
alternative, working through Office Depot.
These kits are compatible with
any mobile phone and one size fits all. I paid $0.08 each because he
bought in quantity. I'm selling them for only $1.00. I tried them out on
Erickson, Motorola, Nokia phones and they worked perfectly.
A photo is attached.
Take a look and let me know if you want one. Also, forward this to anyone
you know who may want one!
Click Here to view picture of the kit.

 Ever
wonder what the Vikings ate when they set off to explore the new world?
How Thomas Jefferson made his ice cream? What the pioneers cooked along
the Oregon Trail? Who invented the potato chip...and why? Food is the fun
part of social studies! The tricky part is finding recipes you can make in
a modern kitchen, with ingredients bought at your local supermarket and
bring into school to share with your class. This page is for you!
