Today is "PINK DAY and a very special day for me. Only a little over a year ago I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I thank God that it was in the early stages and they were able to remove it with clean margins and clean lymph nodes. Early detection is vitally important! My advise to all women out there that haven't scheduled their annual mamogram yet, please do it. It is very important! It could save your life! It saved mine. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer. 29:11

LOVE LOCKS--In our visit to Pompeii, Italy in 2007, we came up this makeshift "shrine" to lasting love. Locks, with the names of couples and adorned with symbols such as hearts, are attached to a chain on a lamppost.

ANOTHER SATURDAY, ANOTHER MARBLE-- Author Josh Mayo, in his book, "Help! I'm Raising My Kids While Doing Ministry" shares a true account of a grandfather who put over a thousand marbles into a large jar--one for each Saturday for the rest of his life. Each Saturday, he removes a marble from the jar--to remind him to invest his Saturday into his children and grandchildren somehow that day with a visit, a call, a letter or email. He has now emptied the jar and keeps it as a reminder that each Saturday now is an extra blessing from God to share time with his family.
