Cruise Ship's Journey Thru The Panama Canal
Religious Truths
Let's start off this Friday with a little Religious humor:
It is important for those of all faiths to recognize these Four Religious Truths:
1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people.
2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian World.
4. Baptists do not recognize each other at Hooters.
Make it a great day!

BestFriends.org - Sponsor a Boss
The dog on the left is named Boss. He was rescued in Beirut by the Best Friends Animal Society shortly after the Israel/Hezbollah war began. When they found him, he was bleeding from one arm, but was still holding strong and hiding his wound so as not to seem weak. If you'd like to sponsor Boss or any of the other animals they have rescued, go to BestFriends.org. They're doing an excellent job and need our support.Make it a great day!

Casey Martin - A Winner In All Walks of Life
Remember Casey Martin? Casey is the professional golfer who made headlines back in 2001 when he won a court battle with the PGA Tour to allow him to ride in a golf card to compete on the PGA Tour. He has the disorder known as Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome, a degenerative disorder that causes his veins to rupture and fill the cavities around his tibia with blood. He may eventually face amputation.
What most people don't know is what all Casey has accomplished in his life so far. As a junior golfer, he won 17 junior golf tournaments in Oregon. He received a golf scholarship to Stanford University and together with his teammates Tiger Woods and Notah Begay III, helped win the national championship in 1994.
He played on the PGA Tour a couple of years and competed on the Nationwide Tour for many years. He even qualified for the US Open in 1998 and finished tied for 23rd place. Many professional golfers never qualify for the US Open, so this in itself was a huge feat. Then to make the cut and finish within the top 25 was truly amazing with his physical challenges.
What I am writing about today though is what is happening to him now. Casey is no longer playing professional golf on a regular basis. However, he's still very much involved in golf. He is now the head golf coach at the University of Oregon. And, in only his second tournament as the head coach, Oregon won the Northwest Collegiate Golf Classic by nine strokes.
Casey is a perfect example of someone who faces difficult challenges everyday, but continues to persevere and win at whatever he does. Is there any reason why we shouldn't be doing the same? The only reason is in our minds. If you think you'll win, you probably will. If you think you're going to lose, then you probably will.
Keep it positive folks. Life is too short to always lose.
Make it a great day!

Former CNN Anchor Daryn Kagan Starting Inspirational Website
I know what you're thinking.... How can someone who used to work as an anchor for CNN start a website about spirituality? I think the answer comes from the words "who used to work."
According to the latest issue of NewsMax magazine, CNN Live Today anchor, Daryn Kagan, who left the show on September 1st, is going to start her own website, DarynKagan.com. According to Kagan, she believes that the mainstream news business "lacks a certain spirituality." I couldn't agree more...
Kagan says her site will be, "an inspirational, online community dedicated to the radical idea that the world is a good place." Sound familiar? Can you say PositivePelham.com anyone? Sorry, had to give myself a little plug, but hey, I'm not as well known as Daryn.
Seriously, I applaud Ms. Kagan for her stance and I wish her the best of luck. Her new site is launching on November 13, 2006. Bookmark it now and support her efforts. The world needs more positive news, and I'm looking forward to her input.
Good luck Daryn.
Make it a great day!

One of the reasons why I like it is because of the positive message that many country songs convey. Country music is the only genre of music that allows it's artists to sing about God and positive things and still remain popular. It's a sad statement, but how many rock or pop artists do you know of that can sing about Christian or Religious themes and still remain at the top. The list is very small.
But, country music is different. For the most part, it's music that inspires rather than tears down. And in this day and age, that's what I like to hear. Each week, I'll feature a new positive song from a country music artist. This week's song is If You're Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins.
Enjoy and make it a great day!
