Praying for the World especially USA

nobody@vox.com(SerenityLife) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 10:42:35 -0400

Though I try to be optimistic, I am very concerned with the USA's economy.

When I read stories like this it just makes me pray even harder:

And please young people take a CHILL pill. It is not worth stress when a website goes down. Okay!!

(moral of this story here - do NOT put everything on the net thinking you can retrieve it. Always BACK up to a hard drive or other media. This is why I BUY CDs because if I lost everything in iTunes I would probably have a massive heart attack and die because I have spent my money on CDs to make sure that if my computer was STOLEN or died that I had my tunes!)

If you did not know it already, I am a music ADDICT:

Venus WON!! Serena was gracious!

nobody@vox.com(SerenityLife) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:20:43 -0400

Read Article from Reuters: Venus Williams Wins the Wimbledon Title

Love my Williams sisters!

Serena thanked Jehovah! Love to know she is spiritual.

I am glowing just observing their excitement.

Venus was graceful in her comments to her sister.

Venus thanked her sisters, her sparing partner and she said I love you MOM! She said her first job is big sister. (Serena STOP pouting!) Venus said that her father was home watching and his job was done watching. Venus did share that it is hard for all of them when they compete against each other. Venus even said that her sister, Serena, deserves a WIN.

Interesting TIP: Serena may have lost but she is higher ranked than Venus. This was said during the NBC commentary.

Serena's Rank Current Rank - #6

Venus Williams - Tennis - Yahoo! Sports - #7

Ahh..I love them!

It isn’t news that just two or three years ago, Harlem had a paucity of bank branches, grocery stores and other basic amenities, or that now that more affluent people have started to move there, upscale shops and restaurants have followed.

Not only because, as first lady, she played the diverse roles of someone interested in China and someone interested in china. Not only because, as a presidential candidate, she morphed from Queen Elizabeth I to Norma Rae, as Newsweek put it.

Their repertoire has always been deficient in grace and class. So there was Hillary Clinton cold-bloodedly asserting to USA Today that she was the candidate favored by “hard-working Americans, white Americans,” and that her opponent, Barack Obama, the black candidate, just can’t cut it with that crowd.

What you’ll find is a white televangelist, the Rev. John Hagee, lecturing in front of an enormous diorama. Wielding a pointer, he pokes at the image of a woman with Pamela Anderson-sized breasts, her hand raising a golden chalice. The woman is “the Great Whore,” Mr. Hagee explains, and she is drinking “the blood of the Jewish people.” That’s because the Great Whore represents “the Roman Church,” which, in his view, has thirsted for Jewish blood throughout history, from the Crusades to the Holocaust.

Lawyers Open Their File Cabinets for a Web Resource - New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/tec...

But free legal information for consumers who want to do some research before they visit a lawyer is far less broadly available on the Web. Now services are appearing that may make it easier for consumers to do their own preliminary homework on legal issues in advance of seeking help from a professional.

Times: 'We Expect' Layoffs | The New York Observer

http://www.observer.com/2008/times-we...

The drop-dead deadline is fast approaching for the staffers in The New York Times newsroom to raise their hand and volunteer for a buyout. An internal memo from the paper's assistant managing editor, Bill Schmidt, just went out and said that "we expect" that the buyout numbers aren't looking good and that for the first time the paper will be forced to cut the newsroom through layoffs.
