FLOOD IN THE PHILIPPINES


In the Philippines, a flood has occured and caused severe
damage. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected. Somewhere
around 300 people have died and the number is still rising. The flood was caused by a typhoon that hit the Philippines and its neighbors. Because of this flood, many homes were damaged. Also, belongings such as clothes have been destroyed. The flood left devastating results as many people lost friends and families. For some people who are more wealthy, they can recover quickly, but for other who live in poverty, the flood has drastically impacted their lives. They will not be able to recover as quickly because of the lack of money. I can help by donating clothes and money to these people. I am fortunate that something like this has never in my life, but others are not as fortunate. By giving some of my belongings, I can help in a big way to those people who have been affected by this flood. Most importantly, the biggest way I can help is by praying for them. Nothing is too hard for God, and He will provide for these peolple in need. By doing these things, I can help those victims of the flood.

Terrorizing our kids through the US Patriot Act



Just 45 days after the September 11 attacks, with virtually no debate, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act. There are significant flaws in the Patriot Act, flaws that threaten your fundamental freedoms by giving the government the power to access to your medical records, tax records, information about the books you buy or borrow without probable cause, and the power to break into your home and conduct secret searches without telling you for weeks, months, or indefinitely.

Think before you say something!


School children performed a powerful piece in California about love and respect for one another.

Are we old school?

Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it -- Pamela Glenconner
