TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE OLYMPIC GAMES ...
“Never underestimate the POWER OF DREAMS and the influence of the HUMAN SPIRIT. We are all the same in this notion: The POTENTIAL FOR GREATNESS lives within each of us.”
~ Wilma Rudolph - Olympic Champion
Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely at 4.5 lbs., the 20th of 22 siblings; Rudolph contracted infantile paralysis (caused by the polio virus) at age 4. She recovered, but wore a brace on her left leg and foot (which had become twisted as a result) until she was 9.
Wilma Rudolph was considered the FASTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD in the 1960s and competed in two Olympic Games, in 1956 and in 1960.
In the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome Rudolph became the first American woman to win 3 GOLD MEDALS in track and field during a single Olympic Games.

Happy Easter Adam!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EASTER ...
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him."
~ John 3:16-17
And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him."
~ Mark 16:6

Be CHARITABLE Adam!
(Richard is a patient with Primary Systemic Amyloidosis)
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT CHARITY ...
"The best thing to give to your ENEMY is FORGIVENESS;
to an OPPONENT, TOLERANCE; to a FRIEND, your HEART;
to your CHILD, a GOOD EXAMPLE; to a FATHER,
DEFERENCE; to your MOTHER, conduct that will MAKE HER
PROUD of you; to YOURSELF, RESPECT; to ALL MEN,
CHARITY."
~ Francis Maitland Balfour
CHARITY SEES THE NEED NOT THE CAUSE! NO ACT OF
KINDNESS, HOWEVER SMALL, IS EVER FORGOTTEN!
