It really wasn’t fair that so many thin people couldn’t understand what it meant to be fat. Patty got mad when skinny friends chastised her for not sticking to her diet better. What did they know? Patty was always so thankful to God for what weight she’d been able to lose already that she could never understand why her friends put her down. Didn’t they

It was raining “cats and dogs” and I was late for physical
training. Traffic was backed up at Fort Campbell, Ky.,
and was moving way too slowly. I was probably going to
be late and I was growing more and more impatient.
The pace slowed almost to a standstill as I passed Memorial
Grove, the site built to honor the soldiers who died in the

“Introduction”
An excerpt from
The Power of Discipline
By Brian Tracy
Why are some people more successful than others? Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and accomplish much more in the same number of years than the great majority?
I started out in life with few advantages. I did not graduate from high school. I worked at menial jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.

Know your rights: campaign gear and the polls
======================================
Any registered voter who meets his or her state’s requirements to vote has the right to cast a ballot at the polls on Election Day.
It is true that in some states, like Nebraska, Virginia, and New York, wearing campaign gear is not allowed at the polls. But no matter what, your vote cannot be taken away from you. At most, you will have to take off a button or put a jacket over a T-shirt. You will still be allowed to vote. Check with your state’s Secretary of State’s office to learn more.
