Calif. family finds $10,000 in box of cracker

Sat Dec 27, 3:45 pm ET

IRVINE, Calif. – The box of crackers Debra Rogoff bought from the grocery store had some crackerjack in it — an envelope stuffed with $10,000.

Yet the Irvine woman was more curious than ecstatic about her daughter’s find. After all, who would leave money in such a place?

“We just thought, ‘This is someone’s money,’” she said. “We would never feel good about spending it.”

Rather than go on a shopping spree, the family called police and was initially told the money could be part of a drug drop.

THINK ON THESE THINGS

Subject: Answer to Dennis Cullivan’s letter “Where have all the grown-ups gone?”, which appeared in the October 17th, 2007 issue of the Daily News.

~”~”~”~”~

To the editor:

I would like to congratulate Dennis Cullivan on his letter, “Where have all the grown-ups gone?”, which appeared in Letters to the editor on October 17th. Every single word he wrote is true and should make all readers sit up and take notice. Our country is in such bad shape that it may take upwards of ten years to repair all the damage perpetrated upon it.

.

Cullivan is correct…the inmates ARE running the asylum, both in Washington, D.C. and in the individual states! Just this week, the state of Maine decided it would be a great idea to pass out birth control pills and condoms to middle school students aged eleven! All that is required is a blanket permission slip from the parents. This blanket permission slip covers regular medication, aspirin, etc., in addition to the birth control items. Should any of these eleven year olds obtain birth control pills or condoms, the parents will NOT be notified! What has our world come to when eleven year olds are given birth control pills and condoms? There is only one last thing to which they haven’t stooped….giving live demonstrations on how to perform sexual intercourse! The way things are going, I guess that is next!

.

The moral compass of our country has been stomped on and smashed. In my humble opinion, the slide down this slippery slope began when prayer was removed from our schools. Nothing goes right without God’s presence. It is just going to get worse as time goes on.

.

San Francisco just had their Forum Street Fair, which celebrates the homosexual lifestyle. At this fair, it was reported that gays and lesbians were actually having sex on the street while the police turned their backs and did nothing about it. This fair was open to everyone and there were many children who witnessed these outrageous displays. One of the posters for the fair showed a picture of The Last Supper, only the people at the table were all homosexuals and the table was littered with sex toys in various shapes such as Jesus and the cross. Do the words “Sodom and Gomorrah” mean anything to you?

.

I know God loves everyone and that He is very patient with all of us. But even His patience will come to an end if things don’t change. His patience came to an end when he flooded the earth and killed everyone except Noah and his family. It also came to an end when

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;

wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less; buy more but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families;

more conveniences, but less time;

we have more degrees, but less sense;

more knowledge, but less judgment;

more experts, but more problems;

more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much,

spend too recklessly, laugh too little,

drive too fast,

get too angry too quickly,

stay up too late, get up too tired,

read too seldom,

watch too much TV,

and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom and lie too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life;

we’ve added years to life, but not life to years.

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,

but have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors.

We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space;

we’ve done larger things, but not better things;

we’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;

we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice;

we write more, but learn less;

plan more, but accomplish less.

We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait;

we have higher incomes; but lower morals;

more food but less appeasement;

more acquaintances, but fewer friends;

more effort but less success.

We build more computers to hold more information,

to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication;
