| LOVE- the greatest of these gifts |
 admin writes, "Elvis' cousin', Billy Smith shared the following story on his Elvis Fans Matter YouTube channel.
"One day the two were riding in Elvis' limousine when they passed an old colored gentleman and his wife who were trying to push their truck full of wood that had broken down.
Seeing people in need, Elvis stopped and pulled up behind them to offer help.
Elvis, who had not been recognized by the couple, offered to push the truck with his limousine.
But it didn't quite work out, so he went out and offered the old man a ride, which was warmly received.
He then took him to the Oakley Ford car dealership in Memphis.
Billy recalled, “He bought this guy a new truck and I thought that old man was going to faint. I couldn't believe it!”
As he signed the papers for the truck, the car salesman said, "Mr. Presley, is there anything else?"
And then that old man realized who had been so nice to him. But the generosity didn't end there.
Elvis told the old man to drive his new truck to his old truck, where he would meet him there.
He and Billy then helped him move the wood from the old truck to the new one."

| THE BIG GUY! |
 admin writes, "“My mother said I weighed 18 or 20lbs from the start, the biggest baby she ever saw. I was deformed as a boy. I had a big stomach and a big rear and little shoulders.”
- Primo Carnera
Primo Carnera, nicknamed the Ambling Alp, was an Italian professional boxer and wrestler who reigned as the boxing World Heavyweight Champion from 29 June 1933 to 14 June 1934. He won more fights by knockout than any other heavyweight champion in boxing history.
Carnera was the third European to hold the world heavyweight championship after Bob Fitzsimmons and Max Schmeling. He would be the last until Ingemar Johansson claimed the title against Floyd Patterson in 1959, over a quarter of a century later.
Carnera was also the first boxer to win the European Heavyweight title and subsequently become World Heavyweight champion."

| Only a little girl |
admin writes, "
A Child's View of Thunderstorms
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning.
The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school.
She also feared the electrical storm might harm her child. Full of concern, the mother got into her car and quickly drove
along the route to her child's school. As she did, she saw her little girl walking along.
At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile.
More lightning followed quickly and with each, the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.
When the mother drew up beside the child, she lowered the window and called,
"What are you doing?"
The child answered,
"I am trying to look pretty because God keeps taking my picture."

 admin writes, "What if you woke up in the middle of the night and reached over to put your arm around your spouse and there was nothing but a neatly laid out pair of pajamas? Than you ran through your home looking for her and you discovered your children are missing to and just their PJ's were neatly laid out. Then you start remembering in the middle of the night you heard this shout, but it didn't wake you up. Make sure what you believe is right, for there could be hell to pay if you are wrong. Salvation and Grace is a wonderful thing. "

| WE ALL NEED HELP |
 admin writes, "I am seeing families breaking down, friendships being destroyed, Churches being indifferent to needs of the helpless, sports and entertainment as the 2 biggest gods, government making small business surviving almost impossible, folks with chips on their shoulders, never smiling, with a defeatess attitude. But yet, Faith can turn it 180 and we can be back on top. However it won't be done in the masses, it has to be done one person at a time. Will anyone commit with me. We will accept marriage and relationship, are a daily or even hourly work. Learn to tell your kids NO at least 3 times a day, so in their future, they won't expect too much from their mate. Never put high expectations on anybody or anything, so you won't expect perfection. Than when something great comes from them, you will count it as a blessing."
