ALL ADVERTISERS: BE SURE TO READ THIS WELCOME MESSAGE!

(It is all too obvious that most of you didn't read it in the last issue.)
My dear readers, ever since I started publishing this ezine over a year and a half ago, I've enjoyed the heck out of it. However, in the last six months or so, because of the rapid growth of the subscriber base, the workload caused by hundreds of free ads coming in on a regular basis has become overwhelming. I've been forced to publish two extra issues a week just to accommodate them, and still I'm falling farther and farther behind.
Something has to change drastically for me to continue publishing. Therefore, starting immediately, our classified ad policy will be CHANGED as follows:
Each NEW subscriber will receive ONE free classified ad. All others who wish to submit ads will have to pay for them. Two dollars per classified ad. (I also should say here that all ads that have been submitted by existing subscribers for free publication will have to be scrapped, because I have to start somewhere, and this will simplify the process.)
However, If you are a genuine new subscriber who submitted an ad with your subscription, your ad will be published in the order in which it was received.
I also need to mention here that many times I am sent "new" subscribers by the various ezine directory services with which this publication is registered. Many times these are not "new" subscribers at all. This causes even more extra work. If you are already subscribed, please do NOT subscribe again. You will NOT receive another free ad if you do this. I'm sorry, but this wouldn't be fair to those who pay to advertise.

Welcome all our new subscribers from 10Dollars20Ads.com at

WHY ARE FREE RADICALS SO DEADLY?

As promised, I've temporarily suspended publishing personal testimonies in this slot to include a few excerpts from the amazing book that started it all, "Lessons From the Miracle Doctors," by Jon Barron.
"A single free radical can destroy an enzyme, a protein molecule, a strand of DNA, or an entire cell. Even worse, it can unleash, in a fraction of a second, a torrential chain reaction that produces a million or more additional killer free radicals."

DISCOVER YOUR PASSIONS—FOLLOW YOUR HEART
by Stephanie Kelly

Do you wake up in the morning thrilled that it's a new day and eager to complete the tasks ahead of you? Do you enjoy living your life? Do you go to bed and rest peacefully because you're satisfied with how you spent your time?
Too many people don't! Too many people wake up dreading the day, hating their work, never feeling satisfied, and not enjoying life.
Why do so many people waste their lives that way?
I spent way too many years feeling unfulfilled, like life should just be better than it was. I don't mean that I wasn't happy, but I do mean that that I was not satisfied with life because it was filled with more things that I had to do than things that I wanted to do.
The bills have to be paid and so you do your job. It doesn't matter if that job excites you or enhances your life, it's what you do to pay the bills . . . and the bills have to be paid.
Life shouldn't be that way. Life should be so enjoyable that that you bring joy to others. The good news is that life can be that way! If you're not waking up excited about each new day YOU can change that! All you have to do is muster up the courage to follow your heart!
The fact that the bills have to be paid will never change. But if you follow your heart and find a way to spend each day doing the things you love, the things that excite you, the things that you are passionate about . . . you will be happy in the morning, content during the day, and satisfied at night. And . . . you will have unlocked the first door to being successful!
Take a look at successful people. They are passionate about what they do. That passion is what gives them the stamina and the courage to overcome the problems that get the rest of us down!
What are you passionate about? What excites you? What do you look forward to? If you weren't worried about paying the bills how would you spend your days?
For example: Do you love to talk? Are you a good listener? Do you have a lot of knowledge? Do all your friends ask you for advice? Maybe you would be a good counselor. But that's too simple and that's how people get stuck in jobs they have to do instead of jobs they want to do! Those same qualities would also make a wonderful advice columnist, a fantastic teacher, a caring social worker, or even a great sales person.
The point is that you have to know what excites you. You know your strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else. And you are the only one that can determine what will make you happy!
Do some serious soul searching and determine what's important to you. Your obligations should never cost you the things that are important to you, your values, your ethics, or your passions!
I had what was considered to be a very successful career, but after some serious soul searching of my own I determined that my career was costing me everything that was important to me! My faith, my family, and my passions! I decided that this was too high a price and that I would have to find the courage to follow my heart, my passions, and start living life by my own design!
Starting your own home business or changing careers won't change your life into a perfect fairytale world. As a matter of fact it will be full of new challenges. But, if you start doing the things you love to do you will face the challenges with a new energy that you never knew you had, you will be thrilled to see what each new day brings, and you will be amazingly satisfied!

A BIBLE RIDDLE

Who was the man in Israel who had a weapon hidden under his clothes (strapped to his right leg), what was so unique about this man physically, and who did this man trick and finally kill with this hidden weapon?
ANSWER: EHUD—hewas also LEFT handed and had a dagger hidden under his clothes, strapped to his RIGHT leg. He tricked King EGLON of Moab and killed him with his hidden dagger. See Judges 3:12-30.

The moment of victory is much too short for a
person to live for that and nothing else.

GUEST ARTICLE

BE THERE!
by Steve Goodier

A delightful story is told about a young man who applied for a job as a telegraph operator. He answered an ad in the newspaper and went to the telegraph office to await an interview. Though he knew Morse Code and was qualified in every other way, seven other applicants were also waiting in the large, noisy office.
He saw customers coming and going and heard a telegraph clacking away in the background. He also noticed a sign on the receptionist's counter instructing applicants to fill out a form and wait to be summoned to an inner office for an interview. He filled out the form and sat down to wait.
After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering why he had been so bold. They talked among themselves and finally determined that, since nobody had been summoned to interview yet, the man would likely be reprimanded for not following instructions and possibly disqualified for the job.
Within a few minutes, however, the young man emerged from the inner office escorted by the interviewer, who announced to the other applicants, "Thank you all very much for coming, but the job has just been filled."
They were all confused and one man spoke up: "Wait a minute -- I don't understand. We've been waiting longer than he and we never even got a chance to be interviewed."
The employer responded, "All the time you've been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message: 'If you understand this, then come right in. The job is yours.' So you see, all of you were summoned, but HE heard and understood!"
This man knew a valuable life-lesson that most people miss: Wherever You Are, Be There. You're there physically, be there emotionally. Be there mentally. Be there attentively. Be there as fully as you can.
Wherever you are, be there. When you're completely present, you'll make the most of every minute. And minutes lived fully add up to a life lived magnificently.
