We come to this table today. O
Lord, humble and thankful and
glad.
We 'hank Thee first for the
great miiucic ut life, foi the
exaltation of being human, for the
capacity to lov e
We thank Thee for joys both
great and simple -
For wonder, dreams and hope:
. For the newness of each day;
.. For laughter and song and a
merry heart:
, For compassion waiting within
to be kindled:
For the forbearance of friends
and the smile of a stranger.
For the arching of the earth and
trees and heavens and the fruit of
{ail three:
‘ For the w isdom of the old:
* For the courage of the young,
f , For the promise of the child:
For the strength that comes
•when needed:
For this family united here
today.
Of those to whom much is
given, much is required. May we
.and our children remember this.
5 Amen.
. h Dear Annie: Please remind
ryour readers once again to Keep
jKids Alive Drive 25®. This is a
i proactive measure to mobilize
> citizens around the country to
respond to the problem of speeding
in their neighborhoods. Working
with police departments.
Neighborhood groups, schools,
municipal departments. civic
groups and families, we hope to
f create safer streets for pedestrians
Md motorists alike.
According to the National
Highway T raffic Safety
Administration, almost 175,000
pedestrians died on U.S. roadways
between 1975 and 2001. Local
roads, the streets right in front of
most of our homes, are over twice
NS dangerous as highways per mile
, driven. Pedestrians are also three
more likely to die when
struck by a vehicle traveling 30
mph vs one traveling at 25 mph
For the sake of children and
adult pedestrians and then families.
T ask communities around the
country to join this campaign by
visiting our Web site at
www keepkidsalivednve25 org, --
Tom Everson. Executive Director
Dear Tom Everson We are
pleased once again to remind our
readers not to drive over 25 mph
when traveling through residential
neighborhoods It’s worth those
extra few miles-per-hour to save a
life
Dear Annie My husband and I
have a friend w ho is "all about me"
and getung worse "Edna" can turn
any conversation back to something
about her. even if it's completely
off the topic Neither giving her
attention nor ignoring her seems to
help
Edna's husband takes the path
of least resistance and does
nothing We care about Edna and
would like to help instead of
avoiding her. but we fear losing her
friendship if we confront her We'd
be willing if we thought it might
push her to seek help for her
narcissism Do you have any
advice'’ - Indianapolis
Dear Indianapolis: Is one of
you willing to take the risk of
upsetting her in order to point out.
