Quote of the Issue:
Faith is, at one and the same time,
absolutely necessary and altogether impossible.
Stanislaw Lem (1921 - 2006)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What does it mean to have faith? You can have faith in a system or religion. You can have
faith in a person. Yet what does it mean? For me faith and believing are interchangeable.
For me faith is a verb. Faith is removing doubt and making something happen. Why talk
about faith? I guess because folks seems to have lost a bit of it lately. Seems that with
the economic crisis everyday people are more skeptical what with the unemployment rate up,
homes are not selling, people are not vacationing like they used to. Times seem to be
tough all around but I think if you believe, have faith (remember I think faith is a
verb!) then we each have the power and ability to improve things. Yes it will take work,
yes it will be scary but anything worth doing or having requires two things in my book -
action and faith. So if you have been a bit weak in the faith department recently take a
few minutes to evaluate and see if maybe you need to adjust your actions and of course
just believe!
Until July 20th, you gotta have faith...

MIKE'S PET CENTER in Neptune has a new pet!
Mike has adopted a 6 year old female Kinkajou named Kaytie.
What is a Kinkajou? It is a mammal that is native to South Americas tropical forest
and is in the same family as the raccoon, but Kaytie originally came from a private
breeder in Kansas. Some interesting facts are they have a prehensile tail and they can
turn their feet backwards to run either way. She likes a lot of tropical fruits and they
also like honey and that is how they got a nickname "Honey Bear" but one of her
favorite treats is marshmallows. Kinkajous are nocturnal and are very sweat but shy
animals. They live to be about 25years old.
