Subject: great dog story
And a great Post Office story....................
This is too sweet to not pass along and, being an animal lover myself, it touched my heart. I just wonder who sent the little girl the letter and the book. God bless them.
This puts a new slant on "going postal" ... Hope it catches on!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Our dog Abbey died Aug. 23, and the day after Abbey died, my 4 year old, Meredith, was SO upset. She wanted to write a letter to God so that God would recognize Abbey in heaven. She told me what to write, and I did.
Then she put 2 pictures of Abbey in the envelope. We addressed it to God in Heaven, put two stamps on it (because, as she said, it could be a long way to heaven). We put our return address on it, and I let her put it in the drop box at the post office that afternoon. She was absolutely sure that letter would get to heaven, and I wasn't about to disillusion her.
So on Labor Day, we took the kids to the museum in Austin, and when we came home, there was a package wrapped in gold on our front porch. It was addressed to Mer. So, she took it inside and opened it.
Inside was a book, When Your Pet Dies, by Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers). On the front cover was the letter we had written to God, in its envelope (opened). On the opposite page was one of the pictures of Abbey taped on the page. On the back page was the other picture of Abbey, and this handwritten note on pink paper: "Dear Mer, I know that you will be happy to find out that Abbey arrived safely and soundly in heaven. Having the pictures you sent to me was a big help! I recognized Abbey right away!
You know, Mer, she isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me (-just like it stays in your heart-) young and running and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you know. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep things in-- so I am sending you your beautiful letter back with the pictures--so that you will have this little memory book to keep.
One of my angels is taking care of this for me. I hope this little book will help. Thank you for your beautiful letter. Thank your mother for sending it. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.
God blesses you every day and remember, I love you very much. By the way, I am in heaven and everywhere there is love.



Signed, God, and one of his special angels (who wrote this letter after
God told HER the words)."
How wonderful is that! I never knew there were angels working at the
post office.

The Map

If we were all only as smart as kids!


Maybe we should let our Kids have a go at fixing our Country.
Myrna


A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little
girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like.
Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the
map of the country. Cutting out all the states, he gave it to Shelby, and
said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This
will show you our whole country today" After a few minutes, Shelby returned
and handed him the map correctly fitted together. The father was surprised
and asked how she had finished so quickly. Oh," she said, "on the other side
of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He
belonged, then our country just came together."

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.



1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.



2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.



3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.



4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.



5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.



6. You mean the world to someone.



7. You are special and unique.



8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.



9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.



10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.



11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.



So...........If you are a loving friend, send this to everyone, including the one that sent it to you. If you get it back, then they really do love you.



And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!



Good friends are like stars........



You don't always see them,

But you know they are always there.



"Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway"

PLEASE SEND BACK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY

Ruth went to her mail box and
there was only one letter.

She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but
then she looked at the envelope again.

There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and
address.

She read the letter:

Dear Ruth:

I'm going to be in your neighborhood Saturday
afternoon and I'd like to stop by for a visit.

Love Always,
Jesus

Her hands were shaking as she placed the letter on
the table.
"Why would the Lord want to visit me?

I'm nobody special.
I don't have anything to offer."

With that thought, Ruth remembered her empty
kitchen cabinets.

"Oh my goodness, I really don't have anything to
offer.
I'll have to run down to the store and buy something
for dinner."

She reached for her purse and counted out its
contents. Five dollars and forty cents.

Well, I can get some bread; and cold cuts, at least."

She threw on her coat and hurried out the door.

A loaf of French bread, a half pound of sliced
turkey, and a carton of milk...leaving Ruth with grand
total twelve cents to last her until Monday.

Nonetheless, she felt good as she headed home, her
meager offerings tucked under her arm.

"Hey lady, can you help us, lady?"

Ruth had been so absorbed in her dinner plans, she
hadn't even noticed two figures huddled in the
alleyway.

A man and a woman, both of them dressed in
little more than rags.

"Look lady, I ain't got a job, ya know, and my wife
and I have been living out here on the street, and,
well, now it's getting cold and we're getting kinda
hungry and, well, if you could help us. Lady, we'd
really appreciate it."

Ruth looked at them both.

They were dirty, they smelled bad and frankly, she
was certain that they could get some kind of work if
they really wanted to.

"Sir, I'd like to help you, but I'm a poor woman
myself.
All I have is a few cold cuts and some bread, and I'm
having an important guest for dinner tonight and I was
planning on serving that to Him."

"Yeah, well, okay lady, I understand. Thanks anyway."

The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders,
turned and headed back into the alley.

As she watched them leave, Ruth felt a familiar
twinge in her heart.

"Sir, wait!"

The couple stopped and turned as she
ran down the alley after them.
;
"Look, why don't you take this food.
I'll figure out something else to serve my guest."

She handed the man her grocery bag.

"Thank you lady. Thank you very much!"

"Yes, thank you!" It was the man's wife, and Ruth
could see now that she was shivering.

"You know, I've got another coat at home.

Here, why don't you take this one."

Ruth unbuttoned her jacket and slipped it over the
woman's shoulders.

Then smiling, she turned and walked back to the
street...without her coat and with nothing to serve
her guest.

"Thank you lady!

Thank you very much!"

Ruth was chilled by the time she reached her front
door, and worried too.

The Lord was coming to visit and she didn't
have anything to offer Him.

She fumbled through her purse for the door key. But
as she did, she noticed another envelope in her
mailbox.

"That's odd. The mailman doesn't usually come twice
in one day."

Dear Ruth:

It was so good to see you again.

Thank you for the lovely meal.
And thank you, too, for the beautiful coat.

Love Always,
Jesus

The air was still cold, but even without her coat,
Ruth no longer noticed.

If you love Jesus, send this to ten people
Do not keep this message.

The mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours.

You will get a very pleasant surprise.

This is true, even if you are not superstitious.

Very good things will happen to everyone that
touches this story

THANK YOU, LORD

A newly arrived soul in Heaven was met by St. Peter. The saint toured the
soul around Heaven. Both of them walked side by side inside a large workroom
filled with angels.

St. Peter stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the
Receiving Section. Here, all the petitions to God said in prayer are
received". The soul looked at the section, and it was terribly busy with so
many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets from
all the people of the world.

They walked again until they reached the 2nd section, and St. Peter told the
soul, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and
blessings the people asked for are packed and delivered to the persons who
asked for them down on earth."

The soul saw how busy it was. There were so many angels working in that
room, since so many blessing were being packed and delivered to Earth.

Finally at the farthest corner of the room, the soul stopped at the last
section. To the surprise of the soul, only one angel stayed there idly,
doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledging

Section," St. Peter told the soul. "How is it that, there is no work here?"
"That's the sad thing," St. Peter answered. "After the people received the
blessings they asked for, very few send their acknowledgments". "How does
one acknowledge God's blessing?" "Simple," St. Peter answered. "Just say,
"'Thank you, Lord'."

Thank you Lord, for giving me the chance to share this message with others
and also, for giving me so many wonderful people to share this with. If you
have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a
place to sleep .. you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish
someplace .. you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness . . you are more
blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation you are ahead
of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest,
torture, or death ..you are more blessed than three billion people in the
world.

If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare,.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful ..
you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder
.. you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that..
someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind
everyone else how blessed we all are.

THANK YOU LORD!

To All Concerned,

I have emailed Sandy Douglas and she never has responded to my email. Because of this I have been unable to get my accommodation letters. If I need to go up to the office and wait to get my accommodations I will. I have noticed a parking meter in front of SSB, I can only stay parked for 30 minutes. I'll be up at 330 to see Sandy Douglas since she is the one helping Ms. Belluscio out. So, you can not say I have not sent an email to Ms Sandy Douglass at the end of the email I'll send you what I sent her along with attachments I sent her which was letters to my professors. The professors ask for contact info and stuff about me I sent every teacher one
Ms. Douglas Subject Letters to my teachers
my id is 901314856
When would you like to meet?
I do everything by email all assignments, papers and everything, and use of my laptop

There was times I arrived before 9:15 a.m. for my class last semester and the parking was full.
I have pictures of the parking lot Tuesday at Combs/Kieth I showed Mr. Jozefowicz the pictures today and he said that for me to call, I will be calling the police from now on for help if that is what I need to do. I do want to show you the pictures I took on Tuesday, One vehicle was parked illegal. If I parked like that I would have been towed.
Tuesday, I tried to tell the "campus safety" about the problem they could not understand me so they did not try to help me, so I took pictures of the parking. Infact, the "campus safety" officer said, "I can not understand you." So, I tried harder. He then said "You need to move." Since some one was behind me.

I have not asked for a volunteer because I have been so busy and did not know I needed to ask for one. People in class help me from car to class and from class to car.

Heidi

I HAve offered several suggestions to Josh in the past regarding handicapped parking.



First: Always arrive early on campus. Early arrival would give Josh more time to find an available spot, perhaps one nearer to his classes in Combs. It’s difficult when your in a rush and can cause one to be late for classes. Josh has the additional task of getting a volunteer to help him lift his chair out of the car. I suggest that he arrive one hour before his first class.



Second: In addition to designated handicapped parking spaces, Josh is allowed to park in faculty and staff spots. Combs does see some movement in spaces. His major classes are in Combs so that may be the best place to look.



Third: Be familiar with all the designated handicapped spaces. We have a map that indicates where they are.



Additional help: Josh has NOT met with one of our staff in the Disabilities Office this semester for academic accommodation. In this regard he has NOT had the conversation that may offer him more assistance. We have several volunteers who may help him, if he were to ask.



RE: Josh’ appeal. The class room and the building was/ is accessible. Josh is responsible to get to class like all other students. If his claim includes any inaccessible issues, this is simply not the case.


Thanks, Teresa

Importance: High



Good Morning Mark & Teresa.



Joshua Robinson, a second year student who happens to have some significant physical challenges, recently spoke to me about his problem trying to secure parking close to academic building at the 9:30 a.m. hour despite his having a handicapped parking pass. Joshua is not only wheelchair bound, but he has some language challenges as well and as I understand it, does not have the luxury of an electric wheelchair or a vehicle with an electronic lift. Consequently, he has to haul his manually wheelchair around in his trunk and due to recent back and neck surgery is unable to extract the wheelchair from his car without assistance of others and because he doesn’t have an aid that follows him around everywhere, he tends to be at the mercy of others who just happen along at the right time to help him not only get his wheelchair out his car, but to help him get to class quickly if he’s behind schedule. This challenge is further exasperated when he is unable to secure a parking a spot close to the academic buildings and he’s hopeful that someone can help him with that. Is there anyway either of you can do or suggest that might assist him in this matter????



Joshua is currently appealing the Withdrawal Committee for a retroactive withdrawal from a 9:30 class during the fall ’06 semester due to similar circumstances that he claims resulted in attendance issues that negatively impacted his grades. It would appear that he’s trying to avoid being faced with a similar situation this semester.



Thank you for your consideration. I’m sure Joshua would appreciate any assistance or recommendations.

I was late for my 9:30 a.m. class this morning because of parking. Luckily my teacher understands so far my teachers are understanding with me.

I have pictures on my digital camera of the parking lot and even a couple cars that was parked illegal. However, I got a ticket because I parked on university drive. I want to appeal the parking tickets that I got because of the parking situation

If you like I can show you my pictures just call me 606 682 1122. I do want to show you the pictures either in person or by email.

Mrs. Terry, can you please call, email, or send a letter to the parking office. You did tell me to come to you with any problems well I am. I want to keep my 9:30 class but the parking is crazy especially when I use a wheelchair. Some of the people that have eku handicap permits some can walk just fine.

I had to draft some one to help me in my first class today she could not really understand me but she finally got the point.
