You know I have mentioned LifeSkills a few times already and have spoken at a Benefit Dinner of over 250 people for them - well now is my time to REALLY delve into the man LifeSkills has taught me to be!!

This summer I have the opportunity to work for an organization called xxxchurch. Their website is xxxchurch.com and it is an organization that helps those who are struggling with the issues of pornography and gets people who are in the industry OUT of it!!!!!

It is my hope and prayer that this summer, 2009, will be the summer of a lifetime once again - which may lead me to hand out Bibles at porn conventions, speak, update webpages, photography, etc. This volunteer position is kind of up in the air with what I may be doing… all I hope and pray for now is that God may use me and my talents to help others who are struggling and work for a fantastic ministry.

PLEASE check out xxxchurch.com today,

“Flying car goes to market”
A Boston-area company plans to begin flight tests this year of a two-seater airplane that moonlights as a car. The illustration shows the aptly-named Transition aircraft, wings partially unfolded, as it shifts from road-worthy to air-worthy. The vehicle carries a price tag of $194,000. You sit down behind the steering wheel, drive to the runway, unfold two wings and take off. You can fly 500 miles on a tank of gas — regular unleaded — and when you land, you simply fold up the wings and drive where you want to go. At the end of the day, you fly back, drive home and park inside your garage. Read the whole story here!

“Woman finds 139-year-old baseball card in box of antiques”
Last summer, Bernice Gallego pulled an old baseball card from a box of antiques. She figured it might be worth something to someone, so she listed it on eBay. The starting bid was $10. But after getting a flurry of inquiries about whether the card was authentic or not, Gallego started to suspect she was holding something a little more valuable and immediately ended the auction. Turns out her hunch was correct. She did have something more valuable. The card she found was made in 1869 and featured the “Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati,” the sport’s first professional team. It’s considered one of the first baseball cards ever produced and its actual value could be worth more than $100,000 when she puts it back on eBay (with a higher starting price, of course).
