Cute, huh? Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so
love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance,
take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it.'

A 17-year-old boy who lost three games of FIFA against his brother later broke into the home of a 65-year-old woman and, armed with an knife and an axe, stabbed the woman several times in the back, stomach and leg.
We've all had moments of video game rage when we may have gone overboard and thrown a controller, but what you're about to read is reprehensible. According to the DailyMail, James Callaghan, 17 at the time, lost three games of FIFA 2008 against his younger brother.
While it's unclear as to how he received the losses from the video game, Callaghan later consumed a bottle of vodka and stormed out of his home with a knife and axe. The teenager went on a rampage, threatening strangers who passed him by.
Callaghan had threatened teenage girls, cyclists and attacked a 20-year old man, all who managed to eventually escape. Sadly, Callaghan forced his way into the home of 65-year-old Irene Roberton, whom he struck six times on the head with the axe, chopped off a finger and repeatedly stabbed in the back, stomach and leg.
Those familiar with Callaghan said that he had a history of violence after consuming alcohol. Callaghan, who is now termed a schizophrenic, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and unlawful wounding and is now in a high security mental hospital.
The DailyMail also added in that Callaghan had once played Grand Theft Auto, though we're certain this teen has problems that extend way beyond the influence of any video game.

Their father was gone.
The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two.
Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared..
Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would
scramble to hide under their beds.
He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.
Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no
food either.
If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I
certainly knew nothing about it.
I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best
homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to
find a job.
The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small
town.
No luck.
The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to
convince who ever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I
had to have a job.
Still no luck. The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was
an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop.
It was called the Big Wheel.
An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window
from time to time at all those kids.
She needed someone on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the
morning.
She paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night.
I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for
people.
I bargained with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night.
She could arrive with her pajamas on and the kids would already be asleep
This seemed like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal.
That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers, we all
thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so I started at the Big Wheel.
When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home
with one dollar of my tip money-- fully half of what I averaged every night.
As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage.
The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons and began
to leak. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every
morning before I could go home.
One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found
four tires in the back seat. New tires!
There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires.
Had angels taken up residence in Indiana ? I wondered.
I made a deal with the local service station.
In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up his office.
I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it did for him to
do the tires.
I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough.
Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for the
kids.
I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some old toys.
Then I hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to
deliver on Christmas morning.
Clothes were a worry too. I was sewing patches on top of patches on the boys
pants and soon they would be too far gone to repair.
On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel.
There were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe.
A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were
dropping nickels in the pinball machine.
The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the
morning and then left to get home before the sun came up.
When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning, to
my amazement, my old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of
all shapes and sizes.
I quickly opened the driver's side door, crawled inside and kneeled in the
front facing the back seat.
Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box.
Inside was a whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10!
I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans.
Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes. There was candy and nuts and
bananas and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and
canned vegetables and potatoes.
There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour. There was
whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items.
And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll.
As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on the most
amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude.
And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious
morning.
Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all hung
out at the Big Wheel truck stop....
THE POWER OF PRAYER. I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer:
1. 'Yes!'
2. 'Not yet.'
3. 'I have something better in mind.'
God still sits on the throne, the devil is a liar.
You may be going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to
bless you in a way that you cannot imagine.
My instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to bless, and I
picked you.
This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards
Let's continue to pray for one another. Here is the prayer:....
Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies reading
this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power.
Amen.
Not just a sport-obsessed young woman, Anna Rawson was also blessed with an
attractive look and, in 1997, she entered a contest for Dolly, an Australian
magazine. Although Anna Rawson didn't win, she made the finals in the
competition and began getting offers to model for television commercials and
on television. While modeling was quickly becoming a major activity for Anna
Rawson, she didn't neglect her golf and, in 1999, she won the Victorian
Junior and South Australian championships as a member of Australia's
National Senior Squad.
anna rawson attends university of southern california
In 2000, Anna Rawson was invited to participate in the Australian Open,
which got the attention of USC. With a plane ticket to California and a golf
scholarship to her name, she moved to California to further her education
and play a substantial amount of golf.
In four years at USC, Anna Rawson earned multiple honorable mentions from
the All-Pac-10 and, in 2003, she led her school's golf team to their
first-ever national championship. Anna Rawson got to celebrate at the White
House and she wrapped up her USC years with a degree in Communications and a
minor in Fine Arts.
With USC wrapped up, Anna Rawson was intent on a full-fledged golf career.
With the help of her coach, Brady Riggs, she traveled to China for the
Orient Masters. Anna Rawson made the top 10 in her debut and continued on
with the Futures Tour, where she finished the year in the top 25 for
scoring. Her success trickled over to the Ladies European Tour, which she
joined in 2006.
anna rawson joins the lpga tour
The Ladies European Tour was home to Anna Rawson for two solid years that
included three finishes in the top 20 out of a mere 11 events in her very
first season. One of Anna Rawson's golf dreams had always been to join the
LPGA Tour, with her closest attempt having come in 2004. She tried again in
2007 and subsequently won conditional status on the 2008 tour. This meant
that she'd be involved with close to a dozen tournaments throughout the
year.
Anna Rawson wasn't spending all of her time on golf. She kept up her
modeling by appearing in shoots for Emirates Women and Interview Magazine,
and has written regular golf pieces for global magazines. She's also the
proud creator of very her own clothing line with J. Lindeberg.

This is very real.
I locked my car.
As I walked away I heard my car door unlock.
I went back and locked my car again three times.
Each time, as soon as I started to walk away, I would hear it unlock again!!
Naturally alarmed, I looked around and there were two guys
sitting in a car in the fire lane next to the store.
They were obviously watching me intently, and there was no doubt they were
somehow involved in this very weird situation.
I quickly chucked the errand I was on, jumped in my car and sped away.
I went straight t o the police station, told them what had happened, and
found out I was part of a new, and very successful, scheme being used to gain entry into cars.
Two weeks later, my friend's son had a similar happening....
While traveling, my friend's son stopped at a roadside rest to use the bathroom.
When he came out to his car less than 4-5 minutes
later, someone had gotten into his car and stolen his cell phone,
laptop computer, GPS navigator, briefcase......you name it.
He called the police and since there were no signs of his car being
broken into, the police told him he had been a victim of the latest
robbery tactic -- there is a device that robbers are using now to
clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using
your key-chain locking device..
They sit a distance away and watch for their next victim.
They know you are going inside of the store, restaurant,
or bathroom and that they now have a few minutes to steal and run.
The police officer said to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock button
inside the car -- that way if there is someone sitting in a parking
lot watching for their next victim, it will not be you.
When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting, it does not send the
security code, but if you walk away and use the door lock on your key
chain, it sends the code through the airwaves where it can be
instantly stolen..
Be wisely aware of what you just read and please pass this note on. Look
how many times we all lock our doors with our remote just to be sure
we remembered to lock them -- and bingo, someone has our code...and
whatever was in our car.

While walking down the street one day, a 'Member of Parliament' is tragically hit by a truck and dies..
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,' says the MP.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the MP. 'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable!
What happened?'
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we were campaigning.. ..
Today, you voted.'
