Hello Brothers and Sisters... I just wanted to share a story with you that really shows God's presence. Back in 1991, my Grandfather died. he was always misplacing things. well one thing he was always micplacing was his keys. it seemed like everyday he couldnt find them. so he decided to get a set made and have a clip added so they would attach to his belt. it was kinda funny, cause you could always hear him coming from a mile away. The day after his funeral, my grandmother was cleaning up and going thru some of his stuff, and lo and behold she found the keys that he had been looking for - in a jacket in the closet. she broke down and cried, but she knew why she found them when she did. well this brings us to yesterday. Maggies moms funeral was monday and maggie is still hurting and wanted to go thru pictures. so we went thru a big box of pictures yesterday, but there was a photo album she couldnt find. so we started to look for it. in our bedroom closet there is a big box on the corner of the top shelf. on the outside is written "fragile - dishes" but i knew there were no dishes in it. so i decided to pull the box down. after everything on top of the box fell on me (lol), i placed it on the bed. when i opened it, maggie burst into joyful tears - inside was some photos that her and her mom and brother had gotten at sears almost 10 yrs ago. she had forgotten about these pics. but i know someone who didnt. Thank you Lord Almighty i just wanted to share this with my friends to let you know, even in tragedy and loss, God is still there!!!! Todd
As Many of my friends know, Maggies mom was in the hospital for a few months. on Feb 2, 2007 at 1:20pm ET, she became an Angel and returned Home to live in peace and harmony with our Lord and Savior. This is a very trying time for Maggie and her family. I wish that all of you will continue to pray for the family. Maggie was VERY close to her mom. Last night she came home from visiting her at the hospital and told me that she told her mom to just let go, take His hand and move on. She also told me that it was hard to have to say goodbye to her best friend. I knew her mom for about 4 and a half years. She really loved Maggie and adored our little Bradley. Bradley also loved hid Gran. We last saw her about 2 weeks ago, and Sarah was not very responsive for a long time, but she was that day, just seeing Bradley put a huge smile on her face. God Bless you and May you live on in all our memories forever A friend sent me this poem and it fits well God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
Just wanted to share with you all that today is my daughter Corrin's 7th Bday. I love her so much and just wanted to send her out a quick Birthday wish. I love you Corrin, hope your birthday goes well Daddy 
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI has called a meeting Thursday with top Vatican officials to discuss lifting the celibacy requirement for priests seeking to marry or who have already married. Benedict called the summit to examine the implications of the "disobedience" of Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo, the Zambian prelate excommunicated in September for installing four married American men as bishops, the Vatican said Monday. The Vatican stressed the meeting would not open a general discussion of the celibacy requirement but would only examine requests for dispensation made by priests wishing to marry and requests for readmission made by clergy who had married in recent years. Milingo first angered the Holy See in 2001, when he married a South Korean acupuncturist chosen for him by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church. He renounced that union -- at a group wedding in New York -- on an appeal from Pope John Paul II a few months later. Milingo disappeared from his residence outside Rome in June, resurfacing a month later in Washington, D.C., to announce he was back with his wife and was championing the cause of married priests through his new advocacy group "Married Priests Now." Milingo said the Catholic Church should embrace more than 150,000 married priests worldwide in part to ease the ongoing clergy shortage and to elevate the sanctity of marriage. The Vatican said in September that Milingo and the four men he ordained as bishops were "automatically excommunicated" under church law. The Vatican added that it did not recognize the ordination of the four -- the Rev. George Augustus Stallings Jr. of Washington; Peter Paul Brennan of New York; Patrick Trujillo of Newark, N.J.; and Joseph Gouthro of Las Vegas -- and would not recognize any ordinations by those men in the future. Under Vatican teaching, the authority to name bishops rests with the pope. The church also requires celibacy of its priests ordained under the Latin rite. The Synod of Bishops in October 2005 rejected suggestions that the mandatory celibacy requirement for priests be dropped. But Milingo's excommunication has brought the issue back into the spotlight.

Hi there. I would like to take this time to introduce (if you dont already know them) the most important people to me. My Fiancee Maggie and our son Bradley. I met Maggie thru a telephone dating service 4 years ago. I had just ended a relationship that ended badly. She was so kind and understanding, that we hit it off right away. We had started spending alot of time together. She has meant the world to me for this since day 1. She has been there to comfort me in all my trying times and i hope will be there for me for a long time. Our son Bradley is a miracle. Maggie was told she would have less than a 2% chance of concieving, and even less than that to carry full term, due to cervical cancer. well she beat the odds (thank you our dear Lord) and Bradley came into the world in 2003. he has been a blessing to us every day since. Well the 1 thing that I most appreciate Maggie for is she has led me to where in needed to be, and that was Jesus. She helped me discover what His love was all about. something i had rejected for years. Because of this, I am saved and am happy to be that way. Maggie and Bradley, I love you both so much. I am so glad God has placed you both in my life. Maggie and Bradley I dont know where i would be without you 2. Thank you God for these 2 special treasures Todd

Back in the late 90's, there was a bill for all allegheny county residents to vote on. it stated that to build 2 new stadiums, they would need the publics help to fund the project. so they wanted to increase sales tax in the county from 6% to 7%. I totally did not think we needed new stadiums as three rivers stadium was less than 30 yrs old at the time. well when election day came, the Public spoke!!!! We overwhelmingly voted against the tax increase. so the city said they were going with plan B. THEY INCREASED THE SALES TAX ANYWAY!!!!! so this is why i dont vote. this proves to me that my vote doesnt count. that we as voters dont matter. when they want something so bad they will just do it. PNC PARK, Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates 
Heinz Field - Home og the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pitt Panthers 
What they replaced - Three Rivers Stadium 1970 - 2001 - in my opinion - never should have been replaced 
thanks for your time fols and have a Blessed day Todd
