POPSPeople Who Try to Make Difference
While we cannot "save the whole world," I am from the school of thought that we should do everything "where we live" to make that place as good as it possibly can be...by our positive actions and interactions with others. Here are some people who are taking it upon themselves to "Meet-Up" and try to make a difference in the world they live in. I like what they have to say about the matter... It's refreshing to actually put a face on human compassion and giving nature. It's also "interesting" how the Fall Season and certain "holiday" times of the year bring about an awareness of the need to "help others" - that's great, but not to be overlooked is the fact that there are individuals who need assistance all year long from other people who already "have it together" a little bit better than they do, and can give needed direction and attention to those less fortunate. I find myself right now absolutely swamped with "charity stuff". We call October "the start of charity month

POPSWhat does "Love and Light" Mean? I always get emails signed "with Love and Light" and wondered exactly what does this mean. This explanation helps us understand the concept a little better. It's an interesting perspective, as we were always taught the opposite of "love and light" is "sin and darkness" and other wicked stuff. Well, in some cultures, and tribal cultures especially, there is no evil associated with the "darkness" other than that it is the necessary part of and opposite of the light - we need both and both serve a purpose.

POPS2008 Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Resolves Conflicts "Ahtisaari was the third (or fourth) Finnish person receiving the Nobel Prize" - I wonder what he thinks about Global Warming? All kidding aside, it's great to know that this year a man of dedicated "conflict resolution" will be honored. He is being honored for his proven track record in helping people and leading nations...not just "talking about the weather". Bravo!

Read her "Only in the Lowcountry" report and check out the pics from the Google Grand Opening Gala Event.

POPSThe East Coast Condo Bible I just found the mother load of east coast condo living, quite by accident, at that! Every year my hubby and I make the journey to our favorite condo destination for two weeks of nothing but GLORY. We go to our condo in Perdido Key, Gulf Shores. We call it "Our Blue Heaven". White sand. Clean beaches. Good Neighbors. Lately, our vacation time has come later in the year during inclement weather. I was looking for an affordable place to take a holiday...and poof - I found the honey-pot of all condo living sites. This company has few places to rent that are near and dear to my heart like "ILoveFolly Beach.com" - what a find. It's like the east caost condo bible. Everything you always wanted to know about traveling to a southern beach vacation condo...and then some.

POPSGreg Mathis Charter School Saves Students with Nowhere Else to Turn - Charleston Public Schools What are the students saying about Greg Mathis Charter School? Senior Monique Johnson is in her second year at Greg Mathis and is slated to graduate in May. She could've gone to her neighborhood high school, but she said her focus wasn't as good in a large school. Greg Mathis has smaller classes that help her to concentrate on class, she said. "It's been a blessing because I really had nowhere else to go," she said.

Mr. Sellers is a very nice Gentleman. He will answer your questions and if they cannot help you for some reason, rest assured, they will direct you to someone who can. After speaking with Mr. Sellers today, I am deeply convinced that Greg Mathis Charter School of N.

POPSThe Best Moral Practices of a Leader
I came a cross this article about a SC school superintendent who got pregnant out of wedlock during her watch over a school system that has tremendous problems with teen pregnancy. Some wanted her resignation. Others championed her defense. If that incident leads to some to shout, "Credibility Lost - you don't have the right to lead" - then what of a Vice President, potential Leader of the Free World, not being able to manage her own Family, and producing a pregnant teenager? How can you raise up a Nation when you cannot even raise up and protect your own children? Well, teenagers are sneaky and have a mind of their own. Perhaps US Gov. Palin, the Mother of FIVE kids ought to hire a nanny to watch her kids since she cannot supervise and protect her own brood. Why is it okay to add yet another teen pregnanacy to our Nation's ills? Should all officials in high office be expected to lead by example? Are these just old fashioned ideals of the past? When did we lower

POPSGas Shortage in South Carolina - Update The Southeast is served by the Colonial Pipeline that is the primary supplier for North and South Carolina. Matters of fact, two pipelines carry fuel from the Gulf of Mexico and because the gasoline moves from 3 to 5 mph, it can take days to reach southern cities. "I was just in Atlanta yesterday. There is no gasoline in Atlanta, in Charlotte, in Chattanooga. It's like a Third World country," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said last Sunday on ABC.
