One Man, 30 Kidneys

Rick Ruzzamenti of California met a woman who had just donated her kidney to a friend she had bumped into at a Target store. Her kind generosity inspired Rick, so he decided to donate a kidney to a person in need of one. The beneficiary turned out to be an anonymous 66 year old man in Livingston, NJ.

Here's where the story takes a remarkable turn. The NJ man's niece, Teresa, had hoped to give her uncle her kidney but their bloodwork did not match. She was touched by Ruzzamenti's kindness in helping her uncle, so she decided to donate a kidney to someone else too. That recipient turned out to be Brooke, who lives in Michigan. 

And the kidney chain of donations took off from there. Brooke's friend then donated a kidney to a woman whose husband then donated a kidney, and so on and so on. In the end, because of Rick Ruzzamenti's kind thought and generous act, 30 donors were inspired to share kidneys with 30   >>>>>   Read Entire Post

What are we feeding our children?

It has happened again. This week in Ohio, with at least two students shot dead in their school cafeteria and others apparently saved by a heroic coach who risked his life to protect kids. School shootings are now so commonplace that we almost don't notice them in the news anymore.

After Columbine, a friend of mine asked our group, "What are we feeding our children? They must be ingesting something deadly that is killing them. For surely school shooters are dead on the inside before they could so such a thing."

He's right. It's not our physical food that is tainted and deadly so much as it is our spiritual food. Some will blame guns, some will call for more school security, some will blame the media. But I think it is the food. 

I'm talking about the steady diet we have been feeding our children for 50 years now. Moral relativism, humanism, secularism, atheism, agnosticism, self-esteemism,   >>>>>   Read Entire Post

How to Avoid Poverty in 3 Easy Steps

How do you avoid poverty in three easy steps? I have learned the answer. And it is more important today than ever before not only because of a tough economy but because of the recent news that more than 4 out of 10 kids are born out of wedlock in America today.

A friend from the Georgia Family Council shared with me the research that shows if you do three simple things, you have just an 8% chance of living in poverty at some point in your life. Fail in just one of these three, and your likelihood of poverty explodes to 79%.

The three things?

1) Finish high school

2) Marry after the age of 20

3) Wait until marriage to have kids.

Tell your son; teach your daughter. Inspire your grandkids. Simple decisions and actions make all the   >>>>>   Read Entire Post
