________________________________________________________ {Straight From the Heart} *Reflections on November* 11/30/00 If you enjoy this free daily email service, I encourage you to spread the word to family and friends, that we may bring inspiration into the lives of many! I appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism, so feel free to write me (Michael T. Powers) and let me know what you think! Just joined us and want to see all the past stories we've run? Visit our inspirational website at: One of my basketball players had a really bad today... She has one of those mile-long country driveways that take her out to the main road, and she had a little trouble staying on it. In fact she had a lot of trouble staying on it and ended up in the cornfield. In her defense, we had snow and sleet last night so I am sure the road was slippery, and it had nothing to do with the fact that she just started driving a few months ago. Then at school she playfully pushed a young man into the wall as they were walking in the halls in between classes. Which is usually not that big of deal, unless of course that young man's shoulder should bump up against the fire alarm. Then it tends to become a bigger deal...(She didn't get in trouble though, since it was an accident...) Then after school, she accidentally sets off the car alarm of her friends car... And to top everything off, she comes back to the school later for basketball practice and has to deal with me as her coach. ******************** Just thought I would share two shorter articles today by one of our favorite writers Mary Emma Allen....

I can't remember who sent it to me, but wanted to make sure I shared with everyone. Breast Cancer
Michael, (Update 9/20/00) According to Michael's Uncle, Mark Novenche, there is some good news today...although the prayers are still needed. Little Michael had his most recent checkup and there is evidence that the remnant of the tumor has decreased in size. Mark said this is Michael's six-month check since the surgery and that it would have been good news if there had simply been no change, no further growth. For there to be shrinkage of the tumor is not only good news, but a type of news that few people outside of Michael's praying family and friends would have anticipated when they got mostly bleak news at the time the tumor was first discovered. Blessings, From: kate@global2000.net (Kate & Andrew) As mentioned earlier, my husband and I have been trying to have any children Kate & Andrew Thought For The Day: "Patience is the companion of wisdom."

"I thought of you first after my family sat down to watch the video we gave them. They loved it, to say the least! Within thirty seconds my mom was crying and my dad did too. They said it was the best Christmas gift we could have given them!! You did such a beautiful job! They were so surprised and so touched---they really, really, really loved it. Thanks for helping to make it so special to us all. My mom mentioned how the songs were perfect for the video too! Thanks again!" Let me make you a video from your pictures or home movies!
