~~~    From the Editor      ~~~

Hello from Higher Ground Summer Camp.  Athena and I help to organize
and run this camp each summer.  It takes an amazing amount of work
and effort but when you see the faces of these 150 plus campers at
the end of the week, it is always well worth all the resources we
pumped into it.

Find an outlet for the gifts and talents God has given you.  It will
be very rewarding and fulfilling.  If you feel like something is
*missing* in your life, that just might be it.

Have a giving week.  — Michael

~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~

Grand Entrance
by Joseph Stigora
http://theromantic.com/

Each year for our anniversary my wife and I get the same room at the
Mendenhall Inn that we had on our wedding night.  We have dinner at
the restaurant and spend the next day at Longwood Gardens armed with
a camera to take a roll of romantic pictures.  We have a photo album
with pictures from each of our anniversaries and it is fun to look
back and remember.

Each year I also try to make the arrival at the
hotel unique.  For our fourth year I arrived early and set up her
wedding gown on a dress maker’s mannequin.  I set up a CD player
with our song on it and kept the remote control in my pocket.  I set
out some hummus and pita slices and sparking grape juice and then
went to pick up my wife.  As we walked in the room, I used the
remote to start the music.  She was so surprised to see her wedding
gown all set up in the room.  We danced to our song and have
wonderful memories of the day.

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!

Please note… these are all numbered “1” ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1.  Learn to work the toilet seat.  You’re a big girl.  If it’s up,
put it down.  We need it up, you need it down.  You don’t hear us
complaining about you leaving it down.

1.  Sunday sports.  It’s like the full moon or the changing of the
tides.  Let it be..

1.  Shopping is NOT a sport.  And no, we are never going to think of
it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1.  Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.

1.  Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That’s what we do.  Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1.  Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1.  If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t
expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are..  Don’t ask us.
