Save Lives, Check Your Furnace

http://www.rd.com/content/openContent.do?contentId=18069

Check you Furnace!!! My family was sick for a week or two recently and it turned out our furnace had a gas leak and was venting CO2. But for the grace of Allah, we could have all died. If you have not had your furnace checked this winter I would advise you do so as soon as possible. The life you save may be our own.

Happy Thanks Giving Day. But Never Forget What Happened After That Day!

After the First Thanks Giving the Native People had their Land and Lives taken away to make room for more Thanks Givings for the White People. And the Red People ended up on the Reservations. Where would you rather live?

What happened after those early Thanks Givings should always be remembered. Native People went from Freedom to the Res. That is important to acknowledge while we give thanks on both sides of the Reservations. Never Forget. And if you do not know the history of what happened after that first Thanks Giving spend some time today learning the true history of the White and Red peoples relationships. Then try to make things better for ALL the people of the Earth.

What we can also do with what has happened is to make it better by seeing Thanks Giving in different ways. Turn the poison of history into good medicine and food by giving thanks for all the GOOD in our lives and the world.

Happy Thanks Giving Day to all of you and yours. I suggest using some of this day to thank God and the people in your life who you value and love. I am going to do that. And Chamki, I want to say how very much I appreciate you and all the help you have given me on this blog and in my life.
