I still, to this day, remember these wonderful people. I cannot get their images, their spirit, and the song that Anna was singing out of my mind. If everyone in this world was just as these two people are, this plannet would be as wonderful as God made it to be.

Wow. Guess some people really can make lemonade out of lemons. I wish I were more like that, maybe something I should work on.

[auto power]

Wonderful story...prayers to all....

[mwyounce]

Thanks for a wonderful post!

WKB: Mississippi ping!

[Hegemony Cricket]

Just one word - WOW!

[RetiredArmy]

Now folks, that is truly, two wonderful Americans. Pray for them and their very successful new lives in VA. Thanks for the report. I dare say we will not see it on the MSM. Fantastic people.

[NavySEAL F-16]

Remarkable story. Remarkable people.

God's blessings on Anna and Joe.

Lyrics for Song: I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs
I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day;
I don't borrow from it's sunshine,
For it's skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future, For I know what Jesus said;
And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what lies ahead

(chorus)
Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand

Ev'ry step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb; ev'ry burden's getting lighter,
Ev'ry cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow, Where the mountains touch the sky.

(chorus)

I have just sent a email to a South Carolina newspaper, (The Whitmore News), and another to Common Ground Christian News with permission for them to print this in their papers.

PING!! Good read

[Cagey]

I am a truck driver.

And, one hell of a good writer. Thanks for putting your experience into words here. I really enjoyed reading it.

Just what I said. There are some really good people on the highways. When we were traveling cross country back in the late eighties, we met many people who seemed to have the same type qualities as these people. Several of them we still exchange Christmas cards with every year 'til this day. I miss being on the road. We were on the road that time for almost a year. Perhaps I should take up truck driving so I can do it again. This time get paid for it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is the difference between people who rely on God and themselves and people who rely on the government.

[NonValueAdded]

Wow, BTTT

[RetiredArmy]

Good man. Hope the word gets out. The WORLD needs to see that all Americans suffering from this did not whine, gripe, take from others, steal, loot, rape, murder, riot, shoot at rescuers, attend strip clubs with the $2,000 credit cards, stick out their lazy hands, or whine with Jessie and the Rev Al. That they actually took the bull by the horns, and said, I have to do this myself, no one else is. Just shows the strong metal these folks are made of.

[hophead]

Wonderful American couple. They were giving away handouts instead of asking for them. What a difference in people.

Great story ~ this is the real America ~ Bump!

This is the type of story the MSM will never tell you.
