The Big Guy's in the Back The Pope flies into Washington's Dulles Airport and is picked up by a long limousine. Climbing in, he tells the driver how he's always wanted to drive one. The driver gives in, offers the pontiff the wheel and gets in the back seat. As the limo speeds down the highway to Washington, the Holy Father sees rotating lights in the rear-view mirror. He pulls over and as the police officer sees the driver, he goes back to his car and radios for instructions. "I've just pulled someone over very, very important," the officer advises headquarters. "Is it the President?" the dispatcher asks. "More important," the officer insists. "Just how important?" asks the voice on the radio. "Well, I can't tell you for sure," says the officer. "But the Pope is driving his limo."

Learn Sarver Heart Center's Continuous Chest Compression CPR Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

Whiners When my grandmother was raising me in Stamps, Arkansas, she had a particular routine when people who were known to be whiners entered her store. My grandmother would ask the customer, "How are you doing today, Brother Thomas?" And the person would reply, "Not so good today, Sister Henderson. You see, it's this summer heat. I just hate it. It just frazzles me up and frazzles me down. It's almost killing me." Then my grandmother would stand stoically, her arms folded, and mumble, "Uh-huh, uh-huh." And she would cut her eyes at me to make certain that I had heard the lamentation. As soon as the complainer was out of the store, my grandmother would call me to stand in front of her. And then she would say the same thing she had said at least a thousand times, it seemed to me. "Sister, did you hear what Brother So-and-So or Sister Much-to-Do complained about?" And I would nod. Mamma would continue, "Sister, there are people who went to sleep all over the world last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again. And those dead folks would give anything, anything at all for just five minutes of this weather that person was grumbling about. So you watch yourself about complaining, Sister. What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain." It is said that persons have few teachable moments in their lives. Mamma seemed to have caught me at each one I had. Whining is not only graceless, but can be dangerous. It can alert a brute that a victim is in the neighborhood. By Maya Angelou from Condensed Chicken Soup for the Soul Copyright 1996 by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen & Patty Hansen
