Public eye

doughty35 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:12:47 +0000

Being in the public eye is hazardous. I met a woman recently who said, “let me introduce you to my daughter, she’s in college now, she grew up watching you on TV.” And at least once a week a viewer will comment on my weight. In my 20s, I’d hear you look better in person, lately I hear you look better on TV. And then there are those who just stare not sure where they’ve seen you. I’m just a reporter; those poor TV anchors can’t even throw out the trash. JMD

Prayer For The Missing

Dear God:

We ask of you,
keep our loved ones safe and sound,
let no harm come before they are found.

They are lost from their family,
from the ones they love,
return them home,
and protect them from above.

Place your loving arms around them today,
guide them safely back home,
to you this we pray.

God Bless the Missing!
