Specially you
: my new phone craze :
came across this email. which you might have probably read it off somewhere. it's true. you are special.
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200,
he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special- Don't EVER forget it."

FISH STORY FROM WICHITA EAGLE NEWSPAPER
This strange-but-true story was in The Sunday Wichita Eagle Newspaper a couple of weeks ago. It took place in a housing development around 119th St. South and Maple.
A resident in the area saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange on the development's pond and went to investigate. He found a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a child's basketball which became lodged in it's mouth. The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive but was unable to do so because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. The resident tried numerous times to get the ball out of the fish's mouth but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the catfish.
