Angie's List

Looking for a plumber, house cleaner, hair stylist, contractor or other business/service provider but don't know where to turn? It's always hard to choose when you don't know anything about a company. Well, look no further than Angie's List. On this website you can read reviews of area professionals and businesses to see what their other customers think about them. You can also leave reviews of companies. There is a small fee to join Angie's List, but since it is new to this area you can sign up for a limited time and get a free one year membership. I did and it's quick and painless. Here's where you go to sign up or for more info:

Chick-fil-a Kyle Petty Charity Ride

The event at the Mall on Sunday, 7/30 was fantastic. Although it was quite hot, everyone had a great time. I got to meet lots of people including Brian Littrell, Kyle Petty, Richard Petty and Dan Cathy-the President of Chick-Fil-A. But, I think I was most excited to meet Patty Petty. I so admire her determination to create beauty from the pain in her life. That drive has led to the creation of the Victory Junction Gang Camp... a truly amazing place.

Congratulations to Kyle and Patty for the completion of another successful ride across America. Welcome Home!

90 Minutes in Heaven

Today we talked to Don Piper about his book, "90 Minutes in Heaven."

He talks about the experience of being in heaven, the long and painful road to recovery following the accident and how all of it has changed his life.
