But if I were to tell, you wouldn’ un-derstand. But one thing is for certain, though my life one earth is o’er. I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too, that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night ... “My day was not in vain.” And now I am contented ... that my life has been worth-while, knowing as I passed along the way, I made some-body smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you’re walking down the street, and you’ve got me on your mind; I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it’s time for you to go ... from that body to be free, remember you’re not go-ing ... you’re coming here to me.

For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.” James was writing to re-mind us of the danger of mak-ing plans for the future with-out including God in them. Our lives can be quickly turned upside down by an ac-cident, illness or some other unforseen event. As we plan for the future, which we should do, let's make sure we ask God if what we are planning is His will for our lives. And as we plan for the future, let's make sure we live in the pres-ent and do all we can do for the Lord today.

To celebrate, you may want to present your loved ones with chocolates, flowers or any number of oth-er traditional gifts, but if your valentine also happens to be your spouse or your life part-ner, you also might want to show your love in another way – by making sure you have adequate insurance. Just consider some of the things that life insurance can do for you and your family: Pay off your mortgage. With sufficient life insurance, your family can remain in their home should anything happen to you. Educate your children. College is expensive, and it seems to get more costly every year. If you were to die prematurely, your life insur-ance proceeds could help pay for your children’s education. Help fund retirement. Term insurance consists of just a death benefit. but “per-manent” insurance policies, such as whole life or univer-sal life, a tax-advantaged sav-ings component that could help pay for your retirement and help keep you financial-ly independent – which means you won’t have to wor-ry about being a “burden” to your grown children. Further-more, proceeds from your life insurance policy coul help your surviving spouse retire more comfortably. Help protect your busi-ness. If you’re involved in a family-owned business en-terprise, you can structure a life insurance policy to help preserve the business or transfer it to the next gener-ation. Pay for estate taxes. If your estate is sizable, it could generate estate taxes. Life in-surance proceeds can help your heirs pay these taxes. Clearly, life insurance of-fers a variety of benefits. But how much do you need? And what type do you need? You might hear that your cover-age should be worth around seven or eight times your an-nual salary. But there’s real-ly no one-size-fits-all formu-la. In determining how much life insurance you require, you should consider your age, your income, the size of your family, the amount of your mortgage, whether your spouse has a retirement ac-count, your financial goals and other factors. Your finan-cial advisor can help you as-sess these variables to deter-mine the appropriate level of coverage. One final word on life in-surance: don’t wait too long before purchasing a policy or upgrading your existing one. Your life insurance premium is based, in part, on your age, so the sooner you act, the better. Also, the time to buy life insurance is while you are healthy, because poor health could prevent you from ob-taining coverage. As important as it is, life insurance isn’t the only pro-tection you and your loved ones may need. During your working years, you are actu-ally more likely to become temporarily disabled, due to injury or illness, than you are to die. If you weren’t able to work for a while, you could help your family maintain its lifestyle if you had an ade-quate disability income in-surance policy. Your employ-er might offer you some cov-erage as a benefit, but it might not be sufficient, ei-ther in terms of income or the length of the disability covered. Consequently, you may want to explore an individual dis-ability insurance policy. When you think of roman-tic Valentine’s Day presents, “insurance” probably does-n’t pop up right away. Yet, by making sure you’ve got all the coverage you need, you may actually be giving your loved ones the greatest gift they’ll ever receive. CLASSIFIEDS SELL FAST IN THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS DESHONG In loving memory of Ross DeShong, who went home to be with the Lord on March 23, 2007, on his 86th birthday February 10: Letter From Heaven To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say, but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I’m writ-ing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there’s no more tears of sad-ness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight. Remember that I’m with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life one earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, “I welcome you.” It’s good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on. I need you here bad-ly; you’re part of my plan. There’s so much that we have to do, to help our mor-tal man.” God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day’s chores put to flight. God and I are clos-est to you ... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life one earth, and all those lov-ing years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you In Memory PennDOT Details Modernization Efforts On New Web Page PennDOT’s efforts to modernize and improve the way it does business – ensur-ing the efficient use of tax-payer dollars –are detailed on a new Web page announced last week by Transportation Secretary Barry J. Schoch. These important efforts, at www.dot.state.pa.us un-der the heading, “Modern Pen-nDOT,” will be updated regular-ly as progress continues. “PennDOT has a long-standing tradition of contin-uous improvement,” Schoch said. “Now, the public can more easily track our efforts to enhance customer serv-ice, save money and deliver projects more quickly.” Efforts to implement modernization ideas recom-mended by PennDOT em-ployees started early last year. While some of the addi-tional modernization ideas suggested last year by the Transportation Funding Ad-visory Commission (TFAC) will require legislative action, PennDOT is moving forward with the ones that do not. To view the advisory commis-sion’s recommendations, vis-it www.tfac.pa.gov, click on final report, and then click on modernization. Some of the many mod-ernization efforts being worked on include: Continuing cooperation with the turnpike to join serv-ices and share materials and equipment; Expanding the study of transit systems to possibly change from county-based to regional organizations that save money and respond more quickly to customers; and Conducting a pilot study on bridge program manage-ment to bundle projects and complete them more quickly. “Modernization items are complementing our efforts to work smarter, increase user convenience and ulti-mately become even better stewards of each and every available taxpayer dollar,” Schoch said. Harrisburg Bankruptcy Appeal Came Too Late HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Harrisburg’s City Council has failed in its latest bid to declare bankruptcy on be-half of Pennsylvania’s debt-choked capital. A federal judge on Wednesday denied the coun-cil’s appeal of an earlier deci-sion that found it was legal-ly barred from filing for mu-nicipal bankruptcy and lacked the authority to do so in any case. Federal Judge Sylvia Rambo said the council was three days late filing its ap-peal following a bankruptcy judge’s ruling in November. The council had filed for bankruptcy protection amid a dispute with the mayor and state officials over plans to restore the city to financial solvency. The state appoint-ed a special custodian to oversee the city’s troubled fi-nances in December. Harrisburg is struggling with $300 million in debt tied to a trash incinerator proj-ect.
