A Message from Offutt Collision Center
OCR is collecting slightly used dvds to send to the
deployed troops for Christmas! We need your help! I'm
sure you have some old dvds laying around that you have
watched too many times. Please consider donating them
to a deployed troop. We will be collecting dvds in our
office until Tuesday, November 16th. Or, call me if you
need me to come pick them up.
On Tuesday night, the families of the deployed troops will
be boxing up items to send to their family member for
Christmas. Each family will be able to choose a movie to
send. I've always heard that troops leave their movies at
their post even after they return home to help establish a
dvd library to share with other troops. Naturally, they are
always looking for more options.
Please consider donating to such a wonderful cause! Thanks so much for supporting
our troops!

Quote of the week:
Give yourself what you would like to receive from others.

A SHORT STORY
My family and I went to a theme park. They had changed the rides since I’d been last so it was pretty cool riding them for the first time.
One of my “first-time” rides was one where they strap you in with all of this over-the-shoulder harness, take you straight up about 160 feet, then drop you so that you’re going about 58 mph, then stop you just before you hit the ground. You’ve probably had a nightmare similar to this ride, the one where you wake up just before you die, hitting the ground.
Well, the dropping wasn’t that bad to me. It lasted just a few seconds. The sudden stop didn’t scare me. What got me was that as you went up, they stopped you near the top and just slowly eased you up the last 20 feet or so, giving you time to anticipate your impending doom if something went wrong.
You know, that’s the way life is. The anticipation of doing something is usually worse than the actual task. So today, when anticipation overwhelms you, relax, and go do it. That’s how you listen to life and make a positive life, not just a living, in a negative world.
