The Thought of the Day

Published 2 May 2017

Good morning my dear families and friends I hope that we all had a good night’s rest.

The thought for today says
“A man won a prize for a full-grown pumpkin shaped like a small jar! How did he accomplish this? When the pumpkin started to bloom he simply put the  bloom into a glass jar and the pumpkin, as it grew, filled up the jar.  He then broke the jar,and the pumpkin duplicated the size and shape of the jar.

Many times we do the same to ourselves. We place our selves in containers that limit our growth. The container will be just as large or small as
we believe it to be. It is a matter of choice.We can choose to grow or we can choose to become ripe and rot.”

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;they shall walk and not faint.Isaiah 40:31. Have a blessed Tuesday.

Today’s Tip

Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, if you are not willing to move your feet.

The Thought of the Day

Good morning my dear families and friends i hope that we all had a good night’s rest.

The thought for today reminds us that “Anyone can support a team that is winning – it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.”

Teams need support through good times and times of improvement.  It may be your family “team”, your work “team”, or your community “team.

Will you be the one who has the courage to be there when they need you?

Have a blessed Monday and a Productive week ahead.
Today’s Tip

Lots of people are extremely rich financially but are dirt poor morally.

Alert level raised with increased activity at Kick ‘em Jenny*

http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/96309/alert-level-raised-increased-activity-kick-em-jenny #

Published 30 April 2017

*Alert level raised with increased activity at Kick ‘em Jenny* _30-Apr-2017_

ST GEORGE’S – The National Disaster Management Agency is monitoring an increase in activities taking place at *Kick ‘em Jenny*, the region’s only submarine volcano located between Grenada and the Grenadine island of Carriacou.

In a release early Sunday, the disaster agency said it has been advised of the increase in activity by the Seismic Research Centre (SRC) of the University of the West Indies (UWI). “The UWI/SRC recorded a high amplitude signal, lasting about 25 seconds, on one of the Grenada stations.  The signal was also recorded on a station in Montserrat.  This signal follows an increase in the number of background events associated with the *Kick-‘em-Jenny volcano*,” said the release which confirmed that persons in the St Patrick’s area have reported feeling tremors.” As a result, the alert level is now on yellow and sea users and ships have been warned to stay away from vicinity of the submarine volcano.

In light of the ongoing we are advising all sea users that the 5km (3.1 miles) exclusion zone of *Kick ‘em Jenny* be strictly observed. The SRC has advised that heightened alert is necessary for the exclusion zone,” the release added. A yellow alert means the volcano is restless; seismicity and/or fumarolic activity are above the historical level or other unusual activity has been observed or can be expected without warning. *(CMC)*
