IAAF World Championship - Jamaica 9th Overall
Approximately 3000 athletes from over 200 countries at the 10th IAAF World Championships in Helsinki and Jamaica placed 9th overall. In fact, looking at it from the number of medals, we actually came 4th behind the United States, Russia, and Ethiopia with a total of 8 medals.
Not to mention the number of other finals that we qualified for but didn’t medal. Also Jamaica was the only country that qualified for all 4 relay finals. We medaled in three and took fourth place in the other.
“Are we great or what?” Only 4411 square miles with a population of 2.7 million people yet we are able to compete at the highest level among the greatest in the world.
If only we could apply that greatness within us in all aspects of our individual and collective lives. Keep the faith.
Nuff Love

Sister Mary Margaret
SISTER MARGARET MARY, WHO WORKS FOR A LOCAL HOME HEALTH AGENCY WAS OUT MAKING HER ROUNDS WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS.
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT A GAS STATION WAS JUST A BLOCK AWAY.
SHE WALKED TO THE STATION TO BORROW A CAN OF GAS TO START & THEN DRIVE TO THE STATION FOR A FILL UP.
THE ATTENDANT REGRETFULLY TOLD HER THE ONLY GAS CAN HE OWNED HAD BEEN LOANED OUT BUT IF SHE WOULD WAIT, IT WAS SURE TO BE BACK SHORTLY.
SINCE THE NUN ! WAS ON THE WAY TO SEE A PATIENT SHE DECIDED NOT TO WAIT & SHE WALKED BACK TO THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO FILL WITH GAS, SHE SPOTTED A BEDPAN SHE WAS TAKING TO THE PATIENT.
ALWAYS RESOURCEFUL, SHE CARRIED IT TO THE STATION & FILLED IT WITH GASOLINE, & CARRIED IT TO HER CAR.
AS SHE WAS POURING THE GAS INTO THE TANK, TWO MEN WERE WATCHING FROM ACROSS THE STREET. ONE OF THEM TURNED TO THE OTHER & SAID, "IF IT STARTS, I'M TURNING CATHOLIC".
