    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

ARTICLE CONTENT :

No matter what else you are doing from cradle days through
to the end, You're writing your Life's secret story, Each night sees another page penned.

Each month ends a thirty day chapter, Each year sees the end
of a part, And never an Act is Mis-Stated, Nor even a wish of the Heart.

Each morn when you wake, the Book opens, Revealing a page
clean and white, What thoughts and what words and what doings will cover it's surface by night ?

Good leaves that to you, You're the writer, And never one word will grow dim, Until someday you'll write the word FINISHED, And give your Life's Book Back To Him.

"GOD BLESS"
