Thats what I said, the $400 million dollar man. Mr Limbaugh has took radio to a new level with his nationally syndicated talk show. He resuscitated am in radio in the late 80's. Limbaugh's popularity paved the way for other conservative talk radio programming to become common place on the AM radio. As of 2006, Arbitron ratings indicated that The Rush Limbaugh Show had a minimum weekly audience of 13.5 million listeners, making it the largest radio talk show audience in the United States. In 2007, Talkers magazine again named him #1 in its "Heavy Hundred" most important talk show hosts. Limbaugh frequently mentions the EIB (Excellence In Broadcasting) network, but this is a mythic construction, as he told the New York Times in 1990. [12] In reality, his show was co-owned and first syndicated by Edward F. McLaughlin, former president of ABC who founded EFM Media in 1988, with Limbaugh's show as his first product. In 1997, McLaughlin sold EFM to Jacor Communications, which was ultimately bought up by Clear Channel Communications. Today, Limbaugh owns a majority of the show, which is syndicated by the Premiere Radio Networks. According to a 2001 article in U.S. News & World Report, Limbaugh had an eight-year contract, at the rate of $31.25 million a year. [13] On July 2, 2008, Matt Drudge reported that Limbaugh signed a contract extension through 2016 that is
Limbaugh rants and raves of todays topics will draw you in. Leaving you with the feeling of what is he going to say next? The star status of this man is incredible. He took a job that literally pays nothing and surpassed income of the president and vice president put together with a NBA player trowed in their as well... Do I think he deserves it, really the way the executives of AM radio looks at it he is getting paid every penny that he is worth!
Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before. But we don't hav

The Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking spaceright in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly.
So I asked "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital! This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call,"the Law of the Garbage Truck."
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks, they run around full of garbage ,full of frustration,full of anger and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes thel'll dump it on you.
DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Just smile, wave, wish them well and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work,at home or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life
is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who threat you right and forgive the ones who don't.
Teaching Kids About MoneyBy: Ken Canfield
Do your kids think money grows on trees? Before your kids are gainfully employed, it may not seem vital to teach them about money. But, all you have to do is think about how our society seems to revolve around money and you realize that you can never start too early.If you want to save your children from the agony of worshipping the almighty dollar, you'll want to begin early to put money in the proper perspective. Instead of simply giving your children a weekly allowance and then letting them try to figure out good stewardship on their own, teach them the basic principles you want them to value. Marriages crumble from the pressures of aggressive bill collectors or they split because spouses can't agree on what to do with their money. We need to talk with our children about money and model the right attitude about it. Our goal is not to scare them -- but to help them gain a positive outlook about money, and to teach them healthy stewardship habits. Today I'll cover five basic abilities that your children need to learn in relation to money: They are to earn diligently, spend wisely, save consistently, give cheerfully, and receive graciously. Earning money gives your child a sense of worth. Even young children need to know they can make a valuable contribution. They have marketable talents. Even if the current market is only in your kitchen or backyard. Help your children know the satisfaction of earning their keep and help them realize that nothing is free except God's grace.Second, one of the greatest delights for a child--and for many adults I know--is to spend money. But we need to make that connection between earning and spending. Earning it yourself makes spending it more enjoyable. And when it's their money, they get the final call on what they purchase It's amazing how fast kids learn the difference between a wise investment and a waste of money when they're spending their own hard-earned dollars.Of course, on our list is saving. Consistently saving money -- even if it's just putting away a little bit each month. My kids love to examine their bank books. They marvel at how their accounts have grown as a result of their modest, but consistent savings plan. If your child learns to save something each time he gets some money, he has learned a valuable lesson--and, I might add, a lesson which many in this generation have lost.Give cheerfully. Several months ago, my son Joel came and asked for money to see a movie. My immediate response was the dreaded teaching mode. He'd have to learn to budget his allowance like everyone else. "Joel," I said, "I already gave you your allowance this week. What happened to that?""I put it into the offering at church," he said."All of it?""Yeah, all of it," he said.You know what I did next? I gave him the money for the movie -- plus some extra for popcorn. What father can refuse to reinforce a generous child? It only makes me eager to give more and more.Finally, teach your children to receive graciously. Just as earning has a direct connection to spending, our joy in giving is multiplied because we know the pleasure of receiving.For some of us, receiving is uncomfortable because we don't like to show our needs or weaknesses. But our children need to learn that using the phrase "Thank you" demonstrates strength, not weakness. After all, receiving a gift means someone considers you important enough to give it to you.
Have a great week,

And a Teddy Bear
The pictures are awesome..........but wait until you read the words
Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalms 117
Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalms 119
Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible?
A: Psalms 118
Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118
Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118
Add these numbers up and you get 1188.
Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?
A: Psalms 118:8
Q: Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives?
The next time someone says they would like to find
God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to
be in the center of His will, just send them to the
center of His Word!
Psalms 118:8
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?
"Father God bless my friend in whatever it is that you know
he/she may be needing this day!
And may his/her life be full of your peace,
prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a
closer relationship with You.
Amen"
When things get tough, always remember...
Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it !!

WOMEN'S REVENGE
Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse."So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked."No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE) I know I'm not going to understand women.I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.
MARRIAGE SEMINAR While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes."He addressed the man,"Can you name your wife's favorite flower?"Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?
CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo much cheaper.So, I figure if I have to roll my own .......... so does she.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
WORDS A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. "The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
WHO DOES WHAT A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says .......... "HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.
