Happy Groundhog Day! Humor is good for the heart. If you haven’t seen the movie, do your yourself a favor and watch it. So funny, and wise!

“We’ve always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts — we want to make the best tech, but have them be intuitive. It’s the combination of these two things that have let us make the iPad.” Steve Jobs
Congrats to Steve Jobs for the innovation, starting a new category, and making again, a fantastic device. Inspiring, and at $499 really outstanding.

In spite of disasters people of good heart always help.  I congratulate George Clooney and the more than 100 actors and singers on the Telethon for Haiti. Great performances, inspirational messages and a good cause.
Jesus said that every time we help those in need, God himself is grateful to us. Charity is a fundamental Christian principle (Matthew 25:31-46) and is also found in Judaism.
There are many ways we can help. One way is purchasing the show on iTunes.com/Haiti. All proceeds go to help the recovery effort.
Another way is going to the American or Canadian website supporting this effort and donating there. We can all help.

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
— King Solomon wrote this paradoxical advice on his book of Proverbs (ch. 24 verse 11) and it is actually true, as recent research confirms.
