Does this make me a busybody ?

I invite you to read about a Christian family who recently moved to Paradise (Texas). Wise County is very blessed to have people of such faith. I invite you to pray for them as well.

Limit all U.S. politicians to two terms..

One in office
One in prison

Detroit and Chicago already do this.

You say you like to golf and would like something different?

If you have the time and means,
try this par 3...

Forget pitch and putt - this tee-off point on top of a 1,410 ft. mountain in South Africa is the hardest golf shot in the world and more than $1 million awaits the player who can score a hole in one.

Players must take a helicopter to the top to play the longest and highest par three on the planet.

Taking the shot also requires courage. A player needs to teeter terrifyingly close to the edge of the mammoth hillside.

Indeed, the Extreme 19th Hole is so high the ball takes almost 30 seconds to reach the ground.

Channel Nine cricket commentator Mark Nicholas recently joined an elite list to have the shot in just three swings. "It was awesome, riveting and phenomenal," he said, "it's like the end of the world when you get up there and it's an awful lot of fun. It's such an adrenaline rush taking the helicopter up and then rushing back down."

The hole is based at the Legends Golf and Safari Resort, within the Entabeni Safari Conservancy in South Africa 's Northeastern Limpopo Province. The other 18 holes were designed by world golfing legends including Trevor Immelman, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington and Australia 's Robert Allenby.

A round of golf - including a buggy and lunch - will set you back R450 ($70).

The Extreme 19th costs is $1060 per foursome, which includes the helicopter ride, souvenir cap, glove, and a DVD of you playing the hole. So far, no one has even come close pocketing the million-dollar prize, but Harrington became the first golfer to conquer the hole within par.

Harrington said, "This is the type of innovation and excitement we need to get more people playing golf. There aren't many new innovative ways to play the game but this is certainly one of the best.

I think this hole is awesome.

I love the whole experience, the helicopter, the views, the drama and having the green the shape of Africa. And now I've got bragging rights over all the other professionals who have played this hole and not managed to make a three.

I love everything about it."

Still funny, even after over 30 million hits!

You make the call...

It starts with a thought...

It's good to be missed...

...except nobody missed me during my vacation! That's the trouble with being Denney Crane.

There is a good side to this dilemma though, I did make peoples lives more pleasant when I entered the room. I'm very proud that a historic great American like Ben Franklin can help me bring joy into peoples' lives. DC
