What is the biggest theme park in the world?
Disney World, near Orlando, FL, is the biggest theme park in
the world, covering 30,000 acres.
What are "Muggles"?
If you don't know what a Muggle is, then you've managed to
completely avoid the current "Harry Potter" mania. A "Muggle" in
the Harry Potter universe is what wizards call human beings
who are unaware of the magic world or just plain nonmagical.
Muggles for the most part are oblivious to the magic world
and to the society of magical people that exists alongside them.
Muggles don't believe magic exists. They find nonmagical
ways to explain everything that happens to them.

Trying to keep thePEBBLE out of the clutches of your
spam filters is almost an impossible job. It is like chasing
moonbeams. Every spam filter has a different set of
qualifiers. I have decided I will not chase them.
thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a
highly honorable publication dedicated to serving
our readers. There is no logical reason spam filters
cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here
or there in an ad, or in a story or article. That is why
I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of
Pinehill.
I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email
it to you. However, if your spam filter eats it, then you
can read it online.
Please note you can read thePEBBLE anytime you wish
by going to our web site and clicking on
"PAST ISSUES". Go to http://www.the-pebble.com
Thank you for your very loyal support.
Thanx

Here's To Think On ...
with Ken Darby
-----------------
Fussy Are We?
A picky customer comes to a small food shop and sees
a new delivery of fresh fruit. "Give me two kilograms
of oranges and wrap every orange up in a separate piece
of paper, please," he says to the saleswoman.
She does.
"And three kilograms of cherries, please, and wrap up
every one in a separate piece of paper, too."
She does.
"And what is that there," he asks pointing out a bushel
in the corner.
"Raisins," says the saleswoman, "but they are not for
sale!"
Are you ever this fussy over things? If so, ever ask why?
There are those who let petty things bother them so
much they cannot see or enjoy life. Are you one of
those?
Take a look around you. Look at the life bubbling up in
your family. Look at the life pushing forth in your gardens,
in the trees, in the world around you. Get to know that
life. It it far more important than the fussy little things
you worry about.
If you want to get emotional about anything, something,
get wrapped up in life itself, that force within you that
motivates you and makes you breath, see, feel, think.
Get to love that energy, that force. Get to see it in all things
for nothing is without it.
That life that beats within your breast calls out for you
to express yourself in good, creative and healthy ways.
It is not there to require your worry over things that are
unimportant. Think on that. If your biggest worry is what
color are you going to paint the bedroom, then you are
missing out on many treasures. Life for all can be so rich
and fulfilling that petty things no longer exist. It is up to
you to make the choice. Go for it ...

April Is Cancer Awareness Month
PART 4 of 4
Do as much research on your own. Find out about all the
different possible treatments. A fast and favorite place of mine
to get information is Google. http://www.google.com
Think of a group of words that have meaning for you: something
you want to research. Put quotation marks round the entire
phrase and hit "enter". You will be amazed at what shows up!
You will have lots of information to sift through. Check out as
many sites as you feel you need. Some sites will be very
trustworthy and some less so, but at least you can read and
check out the sources. Don't allow others to think for you. A
change is in order. Otherwise nothing else will happen. Don't
allow anyone to discourage you from trying. At no time must you
ever give up hope.no matter what anyone tells you.
There are too many instances of people achieving their health
goals despite being told their lives are finished. The path
might be difficult and stressful, but isn't that the same for
many things you have had to do in the past? Stack the odds in
your favor. It's your game and you mean to win. Stick with
people who can and will enhance your determination.
Honestly, there are many, many people who have overcome these
negative health conditions. Unfortunately, good news is either
seen as a miracle and a one-time fluke, or it doesn't sell or
get mentioned at all. Want to learn more positive news? Turn off
the TV and radio unless you know the programs will make you feel
better. Tune out those that call themselves 'realists". They
will only scare you with their negativity tune into your own
goals. Focus on them alone.
Send any email to mailto:powerpause@rr-email.com
If you haven't ever read and used the Power Pause, please
request a copy of it here. It was developed by John Harricharan
http://www.insight2000.com/ and has got to be one of the very
best "tools" to help you deal with negativity and distractions.
Did you know that the major discovery of the twentieth century
is learning how our minds work? It had been proven over and
over, that we create our own realities. That includes all our
present and past experiences but only now are we understanding
just how we arrived at those. Now use that knowledge to get past
the hurdle and on to your goal. Seek health as your long-term
goal. There may be a few dips in the road, but the end result
will be positive. Your determination and courage make it so.
Your future is full of hope.
Spring always comes. The daffodil is the flower of cancer
awareness. As it goes through its cycles of growth, it reaches a
dormant stage.and then emerges stronger and more beautiful than
ever before. When faced with a difficult problem or a stressful
period, become like the daffodil: stronger, more courageous, and
much more valuable to everyone. You can if you think you can.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET
<><><><>
THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places.
The Saga Of Pinehill, The Adventure
is now in bookstores. A controversial and powerful story.
It will change your life. Go to
http://www.the-pebble.com OR order yours from
your favorite bookstore. ISBN # 1-4137-4723-X
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

"I ... I don't understand."
"Long Chu, what is the thing most dearest to
you that you would fight to the end to avoid
losing?"
"I ... I am still not sure what you mean. The
things most dearest to me are my family. I would
do anything to keep them safe."
"That is a reasonable answer. Now ... you must
give them up."
"Please?" Long Chu was asking a question.
"Long Chu, you must give them up. You have to
let them go. You must place your Maker first and
foremost in your life before all else. You must
give them up."
"But Miss Mae, where will they go?"
"They will stay right here with you and Ming
Lu. However, where they are first in your heart
now, they must be replaced by putting your Maker
first. That is what Jesus meant when he suggested
we lay up treasures for ourselves in heaven for
where our treasure is there will our heart be
also. Yes you love your children and always will
but you must love your Maker first ... always.
Your Maker and 'heaven' are within your breast.
You must go there and love your Maker before all
else."
"And what happens to my children?"
"It is likely you will look after them better
for now, as a child of your Maker, you have a
responsibility to your Maker to look after your
children, not as owner, but as steward. You look
after them in a way that is for their sake, not
yours."
"I do that now, Miss Mae."
"Sure you do Long Chu. Yet you place your
children and your wife before your Maker. You must
change that now. If you want the fruit of the law
Jesus said that if you do these things then all
shall be yours."
"I will try that."
"No, Long Chu. DO. Trying does not work. It
leaves room for you to fail. DO. Do you know the
'Ten Commandments'?"
"Some, I guess."
"Then you might recall that even a very long
time before Jesus, some 3000 years earlier Moses
made the same command. He said 'Thous shalt have
no other Gods before me.' Later, when Jesus was
asked what was the greatest commandment he
repeated this commandment in his own words, 'Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all they mind.'
That is the first law of living by higher law."
"Isn't that a pretty selfish God?"
"Long Chu, if you perceive God as a person
sitting on a throne in some place called heaven,
that being a place outside you, a theoretical
place, then I would say you are right. However, if
you see your Maker as a 'force' within you, a
force that will guide, direct, give you power and
ability to do things, the same force that is in
all things and without which nothing would exist,
then it is not selfish, but the only way to live."
"But I have been told this person will pass
judgement on me and send me to hell if I do not
accept Jesus as my saviour."
"It is true that is the message organized
religion delivers. It is funny Jesus never said
that. When he said 'I am the way, the truth and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.' he
is right. If you do not do as Jesus tells you it is impossible
to find your Maker."
"But I am told that he sacrificed himself,
gave his blood, that I might live."
"You have been talking with missionaries
haven't you? In no other way could Jesus show that
death can be overcome. Somehow he had to show
people that he died as the world knows death. Do
you not think that a man that can call a friend
back from the dead, who can change water into
wine, who can have the blind see, the lame walk
and who himself can walk on water, do you not
think he could have altered events at Calvary? He
did that to show you that death can be overcome,
that he still lives, even today he still lives, as
can every man who does what Jesus taught us to
do."
"Are you saying you interpret religious
writings different than others?"
"Long Chu, every religion says they are right.
Every religion says they have the way. Every
religion is organized, builds big buildings, takes
money from the masses and says a few prayers in
return. I am not saying I am a religion. I am not
saying I have the right way. I am not saying
follow me or perish. I am saying get hold of a
bible and read the words of Jesus and do as you
are told. I am further saying that if you go
inside and ask your Maker you will be well guided
toward the truth and the power you seek. Pay no
attention to me or what I say until you receive
confirmation from your Maker."

OBSERVATIONS OF OUR BUSINESS
Many of you have become interested in following what
we are doing in our business.
It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.
While it may not replicate your story, neither may it be replicated
by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

Answering Machine Messages
Don't you do it! Don't you dare! I don't want to hear
it! Don't you beep! If you beep, I'll... don't even
think about it!... Don't!
Hi! John's answering machine is broken. This is his
refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick
your message to myself with one of these magnets.
Hello, this is Ron's toaster. Ron's new answering
machine is in the shop for repairs, so please leave
your message when the toast is done... Cachunk!
I'm sorry but my answering machine is out of order. I
am leaving a broken CD player in its place. It can't
take messages either. In fact, it can't even play you a
nice tune while you wait to not leave a message.
Machine voice: Hello. This is HAL 5. You have reached
the former telephone number of Carey Smith. I have
taken over the functions of this inferior being. He has
been saved to disk. If you would like to leave input
for his file, do so at the tone.
(MacIntosh Plus with MacIntalk program:) Hello, it's
obvious you have bad timing, because nobody is home.
Please leave your name, telephone number, and a brief
message in a voice similar to mine, and your call will
be returned as soon as humanly possible.
Lindsey's not home now. This is his domestic droid
speaking. I'm not programmed to answer the phone, so
just leave a message, and Lindsey will get back to you
as soon as possible.
