Does everyone have organs in the same place in their bodies?
MOST of us have internal organs in the same places in our
bodies. However, it IS possible for some people to have
their organs in different locations, like on the opposite
sides. It's possible, for instance, to have a heart on the
RIGHT side instead of more to the left (dextrocardia) and
for the intestines, liver, and stomach to be on the opposite
side as well (situs inversus).
If you have your organs on the wrong side, will you be sick?
Not necessarily. The condition can be harmless. However,
it's a good idea to make certain your doctor knows all about
it, especially if you are scheduled for surgery!

I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of

I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email

Here's To Think On ...
with Ken Darby
------------------------------------
Your Achilles Heel!
Achilles was a renowned warrior. He was strong, lithe, fast,
accurate and loved by his fans because he was never defeated
- until - one day an opponents arrow struck that part of
him that was unprotected, the tendon at the back of his foot
just above the heel. That one simple wound rendered him
useless.
Still, today, medicine refers to that tendon as the Achilles
tendon. The rest of the world thinks of it as a weak spot
and to this day we refer to a persons weak spot as their
"Achilles heel".
SHOW ME YOUR ACHILLES HEEL! I bet you have one,
just like the rest of us. In fact, I bet, with regard to the
business of being successful, or being rich, that there is a
GOOOOD possibility you really don't want to be rich. Sounds
stupid doesn't it? Yet, it is true!
Oh! I know you say you want to be. I know you utter all the
right words, but in your heart of hearts - do you really
want it? You see, you have subtle enemies of which you are
likely unaware.
Here is what I mean. Too many of us, most of us, were
discouraged as young people from thinking we would be rich.
Most of our parents were not rich and they would discourage
our thinking that way because they felt there was not much
hope of it becoming true, and you would be dashed on the
rocks of unrealized dreams. So we were told all sorts of
stuff, TO WHICH YOU LISTENED, that sounded like this,
"Don't be greedy",
"Money isn't everything",
"Don't be silly, just get your education and go to work like
your father",
"Money doesn't grow on trees, ya know".
Does any of this sound familiar? It should, I'll wager you
certainly heard it lots, or other comments like them. Well,
here is the problem. When we are young we just absorb
things, like sponges. We don't question because, after all,
this is Mom, or Dad, or a coach, or a teacher talking. We
were all taught not to question authority, neither these
points - they must, then, be right.
Without even giving the matter another thought at that time
you just absorbed it, believed it and went on with your
life. I know I did. So, now, you are walking around "saying"
you want to be rich but your heart of hearts KNOWS YOU WILL
NOT BE, after all you have it on good authority, your
parents. Worse yet is the fact that you have been carrying
this thought around for years, so it is well planted and I
bet your bank accounts show it.
There are universal laws that, when learned can help you
create a new you. You can overcome well intentioned but
false training.
Happiness, health AND wealth are your birthright. Yet, to
win you must know your competition as well as your goals,
for overcoming your competition is one of the steps to your
success. Your competition is within you. Find it. Overcome
it and claim your birthright.
Remember, you can overcome ...

The Relationship of Oral Health to Overall
Health and Longevity
by Tom McGuire, D.D.S.
PART 14 of 31
Low Pre-term Birth Weight The health and financial
problems associated with low pre-term birth weight
babies (weighing less than 2,500g at birth) are
significant. One study illustrated that these infants
are 40 times more likely to die in the neonatal period
than normal birth weight infants. At birth,
approximately 7% of all babies are in the low birth
weight category, yet these babies account for
two-thirds of all neonatal deaths.
In another significant study by Offenbacher, et al,
researchers found that low birth weight is still the
number one cause of infant mortality. It also causes
many long-term health problems, including an increased
risk of cerebral palsy, epilepsy, chronic lung disease,
learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder.
The cost, both financially and emotionally, of low
preterm birth weight babies is tremendous. In the
United States, 1 in 10 births are low birth weight
babies. They account for 5 million neonatal intensive
care unit hospital days per year at an annual cost of
more than $5 billion. The overall cost in terms of
suffering and long-term disabilities far exceeds the
monetary costs of this problem.
The authors of this breakthrough study have provided
new evidence that periodontal disease in pregnant women
may be a significant risk factor for low birth preterm
weight. The study suggests that 18% of all pre-term low
birth weight cases may be attributable to periodontal
disease. It also notes that gum disease represents a
previously unrecognized and clinically important risk
factor for pre-term low birth weight babies.

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 . . . . . . .

"Yes, Harriett. They are all fine and
wonderful people."
"I know that, but that sure was more than I
expected. I kind of like it though. It seemed to
make everything work. I was sure surprised when
they all had to leave, and so suddenly."
"That happens sometimes, Harriett. We never
know when we are to be called."
"Do you and Sam have to go?"
"No, Harriett. There are plenty of folk who
can help out. All the rest of our family is there
though. We'll just sit this one out."
"You seem so composed about it."
"I shall not worry over things I cannot do
anything about. Life exists right here, right now,
Harriett and I shall do the best I can wherever I
am."
"I suppose that's a good philosophy for
anyone. I don't know how many nights I couldn't
sleep just worrying about the wedding cake, and
about whether I should have been doing more, about
whether we contributed enough, even about whether
there would be enough cake."
"Harriett," Alewka moved over to her and
placed her arms around her, "you need not have
worried like that. As you can see everyone loved
your cake and there was just enough, yet there is
none left. It was wonderful. And you contributed
plenty. Weddings aren't about money, Harriett. You
gave your daughter. That is one big step. I only
hope you enjoyed the wedding. I also hope you are
not bent out of shape because some higher law
things happened here." Alewka was broadcasting
love unto Harriett and she was absorbing it like a
sponge.
"I saw and heard some things I could hardly
believe, but then I remembered some of the things
you and Sam are able to do. Now our Sharon can do
those things. It just leaves me bewildered, that's
all. There was a time when I would have objected
and I would have fought about it, but no more, not
with Sharon doing it too. Where did they go, do
you know?"
"Yes," responded Alewka as she stepped back.
"They have gone to South America where there is a
special 'honeymoon hut' that was first used by
Eloise and Maz. They keep it in good shape and it
is now used by many newlyweds."
"But Sharon is not used to that country! Will
she be all right?"
"Harriett, Sharon lives by higher law. She
will be safe forever, for she is in her Maker's
arms. By the way. being on their honeymoon they
were not called to help out in the emergency.
There will come a time when they will be, and
Sharon has gone on many already, but this time
they are left alone, for it is their time."
"Mr. and Mrs. Henry," Mildred Johnstone spoke
up, "how did they get there? Are they there now?"
"Yes, Mildred. When you live by higher law you
are able to transport yourself anywhere you wish,
by thought. Just as the others all left at once,
literally vanished to our eyes, Tim and Sharon are
able to do that as well. As you learn you will do
that too."
"Oh, my!"
Some of the ramifications of what was possible
by living by higher law were now setting into
Mildred's mind. It is one thing to say you want
something, it is another when you realize that is
coming to be real in your life."
"Sam, Alewka, I have, at times, been the
perfect fool over this business of higher law. Now
I see my Sharon live that way and she makes it
seem so normal, so natural. Then when you had me
walk on water as part of the ceremony I began to
realize these things can be done. I want to
apologize for being such a fool in years gone
past."
"Bob, were you doing what you thought was
right?"
"At the time I was, yes."
"Then you did not know what the truth was at
that time and so you, being honest, pursued what
you felt was correct. That's okay, Bob, so long as
you are open minded enough to realize you were
wrong and that other ways, other things, other
methods do exist. Now you know. Ignorance, Bob, is
only wrong when you hold onto it and fail to let
it go. That is the real problem with religions.
They teach it is the only way. They are wrong, yet
they cause so many folks such terrible lives only
because those folks hang onto that ignorance. Once
they look, I mean really look, they lose that
ignorance and begin to see the instructions Jesus
gave transcend all religions, all races, all
manner of differences man sees and is for all.
Your Maker's world is not to be pigeon holed into
just this religion or that. It is for all mankind.
Those who hold onto their religion do so at their
own risk, Bob. It is in the listening to your
Maker, within, that life begins to take on
meaning, not in a church or not with toys and
other material goods."

to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how
much adversity we can overcome. True hope responds to
the real world, to real life; it is an active effort."

HA! HA! HA!
Two very elderly ladies were enjoying the sunshine on a park
bench in Miami.
They had been meeting at the park every sunny day, for over
12 years...chatting, and enjoying each others friendship.
One day, the younger of the two ladies, turns to the other
and says..."Please don't be angry with me dear, but I am
embarrassed, after all these years... What is your name? I
am trying to remember, but I just can't."
The older friend stares at her, looking very distressed,
says nothing for 2 full minutes, and finally with tearful
eyes, says...How soon do you have to know?
