"Delta is one of our most avid corporate supporters, and we appreciate the token of appreciation they have extended to our donors," stated Joyce Brendel, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region. "While we know our donors give because they want to help someone in need, it's always a pleasure to provide such a great incentive to those who give so selflessly of their time and resources." The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors to make or keep appointments to give blood this winter to help maintain a stable blood supply for ongoing or emergency needs. Though the winter holidays are over, the need for blood and blood products still exists. It is important that the blood supply is maintained regardless of the season because the need is constant. To find an American Red Cross blood drive near you, please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org today to make an appointment to donate blood.

By Gary Miller Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ My friend Dave just killed a buck in Spend Your Tax Money Wisely... Buy New Windows & Save On Your Power Bill! Leaf Relief Gutters, Vinyl Siding & Windows By: of Rutherford and Cleveland Counties WE INSTALL GUTTER CLEAN! We Are Now Offering Shingle Roofing! WE ALSO INSTALL METAL ROOFING! Ohio. This time however, instead of wait- ing on the big one, he arrowed one that had a lot to be desired. It was an older buck with one antler that had been bro- ken off and the other one that looked as if each point had been worn down to the nub. The body of the deer was big as is typical in Ohio, but the wear and tear of many years of fi ghting had taken its toll on the rest of its features. Dave had seen the deer earlier in the year and knew that it was very territo- rial. It was as if this once proud monarch had been given a few small acres and was willing to fi ght with great and small to protect it from any and all comers. Dave was proud of his trophy because it reminded him of his own battle scars that he had taken lately. It reminded him of how he too had been beaten up and may not look like the spiritual trophy that many expect. I suspect these may be his greatest spiritual days. You see, the truth is, our greatest days are not when we are in our physical prime or even when we feel as if we are on top of the world. They are not when we look like a spiritual monarch or even when we seem to be reaching the most. Our greatest days come after many of our nubs are worn off. They are when our distinguishing characteristics are not beauty marks but battle scars. They are when our greatest pleasure is not from a victory but from the fact we have simply fought a good fi ght. It is what makes us real and "realness" is what the world needs to see. A children's story called The Velveteen Rabbit, written in 1922 by Margery Williams, best illus- trates this. They are in the nursery and the toy rabbit in the story is asking the skin horse about becoming real. Here's how the story continues. "Does it happen all at once, like be- ing wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen of- ten to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be care- fully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, ex- cept to people who don't understand." The buck that Dave took the other night was the most beautiful deer in the woods, because Dave understood. www.outdoortruths.org Delivery To Rutherford & Cleveland Counties FREE Rent To Own Now Available! ©Community First Media ©CommunityFirstMedia Outdoor Truths
