Craig Robertson is my district manager.

Charlotte Observer | 01/31/2006 | Enter world of self-storage auctions: "For Craig Robertson, district manager for Shurgard affiliate Moringstar Properties, auctions embody 'the dark side' of self-storage.

'We're not in the business of selling other people's belongings,' he said.

He would rather cut a deal with delinquent tenants than sell their possessions, he added. But auctions allow storage managers to clear units for paying customers."

Townhall.com :: Columns :: The Tom Fox tragedy by Cal Thomas - Mar 14, 2006: "Peace 'activism' may make its practitioners feel good, or validate their belief that they are doing the will of God, but evil cannot be accommodated. Evil must be defeated if peace on earth is to exist. That Fox and his colleagues could not, or would not see this, is most tragic of all."

WorldNetDaily: The inspiring, true story of St. Patrick: "He did, however find Ireland 'all heathen, and left it all Christian.'

Kidnapped as a boy, Patrick was a slave for six years in pagan, druid Ireland. He miraculously escaped, only to dream years later that he must go back. By his death in 461, Patrick had founded 300 churches, baptized 120,000 believers, and his followers re-evangelized Europe.

This St. Patrick's Day will have new meaning for all who read this great book by William Federer.

It has been said that Patrick is one of the few figures in recorded history directly responsible for the completely non-violent religious conversion of an entire nation."
