There’s a lot of negative in the world right now. Economic woes, war and poverty, fears of disease, and other reasons to be worried. Many have lost hope. But…

When life is at its darkest, the epic story of one man’s triumph over struggle could be the light we need.

JOB: A Man for His Time, a Man for Our Time, a Man for All Time by Gregory V. Jones, Jr. is a book that uses the Biblical story of Job to explore the four T’s of life: Test, Trial, Tribulation and Triumph. Modern-day struggles are used to illustrate the lessons of Job and God’s infinite wisdom. It’s timely, it’s transforming, and it’s a must-read for Christians.

Here’s just one testimonial about the importance of this book:

“The writing challenges us to plunge into the Spiritual, not being influenced by the enemy… how to successfully survive the tragedies of our day. Wonderful book. Recommended.”

- Prelate Bishop F.E. Perry, COGIC, Ohio Southern Jurisdiction

JOB the book is so inspiring that it’s soon to be a movie! Here are just a few of the comments that JOB the screenplay has received:

“It looks like a very powerful piece of work. We will encourage our members to go see it and purchase the DVD.”

- Bishop George D. McKinney, St. Stephen’s Cathedral Church of God in Christ Ministries

“This is definitely a story for the niche market the author has targeted. It has plenty of action, visuals, drama, conflicts and good characters.”

- Lynne Pembroke, Coverscript.com

I have two kids. But even if I didn’t, I’d still be a fan of Disney, Star Wars, holiday movies and other fun, playful things. Which could be why I get as excited as my kids when we explore Kookys.

Kooky Klickers are pens. They’re also collectibles. And best of all, they’re FUN! They have colorful faces, wacky hair and pop culture appeal. Kids write with them, trade them, collect them… OK, not just kids. Grown-ups can do it, too. Kookys are for everyone!

There are Disney-themed Kookys, holiday Kookys, sports Kookys, limited edition Kookys, and even a 10th anniversary Spongebob Squarepants Kooky! Each Kooky belongs to a Krew, which is like a little family. And  Kookys also features the Kooky Fun Club, which gives members access to games, activities, collecting tools and special areas of the website where kids and adults alike can explore, play and have Kooky fun! It’s a great way to bond with the kids over something we both enjoy.

Kookys make great stocking stuffers and holiday gifts. I plan to get several for my kids this year; maybe a few will end up in MY stocking, as well!

Fill out the form below to get more information about Kookys, including information about special limited edition Kookys. Come find out what my kids and I (and lots of other people) already enjoy: The fun and wackiness of Kookys!

I love e-cards! I love that I can send a cheerful little pick-me-up to someone without having to go to the store, buy a card, buy a stamp, and put it in the mail. It’s so much more convenient. I also love receiving e-cards, since they’re often a happy surprise for me in an email inbox full of deadlines. They don’t take a lot of effort, but they can make the afternoon a little brighter. And my favorite spot for e-cards is Rubber Chicken Cards.

Rubber Chicken Cards is a great source for sending the funny to your friends and family. They have cards peopled by strange, hilarious characters who have their own unique personalities and are quick to share them with you. The animation is whimsical, and the dialogue is often ludicrous, but one thing is certain: Rubber Chicken Cards are a laugh. There are cards for holidays, current events, special occasions, and even no occasion at all. The site offers a 10-day free trial, so you can start sending some cheer to the people on your list right now!

Aside from the e-cards, Rubber Chicken Cards has a great, free service you can use to really make someone’s day: the Compliments Club! The Compliments Club lets you send free positive messages to the people you care about. Tell them that they’re great, that they glow, or that they’re a genius. Remind them how much they mean to you, and how special they are! It’s quick, it’s free, and it could very well be the difference between a crummy day and a wonderful day for someone in your life.

Start sending compliments right now by filling out the form below. You’ll get an email with a link to the Compliments Club! And make sure to try out Rubber Chicken Cards for the other e-card occasions in your life. When you care enough to send a laugh, send a Rubber Chicken e-card!

Dear Yovia Community,

Just a note that we are conducting a community study. We want to see just how much traffic (and money) your great content produces on a daily basis. This will allow us to hire on more full and part time team members, and pay-out to the Yovia network a greater percentage of revenues.

Two things that will help the overall growth of your community:

1. The installation of the Alexa toolbar. Alexa tracks traffic and if all Yovia members have it installed it will help us all.

2. We’re testing the implementation of Google Adsense on select communities. If you see a Yovia fidget, or an ad, click to see what the advertiser is offering.

Ultimately Yovia succeeds when it provides real value to people who need or want the product or service a company is offering. That allows us to pay each of you the percentage of ad revenue your network produces.

This community and this company are based on the premise that real people are being empowered to extend their talent and their voice; We believe the power of one online community is powerful. There is strength in numbers on the Internet.

Interacting with community sponsors (Ads) and helping us to measure the true traffic (Alexa) as a community is one of the best things we can do.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have feedback that would help Yovia to grow.

Spread the word,
Jalali Hartman
CEO Yovia

I have lots of grocery lists. I have the sticky note in my pocket with a half-dozen things scribbled on it, I have the looseleaf scrap in my purse with a few more things on it, and I have a couple of things in my head that I will probably forget the second I set foot in the grocery store (seriously, what is it about walking into the grocery store that causes instant amnesia??).

So obviously, I’m a list maker (which is helpful when I can find all my lists), but hand-written lists are a recipe for disaster. Once, I stood in the store for about 20 minutes, staring at my list, trying to figure out what I had written. For the life of me, I could not read my own writing. When I got home and took inventory of the kitchen, I realized what I had not been able to read: MILK. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my handwriting was so bad that I couldn’t make out the word “milk” on my list. I had to go BACK to the store, costing time and gas, to get the milk plus the other things I had forgotten.

Lucky for me (and for you), grocery shopping doesn’t have to be such an ordeal. There’s a great gadget out now called SmartShopper Deluxe, and boy, is it smart. This thing helps you create, organize and print grocery lists, and it’s voice-activated! You just tell it what you need, and it adds that item to the list. It also categorizes your stuff, so when you go to the store, you don’t end up running back and forth between produce and frozen food eight or nine times for things that you scribbled down. It even keeps track of errands you need to run (like the bank and the dry cleaner) so you can get everything done at once when you go out. That saves gas, time and money.

The SmartShopper has been featured on TV shows like Rachael Ray, The View, The Bonnie Hunt Show, The Today Show and many others. This nifty gadget is great to have at home, and even better to give as a gift for someone else! Especially those people who are so tough to buy for… No matter what they do or what interests they have, they go grocery shopping like the rest of us, so they could use a SmartShopper!

So now that you know how great a SmartShopper is to have around, here’s an extra bonus: the company is offering FREE SHIPPING on the purchase of a SmartShopper Deluxe and Paper Pack Combo! Just fill out the form below to get information on how to take advantage of this great offer for yourself. I know I’ll be ordering a SmartShopper shortly… I’m tired of keeping up with my many lists, I’m tired of not reading my own handwriting, and I’m especially tired of forgetting stuff at the grocery store and being blamed by my entire family for not knowing what they want or need. It’s SmartShopper time for me!
