In Loving Memory Of Sarah "Haleybugs" Foxwell







In a beautiful ceremony this morning, the Foxwell Family opened their hearts by allowing the community, (1,000+) to gather and celebrate Sarah Foxwell.

Sarah's actual funeral was last Thursday in a private ceremony, very fitting under the circumstances.

Sheriff Mike Lewis gave an unbelievable eulogy while becoming emotional two different times. As many of you can understand, Sheriff Lewis has two beautiful children and I can assure you, this touched home like never before.

Earnie Leatherbury and Davis Ruark were also kind enough to get up and speak, expressing their condolences, all three recognizing and thanking the community that had been so divided, now coming together with a glimpse of hope for the future.

Sarah's Mother Jennifer, her Father Tom and her Grandmother also got up and spoke, as well as some of Sarah's best friends and school mates. Rev. Dr. William L. Warren and Rev. Thomas Bunting Officiated the event at the Emmanuel Wesleyan Church in Salisbury.

I'm at a loss for words Folks.

Home Sweet Home


Joe,

It's Ron Heavin. I just wanted to let you know the Beagle's owner has been located.Thank you so much for posting it. God Bless you and your Family and Happy New Year.

Please Help Support Coach's Corner Diner At 60th Street


Joe,

Martin Furst and his family operate Coach's Corner diner at 60th Street.

The diner is at the ground floor of the Sea Bay hotel. He'll never put his name
out there, because that's the kind of guy he is, but through fundraising and
donations the Fursts have worked to donate thousands of dollars to needy
families in Ocean City and the area. He is certainly not the only one giving
generously from Ocean City, but I bring this to your attention because his diner
will be closing tomorrow, Sunday the 3rd of January.

The hotel owners have decided not to renew the diner lease, and will try to take over the restaurant and operate it themselves. I bring this to your attention because I think folks should flood the diner on Sunday, have a meal, and show their support for a family that has for years worked to support the community and those who weren't as blessed financially.

What A Beautiful Night




If I were to guess at the number of people at Friday night's prayer vigil for Sarah Foxwell, I'd say there were around 1,500 people there. Some were telling me they thought it was more like 2,000 but I think I'm closer to the actual numbers.
Quite a few people got up to speak. Some were classmates of Sarah in School, one was her Teacher. All beautiful heart felt words.
I have had several conversations with a family member of Sarah's and I want to share with you one of the things I shared with them.
As many of you know, I recently lost my Mother. We were so very blessed with the fact that God allowed us to spend three weeks of quality time with Mom before she left this world. This was a luxury I spoke of often because I truly felt this was a gift from God. Mom felt no pain in her last three weeks and so looked forward to going "home." Home, meaning with God.
While many of you wonder just how horrific Sarahs final moments were, Sarah felt no pain. Sarah was shielded by God and was long gone well before that monster Thomas Leggs took her from this world. I truly believe this to be true. My Mother spent her entire life serving God and now rests comfortably in his presence. Sarah, (an innocent 11 year old child) felt no pain. However, Sarah was taken away in an instant and the Foxwell Family didn't have that three week luxury as I did. It's a very difficult closure to accept.
Could we have done more for the Sarah's in this world. I'm sure we could have. However, it was said time and time again last night, LOVE your children. Give them that extra kiss at night and tell them how much you love and appreciate them because you never know what tomorrow is going to bring and or if tomorrow will ever come.
Today, many of us will meet in Salisbury to celebrate Sarah Foxwell's life. Over the past week a community came together in support, put all our differences aside, put Christmas on hold, fed each other, shook hands and hugged each other, perfect strangers. Sarah Foxwell did this for us. Do we grow from this, or do we divide, that's up to you.
For me, I see a light in Salisbury I have never seen before, at the expense of an 11 year old innocent child. If you choose to come to Sarah's Memorial Service, do so unconditionally. Do so because you want to better our part of the world. Don't point fingers, don't pass blame. Let God handle that one day down the road.
In the mean time, we have a lot of work to do in the year 2010. I hope to God our politicians are reading this message because we need them now more than ever. We need to unite, not divide.
A special thanks goes out to the Foxwell Family for being there Friday evening. One Family member mentioned that much has been said about the Family not showing their face in public. Sarah was buried last Thursday in a private setting. The Family should never have been expected to go public, especially under these circumstances.
YOU do NOT deserve answers. Those who feel they do did NOT go out and search for Sarah unconditionally.

Joys Of Muslim Women (Unbelievable)

by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.

The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce.

To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the West World (America) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.

Ripping the West in Two.

Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.

She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.

Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .

When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.

But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.

In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed.
Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.

Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.

While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.

It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.

While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves!
