Located in Saint Augustine, Florida is one of the most prominent and powerful advocators for dolphins and whales in the world...BLUE VOICE.

For 25 years, this organization whose executive director is Hardy Jones, a former CBS and UPI journalist, has worked tirelessly to end the manmade threats of destruction on the great mammals of our oceans.

The organization focuses not only on marine mammals but, also on much of marine life. A recent study by Blue Voice entitled A SHARED FATE is "eye-opening" to the toxic dangers that now exist around the globe, affecting not only the marine environment but, also the mammals and animals themselves.

Hardy Jones and his organization have been featured on the television program NATURE with an in-depth look at dolphin hunts titled, The Dolphin Defender.

For all of us who love the ocean and its creatures, it is for sure a necessity that we apprise ourselves and others in our contact circles of this web site and support the work of this tremendous organization.

You are God's Book

~by Susi Pittman

Content as an adjective means, happiness. Content as a noun means something that is contained; the chapters or other formal divisions of a book. Both definitions apply to Susi's column in analogous form, seeing our lives as God's books.

Fireplace Cooking

The winter time has many of us by the fireside. Sometimes it is because of necessity, especially if a winter storm knocks out power to our homes. The fireplace then becomes the "family hub" for warmth, light and FOOD. We found a great site at PLOW & HEARTH that has super information on FIREPLACE COOKING.

One of my favorite "reads" is a book titled, WHALES WITH FUR.

It's nice to know that dolphins and dogs have a certain "kinship."
