Farm Stores was founded in 1935 in Miami Beach, Florida, as Land O' Sun Dairies, Inc.- a manufacturing operation producing high quality dairy products for the South Florida market.

In 1957, Farm Stores drive-thru outlets were created as direct full-service retail outlets for the dairy operation. In the late sixties, the company moved to its present location near Miami International Airport. Farm Stores, a recognized institution in Florida, is highly regarded in the marketplace as a provider of high quality dairy and grocery products.

In 2001, management launched various strategic initiatives, including the newly expanded grocery merchandising strategy as well as online grocery shopping with pick-up at Farm Stores drive thru locations. Currently, Farm Stores Grocery focuses exclusively on its patented double drive-thru, full-service markets with over 100 stores throughout Florida that serviced over 20 million customer visits in 2000.

Farm Stores is shaping a bright future by taking advantage of the market need of time starved grocery shoppers for a fast, well priced and convenient grocery service (i.e. customers can shop for groceries without getting out of their cars), as well as, soon offering the added time savings benefit of online ordering combined with drive-thru only pick-up at www.FarmStores.com.

Retired Canon Alan Duke, a longtime supporter of women in church leadership posts, said those arguments "simply do not stack up."

Duke said that while Jesus named no female disciples, he used and valued woman in radical and different ways for his time.

"He was hardly going to choose women and send them into a situation where they might have been in grave risk," Duke said.

The number of Anglicans wishing to join the Catholic Church has increased in recent years as the Anglican church has welcomed the ordination of women and openly gay clergy and blessed homosexual partnerships, said Cardinal William Joseph Levada, the head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The traditionalists argued that bishops must be men, as were Jesus and his apostles.

But now, in Christ, all are welcome to his salvation who come to him; all have equal privileges according to their faith in him, their love and devotedness to him.

But whether you are in a plane or on the ground, whether you live in wealth or poverty, you have the same weather as your neighbor, you are susceptible to the same illnesses and accidents, and at the end you will die a similar death. Human beings are equal in the eyes of God.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. ~ Galatians 3:28 (King James Version)

God treats men and women as spiritual equals. Quran 3:195 tells us :

"Their Lord responded to them: "I never fail to reward any worker among you for any work you do, be you MALE OR FEMALE, YOU ARE EQUAL TO ONE ANOTHER........."

The spiritual equality between men and women is reiterated in 4:124, as follows:

"As for those who lead a righteous life, MALE OR FEMALE. while believing, they enter Paradise; without the slightest injustice"

and again in 16:97:

" Anyone who works righteousness, MALE OR FEMALE, while believing, we will surely grant them a happy life in this world, and we will surely pay them their full recompense for their righteous works."

and yet again in 40:40,

" Whoever commits a sin is requited for just that, and whoever works righteousness - MALE OR FEMALE - while believing, these will enter Paradise wherein they receive provisions without any limits.

Just imagine. A spaceship plunges out of the night sky, hits the ground and explodes. A plume of debris billows back into the heavens, leading your eye to a second ship in hot pursuit. Four minutes later, that one hits the ground, too. It's raining spaceships!

Put on your hard hat and get ready for action, because on Friday, Oct. 9th, what you just imagined is really going to happen--and you can have a front row seat.
