561 To A Beautiful Person

  If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
  If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
  He sends you flowers every spring.
  He sends you a sunrise every morning.
  Whenever you want to talk, He listens.
  He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose... your
  heart.
  Face it friend, He is crazy about you!
  
  God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without
  sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day,
  comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
  
  Send this to every "beautiful person" you wish to bless, and
  return it to the person who sent it to you.

  Judge puts dagger in

  Man accused of assault on wife, her friend at
  festival

  Warren County Bureau
  
  LEBANON | A Warren County judge has rejected a
  Cincinnati man's plan to claim he dropped boxes, soda
  cans,
  drums and a sheathed dagger on his estranged wife and
  her
  lover at the Ohio Renaissance Festival last fall out
  of fear
  they were vampires.
  
  David R. Biren, 52, is charged with domestic violence
  and
  assault in Warren County Court.
  
  The trial, expected to take three days, began Monday
  after
  court officials said Judge James Heath barred Biren
  and his
  lawyer from claiming he was justified in using force
  against
  Kimberly A. Biren or Charles "Shadow" Perkins because
  he
  believed they were vampires.
  
  Last month, lawyer Jason Showen argued Kimberly
  Biren's
  "extensive involvement in the vampire world with her
  paramour Shadow," as well as "Shadow's prior
  financial
  dealings with several women" was among the evidence
  he
  needed to defend David Biren against assault and
  domestic
  violence charges.
  
  Assistant County Prosecutor Leslie Meyer had urged
  Heath
  to prohibit any mention of vampires, financial
  dealings or
  Perkins' or Kimberly Biren's mental health during the
  trial.
  
  On Monday, an eight-person jury, plus an alternate,
  traveled
  to the grounds of the festival, east of Caesar Creek
  State
  Park.
  
  On Oct. 12, Biren is alleged to have thrown boxes,
  soda cans,
  drums and a sheathed dagger onto Perkins, 29, of
  Amelia as
  he walked beneath a loft in a building where the
  Birens
  worked during the festival. Kimberly Biren, 34, who
  also lives
  in Amelia, was struck when she went to Perkins' aid,
  according to police.
