January 17 - 19 is the 2nd Annual "Pay It Forward" weekend.

I think everyone knows the meaning of the term.

Pay it Forward 2014


--- Quote ---Beginning Friday Jan. 17 through Sunday Jan. 19, 2014 we are encouraging everyone to "Pay It Forward". We are asking everyone to do at least one random act of kindness (more than one is even better). All you have to do is do something for someone or some organization without expecting anything in return. Pay for a stranger’s meal, send someone a card, volunteer some time. The ideas are endless. All it takes is a spark to get a fire going. By clicking join, you can make a difference and who knows, maybe change someone's life. Get on Board, invite all your Facebook friends to join and let's see if we can change someone's world this weekend. Who knows, it might be your life that gets changed. Last year, we had 3916 people that accepted our invitation. More remarkable is that 50,311 people saw our invitation and cause. This doesn't count the people outside of Facebook that took part. The most important number is the ONE person, family, or cause that YOU touch. Spread the word and help make 2014 start strong for not only the one or more that you touch, but for you personally.

Remember, it doesn't take people doing a lot, just a lot of people doing a little. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

One additional note, this page is being used to invite and encourage people to do at least one random act of kindness during this weekend. We will welcome all post and pictures that help us in this, all others will be deleted. Thank you in helping us keep this family friendly!!![/color]

HOUSTON—A Good Samaritan stopped and helped an injured dog that somehow ended up in the HOV lane of the Eastex Freeway early Friday.

The dog was spotted in the outbound HOV lane near Tidwell shortly before 8:30 a.m.

Animal Control officers were called to the scene, however it was a Good Samaritan who was able to get there first.

Rickey Young, a father and contractor, said he heard about the problem on the radio and wanted to do something to help.

“I’m just kind of a softy on that stuff,” he said. “I have a dog and would hate to see him on a highway like that.”

As it turns out, the yellow lab mix was badly hurt. Young took her to safety.

TranStar cameras captured the whole thing, including the skittish dog at first trying to back away. Yet Young was able to entice her with his sandwich, and soon the yellow lab was in his truck.
