A 40 year old man of Southaven, Mississippi found himself a victim of a home invasion on Friday, May 15, 2009. The robber was seeking money; but he was disappointed when the homeowner told him "I have no money." The homeower, recently had been released from the hospital after suffering a stroke. The discouraged robber got a bit upset and stabbed the man twice in the stomach, and then robbed him of his medication.

J.I.F.F.
05.20.2009
Memphis, TN
This morning, I spoke over the telephone with the founder of this great organization, Rick Carr. Here's questions from our short but informative live telephone interview:
MIISRAEL: "Rick tell me what exactly is J.I.F.F.?"
RICK: "J.I.F.F. stands for Juvenile Intervension & Faith Followup."
MIISRAEL: "Tell me more about what JIFF is?"
RICK: "JIFF is a faith based ministery I started in 2003 that helps in aiding and assisting in vocational needs of juvenile offenders. Orginally from Florida, I decided to go where I felt the greatest need for the organization seemed to require my services. So I begin and organized this location and felt Memphis was a good place to start."
MIISRAEL: "What ages or age groups do you help?"
RICK: "Ages 12 to 18 year olds are helped and sometimes up to 24 year olds. Vocational services help to redirect their steps not to become repeat offenders." "We also have a web-site."
MIISRAEL: Please give me your web-site!
RICK: It's
www.jiffyouth.org. MIISRAEL: Thank your for your time, I'll blog about J.I.F.F. on the
BlackinAmerica.com connect network. The name of my blog is Hometown Memphis.
RICK: Thank you too!
J.I.F.F. celebrated it's Open House on Friday, May 15, 2009 but it's still not too late come by. Give Rick a call if you're local and want to know more. He's eagerly wanting to assist you or your troubled youth. (901) 522-8502
That's the end of those words...now.. that word JIFF means help to mis-directed youths of Memphis.
That word means ....it's not peanut butter! Choosy mothers with juvenile offenders will choose J.I.F.F. ....Du..uh!
So what does "ALL THAT" means?...That word means it's time to end this small issue of Hometown Memphis.
I have to thank you for stopping by for a read..That word means... I'M GRATEFUL.
