Radio Shack in Tyler Texas

August 5th, 2010

When it comes to electronics I will be the first to admit that I really do not know what I am doing in the store. I do not know the differences between brand name computers. When I have to shop for my electronic-loving husband, I really have to go to a store with people that do not look at me crazy when I ask what the point of the HDMI cable is. Radio Shack’s staff has helped me many times when I feel lost and confused. Radio Shack has all different electronics for your home, office and for your car. If you are like me the GPS is one of the greatest inventions lately. I have lived in Tyler my whole life and still need directions to get across town. With a GPS you can get turn by turn directions to you destination. It makes traveling less stressful and frustrating.

At Radio Shack you can find the newest and best phones for the top mobile phone services. AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Nextel are offered here. If you are looking for the best service for your area and the best deal for your money, Radio Shack will help you find the best phone and service. CDs are becoming a thing of the past, and Radio Shack is leading this change by helping people purchase iPods and MP3 players and accessories. You can get anything from car chargers to colorful covers and cases.

If you are not like me and know how to take apart a computer and put it back together blind folded, you probably have an even bigger appreciation for Radio Shack. You can find all different kinds and sizes fuses, LEDs, wires, miniature bulbs, and component parts. The staff is very knowledgeable when it comes to all these different parts and tools. So when I am trying to find a gift for my husband at Radio Shack, I can trust the salesmen to know what is the best thing to get him.

You can get great gifts at Radio Shack such as digital cameras and camcorders. You can get the best brand name cameras starting at $50 up to $800. You can get a camera that is small and can fit in your pocket, to a large and professional camera. You can get all the things that you need with your camera and camcorders, such as memory cards, miniature printers and even digital photo frames.

Grown men can turn into little kids again with the Radio Shack toys such as game consuls, toy cars, video games, and hobby projects and kits. They carry Wii and Playstation games and consuls. The newest Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo portable, and Playstation portable are some of the best gifts that you could get someone. Many times Radio Shack is having sales in the paper or online for these consuls. The hobby kit is something fun t do with your kids as they learn how electronics work. Each kit comes with all the parts to build your craft and easy to follow step by step directions.

I know that I did not list all the products that are sold at Radio Shack. You can find so many things that are needed for everyday life, school, work, your car, and purely entertainment. It is always nice to have people that are willing to help you find what you are looking for no matter if you know what you are looking for or if you have no idea.

Caring Help For Those In Crisis

January 8th, 2010

Living Alternatives is an area ministry which comes under the auspices of Youth With A Mission. Living Alternatives was founded in 1982 by Beverly Kline, as a ministry to young women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. The ministry is of course a prolife institution whose aim is to provide happy, humane alternatives to abortion. Initially it offered merely a free pregnancy test and some one on one counseling. As the ministry and staff grew, other related needs revealed themselves. Today there are essentially four component parts which make up the Living Alternatives ministry.

The Pregnancy Resource Center

            Located across from T.J.C. the Resource Center offers free pregnancy tests, sonograms, and counseling to expectant young mothers. The dedicated volunteer staff can also offer referrals for numerous sexual health concerns. The office is full of literature which helps give direction to those who find themselves in crisis.

Fatherheart

            Frequently, when a young woman finds that she is un-expectantly pregnant she also finds that for whatever reason, she is without a place to live during her pregnancy. Fatherheart is a home for unwed mothers, who have made the decision to carry their children to term, but are in the process of deciding whether to raise their children alone, or place them for adoption. Located in Garden Valley Texas, the facility has twelve bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a live in staff. The Tyler Texas Ministry offers counseling and morning devotions, as well as educational opportunities for girls who have yet to finish high school.    

Loving Alternatives

            Founded in 1987 the Loving Alternatives adoption agency provides counseling to both the mother considering the option, as well as the adoptive parents and their family. It is located at 430 S. Vine in Tyler, well away from the associated mother’s home. Wisely, the separation allows the expectant mothers to make their own decisions in regards to the placing of their children. Loving Alternatives is state licensed and places children in Christian homes.

Building Blocks

            Building Blocks offers assistance to young single mothers who desire a new start in life. Counseling is available to help with parenting, and forming healthy new relationships. Tangible help with diapers, clothes and even basic foods is also available.

            After nearly thirty years of service to the community, Living Alternatives continues to grow and assist the Tyler area. For services call (903) 882-0182 or 1-800-447-2891.
