A C I II E V E R S Find room in your heart for a stranger, Your friends are already there, but there are many others who need some love that you could spare. Make room in your heart for the weary, for the lost and the lonely too. You know -''but for the grace of God" one of them could be you. Each good deed becomes a seed you plant along the way, and it's said-they will all come back "tenfold" to you some day. But the seeds you scatter all along life's road on which you trod- will never grow if you don't save some room in your heart for God! OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION by Doris A.

The Rashads, whose 1985 engagement was affirmed via national TV rank high on the list, as their combined popularity and high profile careers make them an obvious favorite. “ If we are an exciting couple,” says Phylicia, “ it’s because we are excited about ourselves and about each other.” The Joy ners, who first met in 1980 and later married in 1987, won a honeymoon trip to Jamaica on TV’s Newlywed Game.” The pair drew worldwide attention when Florence collected three gold and one silver medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, setting a world’s record in the women’s 100-meter dash. “Al is my mentor,” says Florence. “ He keeps me motivated. The world record belongs to him.” In celebration of Black love, Ebony’s other exciting couples include Rev. and Mrs. Jesse Jackson, Bill and Camille Cosby, Tim and Daphne Reid and Norm Nixon and Debbie Allen.
