OMG! Igive up! Intro text problem

I have been trying to put text above the loop for 24 hours. I am having no luck. I QUIT!!!!!!!!!

My blog is at http://www.familyministriescenter.org/fmcyouth
In that directory I have a file called homepage-index.php and a file called index.php
In my theme folder I have a file called index.php

The homepage-index.php has this code on it
/<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
define(‘WP_IN_ROOTDIR’, true);
require(‘./__INSTALL_DIR__/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>/
I added the (/)
The index.php in the fmcyouth folder has this short code in it
/<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>/

The index in the theme folder is the one I enter my text above the loop in and it doesnt show up on the page.

Some one tell me they can fix this…PLEASE!!!!!!!
