I got this E-mail, and I'm passing it on by posting it.
************************************************************
I understand the weather in Iraq is very difficult to bear
right now. Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance
and safety.

I am sorry but I am not breaking this one. Send this on after
a short prayer; please don't break it:

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need.
I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen."

When you read this, please stop for a moment and say a
prayer for our troops around the world.
Pass this request to all who might
pray. Do not let it stop with you, please - of all the gifts
you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine
deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best!!!
Thank you.

Assurance of Endurance

II Samual 22: 2, 3

The Lord is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer.

The God of my strength, In Whom I will trust!

2 Pray for Gods favor to take this woman out of my husbands heart & our lives for ever. Pray that for the next 3 months God will bring forth everything that will be displeasing to my husband about this woman (even her appearances), that whenever she is around him & she opens her mouth, nothing thatÂ’s pleasing to my husbandÂ’s ears will come out of it and that her attitude will literally drive my husband away. Lord close the womb of this woman. Pray for my husbands salvation. Please keep this in prayer.

Sorry about the light posting lately...I was engaged in trying to get my shit in one sock getting ready for my court case to be heard on Monday afternoon.

I hope I got it all right and that this will be the end of the nightmare. It's already taken all the money that I had set aside for the Austin blogmeet, but I have a month to try to scrape that together again, and without it, I'd have been a guest at the greybar hotel, so no tears on that score.

I've done everything I can to get in compliance with the City's (I think unreasonable) demands, we'll just have to see if the judge agrees tomorrow.

But as you may surmise, it's been a real strain, and I haven't felt like posting even when I had the time; hopefully, that laxness will end tomorrow.

I know that there have to be rules to ensure the health and safety of all the residents of a community, but when the letter of the law becomes more important than the spirit, there is a problem. Unreasonable restrictions just cause more pain/trouble/hassel than the original "infrantion" ever could.

UPDATE: Well I went to court and found that they were willing to go (relatively) easy on me. They determined that I had done what was possible under the circumstances to come into compliance with the zoning codes. Then they doubled the fine in the original plea bargain, and gave me until May 1st. to pay it. (I came prepared to pay the original fine, so I now owe the city $256.)

All I have to do is pay the fine by the due date and the case will be considered closed; WITH the proviso that I do not come into violation for the same thing, or be found in contempt of court and face a 6 month jail sentence and a $5,000 fine. Gonna make it hard to make the Austin Blogmeet, but not totally impossible, just have to wait and see how it works out.

If you can remember those tag lines, you know that we've lost two of the best charactor actors that ever lived.

They even acted in a movie together, "Hot Lead and Cold Feet":

They say that bad news always comes in threes...in this case I hope not, I've lost enough of my childhood already.

I got this from a friend of mine in the Second Amendment group I belong to. I believe that I have seen it before, but I can't remember for sure. Snopes says that this event was is based in a true event....but distorted.

Their point that Islam is not the monolithic ediface that is presented in the MSM is a good one. BUT when one reads the statements coming out of the mouths of Islamic religious leaders, it still leads one to wonder, and the the main question about which would seem to be the more benificent religion when one compares the basic attitude towards those that do not subscribe to the tenets of the religion is still valid, at least in the case of those radical elements that are fomenting all the problematic religious uprisings in the world today.

###################################################

During the training session for maintaining my state prison security
clearance, there was a presentation by three speakers representing the
Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of
their belief systems.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.
The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with
a video.

After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked:
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and
clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a
command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If
that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation,
he replied, "Non-believers!"

I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All
followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of
your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct?"

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command
to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the
cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, "Yes."

I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the
Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley
ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to Heaven.

The Imam was speechless.

I continued, "I also have problem with being your friend when you
and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me
ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to
kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you
because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?"

You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the
'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with Rick's way of
dealing with the Islamic Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's
beliefs.

Because we keep hearing the Liberal mantra that "Saddam and Al Quada had no connections" and "Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11", I suggest you read this post at American Thinker.

And now there is mounting evidence that those WMD's are in Syria and Lebanon.

I believe that in the future(assuming we still exist as a nation), when a lot of facts that are "hidden" today come out, our posterity will wonder just how come we allowed a large segment of our political leaders commit treason in such an open manner with no repercussions to them at the time.

I am myself in support of the war efforts and the removal of an evil dictator who threatened his nation and the region. Saddam was also a threat to the United States, as well as were the people in his country. Iraq is a predominatly Islamic nation and consequently anti-American and supporter to Islamic radicles. It would be nearly impossible for Saddam to avoid any connection to terrorists. But my question is what is the real reason for the war in Iraq? Is it the connection Saddam may have with al-Quada and the 911 attacks? Or is it the WMDs he may or may not have? The

I was going through my daily read routine when I found this over at Gut Rumbles:

The hubster and eldest spawn are off camping this weekend with some friends of ours. Guys weekend out...they do this often, however...this one is really special to them all. Why? Because, Mikey, errr....Michael...hell no...he's Mikey, is in town on leave. Mikey's 19 years old, a helluva Marine and headed to Iraq in the next 2 weeks. He's ready to go, he's willing to fight, however, he's nervous. Who wouldn't be? Iraq and Effingham County aren't really similar at all! Anyway, I would really, really, from the bottom of my heart appreciate you sending any sort of message (not an f-ed up you're dying for nothing one, nice ones) to give to him before he leaves. He's a great kid, and I really appreciate him and those like him who are willing to protect our ass. No matter how you feel about the war, how many 19 year olds that you know would head over there? If you pray, tell him, if you feel thankful, tell him, if you wish him Godspeed - tell him. If you have military advice or are a veteran, depart some of that wisdom. Please send it to me at: writing4areason@aol.com and I will be sure to print it out and give it to him. Sometimes ya just gotta let someone know you appreciate them having your back!! Semper Fi!! (and if you want to send this on...please do...the more the merrier!!) If you don't want to leave your full name or whatever....leave your blog addy, or whatever...please let me know where you are from....so he can see it ain't just us Jawja crackers wishing him well!!

This young man deserves all the support we can muster for him; please take a moment out of your busy life and let him know that his service IS appreciated.

Thank you for following in a great tradition of Service, Mikey! You do your parents and your neighbors proud.

I know I haven't weighed in on the hunting accident controversy...it was an accident, and that about covers it. No, I'm NOT concerned about the "delay" in reporting it to the news media. and all the furor over the "delay", as far as I'm concerned, reminds me that it was 24 HOURS before Teddy reported his little dip in the bay, and the 30 hour delay in reporting on the Vince Foster "suicide note", orchistrated by none other than THE Hillery herself..nothing was ever made in the media about these "mistimings of information dispersal" in the press...Just another example of BDS on the part of the press..

Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells
her father that they learned about the history of
Valentine's Day.

"Since Valentine's Day is named after a Christian saint
and we're Jewish," she asks, "will G-d get mad at me for
giving someone a valentine?

Melissa's father thinks a bit, then says "No, I don't
think G-d would get mad. Who do you want to give a
valentine to?"

"Osama Bin Laden," she says.

"Why Osama Bin Laden ?", her father asks in shock.

"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American
Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a
valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're
not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit.
And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to
Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start
going all over the place to tell everyone how much he
loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."

Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter
with new found pride. "Melissa, that's the most
wonderful thing I've ever heard."

A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man
standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink
envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle
and starts spraying scent all over them.

His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man
and asks him what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out 1,000
Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"

"But why?" asks the man.

"I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.

Remember guys, Valentine's day is TOMORROW!

Maybe you're lucky like me and have a sweetie that's easy to please on this day of romantic expression promulgated by the corporate interests of the greeting card companies, but for G-ds sake, at least get her a card!

I've learned that even when they SAY that it's ok that you forgot, it is NOT.

I have it covered, but I thought I'd post this as a tribute to my lovely wife of almost 12 years too:

And Honey, below the fold is JUST for you. (that means don't look, the rest of you pervs!)

GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you
chuckle. Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort
from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own
children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And
the first thing he said was "DON'T!"

"Don't what?" Adam replied.

"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.

"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve ... we have forbidden
fruit!!!!!"

"No Way!"

"Yes, way!"

"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.

"Why"

"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He
hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later,
God saw His children having an apple break and He was angry! ; "Didn't I
tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.

"Uh huh," Adam replied.

"Then why did you?" said the Father.

"I don't know," said Eve.

"She started it!" Adam said

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve
should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never
changed.

BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY! If you have persistently and
lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be
hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think
it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and
talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word
what you shouldn't have said.

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that
there are children more awful than your own.

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:
Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.

AND FINALLY:

IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

I received an e-mail from one of the co-founders of a site called Watching America , asking me to check out the site as a possible addition to my blogroll.

Since he indicated that he had read my feeble attempts and found them interesting (flattery, the grease of society!) I did so, and found what I think will become a daily read in my never ending search for inspiration/information in writing a post that someone may find worthy of perusal and comment.

I added them as number three in my "National Stuff" section, please check them out, you'll be glad that you did.

THIS is a story that will anger you. A man pays for insurance, and when stricken with Kidney cancer, his insurance carrier refuses to pay for treatment, saying it was either "uneeded" or "experimental"....and when the cancer progresses to the point where the only option is to keep the man as comfortable as possible as he dies, it even refuses to pay for Morphine, citing the dangers of addiction at the doses he required to be pain free...

I don't hold the hospital and doctors unaccountable either, they SHOULD have provided the needed treatment AS they were battleing the insurance company for payment.

I was reading the message boards accompaning this story, and I noticed a number of people citing this case as proof that we need to go to a National Health Care system, such as employed in Canada.

All I can say to that is that if you want to see such horror stories become the norm, rather than the exception, go to a government provided system.
