For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

The Rest of the Story- E-mail Judi Cole

You'll like this true story!

**

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new

voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4.

Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided

to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile

caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. She was an older

woman

(maybe 26 and he was only 22) and he fell in love.



Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to

find

out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at him, took her

card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. He walked

out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside

as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked

harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if

maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't

possible.



He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a

baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she

accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday.



That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that

she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To

which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's take the kids with us."



She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again

not

taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda brought him inside to

meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just as cute as a bug,

Kurtis thought, and then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He

was born a paraplegic with Down syndrome.



Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't

come with

us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two

kids,

especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband and father

of her children had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different

mindset.



That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the

movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When

he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took

him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the

evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the

rest of her life with.



A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children.

Since then they have added two more kids.



So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl?

Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona, where he is currently

employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona

Cardinals and has his Cardinals set for an appearance in the Super Bowl.



Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an

ordinary person.



It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.

Coach Billy C. Gillispie quotes Paul Brown

Coach Billy C. Gillispie (UK basketball) recently quoted Paul Brown in the coach's and the teams feelings about not being in the Top 25. Paul Brown said something to the effect that- When you are winning say very little. When you are losing- say even less.

Both coaches are heroes of mine.
