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.

SERENITY

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, 
'How old was your husband?'  '98,' she replied.... 
'Two years older than me' 
'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented.. 
She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
 

Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: 
'And what do you think is the best thing 
about being 104?'  the reporter asked... 
She simply replied, 'No peer pressure.'
 

The nice thing about being senile is 
you can hide your own Easter eggs
and have fun finding them.
 

I've sure gotten old! 
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes.  I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, 
take 40 different medications that 
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to
blackouts.  Have bouts with dementia. 
Have poor circulation; hardly feel my 
hands and feet anymore.  Can't remember
if I'm 85 or 92.  Have lost all my friends.
But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
 

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to 
join a fitness club and start exercising. 
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. 
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and 
down, and perspired for an hour.  But, 
by the time I got my leotards on, 
the class was over.
 

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be 
Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Know how to prevent sagging? 
Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
 

It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.

These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, 'For fast relief.'
 

THE SENILITY PRAYER :
 
Grant me the senility to forget the people 
I never liked anyway, the good fortune 
to run into the ones I do, and the
eyesight to tell the difference.
 

Now, I think you're supposed to share this with 5 or 6, maybe 10 others.  Oh heck, give it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are! 

Always Remember This:
 
You don't stop laughing because you grow old,
 
You grow old because you stop laughing!
