Where has all the innocence gone? Right here with Sammie TIO Thanks Mr. vice!

Alas, where has all our innocence gone?



While I sat in the reception area

of my doctor's office, a woman rolled an elderly man

in a wheelchair into the room. As she went

to the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone

and silent. Just as I was thinking I should make

small talk with him, a little boy slipped off

his mother's lap and walked over to

the wheelchair. Placing his hand on the

man's, he said, I know how you feel. My

mom makes me ride in the stroller too..'

As I was nursing

my baby, my cousin's six-year-old

daughter, Krissy, came into the room.

Never having seen anyone breast feed

before, she was intrigued and full of all

kinds of questions about what I was doing.

After mulling over my answers, she remarked,

'My mom has some of those, but I don't think she knows how to use them..'

Out bicycling

one day with my eight-year-old

granddaughter, Carolyn, I got a little

wistful. 'In ten years,' I said, 'you'll want

to be with your friends and you won't go

walking, biking, and swimming with me like you do

now. Carolyn shrugged. 'In ten years you'll be

too old to do all those things anyway.'

Working as a pediatric

nurse, I had the difficult assignment

of giving immunization shots to children..

One day, I entered the examining room to give

four-year-old Lizzie her needle. 'No, no, no!' she

screamed. 'Lizzie,' scolded her mother, 'that's

not polite behavior.' With that, the girl

yelled even louder, 'No, thank you! No, thank

you!

On the way back from a Cub

Scout meeting, my grandson innocently said to my son,

'Dad, I know babies come from mommies' tummies, but

how do they get there in the first place?' After my

son hemmed and hawed awhile, my grandson finally

spoke up in disgust, 'You don't have to make

up something, Dad. It's okay if you don't

know the answer.'

Just before I

was deployed to Iraq , I sat my eight-year-old

son down and broke the news to him. 'I'm

going to be away for a long time,' I told

him. 'I'm going to Iraq .' 'Why?' he

asked. 'Don't you know there's a war going

on over there?'

Paul Newman

founded the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for

children stricken with cancer, AIDS, and blood

diseases. One afternoon, he and is wife,

Joanne Woodward, stopped by to have lunch with

the kids. A counselor at a nearby

table, suspecting the young patients

wouldn't know Newman was a famous movie star,

explained, That's the man who made this camp

possible. Maybe you've seen his picture on

his salad dressing bottle?' Blank

stares.'Well, you've probably seen his face on

his lemonade carton.' An eight-year-old girl

perked up. 'How long was he missing?'

God's Problem Now:



His wife's graveside

service was just barely finished, when there was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance. The little, old man looked at the pastor and calmly said,

'Well, she's there.

National Day of Prayer in America... It happened under the o watch... ;(

Debbie,




Jeanie and I are so happy to hear from our good Kentucky fan and friend. We are also so glad to know that your heart and head are in the right place at this critical time for our nation and for the world.



In

1952

President Truman

established one day a year as a

"National Day of Prayer."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In

1988

President Reagan

designated the

First Thursday in May of each year as

the National Day of Prayer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In June

2007

(then)

Presidential

Candidate Barack Obama

declared that the USA

"Was no longer a

Christian nation."

---------------------------------------------------------------

This year

President Obama

canceled the

21st annual National Day

of Prayer ceremony

at the White

House under the ruse

Of "not wanting to offend anyone"



------------------------------------------------------------------------



BUT... on September 25, 2009

from 4 AM until 7 PM,

a National Day of Prayer

FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION

was Held on Capitol Hill,

Beside the White House.

There were over 50,000 Muslims

in D.C. that day.



Error! Filename not specified.

HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS!



I guess it Doesn't matter

if "Christians"

Are offended by this event -

We obviously

Don't count as

"anyone" Anymore.



The direction this country is headed

should strike fear in the heart of every Christian,

especially knowing that the

Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be

converted, they should be annihilated.



This is not a Rumor –

Pay particular attention to the very bottom of the page:

"OUR TIME HAS COME"

I hope that this information will stir your spirit.



The words of 2 Chronicles 7:14

"If my people, Who are called by my Name,

Will humble themselves And pray,

And seek my face, and Turn from their Wicked ways,

Then will I hear from Heaven

And will forgive their Sin and will heal Their land."



We must pray for Our nation, our communities,

Our families, and especially our children.

They are the ones who are going to suffer the most.

.

If we don't PRAY

May God have Mercy.

IN GOD WE TRUST.
