Best prayer in a long time- Thanks Carol and Clay Vice

Thanks Clay! Old grouches, like myself, need to stop and think and have Christian compassion on others sharing this world with us.

Best Prayer I Have Heard In A Long Time...

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together


Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.

If you send this to 5 people, then you have a chance to touch 5 people.

Working for God on earth doesn't pay much......but His retirement plan is out of this world!

Internet taxes and control by o's FCC

Just another Lib tax, Judi! Spend! spend! Spend! Tax! Tax! Tax! o, Pelosi and Reid planned this lame duck congress well and the few republicans did nothing to stop them.

I have not one ounce of trust in their judgment except that it is to destroy America.

If ever we needed an example of what can happen when innovation, entrepreneurship and a marketplace are left unfettered, it is the phenomenal and transformational growth of the Internet and the commerce it's engendered.

A Very Large and asinine solution to a problem which exists only in the crippled neurotic and socialistic minds of the greedy, power hungry Obama administration and its democrat controlled FCC. There is NO rational reason for what the FCC did today with regard to "policing" the internet...HANDS OFF DIMWITS....
