THE OLD PATHS



I liked the old paths, when

Moms were at home.

Dads were at work.

Brothers went into the army.

And sisters got married BEFORE having children!



Crime did not pay;

Hard work did;

And people knew the difference.



Moms could cook;

Dads would work;

Children would behave.



Husbands were loving;

Wives were supportive;

And children were polite.



Women wore the jewelry;

And Men wore the pants.



Women looked like ladies;

Men looked like gentlemen;

And children looked decent.



People loved the truth,

And hated a lie.



They came to church to get IN,

Not to get OUT!



Hymns sounded Godly;

Sermons sounded helpful;

Rejoicing sounded normal;

And crying sounded sincere.



Cursing was wicked;

Drugs were for illness.





The flag was honored;

America was beautiful;

And God was welcome!



We read the Bible in public;

Prayed in school;

And preached from house to house.



To be called an American was worth dying for;

To be called an American was worth living for;

To be called a traitor was a shame!





I still like the old paths the best!







'The Old Paths' was written by a retired minister who lives In Tennessee .

Free Stuff- Said plainly and well, Luis Flores!

I have never heard this said as plain or as well.



The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff,

Because the folks who are paying for the free stuff,

Can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff,



And,

The folks who are paying for the free stuff,

Want the free stuff to stop.

and the the folks who are getting the free stuff,

Want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!



Now...

The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free stuff,

Have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff,

That the people who are PAYING for the free stuff,

Are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.



So...

the people who are GETTING the free stuff,

Have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff,

By the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff,

And giving them the free stuff in the first place.



We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are

Now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.



Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide

somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?

The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing

people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.



The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now

getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that

in 2012.

Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

HOW AWESOME IS THIS?







The bar is set higher and higher for awesome African game shots that we are privileged to see.!

Clinging on for dear life to the side of a vertical cliff, the tiny lion cub cries out pitifully for help.



His mother arrives at the edge of the precipice with three other lionesses and a male. The females start to clamber down together but turn back daunted by the sheer drop.



Eventually one single factor determines which of them will risk her life to save the youngster – motherly love.





The drama begins: The mother arrives at the edge of the cliff as her son cries out for rescue after being trapped when he slipped





On the brink: Four lionesses look over the edge before aborting their rescue mission because of the sheer drop



Slowly, agonizingly, the big cat edges her way down towards her terrified son, using her powerful claws to grip the crumbling cliff side.



One slip from her and both animals could end up dead at the bottom of the ravine.





Just as the exhausted cub seems about to fall, his mother circles beneath him and he is snatched up in her jaws.



She then begins the equally perilous journey back to the top. Minutes later, they arrive and she gives the frightened creature a consoling lick on the head.



The dramatic rescue, captured by wildlife photographer Jean-Francois Largot, was played out in Kenya’s Masai Mara game reserve.



Despite the presence of wardens to deter poachers, day-to-day life for the lions is not without its dangers … as the cub learned the hard way.







Rescue mission: The mother inches her way down the cliff face to rescue the terrified cub before locking him in her jaws and making her way back up the cliff face

Motherly love: The mother gives her son a lick to say that all is well in the pride following the drama



HOW AWESOME IS THIS? Amazing Photos
