There's an annual contest at
the University of Arkansas calling for the most appropriate definition
of a contemporary term. This year's term was: "Political
Correctness." The winning student wrote:
"Political correctness is a
doctrine -- fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by
an unscrupulous mainstream media -- which holds forth the proposition that it is
entirely possible to pick up a piece of crap by the clean
end."

Grandfathers don't know everything!
THIS IS TOO CUTE NOT TO SHARE
Hunter was 4 years old and was staying with his grandfather for a few days.
He'd been playing outside with the other kids, when he came into the house and asked , 'Grandpa, what's that called when two people sleep in the same bedroom and one is on top of the other?' His Grandpa was a little taken aback, but he decided to tell him the truth. 'Well, Hunter, it's called sexual intercourse.’
‘Oh,’ Little Hunter said, 'OK,' and went back outside to play with the other kids.
A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, 'Grandpa, it isn't
called sexual intercourse. It's called Bunk Beds. And Jimmy’s mom wants to talk to you.'

ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS - IS WOW !!!!!
RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE - STIMULUS SERMON
Genesis 47:13-27
I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader.
Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is..... It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.
---------------------------------------------------
Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.
Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? .....(reading)...
Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great
storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.
So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock - their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year.
But the famine wasn't over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.
What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?
That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes.. That's the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?
Yes.
But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn't end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.
We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth" once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.
What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"?Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will...
Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.."
And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We
pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government.
In God We Trust...

Scioto Voice, Wheelersurg JimK.'s High Notes
High Notes
01-12-2012
I like
football, baseball and basketball, and I’ve played them all…not well, but I
always had fun. Now all of those sports
are of the “spectator variety” for me, and the number one game for me to watch
is college basketball. Oh, that’s not
true, I really prefer high school basketball, but I’ve gotten out of the habit
of attending games, and do my spectating from the easy chair sitting in front of
the HD tv.
Take
tonight…Ohio
State Illinois 9 p.m. I
will watch!
Saturday,
the Kentucky Wildcats will be at
Tennessee
Next
Sunday, the Buckeye boys will have a re-match with Indiana, AT HOME this time,
and we hope they will give the Hoosiers a rough and tumble game resulting in
victory for the boys in scarlet and grey.
OSU lost their first game at Indy, by a narrow foul-induced score.
On Monday,
my brother Paul, of Sedan Crabtree Road, McDermott, and I made a road trip to
Flemingsburg, Kentucky, to attend a livestock sale in that neat, and relatively
near-by town of 3,000.
I have
been in Flemingsburg a few times in the last couple of years, accompanying,
Linda Noel, of Second
Street Portsmouth
Flo didn’t
have the title of “assistant editor”, but she was the smartest grammarian in our
small staff in those days. And, Flo and
James (Count) McConnell were outstanding, and nationally known, art-glass
dealers for many years, so Linda comes by the antique business honestly.
Linda
lives next door to my girlfriend, Nora Netzer, at Forest Heights, Portsmouth and
the three of us hang out together some.
Linda’s long-time husband, Jack Noel, the retired fireman, died a couple
of years ago.
Oh, and
coincidentally, my long-time Burt’s Lane, Stout, neighbors, Dee and Nancy Mauk,
have moved into the Forest Heights apartment in the adjoining duplex to Linda,
next door to, and in-between Linda and Nora.
Dee and
Naancy are settling in since moving last Fall.
On one of
our Flemingsburg trips, Linda, an only child, said, “You know I was really grown
before I knew my Dad’s name was James…I remember somebody asked if Jim McConnell
was my Dad, and I said, ‘No, my Dad’s name is Count!” Count, who was born in 1911, was an
outstanding Portsmouth Trojan athlete of his day, excelling at all sports. And, Florine was a star basketball player for
the Trojans during the late twenties and early thirties.
No, my
part-time farmer brother Paul, did not buy any of the beef calves that were
being sold at Flemingsburg on Monday, but we had a good time anyway. It was a new experience for me, and he had
never been to that particular stock sale.
What sold us on the idea of going though was my memory of the wonderful
Country-ham and fried potato breakfast they sell in the Stockyard
Restaurant. It is really a nice place to
get a great meal, and they are open every day, not just their Monday and
Saturday livestock sale days. If you
want to have a good old Kentucky
Fantastic ! Thanks Bob L.!
