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.

Wonder if it could help four old American men ... You and I make two of'em, Ralph! Could you loan vme $1500, momney man?

FOUR OLD ITALIAN LADIES

These four older ladies who lived in Italy always sat outside together near the church and chatted about when they were younger. One month ago they pooled their money together and bought a laptop.

Never having been, but having heard all about Florida, they just happened to click on St. Augustine, FL.

They read about the "Fountain of Youth" claimed by the Spaniards when they arrived there.

They collected up all they had left and sent for four bottles of the water.

As soon as it arrived, they drank as directed.

The rest of this story will make you a believer, because…

Here they are today...................

No.......This is TRUE! Really!

Would we lie to you?

We have a limited supply of this water available at an incredibly low price of just $1,499.95 a bottle.

Seriously ... HURRY BEFORE THE INVENTORY RUNS OUT!!!!

Make checks payable to:

"Democratic National Committee"

You can trust us, we would NEVER lie to you especially about your health and well being!

You know you can’t put anything on the internet that isn’t true!

Repeatable and worthy of thought for each American ... thx Brother George K. and Niece Linda O.!

I'm doing my part. How about you?
Subj: FW: This must be forwarded

Business creates wealth, government consumes it.

Dear Patriots...

This is one e-mail that should be sent around every year,

lest some  forget.

When I was a kid, I couldn't

understand why Eisenhower was so popular.

Maybe this will explain why.

General
Eisenhower Warned Us.

It is a matter of

history that when the Supreme

Commander of the Allied Forces,
General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps

he ordered all possible
photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding

villages to be ushered through the

camps and even made to bury the
dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect:
'Get it all on record now - get
the films - get the witnesses - because
somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up

and say that this never happened'
This week, the UK debated whether
to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it

'offends' the Muslim
population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.

However, this is a frightening

portent of the fear that is gripping
the world and how easily each country is givinginto it.
It is now more than 60 years after
the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent

as a memorial chain, in memory

of the, six million Jews, 20 million
Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were

'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten,experimented on and
humiliated' while many in the world looked the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iran ,
among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative

to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to

reach 400 million people!
Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around

the world.
How many years will it be before

the attack on the World Trade Center
'NEVER HAPPENED',

because it offends some Muslim???
Do not just delete this message; it will

take only a minute to pass this along.

FREEDOM
ISN'T FREE...SOMEONE HAD TO PAY FOR
IT!

Wood carving extraorinaire! ... Thx Dr. H!

Darrel Coverdell has sent out what the good people of Montana do to pass away the long winters. Here is the result of one winter’s work.

Subject: Wood Carver

What A Man Did With This Tree Trunk Will Blow Your Mind.

One tree, four years of work and an indescribable amount of talent: that’s what it took to create this incredible masterpiece. A famous Chinese wood carver chopped down a single tree and tirelessly worked on it for over four years to make this piece. Your jaw will hit the floor when you see what he created. It all started out with a simple tree trunk. Then Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four years creating this masterpiece.

That was 8,760 hours well spent. Share this awesome work with others.
