Thanks Marge Rusnak ... A reminder of God

It doesn’t make any difference whether you go regularly to church or used to go or never went at all, you have to think about God and your future sometimes. You never know when you have to reach out for a friend or family member for help or comfort. Don’t forget about God. He never forgets about you!
Time For God





Read only if you have

time for God

Let me tell you, make sure you read

all the way to the bottom.

I almost deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to the end
God,

when I received this

e-mail, I thought...
I don't have time for this...

And, this is really

inappropriate during work.

Then, I realized that this kind

of thinking is.... Exactly, what

has caused a lot of the problems

in our world today.

We try to keep God in

church on Sunday morning....

Maybe,

Sunday night...


likely event

o f a
We do like to have Him

around during sickness....
And, of course,

at funerals.

However, we don't have

time, or room, for Him

during work or play...

Because.. That's the part of

our lives we think... We can,

and should, handle

on our own.
May God forgive me

for ever thinking...

[See the

That.... There is a time

or place where..

HE is not to be

FIRST

in my life.

We should always

have time to remember

all HE has

done for us.
If, You aren't

ashamed to

do this...
Please follow the

directions.
Jesus said, 'If you are

ashamed of me, I will be

ashamed of you

before my Father.'

Not

ashamed?

Pass this on ONLY

IF YOU

MEAN IT!!
Yes, .....



I DO

Love God.
HE is my source of

existence

and Savior.

He keeps me functioning

each and every day.

Without Him, I will be

nothing.

But, with Christ,

HE strengthens me.

(Phil 4:13)
This is the

simplest test.


If You Love God...

And, are not ashamed of

all the marvelous things

HE has done for you...
Send this to ten people

and the person who

sent it to you!

Message removed- A town called Pilsen, Czek

Carol and Clay Vice sent one of the most patriotic messages I have seen on the internet.  It was about a town named Plzen (SP) and pronounced Pilzen in Czechoslovakia, whose citizens annually line their streets to celebrate their liberation by American troops in 1945.

Our fallen and maimed and freedom fighters are remembered in such European towns.

As I was reading it, Clay, It disappeared.  I believe the internet police are in action, but i am just an old Tea Party or Gray-Haired Brigade member.

"Gray-Haired Brigade" ... Thanks Dr. Hovermale!

Gray Brigade



They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "baby boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time.





We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were.





We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration. In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age.





Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many.



But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II and fought in Korea and Vietnam. We can quote the pledge of allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America , we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the 'Star Spangled Banner', 'America' , and 'America the Beautiful' by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing.



We have lived what many of you have only read about in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.





Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.





It was the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democrat Congress. You fell for the "hope and change" which in reality was nothing but "hype and lies." You have tasted Socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all.





You make a lot of noise but most are all too interested in their careers or "climbing the social ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting.





Many of those who fell for the "great lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the kool-aid.



Now you're paying the price and complaining about it.





No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom. This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the 'Torch of Liberty' and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.





Well, don't worry youngsters, the Gray-Haired Brigade is here, and on ELECTION DAY we are going to take back our nation.





We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we're going, and in November we're going to the polls by the millions.



This land does not belong to the liar in the White House or to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the People", and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren.





So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our



country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Gray-Haired Brigade."

Darius Miller back from China Kentuckysportsradio.com

Many of my readers may not know Darius Miller.  But he is a valuable Kentucky basketball senior who played with an international USA team which toured China this summer.  Alan cutler had these statements from Darius:

[Comments (5)] [link] Darius Miller talks China


by Matthew Hays @ 9:30 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions





Darius Miller is back stateside and he took some time to answer some questions about his time in China. Alan Cutler took some time to talk to Darius and get his thoughts on the Middle Kingdom. Here are some of the highlights:



At first he didn’t want to talk about the food in China.



“I feel like we take a lot of things for granted here, honestly. We couldn’t even drink the water in our rooms. I feel like a lot of people in the United States take things for granted so it really opens your eyes to see how fortunate we are to live here.”



As far as being a tourist.



“It was a very nice place where we were. They said the city we were in had about 20 million people in it and that there are about three cities that have 20 million people. The overall experience was just crazy.”

" ... There's a mousetrap in the house ..." Thanks Marge!

Subj: A Journey Called Life..worth the read





A mouse looked through the crack in the wall



to see the farmer and his wife open a package.



"What food might this contain?", the mouse wondered.

He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.






Retreating to the farmyard,



the mouse proclaimed this warning :



"There is a mousetrap in the house!



There is a mousetrap in the house!"













The chicken clucked and scratched,



raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse,



I can tell this is a grave concern to you,



but it is of no consequence to me.



I cannot be bothered by it."



The mouse turned to the pig and told him,



"There is a mousetrap in the house!



There is a mousetrap in the house!"













The pig sympathized, but said,



"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,



but there is nothing I can do about it



but pray..



Be assured you are in my prayers."











The mouse turned to the cow and said,



"There is a mousetrap in the house!



There is a mousetrap in the house!"











The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you,



but it's no skin off my nose."





> So, the mouse returned to the house,



head down and dejected,



to face the farmer's mousetrap



. . . Alone.. .. .









That very night



a sound was heard throughout the house



-- the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.









The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.



In the darkness, she did not see it.



It was a venomous snake



whose tail was caught in the trap.









The snake bit the farmer's wife.







The farmer rushed her to the hospital.







When she returned home she still had a fever.



Everyone knows you treat a fever



with fresh chicken soup.



So the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard



for the soup's main ingredient:







But his wife's sickness continued.



Friends and neighbours came to sit with her



around the clock.



To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.











But, alas, the farmer's wife did not get well...



She died.











So many people came for her funeral



that the farmer had the cow slaughtered



to provide enough meat for all of them



for the funeral luncheon.









And the mouse looked upon it all



from his crack in the wall



with great sadness.







So, the next time you hear



someone is facing a problem



and you think it doesn't concern you,



remember ---







When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.



We are all involved in this journey called life.



We must keep an eye out for one another



and make an extra effort



to encourage one another.











YOU MAY WANT TO SEND THIS



TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER



HELPED YOU OUT...











AND LET THEM KNOW



HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.









- REMEMBER -









EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD



IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY.









OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER



FOR A REASON.











One of the best things to hold onto



In this world is a FRIEND.

This is a good message! Have a great day


Did you know that when you carry the Bible, Satan has a headache; when you open it, he collapses; when he sees you reading it, he loses his strength; AND when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can't hurt you!

And did you also know... when you are about to forward this email to others, the devil will discourage you,

but forward it anyway.

Please pass it along because this country needs for Satan to take up residence somewhere else!!

Driving inm the rain ... thanks Tom & Carolyn!

Subject: FW: Driving in the rain ( This isn't a joke but good information to foll...


GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR







How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.







We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was given me by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful....even driving at night. One method used by Canadian Military Drivers for years.







Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad......







In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.







Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea..







Try it yourself and share it with your friends! Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling.







You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing semi's spraying you too.







Or the "kickup" if you are following a semi or car in the rain. They ought to teach that little tip in driver's training. It really does work..



And for a similar reason, why "Fog" lights must make WHITE light, or else are useless in FOG



Those YELLOW "FOG"lights are great in those blinding night SNOWstorms, and those big snowflakes become virtually invisible.



But YELLOW is useless in RAIN, FOG.







This next warning is a another good one! I wonder how many people know about this:







A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kinburn , Ontario was traveling between Kinburn & Ottawa. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!







When she explained to the OPP Officer what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON . She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the Officer told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the OPP Officer that was exactly what had occurred.







The Officer said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat



sun-visor - NEVER USETHE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN



THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry.







The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the officer), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries.







NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on. If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it.. You might have saved a life.
