Nine Thoughts to Ponder
Number 9
Death is the number 1 killer in the world.
Number 8
Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 7
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 6
Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them
apart. If you see a gleam in a man's eyes, make him a sandwich.
Number 5
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to
use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
Number 4
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital,
dying of nothing.
Number 3
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention
to criticism.
Number2
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world
is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Number 1
Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today might burn
your ass tomorrow.
... and as a friend recently said to me:Don't worry about old age. It doesn't last that long.

Welcome
Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.
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.

Nine thoughts to ponder ... Remember I didn't write No. 1, but I am repeating it ... Thx Sarah R!
Thx Lyle S! ... Maybe the best commerecial - Not a word spoken ...
Wow!
Maybe the best commercial ever filmed and not a word is spoken Food City, a Food Chain, is located in the Southeast, headquartered in Bristol, TN. This is a great commercial. Not a word spoken, and none needed. Very few commercials deserve to go viral. This one does.

What is an infidel? ... Thx Gary I !
What is an INFIDEL?
This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races!!
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.
During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic , Protestant and Muslim faiths … who each explained their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say.
The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.When it was my turn, I directedmy question to the Muslim and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong , but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declare a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.
If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation he replied, 'Non-believers!'I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie
jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr.Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless!I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a
question:
Would you rather have your Allah ,who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven , or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam , and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!I think everyone in the WORLD!!! should be required to read this , but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized , unless each of us sends it on!THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE !!

Good Ideas ... Thx
Good Ideas

I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.
------------------------------
I changed my car horn to
gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.
------------------------------
You can tell a lot about a
woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's
probably angry.
------------------------------
Gone are the days when girls
used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like
their fathers.
------------------------------
You know that tingly little
feeling you get when you really like someone? That's
common sense leaving your body.
------------------------------
I don't like making plans for
the day because then the word "premeditated" get's thrown
around in the courtroom.
------------------------------
I didn't make it to the gym
today. That makes five years in a row
------------------------------
I decided to change calling
the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim.
I feel so much better saying
I went to the jim this morning
------------------------------
Dear paranoid people who
check behind shower curtains for murderers; if you find one, what's your
plan?

Veterans rumble and all conservatives must vote ... Thx Ramey H!
ary Contracts - www.uscontractorregistration.com - Learn About Available Government Contracts in your Area Today.
Veterans Rumble! Please Read
=============
Charlene Myers is one of my DAV buddies. She helps me out with Operation Yellow Ribbon. As a veteran, she is very pro military – maybe even more so than I am (if that’s possible). Take the couple of minutes to read this, it will give you hope that we can change this around. It doesn't matter to me if you are a veteran or not. Please read and forward this to all your e-mail buddies. It needs to go viral. The 2014 United States elections will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested in this election. Get out and VOTE!!!!) A movement has been started by our armed forces to get out the vote in 2014...They are organizing themselves, but this can be done by all of us. The President the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training either. Now, the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs International Criminal Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law, and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic control of the Senate, has nearly all the power. If the Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from unnecessary danger. Please consider this, and send it on to your mailing lists. Interestingly enough, when GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. - More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the five years before that. Many have died since August. During the last six month, over 50 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those who are hired to be a "force for good in Afghanistan." The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed. There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent incompetence of this president. It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 5 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president's party. Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members. This is no small special interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of the November 2014 mid-term election, if they all respond. The one million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, buta turnout to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die. Veterans: Please forward to your lists. High Priority! R. Michael "Mike" Sand, PIO VVA Detroit Chapter 9 | |||||||||||
This is beautiful regarding death ... Thx Marge R!
This really is the most beautiful explanation of death I've ever heard.
~DEATH~
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT
A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to
Leave the examination room and said,
'Doctor, I am afraid to die.Tell me what lies on the other side..'
Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know..'
'You don't know? You're, a Christian man,and don't know what's on the other side?'
The doctor was holding the handle of the door;On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,
And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room
And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
'Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before.
He didn't know what was inside..
He knew nothing except that his master was here,
And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death,
But I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough.'
(sorry - cannot break this)
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly
Where you are meant to be..
I believe that friends are quiet angels
Who lift us to our feet when our wings
Have trouble remembering how to fly.
Just pass this on...
Do not break this, PLEASE!!!!!
