God's accuracy ... Thanks Clay!

Thanks Clay!  It is good to have reminders of just how accurate our God is.

God's Accuracy

Fascinating, I've never given most of this a thought!!!!

God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.

For example:

-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;

-those of the canary in 14 days;

-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;

-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;

-those of the mallard in 35 days;

-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.

(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant... The four

legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same

direction.. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that

this animal would have a huge body, too large to live

on two legs... For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so

that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.

A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.

How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!

God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections
and segments, as well as in the number of grains.

-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.

-Each orange has an even number of segments.

-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.

-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.

-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of

bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has

an even number and the next row an odd number.

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore

twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.

All grains are found in even numbers on the

stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold,

and a hundred fold - all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified

times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist,

once said that if he had a conservatory containing the

right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell

the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and

those that were closed!

The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord
in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life.
If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure..

Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully
guide them to a profitable end.

I HOPE YOU FIND THIS AS FASCINATING AS I DID

.....WOW!!!!


May God Bless You

In Ways You Never Even Dreamed Today!

GOD IS GOOD; PRAISING HIM IN ALL THINGS!

Quiz for Bright People

There are only nine questions.

This is a quiz for people who know everything!

I found out in a hurry that I didn't. These are not trick questions.

They are straight questions with straight answers..

1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

3 Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters ' dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least

half of them?

8. Name the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form except fresh.

9. Name 6 or more things that you can wear on your feet beginning with the letter 'S.'

Answers To Quiz:

1. The one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends: Boxing.

2. North American landmark constantly moving backward: Niagara Falls .. The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.

3. Only two vegetables that can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons: Asparagus and rhubarb.

4. The fruit with its seeds on the outside: Strawberry.

5. How did the pear get inside the brandy bottle? It grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.

6. Three English words beginning with dw: Dwarf, dwell and dwindle...

7. Fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar: Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation mark, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.

8. The only vegetable or fruit never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh: Lettuce.

9. Six or more things you can wear on your feet beginning with 'S': Shoes, socks, sandals, sneakers, slippers, skis, skates, snowshoes,stockings, stilts.

MADE IN AMERICA-----------A REMINDER FOR 2012

I DIDN'T KNOW HALLMARK CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA !

That is also why I don't buy cards at Hallmark anymore, They are made

in China and are more expensive! I buy them at Dollar Tree - 50 cents

each and made in USA.

I have been looking at the blenders available on the Internet. Kitchen
Aid is MADE IN the US. Top of my list already...

Yesterday I was in Wal Mart looking for a wastebasket. I found some
made in China for $6.99. I didn't want to pay that much so I asked the
lady if they had any others. She took me to another department and they
had some at $2.50 made in USA. They are just as good.

Same as a kitchen rug I needed. I had to look, but I found some made in
the USA - what a concept! - and they were $3.00 cheaper.

We are being brainwashed to believe that everything that comes from
China and Mexico is cheaper. Not so.

One Light Bulb at a Time...

I was in Lowe's the other day and just out of curiosity, I looked at
the hose attachments. They were all made in China .

The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I
checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA .

Start looking, people.....In our current economic situation, every
little thing we buy or do affects someone else - most often, their job.

My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is now
marked "made in Mexico ."I don't buy it anymore.

My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico ... now I have
switched to Crest.

You have to read the labels on everything.

This past weekend I was at Kroger...I needed 60W light bulbs and
Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to

the GE brand I normally buy -- was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday

Value.” I picked up both types of bulbs and compared them: they were

the same except for the price...the GE bulbs cost more than the Everyday

Value brand, but the thing that surprised me the most was that that GE was

made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - you guessed

it - the USA at a company in Cleveland, Ohio.

It's Way past time to start finding and buying products you use every
day that are made right here.

So, on to the next aisle: Bounce Dryer Sheets...yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada. The Everyday Value

brand cost less, and was MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday

and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using

for years, at almost half the price.

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA -

the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address
book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time!

Stop buying from overseas companies - you're sending the jobs there.
(We should have awakened a decade ago....)

Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their
jobs and create more jobs here in the USA. I passed this on.....will you???

2011-2012 Kentucky Frosh and Sophmores

Understand, we don’t recruit a young player saying that there is no question he’s a one-and-one player. We don’t know! Are you telling me that we knew Eric Bledsoe had a chance out of high school to go in the first round after one year? If they tell you that, they’re lying. Those same people also said our three freshman starters from last season would leave after one year. Two came back because they wanted to win a national championship and the other one that left had a 4.0 grade-point average and 60 credit hours.

I tell every player that we recruit that I don’t have a magic wand. At the end of the year, we’ll see where everything is, we’ll give you the information, and you and your family make a choice to stay or come back. I would love to coach all of these guys for four years and have them earn a college degree in four years, but if they have an opportunity to reach their dreams, I will not be the person to hold them back, nor will I let anybody at this university or in my program do it.

~ John Calipari

I don’t see Cal pushing players out the door.  I see him evaluating their development and their potential earnings and advising them according to the possibilities inherent therein.

Would Knight have gone higher in the draft after one year.  Would Cuz have gone higher with one more year.  Doubtful.

Knight maintained a high GPA throughout High School.  If memory serves, his mother was a teacher.  I doubt he’d have gotten away with slouching off on his studies with such being the case.

The One and Done System is self perpetuating.  In order to get the most talent players, Cal or any coach must exhibit the ability to get these kids to the next level in the most expeditious manner.  Holding them back or being unable to develop their games would be disadvantageous to  Kentucky and Calipari.

Cal misspoke only slightly when he made the statement that the Wall/Cuz/Bledsoe/Orton/PPat Draft Night was the greatest night in Kentucky History.  That night will and has lead to an ongoing influx of talent to Kentucky Basketball that should result in a National Title.  At least one National Title.

Cal does not have to pay players to come to UK.  The most talented, the more diligent and the more intelligent players will come to UK because they know that it is *THE* path to the next level and that hard work will pay off with a greater pay day than any booster could possibly offer them for a one or two year stay at some other school.

With that in mind, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Muhammad and Noel here next year.

The kids that want to play with the best and win are the kids that are going to come to Kentucky.  We’ve seen that in this last class.  These kids came together because they want to win.

Some of these kids will actually stay so as to increase their long term potential.  That is what the intelligent kids will take into consideration.  The selfish, impatient kids should go elsewhere and probably will be encouraged to do so.  Such has been the pattern that I’ve noticed since Calipari has joined the Kentucky family.

Calipari wants to win.  As Wooden and other Coaching Greats have made quite plain in book after book, talent wins.  Well prepared talent wins more.  Experience is good if a coach can get it, but, talent bests experience.  This team is proving that right now.

Cal’s challenge is to ensure that these kids are prepared for the games and prepared for their futures.  If he does that, UK will win and the kids will win which will bring in more and more talent which will bring more and more wins.

 

GO BIG BLUE!!!

True story ... Thanks Lyle!

Only women of a certain era will fully appreciate this.... True story.

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited.

One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.

She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.

There was only one other patron in the store:
Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.

The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes.

The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.

Pull yourself together! She chides herself. You're a happily married woman with three children, you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!

The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.

When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty.

Where's my ice cream cone?? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something! No ice cream cone was in sight…

With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.
His face broke into his familiar,warm,friendly grin and he said to the woman

'You put it in your purse'
