I am so very thankful for a man who saw something in a rebellious youth, that he would invested many years training that young man to be a Christian.

Thank you Bro. I. H. Terry

Thanksgiving (1)

We are starting the week leading to Thanksgiving Day. A day on / in which we give thanks for what we have today, what we had in our yesterdays and what we are looking forward to. During other times I would tell you of all my toys, here and at this time it is not about toys but those people who have touched my life!
Almost sixty (60) years ago a teenage boy came home one afternoon from football practice. I looked to the yard east of where I lived and in that yard were Gill Stormont, Cecil Tingly, Dallas Medford and I.H. Terry. These men were building an aluminum boat. I thank the Lord for using the right bait at the right time to forever change the life of that teenage boy.

G O G R E E N ! ! !

This came to me in an e-mail this morning.
I shall NOT approach my soap box! I will allow this to do it for me!

From a child!

PALM SUNDAY :
IT WAS PALM SUNDAY AND, BECAUSE OF A SORE THROAT, FIVE-YEAR-OLD JOHNNY STAYED HOME FROM CHURCH WITH A SITTER. WHEN THE FAMILY RETURNED HOME, THEY WERE CARRYING SEVERAL PALM BRANCHES . THE BOY ASKED WHAT THEY WERE FOR. "PEOPLE HELD THEM OVER JESUS' HEAD AS HE WALKED BY."
"WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT," THE BOY FUMED, "THE ONE SUNDAY I DON'T GO, HE SHOWS UP!"

CHILDREN'S SERMON:
ONE EASTER SUNDAY MORNING AS THE MINISTER WAS PREACHING THE CHILDREN'S SERMON, HE REACHED INTO HIS BAG OF PROPS AND PULLED OUT AN EGG. HE POINTED AT THE EGG AND ASKED THE CHILDREN, "WHAT'S IN HERE?" "I KNOW!" A LITTLE BOY EXCLAIMED. "PANTYHOSE!! "

FIRST TIME USHERS ! :
A LITTLE BOY IN CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME WATCHED AS THE USHERS PASSED AROUND THE OFFERING PLATES.
WHEN THEY CAME NEAR HIS PEW, THE BOY SAID LOUDLY, "DON'T PAY FOR ME DADDY. I'M UNDER FIVE."

Smile !

CLIMB THE WALLS :
"OH, I SURE AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU," THE LITTLE BOY SAID TO HIS GRANDMOTHER ON HIS MOTHER'S SIDE. "NOW MAYBE DADDY WILL DO THE TRICK HE HAS BEEN PROMISING US.."
THE GRANDMOTHER WAS CURIOUS. "WHAT TRICK IS THAT?" SHE ASKED.
"I HEARD HIM TELL MOMMY THAT HE WOULD CLIMB THE WALLS IF YOU CAME TO VISIT," THE LITTLE BOY ANSWERED.

THE WATER PISTOL:
WHEN MY THREE-YEAR-OLD SON OPENED THE BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER, HE DISCOVERED A WATER PISTOL.. HE SQUEALED WITH DELIGHT AND HEADED FOR THE NEAREST SINK.
I WAS NOT SO PLEASED.. I TURNED TO MOM AND SAID, "I'M SURPRISED AT YOU. DON'T YOU REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO DRIVE YOU CRAZY WITH WATER GUNS?"
MOM SMILED AND THEN REPLIED... "I REMEMBER!!"

GRANDMA'S AGE :

LITTLE JOHNNY ASKED HIS GRANDMA! HOW OLD SHE WAS.
GRANDMA ANSWERED, "39 AND HOLDING.."
JOHNNY THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN SAID, "AND HOW OLD WOULD YOU BE IF YOU LET GO?"

Ann Colter & Foot Hood.

"The massacre at Fort Hood last week is the perfect apotheosis of the liberal victimology described in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America."

According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of: Muslims or government-run health care systems."

Just a thought!

“Life is short.

Forgive quickly,

kiss slowly,

love truly,

laugh uncontrollably,

and never regret anything

that made you smile.”

The White House and Fox.

"One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox, he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.

The message was, " 'We better not see you on again,' " said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue."

Oh the mask that are worn

Last week in Sis. Hopper’s blog there was a reference to a “False Face.” There was an assotied comment which, did the wrong thing, it got me to thinking. The first word that came to me was CHARLATAN, so here is where it took me. Oh, my source is Merriam Webster – on – line. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/charlatan

One making usually showy pretenses to knowledge or ability
A person who is not what he or she pretends to be
To alter, manipulate, or treat so as to give a spuriously genuine appearance to
You can see that a person who deals with or in being a charlatan changes the appearance to appear one of knowledge and understanding for self?
Then we can or have seen the fraud. This is a person who puts on this mask to appear as something different. You can take your choice as to what their goal is by trying to fake someone into or out of whatever!
How about that person who dawns the mask of a fake! These are those who seem to alter or manipulate a subject, a point of reference or a set of guidelines. What they claim to be and what they are for real will come to light, things just don’t come together. Oh they can appear so real, true, authentic, and pious. Yet in time they are found to be wanting.

Why do people ware mask?
Personal opinion, these people desire to lead you or I into what and wherever so that they will have a form of momentary control.


Just my thoughts as I pass this way;
