Thank our Lord for your teenagers!!

I found this picture sometime back and forget about it. This young lady has become the Genius books record holder for the most facial piercings.












So, the next time you walk by one of your teenagers, blow their mind. Stop and tell them how good they are doing.

Home from UCSF.

I have returned from our trip to UCSF the outcome is that I am looking at my third surgery on my right kidney. For some reason that kidney keeps producing cyst, the one that is there now is approximately eighty inch across. The surgeon has asked that the hospital get my in STAT, a must before the first of the year. The cyst is between the kidney and another organ. Thus it is pressing against the kidney causing damage to the kidney it’s self. Your prayers are asked and very deeply appreciated.

Can you believe this one?

WELLINGTON (Reuters) -
A New Zealand rape victim drove her rapist to a police station when he fell asleep in his car after assaulting the woman, local media reported on Wednesday.
Vipul Sharma, 22, was found guilty of abduction and two charges of rape by the Auckland District Court Tuesday, court officials told Reuters Wednesday.
The New Zealand newspaper said Sharma met the woman at an Auckland bar in 2006 and later drove her first to a park where he raped her in the back seat of his car.
After the attack Sharma allowed the woman to drive and fell asleep in the passenger seat, so the woman drove him to Auckland Central police station where he was arrested, said the newspaper.
"She showed a lot of bravery and common sense. I have nothing but respect for what she has endured," police detective Simon Welsh told the newspaper.

Just a note to my friends in the land of blog.

Virginia and I will be voting here shortly and then headed to UCSF, I have a third rather large cyst on my right kidney. I have an appointment with the specialist who removed the last cyst. He drained over 700 mml of cystic fluid from the cyst before he could remove it. I am asking your prayers both as we travel and our meeting with the Doctor on Wednesday afternoon.

From the judge who kept the Ten Commandments.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama . Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama ! The judge's poem sums it up quite well.
America the beautiful,
Or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
Your house is on the sand.
Our children wander aimlessly
Poisoned by cocaine
Choosing to indulge their lusts,
When God has said abstain
From sea to shining sea,
Our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
And a need to always pray
We've kept God in ourTemples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
And Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
Who throw reason out the door,
Too soft to place a killer
In a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
Before he leaves the womb.
You think that God's notAngry,
that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
Before His judgment comes?
How are we to face our God,
From Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
But stem this evil tide?
If we who are His children,
Will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
And mend our evil way:
Then God will hear from Heaven;
And forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
And those who live within.
But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
Withdraw His hand from Thee.
~~Judge Roy Moore~~

This says it all. May we all forward this message and offer our prayers for Judge Moore to be blessed and for America to wake up and realize what we need to do to keep OUR? America the Beautiful.Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in Prayer.?????? He has stood firm and needs our support.

IN GOD WE TRUST!

Your vote is needed!

This Sunday before election day, I ould ask you to consider the following.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE VOTE

Mary W. Morgan, Supervisor of Elections

The most often heard excuse for not voting in an election is "my one
little vote won't make a difference." Yet history is full of instances
proving the enormous power of one single vote. In many cases, the
course of nations has been changed because one individual ballot was
cast -- or not cast -- depending upon your point of view. Consider
this:

*In 1645, one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England.
* In 1649, one vote literally cost King Charles I of England his
head. The vote to behead him was 67 against and 68 for -- the ax
fell thanks to one vote.
* In 1714, one vote placed King George I on the throne of England
and restored the monarchy.
* In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German (at least according to folk lore.)

* In a 1955 city election in Huron, Ohio, the mayor was elected to office by one vote.
* In a 1959 city election, mayors of both Rose Creek and Odin, Minnesota were elected to their respective offices by one vote.
* In the 1960 presidential election, an additional one vote per precinct in Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, and Texas may have altered the course of America's modern history by denying John F. Kennedy the presidency and placing Richard Nixon in the White House 8 years earlier. * In 1962, the governors of Maine, Rhode Island, and North Dakota were all elected by a margin of one vote per precinct.
* In 1984, a Monroe County, Florida commissioner was elected by one vote.

Please use your ONE vote on election day;
