100 days, 100 WHAT !

I barrowed this link from, “The American Elephant.” Just something to consider as we move through this thing called time.

"Only 100? The New York Post has the rundown."

Will Muslim conquer the world?

The Youtube listed below is seven and half minutes of concerning demographics. Personally, it is worth investing your time to watch. Will the Muslim religion conquer the world without the use of a single weapon?

A new use for Hard Rock !

TUSCARORA, Nev. -- The residents of this tiny town, anticipating an imminent attack, will be ready with a perimeter defense. They'll position their best weapons at regular intervals, faced out toward the desert to repel the assault.
Then they'll turn up the volume.
Rock music blaring from boomboxes has proved one of the best defenses against an annual invasion of Mormon crickets. The huge flightless insects are a fearsome sight as they advance across the desert in armies of millions that march over, under or into anything in their way.
But the crickets don't much fancy Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones, the townspeople figured out three years ago. So next month, Tuscarorans are preparing once again to get out their extension cords, array their stereos in a quarter-circle and tune them to rock station KHIX, full blast, from dawn to dusk. "It is part of our arsenal," says Laura Moore, an unemployed college professor and one of the town's 13 residents.

Just my thoughts;
Mervi

Thank you.

I would like to take this space today to say a big thank you to all who attended the memorial service for my mother-in-law. Those in attendance exceeded the seating capacity of our church, which are two hundred people. The undertaker and I estimated there to be close to two hundred sixty in attendance. This included about thirty ministers of the gospel. Pastor Abby presented a flag which had flown over the Head Quarters of the UPCI.
We, as a family, are very appreciative for all who took time to be with us, called or sent cards during this time of loss. Our words lack the ability to express our thankfulness for the prayers which have gone up on behalf of our families.

Mervin & Virginia

Sis Tredway

Sis Tredway’s memorial service is planned for tomorrow at 11 a.m. at the church here in Strathmore.
Virginia is doing well with all the planning, organizing and the never ending details when you put together a memorial for your mother. What to sing, who to sing, how many will come, do we have enough chairs, how long a power point and on and on.
I would ask that you continue to offer prayers for the many members of the Tredway families.

Prayer Request !

To all our friends in the land of Blog.
Your prayers and kind thoughts are requested for both the Tredway and Harper families. Sis. Tredway went to be with her Lord this evening about 10:30 pm. Yes, her passing was much unexpected and very quick. It was a great blow to my wife, her two brothers, nieces and nephews, as well as Sis Tredway’s brother and sister. Yes it is approaching 2:30 am. The families are all home and tomorrow they will start the process of planning her memorial service.

THOSE born 1920-1979 TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As infants &children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.

And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms.......

WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good .

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

Just a thought for the day:
