??? How old would you be if you didn't know how old you really are?

That silly place just on the brink of maturity..

(somewhere between your's and Allen's age... )

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 days, you would produce enough energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Now I know what to tell my old drill sergeant!


ADVICE FOR KIDS, FROM KIDS:

When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?" don't answer him.

Never tell your mom her diet's not working.

"Most people want a title, not a towel..."

Pastor J. Hovater 2005

It was a VETERAN, not a reporter, who guaranteed freedom of the press.
It was a VETERAN, not a poet, who guaranteed freedom of speech.
It was a VETERAN, not a campus organizer, who guaranteed the freedom to demonstrate.
It was a VETERAN, not a minister, who guaranteed the freedom worship.
It was a VETERAN, not a salesman, who guaranteed the freedom to own property.
It was a VETERAN, not a travel agent, who guaranteed the freedom to travel.
It was a VETERAN, not a politician, who guaranteed the freedom to vote.
It was a VETERAN, who salutes the FLAG, risks it all for the FLAG, and who is buried beneath the FLAG.

- J.L. Sager

Hope is that thing with feathers-

That perches in the soul-

And sings the tune without the words-

And never stops----at all.

Emily Dickinson

"It is not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the future. Still, I avow my hope and faith, sure and inviolate, that in the days to come the British and American peoples will for their own safety and for the good of all walk together side by side in majesty, in justice, and in peace."

- Sir Winston Churchill

*Now repeat after me*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made - I'm a disciple of HIS. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking cheap giving and dwarfed goals!"

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and I labor with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrowmy way is rough, my comapnions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know and work until He stops me. And, when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me... My banner will be clear!

NOW!

Awesome declaration! I will read it every day!

Thanks Steve!

smooth.

My Sunday School class uses excerpts from Deuteronomy.... when someone asks 'how are you doing?' this should be your response....
"I am blessed and highly favored of God, coming and going and in the city and in the fields. How are you?"
try itt tomorrow it is fun to watch thier reaction, and you instantly know a believer when you say it because they respond so favorably.

Amen...blessed coming and going!!!!! /

Don't get into an argument with an idiot.
First, he will bring you down to his level, and second, he will beat you because he's got more experience.

Forgive so that you may be forgiven...

embie got a "B" in that awful class.

I gotta work on that forgiveness thing...

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever."

- Thomas Jefferson

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
