While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a "post turtle".". Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a "post turtle" was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a "post turtle".".
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dummy put him up there to begin with.".

I’ve looked at many studies, lessons, teachings, and ministries over the past months, part of my ongoing quest to define and align my walk as a believer and to discover the closest possible definition of the specific path that our Lord has for me and for my family. The resources available to us today are overwhelming in their abundance and it is a great joy to be able to listen to so many great teachers of the faith! Care and caution must be exercised and I’ve managed to trip myself up a few times along the way (the enemy lays many, many snares and pitfalls!) but have discovered and re-discovered a number of delightful paths, amazing insights, clearly delivered exhortations and simple Christian truths.
Today I was looking at Hank Hanegraaff’s “The Bible Answer Book for Students” and came across two fairly clear and concise articles defining reasons for attending church. I want to share them with you for your enjoyment and consideration.
Must Christians Attend Church
How Do I Find a Good Church
Teaching – Fellowship – Worship – Prayer – Proclamation – Oneness – Community – Witness – Contribution – Equipping – Worship

Let's see ... we have "a retired American university professor and freelance writer who has lived in the Middle East for many years" ... advocating that "Israel has been able to exercise unopposed control over Arabs in America" and that "The bigoted Arab-haters ... have been despicable for their monstrously distorted views and actions".So are we to believe that the Arab Muslim community is for free speech and freedom of religion? Is he kidding? PUH-LEASE!

I don't know who came up with the following; I received it in an email today. It's a very interesting manner of taking back lost ground. What do you think?
author unknown
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration for perceived errors. Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended. Well, duh..why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA!!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without. Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter?
If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is.. do not wait for the government to act.
Just go ahead and assume control on your own. THINK ABOUT THIS If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!! The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh The solution ?
Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, June 4 to July 4. EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW.
Send this to everybody you know.
Show them we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted.
If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, America

Jan and I are marking 16 years of marriage today.
We are blessed with each other, two beautiful daughters, a growing circle of brothers and sisters, great provision and abundant mercy from our Lord.
It has been an interesting year and we are thankful that God is using each event to mold and shape our hearts and lives. I won't pretend that we have made all the right moves, but we strive to let go, let God and let grow.
God is good.
We received a lesson last week on hearing from God. He still reveals Himself today, to those who incline an ear. He still reveals His presence, to those who seek Him. He has not left us and He has not forsaken us. He keeps His promises.
Your prayers are being used by Him, for us, for you, and for so many others. Mark your time well.
May our Father in heaven keep you at hand,
Steve

Humans nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago, study says
"Studies using mitochondrial DNA, which is passed down through mothers, have traced modern humans to a single "mitochondrial Eve," who lived in Africa about 200,000 years ago. The migrations of humans out of Africa to populate the rest of the world appear to have begun about 60,000 years ago, but little has been known about humans between Eve and that dispersal."
How interesting, other than the time stamp, it appears that "science" is getting around to the truth!

"Nine, eight, seven ..."
A crowd of about 10,000 people collectively began counting down on the University of Colorado's Norlin Quadrangle just before 4:20 p.m. Sunday.
Yet the massive puff of pot smoke that hovers over CU's Boulder campus every April 20 -- the date of an annual, internationally recognized celebration of marijuana -- began rising over the sea of heads earlier than normal this year.
"Oh forget it," one "
