FYI everyone:
The tree

Santa was having a bad year. He got up and couldn't find his boots, and Mrs. Clause finally came in and found it for him and when he bent over to put it on he ripped a big hole in his pants. Labor strikes by the elves had put him way behind schedule, the reindeer were sick, and to top it off someone had stolen his sleigh and he couldn't get a replacement until December 31. He went to the barn to see if the reindeer were ready, but they were all hung over from the Christmas party the night before. He went in to his house and slammed the door and broke the glass. He went for a drink of milk but it was sour and the cookies were stale. Some angels saw that Santa Claus was in a bad mood, so they decided to cheer him up. The angels went out and got the biggest, bushiest Christmas tree they could find, and off they went to Santa's house. They knocked on the door, and when Santa Claus opened the door, the angels shouted, "Merry Christmas, Santa! Where would you like your tree?" And this is how the angel got on top of the Christmas tree.

just remember it's the winners write the history, and that's not always correct!

They don't teach history like they used to, it doesn't surprise me at all for your neighbor to think that Pearl Harbor was a movie. Perhaps it's best to not make a big thing out of something that happened in 1941. My social nickname is "DOC." this is on me by my shipmates in 1958 by joining the Navy. The reason for this my name is Livingston, "Dr. Livingstone I presume." Today when I express that anyone unless you're a senior citizen like myself nobody remembers Stanley and Livingstone.

Those of us that remember Pearl Harbor and what it means are becoming too few in number to have very much impact.

I don't remember who said it, "those who do not study history are bound to repeat it."

Most churches don't preach Christianity. They push Paulisum! most of the Bible they use are the writings of Paul.

Examine your next church service and see if you find any Jesus in it. Bet you don't!

THINK ABOUT IT..

".... The prophets spoke about a messiah. Isaiah said that he would take the sins of all of us upon himself. He has done that. He gave his life willingly to redeem us from our sins."
"I believe that." She said. "That much of God's work has been done. How sad it is that through 2 thousand years, people have added to it and changed it until the beautiful simplicity of God's plan has been distorted."
"Is it so surprising that when the messiah came, first he was crucified, and then when being a Christian became acceptable, the one they crucified became a cause to murder others."

From the book; Return to Zion by Bodie Thoene

My question:
Will lasting peace in Israel be the first signs of the reign of peace? Is it true that as long as there is conflict between the Jew and the Moslem then the promise of scripture can never come about??

Think about it.

THE SEEDS WE SOW

Mark 12:28-31 (New American Standard Bible)
28 One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"
29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;
30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALLYOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'
31 "The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Every major religion in the world has in its dogma, in one phrase or another the message in verse 31. Somewhere in the teachings it will encourage, “love your neighbor as yourself.”
The author Eric Fromm writes in his book “The Art of loving,” that none of these great religions mention that you cannot love your neighbor unless you love yourself. In loving yourself I do not mean conceited love, but rather the kind of self-love leads to better health, mental, physical and spiritual. All of us should have pride in what we say and do. Try thinking of the pride as an acronym, P. R. I. D. E. What this stands for; Personal Responsibility in Daily Effort. If we plant life’s garden with P.R.I.D.E. then our harvest must be bountiful and beautiful.

I apologize for this being so long, but I feel it needs to be said.

when I was in the fifth grade we had to memorize three things. The first was the multiplication tables, the second was the 23rd Psalm and finally Robert W. services poem the cremation of Sam McGee.

To this day I do not know the multiplication table, I concern myself only with the first seven words of the 23rd Psalm. I can and will do the creation of Sam McGee at the drop of a hat. I have never forgotten that epic poem.

the bumblebee and the honey bee are the only bees that make honey.
The proportion of the bumblebees wing to its body mass says that the bumblebee cannot fly.
The bumblebee, howeve, doesn't know this and flies all the time and make a little honey every day.
