My Mother Sent Me This – Appalling if True
This one comes from my mother and if it’s true, I find it to be appalling! What’s this country coming to?
HOORAH!!
ACLU vs. US Marines
If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That’s because they’re praying. This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. “These are federal employees,” says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, “on federal property and on federal time.. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately.”
When asked about the ACLU’s charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), “Screw the ACLU.” GOD Bless Our Warriors. Send the ACLU to Afganistan!
Please send this to people you know so everyone will know how stupid the ACLU is getting in trying to remove GOD from everything and every place in America
May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!
What’s wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
GOD BLESS YOU FOR
PASSING IT ON! Let us pray
And I will add my AMEN to that!
Love and blessings to you all, Terri
Driving in the rain — this may save your life; Via My Mother
GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR How to achieve good vision while driving during
a heavy downpour.We are not sure why it is so effective;
just try this method when it
rains heavily. This method was told
by a Police friend who had experienced and
confirmed it. It is useful….even driving
at night.Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or
FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy
downpour, yet the visibility in front of
the windshield is still bad……
In the event you face such a
situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any
model will do), and miracle! All of a
sudden, your visibility in front of
your windshield is perfectly clear,
as if there is no rain.
Make sure you always have a pair of SUN
GLASSES in your car, as you are not only
helping yourself to drive safely with good vision,
but also might save your friend’s life
by giving him this idea..
Try it yourself and share it with your
friends! Amazing, you still
see the drops on the
windshield, but not the sheet of
rain falling.
You can see where the rain bounces off the
road. It works to eliminate the
“blindness” from passing semi’s
spraying you too.
Or the “kickup” if you are following
a semi or car in the rain. They
ought to teach that little tip in
driver’s training. It really
does work..
This warning is a good one! I
wonder how many people know about
this~
A 36 year old female had an accident several
weeks ago and totaled her car. A
resident of Kilgore , Texas
she was traveling between Gladewater
& Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessively,
when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and
literally flew through the air. She
was not seriously injured but very stunned
at the sudden occurrence!
When
she explained to the highway patrolman
what had happened he told her something
that every driver should know -
NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON
She thought she was
being cautious by setting the cruise
control and maintaining a safe consistent
speed in the rain. But the
highway patrolman told her that if the cruise
control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane
and your tires lose contact with the pavement,
your car will accelerate to a higher rate
of speed making you take off
like an airplane. She told the patrolman
that was exactly what had occurred.
>
The patrolman said this warning should
be listed, on the driver’s seat
sun-visor – NEVER USETHE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN
THE PAVEMENT IS
WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning.
We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and
drive a safe speed – but we don’t tell them
to use the cruise control only when the
pavement is dry.The only person the accident victim found,
who knew this (besides the patrolman),
was a man who had a similar accident,
totaled
his car and sustained severe
injuries.
NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota
Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to
set the cruise control when the
windshield wipers are on. If you send this
to 15 people and only one of them
doesn’t know about this, then it was all
worth it.. You might have saved
a life.

The Nail; A Joke From My Brother
One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy:
‘The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today,
So I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow’s stall is in
The barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?’
The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial
Insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door.
Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows, and when
Amy sees the nail, she tells him, ‘This is the one right here.’
The man, assuming he is dealing with an airhead blonde, asks, ‘Tell me
Lady, ’cause I’m dying to know how would YOU know that this is the right
Cow to be bred?’
‘That’s simple,” she said. “by the nail that’s over its stall,’ she
Explains very confidently.
Laughing rudely at her, the man says, ‘And what, pray tell, is the nail
For?’
The blonde turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, ‘I guess
it’s to hang your pants on.’
( It’s nice to see a blonde winning once in a while.)

“No, but I can’t tell them that we were so poor that daddy had to make me himself!”

-
Scammers use a sense of urgency to force buyers to do things they wouldn’t normally do – such as disregard red flags and make a purchase without seeing the item in person;
-
Don’t use money transfer companies as an escrow service. Choose and contact a reputable escrow service yourself by verifying their legitimacy. Scammers will try to make you believe they are using an escrow service, when they have actually set up fake accounts using real company names;
-
Do not use money transfer services to purchase a vehicle online. They are not intended to be used for payment when doing business with a stranger you have not personally met; and
-
Be a cautious buyer and be prepared to walk away. Make sure you have the car checked out by a reputable company or someone you know and trust before purchasing it. If the seller does not allow this or tells you that he will only accept a money transfer before allowing you to see the car, walk away.
In Honor Of July 4th; via A Friend and Fellow Blogger
Happy 4th of July!….
Let’ s get this started now,
So it will be out there on the fourth!I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THEFLAG,
OF THEUNITED
STATES OF AMERICA ,AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR
WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE
NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE,
WITH LIBERTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! KEEP IT LIT!!
KEEP IT LIT!
For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be.
Please
Support all of the troops defending our Country.And God Bless our Military
who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July.
We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have,
of which we should be eternally grateful.
I watched the flag pass by one day.
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.I looked at him in uniform;
so young, so tall, so proud.
With hair cut square and eyes alert,
he’d stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil;
how many mothers’ tears?
How many pilots’ planes shot down?
How many died at sea?
How many foxholes were soldiers’ graves?
No, freedom isn’t free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
when everything was still.
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant ’Amen.’
When a flag had draped a coffin
of a brother or a friend.I thought of all the children,
of the mothers and the wives,
of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea.
Of unmarked graves in Arlington .
No, freedom isn’t free.
Enjoy Your Freedom
and
God Bless Our Troops.When you receive this,
please stop for a moment
and say a prayer for our servicemen.
Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one.MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA
AND MAY AMERICA BLESS GOD!!
Thank you Len for sending this to me, and yes I will keep it going!! God bless you, America and her troops!!!

CATHOLIC COFFEE MORNING IN ROME
‘Father’.”
The second Catholic man chirps, “My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him
‘Your Grace’.” The third Catholic gent says, “My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone bows their head and says
‘Your Eminence’.” The fourth Catholic man says very proudly, “My son is the Pope.. When he walks into a room people call him
‘Your Holiness’.” Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, The four men give her a subtle, “Well….?”

Nik Wallenda crossing Niagara FallsSARASOTA, Fla. – Despite Nik Wallenda’s frequent mentions of God the Father and Jesus during his high-wire crossing of Niagara Falls Friday night, an ABC News blog documenting virtually every moment of the achievement makes no mention of his verbal thanks to the Creator.
Wallenda, 33, the great grandson of legendary tightrope walker Karl Wallenda, walked across Niagara Falls on a high wire, as hundreds watched on TV at a block party in his Florida hometown of Sarasota, Fla., and millions of others tuned in for ABC television coverage.
Wallenda was fitted with a microphone during his tension-filled, 25-minute saunter at 200 feet high, and he could be heard praising God numerous times as he walked the length of four football fields from New York to Canada.
“Praise you, Father God. Praise you, Jesus!” Wallenda said on one occasion.
Not only were his comments audible, but on closed-caption TV sets broadcasting the event at restaurants, each of his words glorifying God were visible.
“Oh, my gosh, it’s an unbelievable view,” Wallenda continued. “You know I am so blessed to be in the position I am to be the first person in the world to be right here.”
His remarks provided a continuous theme of inspiration, as he said, “This is what dreams are made of, people. Pursue your dreams. Never give up. Mine might seem strange, but anybody that’s dealing with any battle – focus on that other side.”
But during the event itself and on an ABC News blog chronicling the astounding event, reporters did not mention Wallenda’s frequent shout-outs to God, and some viewers are taking issue with the omission.
“Not mentioned by the news media, Wallenda prayed throughout the walk, and we could hear him,” says Christian writer Jim Bramlett.
One commenter told ABC News, “How come this blog leaves out the part about him praising Jesus? All the details are complete, except this is noticeably left out. Are you that uncomfortable typing the name of Christ?”
Another wondered, “Why could any (just one) of your ‘correspondents’ not acknowledge Mr. Wallenda’s faith in Jesus and God, throughout his walk??? What is up with that? Really. This wasn’t a stunt. it was a challenge faced by a non-fundamentalist Christian. Why can’t media acknowledge that? Ask Nik about it. I bet he would like answering the question.”
The closest thing to matters of faith cited by ABC’s blog was noting at 10:08 p.m., “The Wallenda family prays together moments before he gets on the wire.”
Later at 10:56 p.m. once the crossing was complete, ABC’s blog noted: “Nik says, “It hasn’t sunk in yet. I’m grinning from ear to ear. This is something I’ve played over and over in my mind for the past 20 years. It’s surreal. I’m really blessed to be here.”
Before the walk took place, Wallenda was asked how he could be so calm, and he answered it was thanks to prayer, saying “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” an allusion to 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Despite the apparent omissions by journalists, Bramlett was thrilled with the broadcast, saying, “God used this sensational event to get His name proclaimed across the Earth and for people to see a man trusting in Him doing the seemingly impossible.”
