Beyond good

Beyond good The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. -Stephen Covey I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. -Psalm 69:30 Wise men talk because they have something to say, fools talk because they have to say something - Plato People don't always need advice, sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen, and a heart to understand them. Revenge is profitable, gratitude is expensive. -Edward Gibbon Why would you hunt endangered species Donald Jr. and Eric? Whether or not they think because they "donated" the spoils to the villager's that that exempts them from a "sport" which is disgusting, is irrelevant. Why not just donate money to the villager's and let them buy their own food! There are plenty of opportunities for hunting species that are over-populating and actually need to be thinned. Elephants in particular are social animals who are deeply affected at the loss of one of their own. Because someone doesn't give any credence to their ability to have emotion doesn't cut it!!! Here are two men with every opportunity and the financial means to do good and instead shove their "trophies" in everyone's face. Just give me a purpose as to why you would do this. What did they do with the tusk? Probably sold them. Lots of money in that. Even if you work a hundred hours a week that does not give you the right to fall off the face of the earth! Drunk driving can be legal in Minnesota? If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads. -Anatole France Intense love does not measure, it just gives. -Mother Teresa Truth: if a good product is produced, consumers will buy it, there will be no requirement for government subsidizing. The Volt: this is what happens when over-zealous pompous politicians "declare" what will be a good product. The Volt is a piece of shit that has been offered WAY before it was ready, because some politicians decided America needs an electric vehicle. It used to be individuals in companies that were unethical. Now entire corporations act unethically and are rotten from top to bottom. Its the classic case of you can't catch all the fish in the pond, so if we stick together none of us will go to jail. The SEC just needs to hammer on one of these companies to set an example. Wells Fargo is as good as any of them. I am divorcing Wells Fargo on Tuesday ... I can't afford their new banking increase scheme fees, just too expensive. Use to be Free checking when I signed up ... now they want $13 (checking) and $10 (some saving account charge). Going to just stick with my bank in Alcester. No banking scheme fees with them!!! Odell Jager is in desperate need of prayers and healing. As of today, he lays in a coma in Estelline.  All I ask for is that everyone says a prayer for him. I can't see my life without him. He's my last grandfather here on earth, and I know my grandmother, along with the rest of my family, truly needs him here. I would truly appreciate it. He needs it more than ever now. My grandfather has gone to be an angel in the sky... The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever. -Isaiah 40:8 Now even the media is calling itself sleezy. The good news is that we've ALWAYS known this!!! The problem with any media is they always want to try in public what first needs to be tried on court. No one can ever wait until they see all the evidence. Instead both sides with media just decide what they want to. Not based on all the facts. We are just so fast to rush to judge in todays world. What I do know for a fact is none of them have all the facts. Dear Friends, I am so excited that former city council member, Kermit Staggers, is running for city council in Sioux Falls. Clearly, WE need a sophisticated gent with a sense of self / integrity. Kermit will work to get things done--people like Kermit Staggers cares deeply about South Dakota, and I know he will work long and hard to find solutions to the problems that we face. Let’s send a message to those in Sioux Falls who think political obstruction and political agendas are more important than solving problems. You can send that message by helping Kermit win this race-- <3 <3 <3 Thanks so much! SaphireJohns-  I believe you should stand by people, even when their chips are down. An Obama victory in 2012 would doom this country. -Michael Savage He's SO lonely he writes love poems TO HIS HAND! A FOOL AND HIS money ARE SOON PARTED! Warren Sapp makes more in a month than I do in a year and he claims bankruptcy? Very pathetic. Obama is a joke a bad joke on this country. He is also illegal. His birth certificate and selective service card are forgeries..I hate to say this, but I prepare myself that this FRAUD will get 4 more years. "Thank God every day when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know." -Basil Carpenter My Guardian Angel Dear Angel ever at my side, how lovely you must be--- To leave your home in heaven, to guard a like me. When I'm far away from home, or maybe hard at play-- I know you will protect me, from harm along the way. Your beautiful and shining face, I see not, though you're near. The sweetness of your lovely voice, I cannot really hear. When I pray, you're praying too, Your prayer is just for me. But, when I sleep you never do, You're watching over me. Psalm 91:11-12 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. -Galatians 6:9 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. -Romans 14:17 For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Jesus, I trust in you. Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion --- inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. AMEN! Your spirit is the true shield. -Morihei Ueshiba Earlier today, radio host Rush Limbaugh said Obama & officials in his administration are intentionally stoking racial chaos in America in connection with the Martin case. What do you think? Our esteemed AG/POTUS makes me wanna puke! will Obama force eric holder to take appropriate action over-operation fat & furious? its been almost 1 year and holder refuses to turn over 90000 pages subpoened by congress. So much for transparency, huh? Our whole Gov't is rotten to the core, top to bottom!!!! This is such a joke. Frankly, everything been skewed or speculated about, I have no idea what the hell is going on. Good luck finding jurors that have heard nothing about this story.Since the media has done such a great job of covering this, in order to get a "fair and impartial jury" they are going to have to move the trial to Mars. There are good and bad people in the color spectrum. And until all the facts come to light it's unfair to assume what happened between Martin and Zimmerman. But what is also unfair is for those in the black community (those who are prone to hair-trigger tempers) to immediately intimidate and accuse any one else (primarily those of the white community) of racism anytime something is said. Enough already! The purpose of bail is not to punish... it's simply to assure the accused will show up in court. If they do, they get it all back. The constitution guarantees reasonable bail... which is determined by many factors including accused's financial means, risk of flight, strength of the states case and seriousness of the crime they are accused of. Even if she could have been completely impartial, judges have to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. If only the media would recuse itself from this case!!!! Internet has the best news, up to date, can check several sources. Network TV is sensationalist journalism. There will always be guns available to criminals no matter what controls are implemented. Tons of illegal drugs come into this country every year. Even larger quantities of counterfeit products are shipped in. Demand is what determines the flow of these and other illegal goods. Criminals possess fully automatic weapons and they have been banned for decades. This is an issue of much emotion but very little substance. We have many far more pressing problems. Treat the Earth Well It Was Not Given to You By Your Parents, It was Loaned to you By Your , We do Not Inherit The Earth From Our Ancesters, We borrow It From Our . -Ancient Native American Proverb God's hand of grace is extended to all. Jesus said, He came to call sinners to repentance. Sinners includes all of us. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: -Luke 14:13 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth … –Philippians 2:9-10 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. -Deuteronomy 18:9 live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and Its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, Even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and Bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and For the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, The fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts Are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again In a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh - Shawnee Looks like that shooting in Florida was justifed... I'm thinking they arrested the shooter and charged him with 2nd degree murder (which he will NEVER be convicted of) just to keep rioters from getting crazy. Instead of changing the gun laws in Florida, maybe more states should adopt the same gun laws as Florida has. What is being revealed in the investigation is that the gun law in Florida worked exactly as it was intended to work, and there's one less thug on the streets as a result. More to be revealed later.  Q: what I dont get is why the government fined microsoft billions for a supposed monopoly but walmart is allowed to REALLY monopolize the retail market? My ex had 6 walmarts within 5 mile radius of his house. If that isn't a monopoly I dont know what is! walmart has no morals and this latest in their criminal episodes shouldn't surprise anyone!!! STOP buying junk @ walmarts, they are a very very sleazy biz, they are nothing more than an outlet store for china!!!! Doug Cummings continues to bust his arse so I can get justice  The very fact that Obama and the DOJ are attacking Sheriff Joe at any and every chance they can should tell you something is rotten. If you have nothing to hide, you don't go all defensive. I hope he is watching his back because obama and his bunch of liberal socialist thugs will do anything to keep the truth from coming out. Steal a soda - get charged with a MCfelony. Steal millions - get elected to congress. The guy should be jailed for life just for going into a McDonalds! Jon Corzine stole 2 billion of depositors money from MF Global, he's still free. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.-Romans 12:12 I wish the Larry David show would replace Jimmy Kimmel... Reading is a lost art... Libraries across the globe should be open 24/7! Well done David Rakoff.  YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL ALIVE ONLY BECAUSE IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO KILL'EM Casey, I am glad you accepted my invitation to lunch. You got a very cute boy!!! I love love and they love me. Can't understand why she and the Kardashians are invited. What have they contributed to our country and freedom? This is so wrong. Better to thank the ones who have served the country and given of themselves. What were they thinking? Oh ... I know, they don't think. START saving your beer and soda tabs for me  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. -Matthew 6:33 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. -1 Peter 5 Can't a sexy frog just relax without some jacka$$ jamming a camera all in your face? Greg Jamison NEVER should have been reelected to the council. New BMW slogan: We can get you up and going......for a long time. Big Mighty Wood-0% interest and nothing down for two years. just in...Pfizer files lawsuit on BMW for patent infringement. Hell, he ought to be paying them. He got roughly the equivalent of a two-year supply of Viagra for free. If BMW thinks this is a problem just wait until all the lawsuits come in from people claiming they didn't get the two year erection. Would the jury please rise. ALL: Thanks for your support and prayers!!! 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. -Jeremiah 29:11 It's not about having it all. It's about having what you value most. -Jean Chatzky Hopeisms...Never underestimate the power of tomorrow. Oh, Lord, please be with each of us every step of the way, We Thank You!!! You have to hold on to your faith. That's what will get you through. God uses our stories to help us as we travel through life. Read lottery rules: tickets are bearer instruments. Who has it owns it. Which is why you're supposed to sign them, in order to assure you can prove ownership. "The judge is an idiot" and should be overruled! Well as I see it now, Issa is part of the problem, he should have cited Holder for contempt weeks ago!! IMAGINE how this can be a campaign issue...guns given to drug cartel members via our gov't Wal-Mart is not a good neighbor, and we must stop it from expanding, and ruining our town! People often ask why fighting Walmart is such a big deal. After all, new businesses mean new jobs, right? And Walmart's jobs could be beneficial to struggling low-income residents, right? Unfortunately, the reality is that Walmart spells nothing but bad news for America's major urban areas. Walmart is the major crime magnet. If Walmart were such a strong community supporter, then why do they do nothing to step up safety at their store? The Truth. Whenever someone speaks out against Wal-Mart, as many residents have, they are labeled a "small group" of one sort or another by Wal-Mart, which apparently only represents it's own large interests, like their stockholders. In addition to all this, this store, if built, would be totally the wrong scale for this community, and of a style incompatible with the architecture in the area. Such overdevelopment could ruin the longer-term financial strength of the tourist trade there. And beyond neighborhood issues, Wal-Mart has been drawing fire for other practices, including the treatment of its workers and its contribution to the outflow of U.S. jobs to Asia. Wal-Mart has a history of employee abuses. To (supposedly) protect against employee theft, many Wal-Mart store managers until recently kept the overnight workers locked in, unable to get emergency help quickly for injuries or sickness, the New York Times reported last month. In addition, There have been stories and lawsuits alleging Wal-Mart managers force employees to work off the clock to avoid overtime pay. These issues, along with low wages and little or no benefits, encourages union organizing. Then there is the matter of squeezing suppliers and contributing to the national trade deficit and the loss of U.S. jobs. As the world's No. 1 retailer bent on constantly lowering prices, Wal-Mart muscles its suppliers to drop their costs, pushing manufacturing jobs out of this country and into low-wage ones. In closing, Wal-Mart has total disregard for any community they go into! Cheap mementos aren't worth the journey!!!  I LOVE LOVE these floating frogs I got at Lewis even put a couple in my accord.Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. –2 Timothy 4:2 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. -Hebrews 13:6 Tru Green totally messed up my mums yard!!! Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. -1 Corinthians 15:58 You can have all the success in the world but if you can't end the war in between your ears, even the most glorious of achievements can seem desolate and barren. I hope YOU find peace with the Lord. Maybe next time, Pinault will wear a $1 condom before he sticks his billion dollar wingus into someone. Evangelista -Parental love and presence is so much more important than how luxuriously the can live. Having lots of paper with dead Presidents on it does not equate to intelligence - morals - character - common sense - or even purpose of any kind. BEWARE: That DEPOSIT you just left may COST you a fortune! TROJAN will not cost you $46,000.00 per month LOL My computer is DONE -- Would love to bring it to the shooting range!!!! Things are fine by me. I've been Busy packing and looking for living quarters. Remember to Honor your Mums Muah SaphireJohns A faithful friend is the medicine of life. -Ecclesiasticus 6:16 Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. The greatest adventure of all is faith Give your family the bulk of your time, energy and love, and you will be happy. I have a severe allergy to people who are intrusive, who ask inappropriate questions or violate accepted boundaries. I don't care how many girls you date--one or five. If you don't treat me like I'm number one you're dust! I'll Have Another.... Jason Gant cannot go beyond his thoughts, his actions flow from what he thinks ... he has put his limited human viewpoint on display for the entire world to witness ... Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. -Isaiah 60:1 AMEN. Thank you Jesus! Quit idling: The average driver wastes 14 gallons of gas every year-that's about $713-waiting in traffic or during quick pit stops like dashing into the dry cleaners, according to a national study by the Texas Transportation Institute. Leaving your car running for more than 10 seconds uses more gas than it takes to restart it, so if it's going to be a little while, just shut the thing off! You want sleaze, deception, and outright lies? Look no further than the Obama administration. He is public enemy #1 and Holder is #2 Glenn, Sweet of you to spend your holiday helping me move!!! Mingle with folks who aren't like you, they will enrich and touch your heart like no other! Wowzers, so much to do.... Marshall (Push Pedal Pull) Congrats on the blessing God has blessed upon you and your wife! Joy I see you still drive by my apt building... You could/should've stopped in to lend a hand. One day left in the ghetto!!!!! The only way I can describe it--at the end of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, you know how his <3 grows like five times? Everything is full; it's just full all the time. Romeo, I am gonna hug you silly! I Missed all our traditions. Birthed on the best day of the year...April Fool's. Valerie Ramsey said it best-Above all, beauty comes from confidence and having the courage to be ourselves from the wisdom that we acquire over the years. That's what real beauty is about. Every inch of my body needs rubbing out. Frank, Glenn, Humane Society, Push Pedal Pull: Thank you for accommodating my every need!!!!  SAY THANK YOU--{I}ndividuals who approach life with an attitude that all of life is a gift will be more likely to find the good in bad life circumstances. -Robert A. Emmons, PhD, In Thanks! How The New Science Of Gratitude Can Make You Happier (Houghton Mifflin) aviator Amelia Earhart observed, “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. Her inspiring words were borne out by the results published in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed how a single altruistic kidney set off a domino effect, resulting in 10 successive transplants." Winston Churchill famously said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” America wise up....these disingenuous criminals must be shown the door..... Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. -Proverbs 3:5–6 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. -Proverbs 24:20 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. -Romans 5:8-9 The founders lived in a time when the people were expected to rise up and forcefully challenge corruption and criminal behavior. Two hundred years ago slanted and dishonest reporting like we see today would have resulted in a smoldering ash pile where the news agency once stood. The tree of liberty would have been fed decades ago if we had the backbone of the founders. The founders never dreamed we would become so complacent. We are civilized and I ask, "Is shirking our responsibilities and allowing irresponsible behavior like this a good thing?" We have the FUTURE of our , their , and those yet to be born, to consider! They don't deserve the legacy our current national "leaders" seem "bent on" leaving for them. Also, if not for the PRAYERS of true Christians, our great America doesn't have a CHANCE. Please read and re-read II Chronicles 7:14. God has told us in no uncertain terms what we must do if we want Him to "heal our land". He's the ONLY ONE who CAN heal our land. Of course, we "serve God over the state when the two are in opposition to each other"...and ALL THE TIME; but that doesn't mean we have to "roll over and play dead". Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. -Psalm 42:11 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. -Psalm 25:8-10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. … -Psalm 91:9-11 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner. -Proverbs 11:30–31 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. -Psalm 44:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. -Psalm 4:3 Who is surprised by this? Obama desperately needs the Hispanic vote, and that's what this executive order is about. But didn't Obama also remark that having to work with Congress is too tedious? He doesn't really want a second term as President; he's aching to be Dictator, and these executive orders are but a foretaste of what's to come from this ineligible occupier of the Oval Office, this man who despises our Constitution, this man who comes on television every whipstitch with a big smile on his face, lies on his lips, and deceit in his heart!!!! And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. -John 6:35 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. -Psalm 1:1–2 Holder should resign NOW! This guy will never resign, he doesn't believe he is accountable to anyone, just like his Boss Barak Obama. an unending fountain of sweetness... Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. -Psalm 66:20 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. -Proverbs 4:18–19 How many times have you heard of an armed policeman stopping a crime in progress? Almost never. Police spend most of their time attempting to apprehend a criminal "after" they have committed their crimes. Although I admire the work that the police do, this knowledge provides me with little comfort. I am absolutely sure that if there were more qualified people carrying firearms, the safer we would all be. In England, during the recent riots where thousands of anarchists were roaming the streets and breaking into homes to destroy people and their property, homeowners were frantically looking for baseball bats, or pipes to defend themselves and their families. Police were powerless to provide any security to these poor people. I feel sorry for these poor anti-gun advocates. Their twisted Liberal thought process is the same one that continues to support Barack Obama, our first Marxist president. I wonder if they will ever wake up!!! Welcome to the new America, where only losers become famous...Hey mom guess who I am bringing home for dinner - a porn star with 14 and no house. Let's pray he's had a vasectomy or she's had her uterus removed. Most people see the glass as either half full or half empty. I prefer to think of the glass as always topped off, unless the bartender is slacking off! He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. -Psalm 147:4–5 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. -Psalm 118:22–24 When a news show fails, it is rarely ever the result of one anchor - it is almost always the fault of the producer and network execs. The reason the Today Show is going down is due to sensationalized content and sloppiness from the network. I can't believe Matt Lauer is still there, he is a joke of a reporter. Fvck NBC! NBC= Nothing But Crap! Buzz Bissinger's Father's Day is a testament to the wisdom of John F. Kennedy's maxim that "life is unfair." While the author seethes with anger throughout this account of his family's struggle with human frailty, Mr. Bissinger reminds us that even the worst tragedies sometimes carry with them unexpected gifts! Another great legacy of Obama's presidency, more people committing suicide than at any other time in American history. And now there remain faith, hope and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. -1 Corinthians 13:13 Jonathan Ellis: I couldn't agree with you more. Gant must go. Anyone who votes for him is an IDIOT! David, You are so intriguing and sexy. Working out together this morning was fun! The key for a successful first date is to provide a lot of opportunity for interaction, but to keep the date itself relatively short Don't miss out on the fullness of JOY. Obama and the news people are all in the same bed, taking turns on who gets to screw the public! Freedom isn't free and the Liberty Tree is already wilting. Therefor it must be replenished with the Blood of the enemies of Liberty and the Patriots willing to fight for it. Because - Liberty and Liberalism are incompatible. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. -1 Timothy 1:2 the only people that care about this guy's "disappearance" are his greedy kin folk. I don't have to worry about anybody trying to get rid of me for my money... I don't have any! lol For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. -Mark 13:31 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work … . -2 Corinthians 9:8 Imagine borrowing and spending $9 trillion in a little more than 3 1/2 years, and having the disastrous, unemployment-riddened economy we are experiencing right now. In the 240 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence this country indebted itself to less than $8 trillion, and in 3 1/2 years ObamaBozoFromKenya has added another $9 trillion and wrecked our economy. Clearly, much of this money has been and is being spent on anything but the usual business of our Federal government. Almost as if they have a secret government somewhere that needs almost as much money as our regular Federal government. So, where did $9 trillion go and what did it buy us? I submit they have stolen all of it. Its was what the mafia in Las Vegas called "The Skim", and the GOP in DC must be just as involved in the theft as ObamaKenya and Company. In the days following 9/11 Secy of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference where he stated the Pentagon had lost $2 trillion and could not account for it. Rumsfeld is also the one that gave us the excitotoxin aspartame. Both are in the public record. Romeo Rae is the only obedient guy in my life. Dogs are a gals best friend! For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? -Matthew 16:26 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. -Colossians 4:5 SPENCER FRIESE: YOU ARE A LOSER-A THIEF-A DRUNK-A JAIL BIRD-BAD FATHER! Honest officer, I haven't been drinking. I was just driving along and then that telephone pole just jumped right out in front of me. I wonder if the league will suspend him NFL style. If a police officer is so incompetent that they're unable to locate an address, then they need to be sitting behind a desk, not behind the wheel of a police car with a weapon. They're more of a danger to society than a help. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. -Colossians 3:16 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8 Somber day....thoughts to all the families impacted from the Colorado shootings. And therein lies the fallacy of all gun laws. Law abiding people obey but the depraved criminal element blatantly ignores laws, rules and regulations. It truly is a shame no one was in a position to take this guy out! When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Enough said? This latest episode should spur our representatives in congress to REJECT the UN Small Arms treaty outright as any infringment of legal gun rights puts the decent, law abiding citizens of this country in jeopardy and hands over control of the public to the criminals. We need to STOP the term "gun-free zone" and call it what it is -- All together now! CRIMINAL SAFE ZONE!!! I'm sorry but I just don't understand the mental processes that go on in the heads of gun banners like the theatre owners. Why would they not want a well armed militia protecting their customers? They would rather have 13 innocent people murdered than honor the state's decision to grant carry rights to screened citizens. They made their decision so now I hope they are prepared to accept the responsibility and pay the price. Some humans have no moral limits. More should definitely be removed from the gene pool. Sometimes the death penalty just makes sense. Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. -Ecclesiastes 7 He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. -Titus 3:5 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. -Hebrews 11:1 I had a blast at Hot Summer Nites!!!! I'm reading By the Iowa Sea What's between your bookends???“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future …” -Jeremiah 29:11 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit. -Romans 15:13 If you had my experiences, you would be filled with awe and gratitude. The beauty of today is in all the things: feeling the gentle breeze on your skin, the sunlight filtering through the clouds, the sound of the birds, the silence of no wind. You notice the in-and-out flow of your breath, the feeling of aliveness inside your body. And then there is the beautiful stillness behind it all, which is deep within you. It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up. Bloomberg is an idiot that no one should take seriously. He truly is two faced and feeds himself with a silver spoon paid for by others. The parents of the shooter are also victims. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. -1 Corinthians 10:13 What we need to regulate are idiot politicians who think of themselves as "the ruling elite"!!! No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:37-39 I'll bet that somehow, NASCAR will find a special heartfelt way to honor the victim who died, and also help the survivors. NASCAR and the drivers are known for being very generous and giving. They love their fans. Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. -Jude 1:2 Thank you LORD for those eternal gifts, I pray for a means to be worthy of them. The most influential man in the history of the world. . .

Peterson is one of the creepiest characters I've seen. He's gregarious, loud, and constantly crack jokes, oddly impervious to the fact that he's on trial for murder. I want a lime green harley with sexy frogs on it!!! For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him -Philippians 1:29 AMERICAN CITIZENS had better WAKE UP and help fight his anti-America agenda and policies Nov. 6! The AFL-CIO is unleashing 400,000 volunteers for him - PAYBACK, you know! Obama certainly can't run on his pathetic RECORD for the past almost four years; so he's resorting to desperate measures. God bless America. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds -Hebrews 10:24 I. Somewhere, out at the edges, the night Is turning and the waves of darkness Begin to brighten the shore of dawn. The heavy dark falls back to earth And the freed air goes wild with light, The heart fills with fresh, bright breath And thoughts stir to give birth to colour. II. I arise today In the name of Silence Womb of the Word, In the name of Stillness Home of Belonging, In the name of the Solitude Of the Soul and the Earth. I arise today Blessed by all things, Wings of breath, Delight of eyes, Wonder of whisper, Intimacy of touch, Eternity of soul, Urgency of thought, Miracle of health, Embrace of God. May I live this day Compassionate of heart, Gentle in word, Gracious in awareness, Courageous in thought, Generous in love.

Even though he comes from a privileged background, he still works his arse off every day. Too much storage of data and they drop a criminal case! This must make the story of the century list. I can't believe this crap! The DEA wastes billions of dollars a year, but apparently not a dime on computer equipment. That's efficiency, that's what that is. Hmmm ... Message to Criminals - Commit Big Crimes - leave a lot of evidence, You can get away with it if you overwhelm them with evidence? I LOVE the Pittsburgh Steelers Getting a is guaranteed to steer you straight out of dullsville and you will start to savor life's sweeter side! All things work together for good to them that love God. -Romans 8:28 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalms 34:18 Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink! I heard the Democrats are opening a new restaurant named Obama's Crappy Burgers, and B.S. fries. They are giving discounts based on the number of brain cells the liberals have left in their heads.......0 brain cells get's you a free meal and full government control over your life. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. -Psalms 51:10 And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good. -2 Thessalonians 3:13 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. -Galatians 5:26 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive. -Proverbs 28:28 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. -Proverbs 4:23 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good. -Job 34:4 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. -Hebrews 7 Keep me safe from the traps set by evildoers, from the snares they have laid for me. -Psalms 141:9 What's the ten most scariest words in the English language?

The symbolism wasn't lost on the American People. I saw it and loved it! Empty chair, empty suit, empty promises. They can try, as they are, to change the DNC to focus on women but his slight of hand, smoke and mirror tactics aren't going to work. The only platform they have to run on is a failed one, it doesn't leave much to stand on so bashing they must. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy -Philippians 1:4 Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. -2 John 1:8 "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover" -MARK TWAIN "Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen." -Mark Twain If you want the real scoop go to the NRA-ILA site. The rest of these groups including Dud Brown are just noise and take funds away from the NRA. An association that has been steadfast in their effort to protect the 2nd Amendment! If you are not a member, join, if you are a member tell others to join, for the NRA has huge influence with the conservative members of congress and scares the s^*t out of the liberal idiots who have a close district or state. Only the rabid Dim-O-Rat strongholds are immune from the pressure that the NRA brings when our gun rights are concerned. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. -John 1:3 Dogs are Loyal and Trustworthy, Too bad they cannot run for office. When I count my blessings, I count Romeo Rae twice! Obama's behavior should NOT be rewarded ***** Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. -Micah 7:18 Amen! Nitwits talking about their legs while Obama is taking the U.S.A. down as fast as he can. WTF is UP with that?!? How tragic...an electrical fire destroys Wounded Knee Museum in Wall  God's own will can be changed with prayer (as evidenced in several stories from the bible). So I ask you ALL to lift up prayers for Steve Wyant, the museum cofounder!!!Chicago Teachers Union vs. democrat mayor Rahm Emanuel... It is hilarious watching Rahm Emanuel, one of the nation's top democrats, deal with the lazy, greedy union members he supposedly supports. If he gives in to the greedy, lazy union members the city will go further broke. If he does the right thing and does NOT give in to the unions, much of his voter base (union assholes) will be angry. How big of union supporters are the democrats now? Are the democrats willing to have the city go broke? If the union wins they will be back next year for even more, lol, even a complete fool realizes that. Unions? Nothing more than present day terrorists and extortionists. So funny to watch the democrats get some of their own medicine. Hey Rahm, you are the mayor, you are the boss. You gonna let the foxes run the hen house or are you going to grow a pair of balls and do your job? Lastly, Rahm if you give in to the union and suck their arses, you are a complete wimp. And EVERYONE will know it. Just give the whole city, and your job, to the unions if you cave. courtesy of noah holland High up in the courts of heaven today a little angel waits; with the other angels he will not play, but he sits alone at the gates. "For I know my master will come" says he, "and when he comes he will call for me." The other angels pass him by As they hurry toward the throne, And he watches them with a wistful eye as he sits at the gates alone. "But I know if I just wait patiently that someday my master will call for me." And his master, down on earth below, as he sits in his easy chair, forgets sometimes, and whispers low to the who is not there. And the little angel cocks his ears and dreams that his master's voice he hears. And when at last his master waits outside in the dark and cold, for the hand of death to open the door, that leads to those courts of gold, he will hear a sound through the gathering dark, a little angel's bark. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” -Matthew 7 ““Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction.” -Isaiah 29:24 Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. People reap what they sow. -Galatians 6 Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened. -Anatole France That Colorado hiker (Anthony Ortolani) could have done more to save his dog. My heart feels better knowing that a small group of people figured it out. You Simply don't give up on your as that would NEVER give up on you! Now the will have what it deserves. A loving family! "Listen" more or your tongue will make you deaf! -unknown Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. -1 Timothy 4 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. -James 3:18 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. -Romans 9:16 We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. -2 Thessalonians 3:4 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -Ephesians 2:8 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. -Luke 21:33 Holder, Obama, and many others should be jailed or worse for their treasonous acts!!! But it is the spirit in mortals, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. -Job 32:8 Remember that the days are long but the years are short. -Elizabeth Cooperstein Don't cry over anything that can't cry over you. -Cristin Marandino When people talk, listen completely. -Ernest Hemingway The best way out is always through. -Robert Frost A good time to laugh is anytime you can. -Linda Ellerbee Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. -Hebrews 10:23 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. -Ephesians 1 Maximizing impact is not about the input of writing the check. It's about the output. The days of the Obama presidency are drawing to a close!!! The worst profession in life is one in which you can work for a lifetime and earn nothing but money. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. -Psalm 66:20 May all those who seek strength or wisdom in these tough times find it thru prayer, meditation and as required, total strangers who always rise to the crisis for the sake of others. GOD bless them all. The real tension in America today is not about black versus white but about liberalism versus conservatism. Anyone that votes for Obama after knowing about Fast and Furious and the Murders at Benghazi is guilty of aiding and abetting a TREASONOUS MURDERER and TERRORIST!!!! Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. -Philippians 4:9 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. –Psalm 37:3 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. -Colossians 1:17 The precepts of the LORD are right; giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. –Psalm 19:8 One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats, –Iris Murdoch from The Sea, the Sea Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, It can’t be done. –Eleanor Roosevelt We all have a calling. Everyone is given one gift, a reason for being, and it’s our obligation to do something with it! Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. –Ralph Waldo Emerson Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit … -John 15:16 If it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach -Romans 12 The mother saw her get killed and then the GM and head coach watched their player kill himself. No words can accurately describe how awful this is for them, their families, their friends and his teammates. Hopefully some good can come from this by shedding a spotlight on the mental health crisis impacting our country and more people will reach out for help before doing something similar. It's a shame things have to happen like this! I'm glad that I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to provide direction in my life and to give me peace when events in the world and life in general seem puzzling, confusing or uncertain. 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' -Phillippians 4:6-7 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. -Ephesians 2:10 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. -1 Peter 2:16 There are times when PRAYER is the only gift we can give one another...Bloomberg is an embarrassment to New Yorkers! No amount of legislation will quell the devil of the human spirit. Proven everywhere that an armed society is a far safer society. Perspective, today's tragedy could have been prevented had there been armed and trained school officials on site. That being said, the shooter had access to unsecured guns and ammo, a big time no, no. The fact that over 40 people are murdered on average in Chicago every day and some 51 million helpless babies, both in and out of the womb have been murdered in horrific fashion, is of no moment to these Communist progressive loons who restrict concealed carry and blame the gun for all the violence. Funny, in Australia, England and other countries, who have eliminated legal citizen gun ownership, the murder and crime rates have skyrocketed. But hey, facts are of no moment to the progressive Constitution haters. I reiterate, todays events were tragic and my heart goes out to the parents of the little ones who were murdered senselessly but it could have been prevented! Guns don't kill people people do, and cars driven by impaired people kill tens of thousands every year, as do medical errors, explosives, knives, mob violence, etc.! Armed citizens stop crime all over the country every day but liberals won't have anything to do with that. I'm not trying to justify today's horrific event, rather I'm trying to offer a modicum of reason and sanity amidst the horror experienced by these little innocent and their parents. As a parent I am truly saddened by the terrible loss of innocent lives and pray for them and their loved ones. As long as this criminal government destroys our rights on a daily basis and fails to understand the real solution to the problem, this will continue. I hold our so-called leaders complicit in these unconscionable acts! This nation has lost its way, it's moral compass and the growing number of mass murders are a result of failed leadership and an overriding sense of hopelessness! People who abuse and animals are monsters and have no place in society! I trust you will all have a blessed holiday and take time to focus on the real meaning of Christmas! As this year has flown by, I am once again reminded that I can’t do everything on my own. God continues to give me the strength and encouragement I need when I feel so overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. He also does so many unexpected little things that help me remember that he really is in control. For that, I give him thanks during the Christmas season. ‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen,’ Ephesians 3:20-21 Hit a trooper drunk driving and you will be punished. My neighbor is on his *6* DUI'S and scams 24/7. Has yet to do any hard time for his crimes either. What the FVCK is wrong with this town???? “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” -Psalm 103:1-2 You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. -Psalms 86:5 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. -1 Thessalonians 5:11 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. -Psalm 24:1 I would like to think that the Lord takes into consideration mental illness when one takes their own life. I realize what the Bible says. But I believe God is a loving God and that if one is no longer of a sane mind he knows this. God bless you Mindy and I pray I am right and that you made it to heaven. We all know your life was hell here on earth because of the demons that you never found a way to escape from. You were such a beautiful person. I don't suffer from substance abuse (thank God) so I cannot judge your actions in any way. I hope you are at peace and that one day I will meet you in heaven. How bout starting off with The Today Show and get rid of Matt Lauer. NBC's downfall started when he got Ann Curry fired. NBC does not have any integrity whatsoever as they will not let Ann Curry out of her contract so she can move forward in her career. This is one of the reasons NBC is falling in the Ratings. Plus they don't know when to air Rock Center, just ask Brian Williams. Who knows what else is going on. I for one avoid watching NBC unless I have to. Get rid of Matt for starters and get your thumbs out of your arses!!!! Strengthen laws against criminals that use a firearm in a crime. Do not make stupid new laws that only impact law abiding citizens!!! Jodi Arias is a pathetic excuse for a human being. Juan did a great job exposing her for who she REALLY is, which is a lying, narcissistic sociopath. She believes (along with her new creepy BF Bryan Carr) that she is going to get off with a manslaughter charge. I fear not - the lion will get his kill!!!! Let Him have all your worries & cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. -1 Peter 5 JOYAbused and battered people have a new spokesperson and his name is Travis Alexander. May his death help those who are still suffering. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:19 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. -2 Timothy 1 Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man -Ecclesiastes 12:13 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord. Like the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He wishes. -Proverbs 21:1 Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. -Jeremiah 17:14 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. -James 1:3 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually! -1 Chronicles 16:11 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! -Psalm 90:14 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. -Psalm 55:22  |
