DON'T GIVE UP ON PRAYER

Thursday, September 13, 2007

What in the world are we going to do about the war?

The President doesn’t know what to do, the generals don’t know, congress certainly doesn’t know, Rosie doesn’t know—nobody knows.

The old song says, “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen, nobody knows but Jesus…”

DON’T GIVE UP ON PRAYER!

REMEMBER

REMEMBER 9/11 prayers and tears.

REMEMBER 9/11 with hope. Our hope is in God.

FINDING A WAY TO WIN/LOSE

THE ARIZONA CARDINALS FOOTBALL TEAM visited the beautiful city of San Francisco last night. The last two years they have started off their season by beating the Forty-niners. Not this year! Even though this year's team appears to be our best team ever, they found a way to squander a 4 point lead with just a few seconds left.

THE ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS BASEBALL TEAM also visited the city by the bay last night. The situation looked hopeless for the snakes as they trailed in their last at bats in the ninth inning. Jeff Salazar strode to the plate and knocked a three run home run to beat the gaints 5 to 3.

FIND A WAY TO WIN--NOT LOSE!

NAIVE

Monday, September 10, 2007

As a child I was taught to respect all those in authority: teachers, policemen, crossing guards, ministers, and the list goes on, including anybody and everybody older than me. I diligently obeyed—then and now!

HOW NAÏVE!

Naiveté comes in with me thinking that all these people deserve respect. Why flip, some of these people haven’t got sense enough to get in out of the rain (of course that isn’t a problem in Arizona). And some of them set such a sorry example that you can’t look to them for leadership. I see this especially in our United States Congress. What a bunch of country bumpkins on both sides of the aisle. Just being ignorant isn’t as bad as being down right dishonest.

AM I BEING CYNICAL? I hope not. One can be cynical to the point of sin. I certainly don’t want that. However, I don’t want to continue being naïve.

SOMETHING ALWAYS NEEDS FIXING

Sunday, September 09, 2007

Something always needs fixing—or as they would say back in Oklahoma, “Somethin’ always needs fixin’.” If you are a home owner, you know this is true. Fix one thing and something else breaks.

Early in the morning I have to take my pool cleaner in to get it repaired. It’s broken again. It shouldn’t be—but it is. The part that is broken is plastic and plastic breaks. It just does. I think it is under warranty by a few days but they may show me the “fine print” that says, “No” or “No way!”

Tomorrow—or maybe later today, it will be something else. My stuff is not old (I’m old, but my stuff is fairly new, as stuff goes) but stuff is on a schedule to break and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Tuesday I will get up early and put our flag out in remembrance of 9/11 and how some idiots broke our country. As I said, some things just naturally break, but we shouldn’t be going around breaking stuff—especially other people’s stuff.

Yes, stuff breaks, but I’m glad to live in a country where we have so much stuff to fix. America is great!

KNOWING AND CARING
