I got this off of TFsterns site(link on side bar)
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor -- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed byacknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

I told my wife and we both got a laugh out of this one
I was going through my visitor links and I ran across this little search which lead to a link in my archives about the human condition.
I am pretty sure that that wasn't what they were looking for.

Life is just a Demolition Derby
Something that rings in my ears. My sister sent me an e-mail with this little ditty.
Oh the pranks
I am trying to imagine a guy sitting down on a toilet seat that had something wet on it and staying there long enough to have this happen.
from the Jamaica Gleaner
"There was such a case outside of college. In fact, it supposedly happened in Home Depot, the handyman's (or woman's) store. Bob Dougherty sued Home Depot last month claiming a prank left him glued to a toilet seat. He alleges that paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, which separated from his skin, leaving abrasions. Dougherty buttressed his case by claiming he suffered pain, humiliation and financial loss. He wants US$3 million from Home Depot. However, a witness has come forward to say that Dougherty had made a similar claim more than a year ago in the town where they both live. Dougherty's lawyer has rebutted the accusation."

Open trackbacks
NZ Bear is toying with his system of ratings and has discovered opposition in the blogosphere. I wonder why? I am currently trying to get my open trackback stuff up and running but I must profess a lack of understanding which is definately slowing me down but I know that with perseverance I shall have it.
I left a comment at Stop the ACLU that I am proud of(I hate the word proud) but you should read the rest, also Samantha Burns who has her OTB working and a nice article on the issue as well.
Comment by ron on November 23rd, 2005 @ 3:18 pm
The problem with not counting trackbacks is also that TTLB will not know if any other bloggers are up and coming and it does open a door for a competing blog rating system. There have always been people who figure out how to cheat systems. And no matter what TTLB does people will figure out ways around those efforts . If NZ works too hard at being fair he will end up just making arbitrary decisions on who he likes and doesn't like or at least be giving the appearancee of judging and the blogosphere is not going to like that and vote with their electronic feet and go elsewhere.
One of the ways that I acquired some attention was to go to a lot of sites and make comments. That is how I got my highest rating of adorable rodent(correction Marauding Marsupial) somewhere in the 4000 to 4500 range. Which I have to profess surprise and almost a total lack of understanding at how this stuff really works, but never the less.
I have also noticed that TTLB has some problem with their system because I have 8 or nine links with people who are definitelyly respectable and quite high in their rankings but they are not listed which is giving me a snot rating of blah blah. I was excited and looking forward to the challenge of figuring out ways to get to the next level when this crap started(waaaaaa).
Even so I think it is time for other raters to compete.

The Human Condition
.
Is often determined by circumstances or chance or God if you preferr (which is what I say), which I shall label as human circumstance.
I shall describe these events with an event which took place in my life and a moral attached.
When I was in my twenties I had an enormous colon (still have) and consequently left enormous piles, if you know what I mean. Well on one particular day I descided to flush before I was finished. A few seconds later I felt something very cold and wet on my bottom that for a second of hesitation and then from suprised realization I lept from the commode. Egads crap water has touched my butt. IT's the BLOB ahhhhhh! Now it's running out of the pot and coming after me ieeeeee!
..........................................................
The moral of the story: Wait until your done to flush.

People who think that is by threats (that is the use of fear) that people are subservient are destined for destruction. It is in the conscience of individuals that subservience is born. The realization that a thing is right to do.

This guy isn't saying much that I hadn't already suspected
But Bill Tierny makes a very good point about this absurd idea that mankind is good. This is only a quote from an article here you should read concerning perceptions in the world opinion 'market'.
"Gun control and Arms control both arise from the “mankind is good” worldview.
If you control the environment, i.e. get rid of the guns, then man’s natural goodness will rise to the surface. I hope it is evidence after more than a decade of Iraqi intransigence how foolish this position is."

Oh Crap! I didn't know this one.
I was always secure in this one thing. That doctors were always smarter than me. But to my severe dread they on average are not. (Did you know the average IQ of a doctor is 116?)You see I have had two minor strokes. One when I was 17 during a football game in which I was given the co-honor of defensive player of the game for.....that's another story; and another one when I was 34. And I still score 133.
The sad thing is that now that I know this I am curious as to what it was when I was younger. And WF could I have been. F--k all you people who called me dumb and had me believin it. No I take that back. I will not
F--k you people-that might give you pleasure. Crap! That is another story too.
Back to the story. Crap.

Another note to customers in the heating and air business.
We who are in this busy-ness are not reimbursed by the manufactures for labor when we do warranty work. Therefore since we did not get into the busy-ness to go broke we can not provide the labor for warranty repair for free. Any labor warranty that my employer gives is out of the goodness of his heart and believe me he has a blessed heart and only wants to give as much as he can afford (one year).
Any problems with that I suppose I could call the waaaaambulance. MWHA!

Oh lookee here
Way to go OMNI for this.
"To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled."He also paraphrased it as, "We don't see others as they are, but as WE are"... and it's a wonderful example of how there are some piercing insights in the Bible whether you believe in God or not, which makes it well worth a little study.
I want to add that 'I figure that in the, 'do unto others vernacular', that people do what they want other people to do to them. So when they lie cheat and steal that is what they want people to do to them. So what are they getting all bent out of shape for when people lie cheat and steal from them. I mean what did they expect.

I have run into a little slow down in my blogging drive, maybe it is because I haven't found to much to screamin eagle on so I have been holic-ing on a couple of PC games here lately.
I was going to do an article defending the Presidents policy of not asking Scotus nominees their stance on such devisive subjects as 'abortion' and the 'marriage is between a man and a woman only' stuff but I found this item for anti abortion people that many may not know about.
As for the reason the President is not asking. There are probably two main purposes. One of which is a tactic to blunt the Dummo-crats anti-Christian agenda, and the lessor is to remain objective in his choice. He get's to say in public "I don't know". to which the media can only say "he doesn't know". Which get's a whispering quiet belly waving chuckle from me. So the ultra right wing( you know the ones who are treading on the edge of the road about to stumble into the ditch)needs to KNOCK IT OFF!
But. Instead I will post this small blurb and comment.
From American Family Radio(link on side bar),this teen was given the go ahead to wear his pro-Life tee shirts.
(AgapePress) - A Georgia high school has decided against censoring a student's pro-life expression on his clothing.
Senior Brian Ramirez was recently forced to serve an in-school suspension for wearing sweatshirts with messages such as "Abortion is homicide" and "She is a child, not a choice." The student also was penalized with a zero grade for each day's lab missed while in suspension, and informed that for each day he continued to wear clothing bearing a pro-life message he would remain on suspension.

Muslim connections Blind coorporations and more
And how come the Press isn't asking. Hm. Maybe because the press is connected with this too. How's that for paranoid conspiracy.
Check this out. Linked via Confederate Yankee.
Alamoudi you might remember is the dirt bag who banks “with Al Qeada”. Interestingly enough Alamoudi is also linked with Al Gore’s ‘96 campaigns, and his company Occidental Petroleum, and as I’ve said Gore and Wilson go back a ways and through similiar venues.

TFsterns
Has three articles that indict the Democrats and their policies for what they really are. Anti-American. The Democrats have to go.
Article 1:
Did you mean that if Samuel Alito were to be confirmed and take a position on the Supreme Court that his quiet and thoughtful approach, his careful and methodical process of weighing points of law and how each case is compared to the rule of law as outlined in the Constitution, that his track record of being fair minded would "create a lot of problems"; is that what you meant? Or did I hear incorrectly?
TF has a very clear view in this, and it is many of these same thoughts that have been visiting my mind over the last couple of years. That the Democrats have an agenda which is outside their means to acquire but never the less dangerous and treasonous to People and the nation of the United States of America.
Again I reiterate:
Dan 11:27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
I would say that the Democrats definitely qualify as a part of this verse whereby the effort is being made to unify this world under one government. Trying to; "boil the frog by turning up the heat slow",(Rev. Keller). The Democrats are a good example of the danger of turning away from God. Instead of working for good and God they are working at odds against him using known evil methods. That being so, their plans are for naught because of this: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
But one of these two gets a serious case of pride and does this: Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
This is somthing you can feel: that is something out there which is against the promises that God has made to men concerning citizenship in his house, so to speak.
Although the Democrats right now are acting out more and more the indignation part here(next couple of verses (I have to seriously edit the strongs mumbers out of the text or my brother complains about it being to busy which he is right,that being the case and time for me to work on this is short:::::)).
Dan 11:29 At the time appointed4150 he shall return,7725 and come935 toward the south;5045 but it shall not3808 be1961 as the former,7223 or as the latter.314
Dan 11:30 For the ships6716 of Chittim3794 shall come935 against him: therefore he shall be grieved,3512 and return,7725 and have indignation2194 against5921 the holy6944 covenant:1285 so shall he do;6213 he shall even return,7725 and have intelligence995 with5921 them that forsake5800 the holy6944 covenant.1285
Dan 11:31 And arms2220 shall stand5975 on his part,4480 and they shall pollute2490 the sanctuary4720 of strength,4581 and shall take away5493 the daily8548 sacrifice, and they shall place5414 the abomination8251 that maketh desolate.8074
Dan 11:32 And such as do wickedly against7561 the covenant1285 shall he corrupt2610 by flatteries:2514 but the people5971 that do know3045 their God430 shall be strong,2388 and do6213 exploits.
Dan 11:33 And they that understand7919 among the people5971 shall instruct995 many:7227 yet they shall fall3782 by the sword,2719 and by flame,3852 by captivity,7628 and by spoil,961 many days.3117

The ships of chitum by the way meaning Greeks which today would be metaphorically or spiritually speaking and found in the hearts of men per say in the democratic forms of government.
I suppose that I could try to name the kingdom (northern)out of which this particular king (probably metaphorically speaking)originates from nevertheless this would be a person of great influence respect intellect wisdom and knowledge or it would be spiritual in nature ie. one of the 'princes of the husbandry' comes from, but it would be fleeting at best. You all could get a feel for this yourself by the changes in your own feelings so to speak. Trying to exactly identify the motions in the spirit by one entity or the other is ......difficult. Watching peoples behavior is easier but you have to take a macro look at it and you will have to be always in interview mode assessing short, medium and long range states of mind and hearts. Also this is a hindsight view point so it would be only chronicalling rather than a looking up the road effort. I have thought of many more details but....... We have this battle to look forward too.Dan 11:31 And arms2220 shall stand5975 on his part,4480 and they shall pollute2490 the sanctuary4720 of strength,4581 and shall take away5493 the daily8548 sacrifice, and they shall place5414 the abomination8251 that maketh desolate.8074

Dan 11:33 And they that understand7919 among the people5971 shall instruct995 many:7227 yet they shall fall3782 by the sword,2719 and by flame,3852 by captivity,7628 and by spoil,961 many days.3117
But never fear, and in all likely hood in response to prayers:
Dan 11:34 Now when they shall fall,3782 they shall be helped5826 with a little4592 help:5828 but many7227 shall cleave3867 to5921 them with flatteries.2519
Strange though the mention of flatteries in this verse lends me to wonder if the troubles mentioned previously in verse 32 and 33. At least here in the U.S. it appears that sequestering and isolation techniques are being employed. It is also possible that these are just preliminary in nature. but the mention of flatteries hints that the methods are not necessarily overt.
And so it is-another entry concerning what my blog is really about. Prophecy.

We have two cats but THIS is funny
Dear Samantha you just may want to look at this little goody
"I saw the look on Senator Frist’s face, almost the same look was on the dear lady from church as she was overpowered by the odor of cat urine when it slapped her olfactory senses. The difference was in how she handled the situation; ignoring the obvious assault and holding her composure until she could move on to clearer air where she graciously ignored what had transpired only moments before."

I havent a thing to say today
So the word came unto me to go to the Bible and post something from there. And I said unto my Father 'you pick'.
I closed my eyes and the mouse moves close to Phillipians.
And my eyes first fell on this.
Phi 1:2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
e-sword a truly free e-bible.

I am a self centered B-----d
I have found myself unexplainedly explaining myself which leads me to question my voracity lately.
Being on one of those Zen style self examining trips I have discovered somethings about myself which I can summ up as: A straight forward totalitarian Buddhist. A realist who will become a nudist and live in a nudist colony(God help the other nudists), because my life most Resembles One Life to Live and in a final desperate bid for respectability I shall commit a heinous act of counterfeit , but never fear, I rise above it all and become a millionaire dying in my prime with only this final say.
Mwahahahahahahahaha.
Seriously; I end up with a; sumpin out of a 100%, normal score on this one and a note to find the somebody worse than me in my group to give the test to. Uh???? What group? Here is the rest of this last test e-mailed to me.
Who in your group of friends is the least normal of the bunch? Forward them this email with a link to our quiz and confirm your suspicions.Your friends want to know - Are You Normal? Take our quiz to find out: http://www.chatterbean.com/runormal/?
As for you: Your Normalcy Quotient is:' ? 'out of 100.What really counts is how your score compares to those of your normal or not so normal group of friends. Don't forget to forward them this email so you can compare results.
You are a Marvelous MaverickGiddy-up partner. You're a maverick and don't know what the definition of normal is. That's a-okay because you're now part of a fascinating group of desperadoes. Theodore Roosevelt earned a great deal of notoriety for his forceful personality and his resignation of office as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to join the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry regiment, also known as the Rough Riders, to fight in the Spanish American War. This maverick went on to be the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth President of the U.S., took on yellow journalism, and was a noted trust-buster.
Who doesn't remember the lovable Tom Cruise portraying Maverick in the movie Top Gun? He had a heck of a head of hair, but poor Mav can't compare to Hoo Sateow, who owns the record for the longest hair. A native of Chang Mai, Thailand, Hoo's hair measured in at sixteen feet and eleven inches, which only beat out his younger brother Yee by eleven inches. Would it surprise you to know that having a bachelor's degree would make someone a maverick? Only twenty-four percent of people have a bachelor's degree.
And speaking of a maverick in education, Balamurali Ambati is the youngest person to earn a degree to be a physician. Born on July 29, 1977, Ambati graduated the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City on May 19, 1995 at the tender age of 17.
Wherever you ride, it's sure to be off the beaten path because it's way more fun to find the path least traveled.
They glamourize the path finder but what they don't know is that the clique wouldn't let me walk the beaten path and the antics I pulled off they thought were humorous were just the freakin pickers in the briars.
Being on one of those Zen style self examining trips I have discovered somethings about myself which I can summ up as: A straight forward totalitarian Buddhist. A realist who will become a nudist and live in a nudist colony(God help the other nudists), because my life most Resembles One Life to Live and in a final desperate bid for respectability I shall commit a heinous act of counterfeit , but never fear, I rise above it all and become a millionaire dying in my prime with only this final say.
Mwahahahahahahahaha.
Seriously; I end up with a; sumpin out of a 100%, normal score on this one and a note to find the somebody worse than me in my group to give the test to. Uh???? What group? Here is the rest of this last test e-mailed to me.
Who in your group of friends is the least normal of the bunch? Forward them this email with a link to our quiz and confirm your suspicions.Your friends want to know - Are You Normal? Take our quiz to find out: http://www.chatterbean.com/runormal/?
As for you: Your Normalcy Quotient is:' ? 'out of 100.What really counts is how your score compares to those of your normal or not so normal group of friends. Don't forget to forward them this email so you can compare results.
You are a Marvelous MaverickGiddy-up partner. You're a maverick and don't know what the definition of normal is. That's a-okay because you're now part of a fascinating group of desperadoes. Theodore Roosevelt earned a great deal of notoriety for his forceful personality and his resignation of office as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to join the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry regiment, also known as the Rough Riders, to fight in the Spanish American War. This maverick went on to be the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth President of the U.S., took on yellow journalism, and was a noted trust-buster.

I am going to keep this comment
I think it is great that someone such as this would bother to make a comment like this in a little guy's web sitel, mine that is.

Creation letter 5
Where Did the Universe Come From?
Part 5
Ron,
Today I introduce to you one of the most powerful science presentations I have ever heard. I listened to Hugh Ross give this presentation on atape while I was driving down Interstate 88 in Chicagoone night. As I listened, light bulbs were firing off in my head all over the place. So what's the big deal about this? Here's what you'll discover as you listen:-The delicate balance of vast forces in the universe,necessary for life to exist-Why planet earth is so extremely special in its ability to support life-The very measurement of the entire universe in all its magnificence, made possible only within the last 15 years-A fascinating place where science and theology come together in perfect agreement Now there's one more thing I want to tell you about this talk: It was recorded in 1994. Now why would I give you something called "New ScientificEvidence" if it's 11 years old? Here's why: Because unlike most things 11 years old--with only a couple of exceptions, the information Hugh Ross shares here has been shown to be even *more* accurate today than it was back then. One of the hallmarks of a successful scientific model is that it holds up for years and even decades, even while scholars debate it. I've been following Dr. Ross and his work, and virtually every fact he discusses here has been further strengthened and validated by all the physics and astronomy discoveries in the years since. On this link you'll find both the audio recording and the printed transcript. You can read it online, print it out, listen on your computer, burn it to a CD, or download this to your MP3 player. Go here now:http://www.cosmicfingerprints.com/audio/newevidence.htmEnjoy.

Creation Letter 3
Where did the Universe come from?
Part 3:
Why the Big Bang was the most precisely planned event in all of history
Ron,
In your kitchen cabinet, you've probably got a spraybottle with an adjustable nozzle. If you twist the nozzle one way, it sprays a fine mist into the air. You twist the nozzle the other way, it squirts a jet of water in a straight line. You turn that nozzle to the exact position you want so you can wash a mirror, clean up a spill, or whatever. If the universe had expanded a little faster, the matter would have sprayed out into space like fine mist from a water bottle - so fast that a gazillion particles of dust would speed into infinity and never even form a single star. If the universe had expanded just a little slower, the material would have dribbled out like big drops of water,then collapsed back where it came from by the force of gravity. A little too fast, and you get a meaningless spray of fine dust. A little too slow, and the whole universe collapses back into one big black hole. The surprising thing is just how narrow the difference is. To strike the perfect balance between too fast and too slow, the force, something that physicists call "the Dark Energy Term" had to be accurate to one part in ten with 120 zeros. If you wrote this as a decimal, the number would look like this: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000001
In their paper "Disturbing Implications ofa Cosmological Constant" two atheist scientists from Stanford University stated that the existence of this dark energy term "Would have required a miracle... An external agent, external to space and time, intervened in cosmic history for reasons of its own." Just for comparison, the best human engineering example is the Gravity Wave Telescope, which was built with a precision of 23 zeros. The Designer, the 'externalagent' that caused our universe must possess an intellect,knowledge, creativity and power trillions and trillions of times greater than we humans have. Absolutely amazing. Now a person who doesn't believe in God has to find some way to explain this. One of the more common explanations seems to be "There was an infinite number of universes, so it was inevitable that things would have turned out right in at least one of them." The "infinite universes" theory is truly an amazing theory. Just think about it, if there is an infinite number of universes, then absolutely everything is not only possible...It's actually happened! It means that somewhere, in some dimension, there is a universe where the Chicago Cubs won the World Series last year. There's a universe where Jimmy Hoffa doesn't get cement shoes; instead he marries Joan Rivers and becomes President of the United States. There's even a universe where Elvis kicks his drug habit and still resides at Graceland and sings at concerts. Imagine the possiblities! I might sound like I'm joking, but actually I'm dead serious. To believe an infinite number of universes made life possible by random chance is to believe everything else I just said, too. Some people believe in God with a capital G. And some folks believe in Chance with a Capital C. Tomorrow's installment: "If you can read this email,I can prove to you that God exists." Sound a little bold? Tune in tomorrow - same time, same station.
