Preacher Smith was planning a wedding at the close of the Sunday
morning service.
After the benediction he had planned to call the couple down
to be married for a brief ceremony before the congregation.
For the life of him, he couldn't think of the names of those
who were to be married.
"Will those wanting to get married please come to the front?"
he requested.
Immediately, nine single ladies, three widows, four widowers,
and six single men stepped to the front.

From Joanna and Clinton Wilson.... Death....
D E A T H ~ WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

Bear Removers - From Uncle Ivan.. haha....
A man wakes up one morning to find a bear on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for "Bear Removers."
He calls the number, and the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.
The bear remover arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a mean old pit bull.
"What are you going to do?" the homeowner asks.
"I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, then I'm going to go up there and knock the bear off the roof with this baseball bat. When the bear falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The bear will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van."
He hands the shotgun to the homeowner.
"What's the shotgun for?" asks the homeowner.
"If the bear knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog."
He calls the number, and the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.

The law is the law! or What's good for the goose, should be good for the gander!
From Ward and Melanie Shaklee......
THE LAW IS THE LAW
So if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words under God to be on our money, then, so be it. And if that same government decides that the Ten Commandments are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools, on which they deem their authority, then so be it. I say, so be it, because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen. I say, so be it,because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American Publics' best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot Post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life. I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break;" After all it's just another day. I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be politically correct.
In fact....
I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day...!
What do you all think????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the 'majority' of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........
Please Dear Lord,
Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!
'Amen' and 'Amen'
Touche!
These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to questions those, in government, who support these changes.
Ed notes....~~~~~~~~~~Wonder what it would take to get Satan out and God back in our great USA? But then, this is a society that has come to worry about their pets as much as themselves, saving those in the last hurricanes and flying them in private jets to "safe" areas.. spending millions on this, while the "humans" are living in inhuman conditions, needing help themselves, and millions upon millions needing help in our "other" large cities... across America! Seems we want God "Out" and have come to value our very pets as something spritual, instead of just animals! How embarrassed God must be with just these two things.. a society that wants to remove all reference to Him, the creator.... and values, and worships... their PETS more than they do themselves and/or their fellow man, sigh.....
