Wonder if
I wonder if the passing storm in all it's grander and noise, is Mother Nature refreshing the earth, or it's God's way of celebrating Missy's Birthday, or the idiots in Washington getting ready to jam the health care we don't want or need and can not pay for down our throats... just wondering which... it might be... heck, it might even be our children and their children and children's future leaving them before they are born!
I prayed this just now ...
Morning Lord,
You know, You and I have had many trials and many adjustments in our lifetime together. Amazingly, it seems you have blessed me way beyond what I have deserved, let alone wanted. I do believe every request was met with an answer as fast as I dialed it in. I know I have not been faithful, nor have I ever come close to living up to your expectations and the way you love me back sometimes just blows me away. Thank you for all the many gifts and those yet to come our way.
And as you might imagine, when we get together I am either asking or thanking You for all you do. So in that vein...
Father, you seem to always be there when things are going great or need fixin' so I was just thinkin' God, if you don't mind, I sure would love to see each member of congress who keeps voting to spend OUR money needlessly on unwanted healthcare, bail outs, etc while not supporting our troops with money and men, and one of the dumbest President's I have ever seen in my 62 years, get beat in the next election. Just thinkin' Lord... If you need my help, please show me how. The United States cannot afford this idiot, and his band of crazys, and the way things are going, he and they probably will make it against the law for us to pray to You as well, shucks, it might not be legal to believe in You either, (seems he wants to be you) so sneakin' in the one last request... thanks Lord for the many blessing you give us daily, just don't know how many more we need from Washington, if you get my drift.. You are still my King of Kings and Lord of Lords, no matter what Obama and the nuts say...
Amen... amen.

From Allen Jesson... Poetry online friend from UK... comes this wonderful poem.
Hi,
I had an unusual request from a client the other week and I thought
I'd share it with you. Basically, the client had had a very tough
life and wanted me to write a poem, as if from God, to the client.
For obvious reasons, the client's identity will remain anonymous,
but the message that the gift contains is a strong one.
So, if you're having a bad day, or are feeling a little sorry for
yourself, or looking for a little inspiration, then please read on..
Within
Hello, can you hear me?
Yes, I'm sorry, of course you can.
So, I'd like to begin with an apology,
it appears yours has been one tough plan.
I'm sorry, but it really had to be that way,
because everyone has my greatness within,
and I needed to bring out the best in you and
to all explain that, where on Earth can I begin?
I suppose I should start with your father,
he was a tragic case, for me, truly, a lost cause,
you see, some never rise to the challenges I set,
some never get to see my final round of applause.
So, don't take to heart his inconsiderate actions,
he had his demons who in the end, won his day,
and there is NOTHING you could have done to change it,
I repeat; nothing you could do, nothing you could say.
To be honest, your mother was really no better, so,
I gave you the very toughest start on planet Earth,
you see, I wanted to explore your character, yes,
I wanted to see your true and honest worth.
Right now, it may seem like a cruel and callous trick,
but trust me, you will see the logic at the very end,
because you learned early to find the power within, yes,
at the end of the day, "within" is your only trusted friend.
But your 'within' has attracted the worst of thoughts,
I understand and yes, you do really have every excuse,
because from an early age, even in my trusted church,
you have suffered, the very worse kind of tragic abuse.
So, those suicidal thoughts are really quite natural,
but please hear me, let them in and then let them go,
because you have so much to look forward to, yes,
your future will one day be golden and yes, I know.
At the moment, I have had to de-clutter your life,
so, no job, the wheelchair, the battle for what's right,
and you're losing all those around you, your loved ones,
so, all you're left with is your 'within', your Almighty might.
Look, if you don't believe me, please read your Bible,
and look at the struggles I have placed in front of many,
Acts 14:22 tells you how to enter the kingdom of God, so,
if you're looking for sympathy, I'm sorry, I don't have any.
Because just as the butterfly has to break the cocoon,
you humans have to break the shackles of your mind,
go on, start exploring, it's a big Universe out there, look!
Look at the stars, contemplate, go and see what you find.
Of course, you will have companions on your journey,
but to be honest, they have been with you, all along,
and if you listen very carefully to your within, well,
you will hear angels and more in every blackbird's song.
My friend, there is hope. You have me. You have Within,
and I can't think of a river that has a mightier course,
I love you. You are not alone. I am within. I am your within.
Go on, see the light and joy in every day. Go on, feel the force.

and family.

A Gift From The Heart (and sometimes, God)

Crossroads Mall, OKC... now owned by you and I, so let's move in??
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A $29 billion trail from the Federal Reserve's bailout of Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns ends in a partially deserted shopping center on a bleak spot on the south side of Oklahoma City.
The Fed now owns the Crossroads Mall, a sprawling shopping complex at the junction of Interstate highways 244 and 35, complete with an oil well pumping crude in the parking lot -- except the Fed does not own the mineral rights.
The Fed finds itself in the unusual situation of being an Oklahoma City landlord after it lent JPMorgan Chase $29 billion to buy Bear Stearns last year.
That money was secured by a portfolio of Bear assets. Crossroads Mall is the only bricks and mortar acquired through bailout. The remaining billions are tied up in invisible securities spread across hundreds, if not thousands, of properties.

The Grating Communicator
by Ann Coulter
10/21/2009
The Obama administration has attacked Fox News in order to prevent government corruption stories broken on Fox from bleeding into the other media, which are all-consumed with daily updates on Levi Johnston's Playgirl spread and Carrie Prejean's breast implants.
That's understandable. But I think the administration should have picked someone other than David Axelrod to deliver the claim that Fox News is "not really news," inasmuch as Axelrod was behind the leak of scurrilous allegations in Jack Ryan's sealed divorce papers when he was running for a Senate seat against Obama. Talk about vicious personal gossip.
Now that Fox has been branded an untouchable, the teacher's-pet media are jubilant.
In Newsweek, Jacob Weisberg wrote a column saying liberals should refuse to appear on Fox News, pointedly concluding, "And no, I don't want to come on 'The O'Reilly Factor' to discuss it." Considering that Weisberg is a 107-pound weasel with a speech impediment, this is on the order of Weisberg's announcing that he's not interested in appearing in the next "Ocean's Eleven" movie with George Clooney.
The strangest thing about all the invective against Fox is that it is happening in a world that contains MSNBC. At least Fox News primetime hosts, and many of their guests, know something about politics. MSNBC's primetime lineup presents an array of people who sound like earnest college kids who just walked up to a Common Cause table, and the sum-total of what they know about politics is what they read in the brochures.
In the past week, both Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann have rolled out the Willie Horton ad, claiming that it marked the beginning of vicious personal attacks in politics, as opposed to what it was: The most devastatingly relevant campaign commercial in all of American history.
You can always astonish college kids by telling them the true story of Willie Horton. Among the jaw-dropping facts are:
-- In the '80s, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that a prison furlough policy had to be extended to convicted murderers, who were ineligible for parole.
-- Even the Massachusetts Legislature, which contained about three Republicans, realized this was insane, and quickly passed a bill excluding first-degree murderers from the weekend furlough program. But in a desperate bid for the ACLU's Brain-Dead Liberal of the Year Award, Gov. Michael Dukakis vetoed the bill.
-- Horton, who was later released under this program, was in prison for carving up a teenager at a gas station and then stuffing his body into a garbage can. (He had already been convicted of attempted murder in South Carolina -- through no fault of his own, the victim survived.)
-- Even after Horton used his Dukakis-granted furlough to rape and torture a Maryland couple in their home for 12 straight hours, the Greek homunculus issued a statement reaffirming his strong support for furloughing murderers.
-- The Bush campaign commercial about Dukakis' furlough program never showed a picture of Horton. In fact, the actors playing "criminals" passing through a revolving door in the ad were all white.
-- Voters considered it relevant that a candidate for president was so beholden to the ACLU that he backed an idiotic furlough program that released first-degree murderers.
Every informed student of the 1988 campaign knows that the Bush ad didn't show Horton's picture. And yet in Keith's discussion of Bush's allegedly vile, racist use of Willie Horton, he used a phony version of the ad, doctored to include a photo of Horton.
I don't blame Keith personally for this blatant distortion: He gets all his research material from Markos Moulitsas and other left-wing bloggers, so he can't be held responsible for the content of his show. Keith's principal contribution to the program is his nightly display of self-congratulation and pomposity.
Remember, Keith, like his MSNBC colleague Contessa Brewer, majored in "communications" in college, not a research-related field, such as political science. In his coursework, he learned such skills as: Dramatically Turning to Camera, Hysterical Self-Righteousness, Pausing Portentously and Gravely Demanding Apologies/Resignations From Various Public Figures.
Given this background, it's understandable that Keith will make errors. As viewers witnessed recently, he can't even pronounce the name of prominent American economist and philosopher, Thomas Sowell. (Although he did spend three weeks at a Berlitz course in Arabic honing his pronunciation of "Abu Ghraib" to razor-sharp prissiness.)
The bloggers and Keith bring different skill sets to the game. They provide the tendentious half-truths, phony opinion polls and spurious social science, while Keith provides his booming baritone, gigantic "Guys and Dolls" suits and gift for ridiculous, fustian grandiloquence. Keith is far better equipped than, say, the pint-sized, girly-voiced, Frito Bandito-accented Markos Moulitsas to deliver the party line.
But here's the fly in the ointment: Keith has once again been victimized by left-wing blogs into thinking that the 1988 Bush ad showed Willie Horton's picture, when in fact, Horton's race was deliberately scrubbed from the ad.
