statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace,
now home to the 4th Infantry division.
It will eventually be shipped home
and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood, Texas.

The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat,
who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.

Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country;
he melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam
and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers
and their fallen warriors.
Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.

To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news?
Because it is heart warming and praise worthy.
The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect
that a flashed breast or controversy of politics does.

But we can do something about it.
We can pass this along to as many people as we can
in honor of all our brave military who are making a difference.
And please pass this on!

After having the news of Jeb Bush's son arrested flung at me all day long I finally posted this on msn spaces blog. This is the way I feel anyone that wants to comment its free. It is still the USA until the minority take over.

WHO THE HELL CARES IF JEB BUSH'S SON WAS ARRESTED???
I personally think that is the stupidist talking point I have heard in a long time. I am a democrat and I have just about reached the end of my rope with the dnc and the likes of the people hijacking the demo party. I am fed up with every damn thing they bring us against them. We are a free nation, at war and it is because we are a free nation.
The politicians that represent this party need to not fly over the mid west they need to come and stay a while and hear us for once. I am not concerned that Washington wants the us against them. I am more concerned that some idioit will allow us to be attacked again. I am concerned that I am a member of a party of the communist now. I am concerned that instead of taking care of us first and doing the right thing we are gonna allow the left of our party to exploit the rest of us. I work every day. I bring home a paycheck. Now I am finding out the Washington Democrats think I should pay the way of the less fortunates to have a free ride. Well Lets re examine what we should stand for. I have no problems with helping the under priveledge. I have no problem reaching out to someone. I do have a problem with everyone wanting to raise my taxes and take what little I have to give someone else. I am concerned that those that think that will never walk in my shoes.
I have a problem with Hillerary Clinton screeching like a fish wife. lets face it she can't even handle her life. Why the hell would I want her handling mine. Any Nag that sticks with a low life that runs around on her, for gain is less than woman. if my husband had embarrassed me and humiliated me as hers did her, I would have kicked him to the curb long ago. Not Hillerary she kept her scum bag. Mrs. Clinton I tip my hat to you trailer trash that made it.
Now for Ted kennedy. He is old and senile. need I say more. Anyone that listenes to that bag of gas deserves what the hell they get. hey Ted ever worry someone will apply super glue to your lunch and you will be caught with your hiball glass stuck to your hand?
Robert Bird aka KKK what a loser.
Dick Derbin ditto to the above. Hey Dick you are your name.
Chuck Shumer again another Ditto.
What the hell are the dems thinking putting the same losers in time and time again. Are they mindless?
Howard Dean. the most mindless of them all.
Me a democrat. what the hell am I thinking.
Hey Neal Boortz is there room for me.

My thoughts on a thing or two.

http://home.earthlink.net/~ekerilaz/archaeo.html
I was surfing the net and it occurred to me that whatever one is interested in there are hundreds if not thousands in the same little boat.
Example sow bug google search turned up Results 1 - 10 of about 324,000 for sow bug [definition]. (0.12 seconds)
I don't even care what a sow bug is but someone went to a lot of trouble to talk about it/them.
Or sparrow Results 1 - 10 of about 6,440,000 for sparrow [definition]. (0.12 seconds)Who knew? Or Bill Clinton Results 1 - 10 of about 41,200,000 for bill Clinton. (0.14 seconds) Amazing for someone that actually didn't do much other than have affairs. Oh well. I was trying to recall his domestic or foreign policies. Guess that is shot too. (Memory that is)
Howard Dean Results 1 - 10 of about 28,900,000 for Howard Dean. (0.32 seconds)A little higher than a sparrow and less than a Clinton. WoW
My point is no one is ever alone in this world. There is always someone that wishes to talk about something. The net has now shrunk the world. The oddest thing I think you can observe is that everywhere someone wants to push an opinion on you. I think the thing is to search out all the facts that you can find and then make up your mind just where you stand. Cause ya gotta stand for something.

Love ya
P.S. Check out old g w on google Results 1 - 10 of about 74,800,000 for George W Bush. (0.07 seconds) ya either love him or hate him I guess.

Dragons in the Tibet Sky

Dragons in the Tibet Sky
The Epoch Times Aug 07, 2005


Above the Himalayas. (www.dajiyuan.com)A photo of two peculiar dragon-shaped objects taken from a plane flying over Tibet’s Himalayas piqued many users’ interest when displayed on a Chinese website. The photographer is an amateur.

On June 22, 2004, the photographer went to Tibet’s Amdo region to attend the Qinghai-to-Xizang Railroad laying ceremony, and then took a plane from Lhasa to fly back inland. When flying over the Himalayas, he accidentally caught these two "dragons" in a picture that he took. He called these two objects "the Tibet dragons."

Looking at the photo, these two objects appear to have the characteristics of crawling creatures: The bodies seem to be covered by scales, the backs have spine-like protuberances, and also they have gradually thinning rear ends. Although the photo caught only a portion of the entire scene, it was sufficient to create the appearance of two gigantic dragons flying in the clouds.

This photo, shown on some websites such as post.baidu.com and other forums, aroused the website visitors’ curiosity. One person commented, “No wonder that China is the homeland of the dragon! Nature is truly mysterious and powerful, it can always produce spectacular sights beyond people's expectations.”

“Is it really true? Is it possible there is an ancient civilization that we don’t know about preserved in places that are sparsely populated?”

“It really looks like the dragons in fables, and I really hope it is.”

Certainly, most website visitors hoped that someone could confirm the authenticity of the dragons in the photo.


Photo of dragons taken from an airplane above the Himalayas. (www.dajiyuan.com)In Chinese fairy tales, the dragon is a kind of rare heavenly creature. Fables say that it can conceal or reveal itself. It ascends to heaven in the spring breeze and dives and hides in deep water in the autumn wind. It can promote clouds and bring about rain. It also became the symbol of imperial authority later on; all emperors of previous dynasties self-designated as dragons, utensils were also decorated with dragons.

Culturally, the dragon is the Chinese ancestors' totem. Nearly all races in China had fables and stories with dragons as the main subject, such as dragon boat races, the dragon lantern dance to celebrate holidays, sacrificial offerings to the dragons to implore timely wind and rain for good crops.

Whether this kind of creature really exists is still an unsolved riddle. In the previous dynasties in China, there had been many documents recording eyewitness accounts of magical dragons. The most amazing events are the various "falling dragons," dragons that suddenly fell to the ground under peculiar circumstances, and were witnessed by many. A relatively recent tale occurred in the puppet Manchuria regime in August, 1944. A black dragon fell to the ground at the Chen Family’s Weizi Village, about 9.4 miles northwest of Zhaoyuan County, on the south shore of the Mudan River (the old name of a section of Songhua River) in Heilongjiang province. The black dragon was on the verge of death. The eyewitness said that this creature had a horn on its head, scales covering its body, and had a strong fishy smell that attracted numerous flies.

The records from previous dynasties also mentioned the connection between the emergence of these kinds of mysterious creatures, “dragons,” and the transition of dynasties on earth. The appearance of Tibet’s magical dragon invites our curiosity and imagination.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
A couple was about to celebrate 50 years together.
Their three kids, all very successful and wealthy, agreed to a Sunday
dinner in honour of their parents. As usual, they were all late and had
varied excuses. "Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad," gushed son number one. "Sorry, I'm
running late... I just didn't have the time to get you a present."
"No worry," said Dad. "The important thing is that we're all together."
Son number two arrived and announced, "Just flew in from L.A. and
didn't have time to get you anything... I'm sorry."
"It's nothing," said the father, "just glad you could be here today."
The daughter arrived. "Happy anniversary! I'm sorry, but I've been out
of town and didn't bring a present." Again the father said, "I really don't care, at least the five of us are together today."
Later, during dinner, the father put down his fork, looked up and said,
"Listen, you three, there's something your mother and I need to tell you.
We came to this country penniless and desperate. Despite this, we were
able to raise you and send you to college. But we never got around to
getting married."The three kids gasped and said, in unison, "You mean we're B$STARDS?"

"Yep," said the dad. "And cheap ones, too!"

Selective Journalism

Another by Charlie
Selective Journalism
The past few days the national media have been raking Pat Robertson over the coals for a remark he made on his 700 Club TV show suggesting the assasination of President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
What prompted Pat to make the remark I don’t know but I was watching at the time and it was said in context with a news article he was responding to concerning Chavez’ anti-American comments and his admiration of and close friendship with Fidel Castro.
What Pat was talking about was that the Venezuelan president and his oil rich nation are rapidly becoming a very real threat to the U.S.A.
Chavez’ fixation with Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution is very disturbing.
It was not too many years ago that Castro, with the help of the Russians, was trying to export revolution throughout the Caribbean community of nations and had the Russians not gone broke there’s no telling how far he would have gotten.
When Ronald Reagan started America’s military buildup and Russia simply could not keep up they had to abandon Cuba and leave Castro with few markets for his sugar.
But if this had not happened and Castro had continued to have Russian military and financial help history could have written a much different story.
Stop and think what an anti-American power drunk leader with massive oil reserves could accomplish if he was bent on reviving the age-old Latin American art of revolution and exporting it to the poor nations in the region.
What Pat said was that the U.S.A. didn’t need another two hundred billion dollar war and that perhaps it would be expedient to just take him out.
Now I’m not going to argue the wisdom of Pat’s statement but I do think that it’s a shame that the only time the major media even mentions a Christian leader is to hold them up to ridicule and there is a whole lot more to say about Pat Robertson than one statement made in the heat of the moment on a television show.
The media would never make mention of the millions of lost souls who have been led to the salvation of Jesus Christ through his ministry.
And they would never tell the world about the millions of people who have been fed and clothed through that same ministry or that thousands of people drink clean water and thousands of others have been medically treated and healed through Pat’s Operation Blessing project.
I guess it seems to them that none of his service to Almighty God is important, just the fact that he made a politically incorrect statement about a dangerous leader.
But actually in the long run the media frenzy will not hurt Pat Robertson. He knows where he is going to spend eternity.
I can’t help but wonder how many of his media critics can make that claim.

Pray for our troops.

I the following at http://www.charliedaniels.com/softek/soapbox.asp Truely stated well
AN OPEN LETTER
AN OPEN LETTER TO MICHAEL NEWDOW, JUDGE LAWRENCE KARLTON AND THE REST OF THE KOOKS ON THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
Well you’re at it again, pursuing your pitiful and pointless attempt to take God’s name out of the Pledge of Allegiance, you poor bitter little man.
You and your ilk are not fooling us. We know what you’re up to. You claim that what you’re doing is in the name of separation of church and state, but what you really want is separation of God and state.
Don’t you know who you are fighting with? No, I guess you don’t since you say that he doesn’t exist.
Well let me try to inform you somewhat, Mr. Newdow. Whether you choose to believe it or not, the very ground you’re standing on was created by God, every breath you breathe, every sight you see and every sound you hear is a blessing from him.
I will make you a solemn promise. You may not believe in God now, but the time is coming when you are going to be faced with the irrefutable fact that God not only exists but that he is the supreme ruler of the universe he created and the final judge of where the souls of men spend eternity.
In the very first nanosecond after you take your last breath, I guarantee that you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God exists. I feel sorry for you, Mr. Newdow, for all your worldly sophistication and intelligence you are nothing but a lost soul pursuing a lost cause.
As Bob Dylan so succinctly put it, you might as well be trying to catch the wind or you may as well be trying to empty the Pacific Ocean with a thimble or remove the Sahara Desert with a teaspoon.
You and your pathetic little band of judges may as well be trying to take down the Great Wall of China by butting your heads against it which in essence is a much more doable task than what you’re attempting.
You see, Mr. Newdow, you belong to a microscopic minority. The overwhelming majority of the people in this country do not want God’s name removed from the Pledge.
For example, did you know that the constitutions of all fifty states mention God or have some reference to the creator or the supreme ruler of the universe, the author of existence, divine guidance or the supreme being?
You’re on a foolish mission, because even if you were able to remove the name of God from the Pledge of Allegiance, which you are not, what are you going to do about the birds that sing his praises every morning, the sun that rises at his command every day, the mighty ocean waves that roll or recede as he wishes, the billions and billions of stars and planets that attest to the power and glory of God?
And most of all what are you going to do about the hearts of men?
In fact, Mr. Newdow, you may have done the very opposite of what you set out to do.
You may have very well reminded people just how out of control and contrary to the wishes of the people a major part of the Judiciary in this country has become, usurping the roll of a duly elected Congress and trying to impose their ideas on an unwilling nation.
Maybe this time we the people have had enough and will insist that our elected officials put people on the courts who represent the collective wills of the citizens who pay their salaries instead of few pitiable people like you, Mr. Newdow.

May God have mercy on your soul.
Pray for our troops.

Isaiah 65:24

This story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa...

One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator).

We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.

Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates). "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.

"All right," I said, "put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm."

The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bot! tle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also to ld them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During prayer time, one ten-year old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. "Please, God" she prayed, "send us a water bottle. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon."

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, "And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?"

As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say,"Amen". I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything, the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever received a! parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator! Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door.

By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the veranda, was a large twenty-two pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children.

Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a ba! tch of buns for the weekend. Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the.....could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out - yes, a brand-new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, "If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly too!" Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted!

Looking up at me, she asked: "Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?"

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months. Packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it "that afternoon."

"Before they call, I will answer" (Isaiah 65:24) This awesome prayer takes less than a minute. When you receive this, say the prayer, that's all you have to do. No strings attached. Just send it on to whomever you want - but do send it on. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards.

Let's continue praying for one another Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them. Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength as they learn submission to Your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask you to do these things in Jesus' name.

P.S. Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something Christ would do.
"Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet."
May you find peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

Ethel was a bit of a speed demon in her wheelchair and loved to
charge around the nursing home, taking corners on one wheel, and
getting up maximum speed on the long corridors.
Because the poor woman was one sandwich short of a picnic, the other
residents tolerated her, and some of the males actually joined in.
One day, Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a door opened and
Goofy Gordon stepped out with his arm outstretched.
"STOP!" he shouted in a firm voice. Have you got a license for that
thing?".
Ethel fished around in her handbag and pulled out a Kit Kat wrapper,
and held it up to him. "OK" he said, and away Ethel sped down the
hall.
As she took the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel, Weird Wally
popped out in front of her and shouted "STOP! Have you got proof of
insurance?"
Ethel dug into her handbag, pulled out a drink coaster, and held it
up to him.
Harold nodded and said "Carry on, ma'am."
As Ethel neared the final corridor before the front door, Crazy
Craig stepped out in front of her, stark naked, with a very sizable
erection.
"Oh, Crap" cried Ethel, "not the Breathalyzer again"

Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. Celery? Never heard of it!
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish. The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Leftover wine??????????? HELLO !!!!!!!


The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than in a Hyundai. Drinking makes some husbands see double and feel single. Living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

The audience at a piano recital were appalled when a telephone rang
just off stage.

Without missing a note the soloist glanced toward the wings and called,
"If that's my agent,
tell him I'm working!"

Received Input

I received some input that did not tell me to go here or there. It was very refreshing. I tried to reply however it was not able to go through for what ever reason. I do however look for the websites and or addy that takes me to the person that took a minute to respond to my blog. Just to say thank you and I appreciate your time. The most valuable thing we all have is time. I cherish someone taking a moment to express an opinion or give me encouragement. Time can never be replaced or duplicated. I am grateful that someone spends even a minute of their time on me.
Enough said on to some lighter things.
Thanks

It was a hot day in the U.P. Helga hung out the wash to dry,
put a roast in the oven, and then went downtown to pick up some dry cleaning.
"Gootness, it's hotter dan hell today," she mused to herself
as she walked down Main Street.
She passed a tavern and thought, "Vy nodt?" So she walked in
and took a seat at the bar.
The bartender walked up and asked her what she would like to drink.
"Ya know," Helga said, "it is zo hot, I tink I'll have myself a
coldt beer."
"Anheuser Busch?" the bartender asked. Helga blushed and replied,
"Vell, fine, tanks. Und how's your viener?"

Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last
instruction of the Mother Superior is that they must not get even
a drop of paint on their habits. After conferring about this for a
while, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off
their robes & habits, and paint naked.
In the middle of the project, there comes a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" calls one of the nuns. "Blind man," replies a voice
from the other side of the door.
The two nuns look at each other and shrug and, deciding that no
harm can come from letting a blind man into the room, they open
the door. "Nice boobs, said the man," where do you want the
blinds."+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Not P.C.

Dwarf with a lisp goes to a stud farm to buy a horse, "I'd like
to buy a horth" he says to the owner of the farm.
"What sort of horse ?" asks the owner.
"A female horth", the dwarf replies and so the owner takes him
to his finest mare.
"Nithe horth", says the dwarf, "Can I thee her eyth?".
The owner patiently picks up the dwarf and shows him the
horse's eyes. "Nithe eyth" says the dwarf, "Can I thee
her teeth?". Again, the owner picks up the dwarf to show
him the horse's teeth. "Nithe teeth, can I see her eerth?"
the dwarf says. By now the owner is getting a little fed up but
again,picks up the dwarf
and shows him the horse's ears.
"Nithe eerth", says the dwarf, "Can I see her twot?"
With this, the owner picks up the dwarf and shoves his
head deep inside the horse's vagina and holds him there
for a few seconds before pulling
him out and putting him down.
The dwarf shakes his head and says, "Perhaps I should
weefwaze that, can
I see her wun awound?"

The Sultan's Son

Once upon a time, a Sultan was blessed with the birth of a son after
years of hoping. The boy immediately became the apple of his father's eye.
Just before his son's sixth birthday, the Sultan said to him, "Son, I
love you very much. Your birthday is coming soon What would you like?"
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airplane." His
father bought him American Airlines.
Just before his son's seventh birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you are
my pride and joy. Ask what you want for your birthday. Whatever it is,
it's yours."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." His father bought him
the Princess Cruise Line.
Just before his son's eighth birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you bring
so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I shall get for
you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons."
His father bought him Disney Studios.
Just before his son's ninth birthday, the Sultan said, "Son, you are my
life. Your birthday is coming soon. Ask what you wish. I will get it
for you.
His son, who had grown to love Disney, replied, "Daddy, I would like a
Mickey Mouse outfit and a Goofy outfit"
His father bought him the Democratic Party and CBS news.

It was four years ago today that the United States was attacked by
terrorists. We will never forget those lost on this day and the brave men
and women who gave their lives to save others.

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say, "Good-bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out for Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said, "Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now." I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I was on four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them. I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me...this way...take My hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. I did not place you in the tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me? September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go." I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. Remember...I love you. Original Title: Meet Me In The Stairwell
 

Joke of the day:

A fellow walks into a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender if
he'd like to hear a good Notre Dame joke.

"Listen buddy," he growled. "See those 2 big guys on your left? They
were both linemen on the Notre Dame football team. And that huge fellow
on your right was a world-class wrestler at Notre Dame. That guy in the
corner was Notre Dame's all-time champion weight lifter. And I lettered
in 3 sports at Notre Dame. Now, are you absolutely positive you want to
go ahead and tell your joke here?"

"Nah, guess not," the man replied. "I wouldn't want to have to explain
it 5 times."

Subject: Awesome...whoever did this deserses credit!]
"AMERICA!"


I don't know who put this together but, they deserve a lot of credit.


Osama Bin Laden, your time is short;
We'd rather you die, than come to court.
Why are you hiding if it was in God's name?
You're just a punk with a turban; a pathetic shame.


I have a question, about your theory and laws;
"How come you never die for the cause?"
Is it because you're a coward who counts on others?
Well, here in America, we stand by our brothers.
As is usual, you failed in your mission;
If you expected pure chaos, you can keep on wishing
Americans are now focused and stronger than ever;
Your death has become our next endeavor.


What you tried to kill, doesn't live in our walls;
It's not in buildings or shopping malls.
If all of our structures came crashing down;
It would still be there, safe and sound.
Because pride and courage can't be destroyed;
Even if the towers leave a deep void.


We'll band together and fill the holes
We'll bury our dead and bless their souls.


But then our energy will focus on you;
And you'll feel the wrath of the
Red, White and Blue.


So slither and hide like a snake in the grass;
Because America's coming to
kick your ass!!!


Keep this email going. PASS IT ON
