GOD IS SOVEREIGN


When I was a Sunday School teacher every lecture began with a prayer and a re-enforcement of the fact that God is Sovereign. That is fundamental. Everything after that is subject to the will of God...everything!
 
When did God assume the Throne? He has been God forever. How old is the earth? Billions of years old. Some explain that once upon a time it was created by a "big bang" and everything began. Matter and gases coming together at some unexplicable moment to form the universe. The world just happened. My wife always questions this theory with a childlike question, "Who created the matter and gases?".
 
The Bible provides many answers and evokes many questions that are left unanswered. Faith and study of the Bible will bring peace and reconciliation to you.
 
I personally lean heavily toward Theistic Evolution wherein life and the species of all life were created by God and evolved under God's expert hand. I can't prove my befief is the absolute answer but as long as we believe, trust and surrender to John 3:16, theories, denominations and apologetic defenses of positions simply do not matter.
 
My life, from a child, has the Trinity as the Source of all things. This season is a good time to quietly reflect on the Sovereignty of God, the power, guidance and teachings of the Holy Spirit and the loving saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
God has been God forever. Eternity has no beginning and no ending and we are all part of it, like it or not. Take time to think and decide where you will spend the balance of eternity.
 
The Bible clearly gives a timeline of Jesus' birth and it wasn't December 25th of any year. That date just attached itself to a non-Christian celebration. Celebrate the birth of Jesus everyday and be careful to not let Santa Claus push the baby Jesus out of the limelight of the day that tradition has set aside as the day of the birth of our Savior. Honor Him...not the merchants.
 
 
Peace to you all!!!!

TIME FOR A FREE RIDE ON THE OBAMA EXPRESS???


I should not be enjoying complaints being made by my Democrat friends and family members. Reality is begining to have a big economic impact on them. The "free ride" that they thought they would get on the "obama Express" went sour when the conductor strolled through collecting fares to ride this train. Not only were they shocked at the cost but they learned that they cannot get off the damn thing either.
 
Did obama, pelosi and dirty harry pull the wool over the Democrats in Washington? They jumped on the train of their own volition. Too much obama KoolAid will dull your senses. So no, they were not duped...they just acted like lambs. They voted for a bill that they didn't even read. Pretty reckless, huh?
 
Did obama lie? Does a she horse pee backwards? He lied about the costs for HIS program. He lied to members of his party. He lied to the American people. He lied to the media...but they are OK with that. 
 
Or was it just pure insanity for a person sitting in Congress to vote for an outlandish bill as they did based on what obama, pelosi and dirty harry told them? A person with any brain cells still working should have noticed the giant red flags that go up when one of these people utter a single word. An insane person is about to tell you what to do...and sadly you throw your constiuents under the obama bus.
 
So what's the point? Well, it is simple...the Democrat Party OWNS obamacare. Not a single Republican voted for it!!  The Dems can't blame it on Bush, Putin, Castro, the Republican or anyone else. It's theirs...every word in every paragragh. A Democrat masterpiece...scarier than a Hitchcock movie.
 
The good thing is every person in the House that voted for it can be voted out next November. One third of the Senate will be up for election next November and it is an opportunity to vote the ones out that voted for obamacare too.
 
If a state or congressional district re-elects these people then there will be no sympathy when your insurance is higher than your rent or mortgage. Would you be willing to skip a house payment and possibly face foreclosure because you can't afford you health insurance...especially the ones thought it would be a free ride?
 
Think this time before you let the government think for you!!!!     

TODAY'S FUNNY!!!!


I was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling and I realized that I desperately needed to fart. The place was packed but the music was really loud so to get relief and reduce embarrassment I timed my farts to the beat of the music. After a couple of songs I started to feel much better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me.
I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my Ipod (with ear piece) - and how was your day?

This is what happens when old people start using technology!

GOING ONCE GOING TWICE SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER


 Money has ruined professional sports in more than one way. It is now trickling down to college football venues. Money is coming toward college football from many directions...ESPN who wants to be "kingmakers", networks, cards, autographs, pictures...you name it and the colleges will sell it to you for the right bucks.
 
College football has now bought into selling its tradition to the highest bidder for cash..stadium naming rights. The University of California is one of the latest sellouts joining Akron, Arkansas State, Central Florida,Louisville, Minnesota, North Texas, Rutgers, Syracuse, Texas Tech, Wake Forest and Western Kentucky. We might as well be prepared for the gunrunners to take aim at the SEC. It has gobbled up every buck tossed its way so far.
 
I just hope Auburn doesn't sellout to big corporations. Naming the playing field Dye Field was bad enough. It will just be too much for the Auburn family to refer to Jordan-Hare Stadium as Snapple Stadium or Burger King Field, Charmin Bowl...or worse!!!

LET'S CLOSE DOWN THE CIRCUS!


All the clucking that you hear coming out of Washington, D.C. are the chickens coming home to roost...and most of them are Democrat chickens.
 
Many of them are liberals including the very same fools that voted for obamacare without reading the bill. That one deed of not reading and fully understanding proposed legislation, yet voted for it, should be enough for never receiving another vote for a political office.
 
Another group is made up of just misinformed or noninformed voters that helped put obama in office. It appears that "it is now time to elect a black to the presidency" has worn off and reality is setting in and it made a hard landing. He is a born loser!
 
The roll-out of obamacare debacle was enough to send shockwaves throughout the nation that the government has been taken over by a plethroa of classless, ignorant and self-serving clowns. Clowns are funny in a circus but you have never seen the CEO of a major circus performing as a clown. It's right the opposite in government...except it's not a damn bit funny!
 
But, to put all people on guard...Hey, you've not seen anything yet. Wait til all the clowns' rules drift down until you experience the error of your vote. Doctors are retiring while there will be more demand for their'S services. How will the doctors be replaced? Possibly from other countries with lower standards...maybe even witch doctors or voodoo practioners. Happy now? 
 
How about it obama supporters? Is obama still the messiah you were waiting on? You thought he would work miracles but have you seen anything but lies, shifting blames, incompetcy and lawlessness? Well, he is good at taking vacations but his wife handles most of that for him.
 
And before you conservatives think that obama has only a couple of years left, you need to pull back the curtains and take a look at who's standing in the wings...HILLARY!!!
 
I would suggest that all who are fed up with the rule of clowns get up off your butts and help close down the circus...once and for all!!!!

THE REDNECK ENGINEER CHALLENGE


The RedneckEngineerChallenge

We are sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people are in the South, and we challenge any so-called  "smart"   Yankee to take this exam: 

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will
support a 10 pound possum.


2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks
in your front yard?

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20
gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product? 


4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches.  How many Budweiser's will be drunk before the trees are cut  down? 

5. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine.  When the porch collapses, how many dogs will be killed? 

6. A man owns a Georgia house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front? 

7. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep
slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail.  Given average
traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will
strike a vehicle with a muffler? 


8. With a gene pool reduction of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?
