Knock Knock

Here is a nice clean Knock, Knock joke for you.

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote, "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."

Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

"A cheerful heart is good medicine" (Prov. 17:22a)

Upsetting News

I received an e-mail this morning that was rather disturbing to me. I thought that I would make this post so that you might be aware of this and if you wish, take action against it.

"Last week I learned that Kid Rock will perform at the Youth Concert at the Presidential Inauguration. Kid Rock represents everything that Values Voters voted against in the last election.

We asked a few of our supporters to call the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) and ask that Kid Rock be uninvited. We were hoping that this situation would be resolved without becoming a major issue. Those who called were told that what AFA had said about Kid Rock performing was only an Internet rumor, that AFA did not know what we were talking about and that AFA was not telling the truth.

Elisabeth Bumiller, writing in the January 3 edition of the New York Times, confirmed that Kid Rock would perform. She wrote: "The Bush twins, Jenna and Barbara, will be hosts of the youth concert, where the teenage singer JoJo will appear along with Kid Rock." An article in WorldNetDaily also confirmed Kid Rock's appearance."

What I read about this guy I would rather not post because it is vulagar and sexual and so I have included some links for you if you are interested.: http://www.afa.net/petitions/kidrockinfo.asp

Here are the ways you can contact to protest against this:
e-mail: http://www.afa.net/Petitions/TakeAction.asp?id=114 The following information will also appear after you send your email. PIC's number is 202-863-2005. If the phone is busy, call until you get through. If you do not get a satisfactory answer, I suggest you call the Republican National Committee. Their number is 202-863-8500. Ask them to express your displeasure with the choice of Kid Rock. Maybe RNC can convince PIC to uninvite Kid Rock.

I really don't like posting things like this but these kinds of things make me sick. I'm hoping that enough calls will be made to put a stop to this guy performing at the Inauguration. one more link you might find interresting is www.afa.net

The power of suggestion

Today I just planned on staying home where it is nice and warm, compared to the 22 degrees outside, when my son asks me how a fillet of fish sounded. I knew something was up. I said that it didn't sound that bad and then inquired as to why he would ask that. He had been chatting with his friend online and she had just finished her lunch and said she had McDonalds hamburger and fries. This of course made him hungry for a Big Mac and fries so we had to go out. This on one side was not a surprise to me because there was another time he chatted with her and she was making chocolate chip cookies and the next thing I know I'm in the kitchen making some.

Now I know that I don't have to do these things but I do love him very much and as I don't have a busy schedule to keep things like this are not a real problem. I just wish he would make sure he has eaten before chatting online with people.

Trash Cans do not take orders

Today was laundry day, how fun is that? Anyway, we had Burger King coupons so we stopped there first to have a breakfast sandwich. I pull into the drive-thru and stopped behind a car. My son says "They now have double croissants." So I start looking at the board to see what they might look like, mind you I am very tired from being in a church revival all week and it is early in the morning, so I am really just sitting there kind of spaced out studying this sign thinking about how they would make this new croissant; that is when my son pipes up and says, "Do you realize you are giving your order to a trash can?" Boy did I feel stupid. I turned my head and sure enough there was the trash can where I thought the speaker was, no wonder no one was taking my order.

I can't say I'm anymore alert than I was this morning but at least tonight I can get to bed and get a good nights sleep as to be able to function better tomorrow.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I hope everyone is having a good one. I really enjoyed the Rose Parade, just wish I could have seen it first hand.

My dad sent me a fax this morning that went like this:

When I die, I'd like to go peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather did; Not screaming, like the passengers in his car were.

May God bless you all in this New Year. And if you are anything like me, don't forget to change the year when writing your checks.
