We Need God Back In Schools and Public Places! I believe we need to put "Prayer" back into our schools, Public Places and Meetings! If anyone is offended then they do not have to listen or take part in it. When I went to school, we said "The Pledge of Allegiance" and a Prayer every morning. It seems to me that the only people who seem to be offended are the type of people, none of us care to associate with anyway! Its so sad that we are being denied our rights to please just a few. I recall a time, when my youngest son wore a T-Shirt to school that made him be sent to the office for. Was it offensive? Not in my eyes. What it said was: "Heaven Or Hell? Your Choice!" I had told my son he could wear it, and to have the school call me if they had a problem with it. And they did! He had gotten the Tshirt at a Church Play he was in. They let him wear it the rest of the day, but I guess the Real Truth Hurt, or they couldn't decided where they wanted to spend Eternity! We are now "reaping what we sowed!" It was our generation that allowed the Nudity, the pornography, the fine that doesn't fit the crime, the disrespect of young adults, the sexual and domestic abuse, etc. etc, ect!! And, now we are trying to fix it! People need to open it their eyes - It all begins at home. Respect is earned - not readily given. Children are taught by example - not by "Do As I Say!" All of us need to Practice "The Golden Rule" and do unto others, as you would have them do to you. We need to Love our neighbors, as ourselves. Lend a Helping Hand, and Be A Friend to those in Need. Get Involved in Community Affairs, Volunteer. Do whatever we can to help Put God and Prayer Back into our world today! How I feel about Tithing! I think Everyone Should Tithe! The first 10% of all our Gross Earnings belong to God. It should be given to the church of which you are a member or that you attend. Anything above that - is a Gift to God and to Jesus. I feel that it is my duty as a Christian to Tithe! If the tithes I have given are misused - then those who misuse them will be held accountable by God, not me because I have done what God expects of me. Since my wife and I have tithed, we have been Blessed in so many ways. Like so many folks, we didn't think we could afford to - but once we started, and really understood that all we had, really was God's anyway - we became committed to do so, and we have never regretted it, and God has Blessed us! Hehehehehehe! We done fixed the problem of "Unavailable and Anonoymous Calls on our Caller ID." Our Answering Machine says, if thats what the caller ID says- then we may or may not be available too. Got tired of all them useless soliciting calls, and fixed it! :) |

My Opinions on Current Events In this column, I'll write some of my opinions on current events. I'll date my entries and update this page frequently, whenever I feel moved to write. I think Everyone in the World is entitled to go to the Physician of their Choice - Not That of some paper - based Company where they may work - that may require them to see the Doctors that some employer's Insurance company decides!!! And, I think that NO Company should be allowed to Own, Operate or to Manage Have Their Own Workmans Comp Insurance Division! All Workmans Comp should be Managed by the State in Which they Live!!! No one should have to wait weeks for some company to tell them, they can or cannot go to a Doctor! Some Doctors might even notice the patient is ill.....if they would do a complete exam, and have the patient disrobe! Its kind of hard to see through clothes, unless you have X-Ray Vision! :)
Todays Date! 01-30-01 I Believe That God Has a Good Sense of Humor! Want to know what kind of a day you are having? Look in the mirror - see which way the curve of your mouth is. I think I have a pretty good sense of humor- I answer the telephone many times bye saying" "Murphy's Mule Barn - How many mules ya want today?" I get lots of chuckles and some hangups too. Ha! Ha! We don't answer the phone, if it says "Unavailable" for the name- if ya don't want me to know who you are, then I reckon I don't need to answer, unless you want to pay my phone bill. :) Speaking of telephones - I finally got caught playing a trick on my wife. At times, when she would be reading something to me, or if I just wanted to get her goat....I'd call her on the cell phone, and it really riles her to go to answer the phone, and no one on the other end. She caught me the other day, with the phone still up at my ear. I grinned at her liked a little kid who just got caught taking cookies out of the cookie jar....so I guess I will have to find me a new joke to play on her. I recall another time, when Anthony was sitting at the table with Marilyn, trying to get her to take him some place. As she did her paperwork, she told him they'd go when she was done. Then the telephone rang, and that really upset him as mom would take longer. As she talked on the phone, he kept telling her with a scissors in his hand "I'll cut you off!" After a while, he clicked the scissors and literally cut the line! Marilyn sat there with a receiver and short cord hanging. Don't know who was more surprised - mom or Anthony. Marilyn said she felt like a fool having to call the person she was talking to especially since the only other phone in the house was a little phone shaped as a corvette. Needless to say, that boy bought us a new phone.
