SUPERPOWER DOGS IS AN INSPIRING TRUE STORY OF EXTRAORDINARY DOGS AND THEIR LIFE SAVING SUPER POWERS Ricochet's sequence highlights her canine-assisted surf therapy, healing power and emotional support for a boy with special needs & a veteran with PTSD. Ricochet is hosting a reception and private screening of the new IMAX film, Superpower Dogs on Thursday, March 14th at the Fleet Science Center, 1875 El Prado, San Diego, Superpower Dogs, an inspiring true story of extraordinary dogs and their life-saving superpowers, opens on March 15th at IMAX, giant screen and digital cinemas in museums, science centers and other cultural institutions worldwide. Ricochet, a registered and certified goal-directed therapy dog is one of five dogs in the film. The other four include Henry, an avalanche rescue dog, Reef, a water rescue dog, Halo, a search and rescue dog and Tipper/Tony who sniff out poachers in South Africa. All these dogs rescue individuals in physical trauma. Ricochet, on the other paw, rescues people from emotional trauma, such as PTSD. The film, narrated by Chris Evans, takes you on a journey around the globe, introducing you to these remarkable dogs. 3D cameras and computer graphics were utilized so audiences can experience the world through the eyes, ears, and nose of a dog.

Just me ranting again :) (\ \'\ \'\ __________ / '| ()_________) \ '/ \ ~~~~~~~~ \ \ \ ~~~~~~ \ ==). \__________\ (__) ()__________) unknown >-->AOC's Latest Blunders by emb What gets me about AOC is her large presence on social media. She has more followers than Pelosi which probably feeds her egotistic comments and know-it-all videos. If she was a true patriot of our country, this might not bother me so much, but by her speeches, she seems to be everything we do not want in a leader and continues to prove how uneducated and naive she really is. #1. She is against capitalism. This is not very smart. History gives us a clear record to follow showing that no people has ever done well under socialism. The government and leaders reap all the benefits while the rest of the country's people wallows in poverty and despair. Ocasio-Cortez calls capitalism an 'irredeemable' system. She said, “The most important thing is the concentration of capital and it means that we seek and prioritize profit and the accumulation of money above all else and we seek it at any human and environmental cost. That is what that means. To me that ideology is not sustainable and cannot be redeemed,” the Democrat said Saturday during an interview with Briahna Gray, senior politics editor for the Intercept. ”What we are reckoning with are the consequences of putting profit above everything else in society.” This is a skewed perception of what capitalism is. Capitalism is freedom to work and make your own way in life. It is why so many wish to live and work in America. We have capitalism giving us a robust free enterprise. It allows anyone the opportunity to go from rags to riches just by their own ingenuity and hard work. Capitalism is not being greedy or evil. To survive, one must work. This is exactly what our good book teaches us. , , /////| ///// | ///// | |~~~| | | |===| |/| | B |/| | | I | | | | B | | | | L | / | E | / |===|/ jgs '---' Prov.6 [6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Prov.13 [4] The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Prov.20 [4] The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. 2 Thes.3 [10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. Eph.4 [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. That is capitalism. Working instead of begging or asking for or expecting every thing for free. Capitalism allows people to work so as the bible teaches, we may have to give to them who can't work and are poor and needy. #2. She doesn't even like America. Speaking about America, she recently said that 10% above garbage wasn't all that good. Her view is that America is garbage. With that view in mind, I think she needs to go live in practically any other country in the world - save the 7 or 10 other countries deemed better to live in rather than America... AOC's claim that America is 'garbage' ... is garbage Exclusive: Carl Jackson defends President Reagan against congresswoman's attacks Fundamentally speaking, conservatives want voters to be productive citizens, utilizing their God-given strengths. This allows Americans to dream, achieve and feel better about themselves. Whereas leftists like Ocasio-Cortez want Americans dependent upon the government, so they can pat themselves on the back for doling out government crumbs. https://www.wnd.com/2019/03/aocs-claim-that-america-is-garbage-is-garbage/ She is showing her uneducated naive view again. All she has to do is 'look it up dear' and she'd see that America is ranked among the highest of all the world's countries... #8 in Best Countries Overall - No Change in Rank from 2018 The United States of America is a North American nation that is the world’s most dominant economic and military power. Likewise, its cultural imprint spans the world, led in large part by its popular culture expressed in music, movies and television. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/overall-rankings Also ranked #11 By the United Nations: The United Nations recently published its annual Human Development Report, which ranks where people live long, healthy lives —in other words, the countries that are best to live in. The UN looked at nearly 200 countries across a number of categories, including life expectancy, education, gender equality, and financial wealth. Here are the countries that scored the highest. 11. The United States — The US ranks high in financial wealth. Americans earn a median income of $59,039 per year. https://www.businessinsider.com/best-countries-to-live-in-2017-3 Now THAT is what capitalism does for you - doing God's Will - over socialism that only gets poverty and heartache like Venezuela is experiencing or like countries like Cuba. Socialists like to claim countries like Denmark, Sweden and Finland are an example of how their socialism works. However, these countries are NOT socialist countries. They are Capitalist countries that employ heavy socialist programs. Their governments do not own or make anything. They do not create wealth of any kind. They just happen to be very generous. Sorry Bernie Bros But Nordic Countries Are Not Socialist https://tinyurl.com/y6bkycla She also trashes our history and our past great leaders again showing how ignorant and uneducated she truly is. “Ocasio-Cortez Trashes Ronald Reagan…” – Daily Caller She recently called President Ronald Reagan a racist and said he pitted Americans against one another. This statement could not be further from the truth. In fact, it was Ronald Reagan who signed the bill that made the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. a national holiday. #3. She is a fear monger and a hypocrite. Like many before her, she likes to say how we must change our lives to avoid an apocalyptic global warming event in the next 12 years. Yet she prefers taking planes then mass transit every where she goes. She throws doom and gloom around scaring our grammar aged kids (who aren't educated enough to know any better) and spouting her Green New Deal as the godsend that will save our poor world. One of the founders of the environmental group Greenpeace stated that the “Green New Deal” pushed by the Democratic Party and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) would trigger the end of civilization. Patrick Moore described exactly how the “Green New Deal” would lead to catastrophe, from half the population starving to the elimination of every tree on the planet. He also took a shot at Ocasio-Cortez, pointing out that without fossil fuels, “How do you get the food to the center of New York, to Manhattan, where AOC is from? You don’t.” Moore continued: 'it would be basically the end of civilization if 85% of the world’s and also 85% of the U.S.'s energy in the form of coal, oil, natural gas were phased out over the next few years, like ten years. We do not have anything to replace them with. Yes, if we went into a crash course of building nuclear reactors, we could replace them for producing electricity. But that isn't going to happen because the Greens are against nuclear and they are even against hydroelectric dams which at least is renewable. But they don't support that either. So basically they are opposed to approximately 98.5% of all the electricity that we are using and nearly 100% of all of the vehicle and transportation and ships and planes energy that we are using.

Genesis 8:22 [22] While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. According to His promise, God will make sure that 'as long as the earth remains' - until the earth is gone, we shall have 'seedtime and harvest' - meaning we will be able to work and reap the benefits of planting seeds and later work to harvest the plants so we are able to sustain ourselves and our animals with food, 'summer and winter' - normal seasons, 'and day and night' - sunshine and rest time - What we all need for survival. Praise God! AOC is like a piped piper leading the Democrats over the cliff by her hyped up promises of getting every thing for free while the real destination of her proposals is the horrors that we are witnessing now in the once very prosperous Venezuela. They went with socialism and everything for free only to be now suffering in darkness without electricity and having to eat out of garbage trucks just to survive! God, unlike the socialist Democrats, on the other hand, loves us and wants what is best for us. 3 John 1 [2] Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. It is why He encourages us to work and not be slothful begging for handouts. With God, when he spends so much time in his bible trying to teach us the correct way, it is because it is very bad for us to not do what He says. He doesn't want bad things to happen to us. God prefers ABOVE ALL THINGS that we prosper and be in health! Warnings of being a sloth or sluggard are given 26 times in the bible. And the word 'work' is used 964 times. Democrats need to plug their ears around AOC and realize her ideas are like so many scams - simply too good to be true. We all learned this when we were growing up. If it sounds to good to be true, we learned that it indeed was. It was a lie that sucked us in to it simply because we hoped it was true. Hope doesn't make it happen. Action - or work - makes it happen! James 2 [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. You have to have both! Here's another great one from Jon Miller: Slavery Reparations: Just Another Dumb Idea from the Regressive Dems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhN46g-_NHU I don't know about you, but I'll trust God over the socialism that the Democrats like AOC are pushing! =========================================================== >-->From Our Friend Fran :) You don't get anything clean without getting something else dirty. - Cecil Baxter My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky. - William Wordsworth "You cannot change what you will not confront." - John Hagee -<>- ,--. ,--. ( O ) ( O ) `--' \ `--' \ _ >-. / /| `-.__.' Krogg >TO REMAIN POSITIVE A great way to remain positively focused is to have something positive toward which you can direct your thoughts at a moment's notice. That way, when you catch yourself falling into negative thought patterns you can quickly switch your thoughts somewhere else. Imagine what would happen if you made a habit, at the beginning of each day, of finding something new to appreciate about yourself, your life, or your world. Then, any time you felt yourself being drawn into negative, destructive thinking, you could immediately put your focus on that day's object of appreciation and gratitude. Genuine, heartfelt gratitude can have a powerful positive influence on every aspect of your life. It can be an effective counterbalance to all the negativity the world throws your way. Think right now of something for which you can be truly grateful. Then, the next time you feel yourself being drawn into anger, frustration, spite, envy or despair, shift your focus instead to your ready-made gratitude. Keep yourself genuinely and realistically positive with sincere gratitude. And each day will bring even more reasons to be thankful. -- Ralph --- ...So true! Thanks Fran! An attitude of gratitude is the way to start your day!

Yes, often he vents with his twitter account but when he is being magnanimous he is careful not to degrade his relationship or future with a person or group that he is hoping to make a deal with later on. I noticed his magnanimous treatment of Kim Jong Un again with his latest remarks about walking away from the talks with him. I had heard that President Trump walked away because Kim Jong Un had wanted us to remove sanctions in response to to him dismantling one of his primary nuclear facilities. Of course, this was what the US has dealt with for years from NK. They promise they will do something and we go all out and give them money or lift sanctions etc relying on them keeping their word only they always backtrack leaving egg on our face with them laughing at us for being so naive! But, Trump didn't fall for it this time. But he didn't put the blame of walking away on Kim Jong Un. He leveled it between them saying it was a mutual thing. I immediately noticed as he did this press conference how gracious he was. He didn't come out saying Kim Jong Un was stupid or crazy for thinking we'd fall for the same old same old from him but gave him full respect without condemnation so that their relationship could continue on a friendly basis. See the full of it here. https://tinyurl.com/yyh9m5vs He does that a lot. When faced with opposition or negative reactions, he either lashes out at it to destroy it or he meets it with a positive force to diminish it. He is quite a leader and a polished deal maker! No wonder he is a billionaire. He knows how to give and take and be the winner in most cases. Unfortunately, he has met with quite the opposition when it comes to the Democrats and RINOs in Congress. They, unlike his previous business dealings, have a different agenda then what is considered logical. They are not interested in what is best for the people they represent or the country, they simply want to fight against anything Trump wants done. He has stopped being gracious with them and calls them out for what they are. He calls them the party of resistance because that is what they do. They say NO even when it is best to say yes. In other words if our President Trump looks up and comments on how wonderfully blue the sky is, they would argue that he is lying about it and say the sky is actually azure blue. What I call negative nannies! Take the border wall for instance. Congress has previously deemed border walls to be effective and allotted money to build and repair them. But now that Trump wants to do according to what the border agents say is needed to defend our country along the southern border, Congress bucks and says no way will they give the money to Trump! President Trump sees the current border situation as a threat to our country's security. He wants to declare it a National Emergency so that he can get the funding to do what needs done to protect the US and its citizens. Of course they fight him on this. The statistics are staggering - 70,000 of our people dead from overdoes last year with most of it coming over our southern border, MS-13 gangs taking over our cities coming from the southern border, human trafficking of women and children by the thousands being used and abused ino s%x slavery every day and much of it stemming from our porous southern border. No other country would put up with the estimated 1-4 million illegal crossings projected for this year. Let alone the estimated 22 million already residing here now and giving birth to babies that automatically become US citizens making their illegal parents eligible to apply for our benefits on their behalf. How can our President hope to secure the country with so many coming into it that we have NO idea who they are, where they came from, what their intentions are or even what health they are in? We require those coming into the USA to have or be vaccinated yet illegals skip this important step when crossing the border into our country undetected or through the main ports. Putting US citizens at risk. Vaccines for Immigrants and Refugees https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults/rec-vac/immigrants-refugees.html Undocumented immigrants may carry infectious diseases into U.S. https://tinyurl.com/y4x4nngb Since many of these now are adults with children, we are putting our families at risk with them attending our schools and public places. We have no way of knowing if they have had their shots or when. We'll wind up having to have shots again ourselves just to try to keep from having these nasty diseases we mostly had under control before! Efficacy and effectiveness - Duration of immunity provided by vaccines http://www.immune.org.nz/vaccines/efficiency-effectiveness The Senate votes today to approve President Trump's Declaration of Emergency. The RINOs are positioning to vote against it. Why be on the President's side of the party when if every time something he wants comes before you, you go against him and thus against the people who voted him in as President? We voted them in to give us a majority in the Senate, not just add to those against the President! I hope they all resign so we can get people in that truly love our country and our people instead of making it all about themselves and lining their pockets with special interest and lobbyist money and bribes. President Trump is on the positive side of the people of the US. 72% said they agree with the President on his border security plans. That's good enough for me! Go ahead and build the wall Mr. President! The people are with you! Oh, and I am tired of people referring to the border wall as 'Trump's wall'. As far as I am concerned, it is OUR Wall - we the people's - as it is to protect us and our country! As for the nay-Sayers, I suggest we put on a happy face and think positively. No need to get all hot and bothered over them. Rom.12 [19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. We just give them to Christ in prayer. He is the one to take care of them. That way, we reap the best from God. Letting go and Letting God means we can be positive knowing God through Christ will take care of them. After all, being negative only gets you more negatives or bad things. Giving always equals receiving. It is best to be positive so that you reap the positives or good things in life. :) See this great teaching: GIVING EQUALS RECEIVING http://www.absolutebiblestudy.com/Promises/GIVING_EQUALS_RECEIVING.htm =========================================================== >-->From Archives InspiredBuffalo: HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHH'H`HHHHH'H`HHHHHHHH HHHHHbodHHHHHbodHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH'`HHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHooHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHP`HHHHHH'`HHHHHHHH HHHHHHb """" dHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHboooooodHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Krogg >I Hope You Do!

There is a lot of different times in a normal person's life. By normal I mean the average person you will meet in the few years you are here. There is bad times in most normal peoples life. By that I mean, there will be a few unwanted bad things to happen. May be a whole long list of bad things. One after the other. We read that in history about people of some note. Bible tells us of this about a man name of Job. Job had much wealth, daughters and sons. He lost all over night. Job was a good man, did nothing wrong in the sight of God, but he lost it all. Job is not the only one to have had bad to happen that caused them great loss. Job also was given a sickness, great pain. His friends was no help at all. Isn't that the case today. You have wonderful friends while you are on top of the world. Slip to the pits, and you will find out a lot about friends. Friends are few and far between. Most of the time they will say Bill!!! Who is Bill??? Never heard of him!!! Whats more, don't care to know him!!! Some time passed and Job recovered. He was blessed with much more wealth, sons and daughters. I guess friends also.. Seems if you in the dough, have friends. Every one knows you. Bill, did you say Bill? Why yes I know Bill. He is a real nice guy. He is a very good friend of mine. We see much of this type of thing in life. You hit rock bottom, friends run the other way for fear you will ask for a crust of bread. The crust of bread can be can you help me in finding a job, to can you give me a dime for a stale donut. You see I haven't ate in three days. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We also read in the Bible about people that never had the finer things of life. Some just got by, and it was bad at the best. One that comes to my mine was the beggar Lazarus. Seems the poor man for some reason, never had a good day. He asked for the crumbs at the table of the rich man. I have never heard a preacher take off on this other then to give one the idea of food. I think I can take it many different roads. Food is important that is for sure, but a person in this life has other needs. Many a great idea, never went any where because of the bean counters. A great lot of great ideas came from the have not. But how many great ideas went no where due to the fact bean counters was looking at what is in it for me, and my fellow bean counters? One reads in the Bible. Jesus who came into this earth life the same as you and I. Born of woman. Came with nothing, went out with nothing. That is came with nothing, no silver spoon in mouth. Went out with any either. He never had any fancy schooling. Never held a job of high pay. Never had means of travel, other then by foot. Never owned a house. Never had but the clothes on his back. Food was never much, just enough for the needs at time. Now you and I can maybe do better. The thing is all we gain, save, add to, and put away, does not go with us when the clock stops. I can take this many different ways here. All one lies, cheat, steal, or work for, it stays here in the end. Nothing you or I do and have, crosses the river with us in the end. In the end it really makes no difference, if you was rich, or poor. It was the way you lived, and treated others, and main thing believed in the man we called Jesus that counted. You see it says in the Bible. You and I came from dirt, there fore dirt you will return to. That is the body, we are dirt. Rich or poor, makes no difference, DIRT. The rich person can be put into the ground in a vault, fancy casket, all the stuff to keep body as it was at death, it is, will become dirt. Same will happen to the poor person, most of those just gets planted. There will be much long winded speeches and services for the rich, power hungry ones at death. While very little said for the poor like the beggar Lazarus. All the services and fine words means nothing. You see the book on that person closed the minute the clock stopped. -<>- .-"""""-. \ / |.-----.| __|_______|___ '--;-'```'-;--' / / 6_6 \ \ ( ( _) ) ) ( ( .__. ) ) ( `._`-'_.' ) /`'-._`"`_.-'`\ | /___```___\ | \ |___|L|___| / \/ `"` \/ /..,_______,..\ / /\ \ | ,-' `-, | \ `\ ,-'` / jgs __LI`--`\|`.__/ ( /\ LI\ `.___,-'` \ | '.__/ >Kindness One day a woman was walking down the street when she spied a beggar sitting on the corner. The man was elderly, unshaven, and ragged. As he sat there, pedestrians walked by him giving him dirty looks They clearly wanted nothing to do with him because of who he was -- a dirty, homeless man. But when she saw him, the woman was moved to compassion. It was very cold that day and the man had his tattered coat -- more like an old suit coat rather than a warm coat -- wrapped around him. She stopped and looked down. "Sir?" she asked. "Are you all right?" The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like that she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before. "Leave me alone," he growled. To his amazement, the woman continued standing. She was smiling -- her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows. "Are you hungry?" she asked. "No," he answered sarcastically. "I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away." The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm. "What are you doing, lady?" the man asked angrily. "I said to leave me alone." Just then a policeman came up. "Is there any problem, ma'am?" he asked. "No problem here, officer," the woman answered. "I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?" The officer scratched his head. "That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with him?" "See that cafeteria over there?" she asked. "I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for awhile." "Are you crazy, lady?" the homeless man resisted. "I don't want to go in there!" Then he felt strong hands grab his other arm and lift him up. "Let me go, officer. I didn't do anything." "This is a good deal for you, Jack," the officer answered. "Don't blow it." Finally, and with some difficulty, the woman and the police officer got Jack into the cafeteria and sat him at a table in a remote corner. It was the middle of the morning, so most of the breakfast crowd had already left and the lunch bunch had not yet arrived. The manager strode across the cafeteria and stood by the table. "What's going on here, officer?" he asked. "What is all this. Is this man in trouble?" "This lady brought this man in here to be fed," the policeman answered. "Not in here!" the manager replied angrily. "Having a person like that here is bad for business." Old Jack smiled a toothless grin. "See, lady. I told you so. Now if you'll let me go. I didn't want to come here in the first place." The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled. "Sir, are you familiar with Eddy and Associates, the banking firm down the street?" "Of course I am," the manager answered impatiently. "They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms." "And do you make a goodly amount of money providing food at these weekly meetings?" "What business is that of yours?" "I, sir, am Penelope Eddy, president and CEO of the company." "Oh." The woman smiled again. "I thought that might make a difference." She glanced at the cop who was busy stifling a giggle. "Would you like to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?" "No thanks, ma'am," the officer replied. "I'm on duty." "Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?" "Yes, ma'am. That would be very nice." The cafeteria manager turned on his heel. "I'll get your coffee for you right away, officer." The officer watched him walk away. "You certainly put him in his place," he said. "That was not my intent. Believe it or not, I have a reason for all this." She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. She stared at him intently. "Jack, do you remember me?" Old Jack searched her face with his old, rheumy eyes "I think so -- I mean you do look familiar." "I'm a little older perhaps," she said. "Maybe I've even filled out more than in my younger days when you worked here, and I came through that very door, cold and hungry." "Ma'am?" the officer said questioningly. He couldn't believe that such a magnificently turned out woman could ever have been hungry. "I was just out of college," the woman began. "I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn't find anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked the streets for days. It was February and I was cold and nearly starving. I saw this place and walked in on the off chance that I could get something to eat." Jack lit up with a smile. "Now I remember," he said. "I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. I said that it was against company policy." "I know," the woman continued. "Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich that I had ever seen, gave me a cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get into trouble. Then, when I looked over, I saw you put the price of my food in the cash register. I knew then that everything would be all right." "So you started your own business?" Old Jack said. "I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business that, with the help of God, prospered." She opened her purse and pulled out a business card. "When you are finished here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons. He's the personnel director of my company. I'll go talk to him now and I'm certain he'll find something for you to do around the office." She smiled. "I think he might even find the funds to give you a little advance so that you can buy some clothes and get a place to live until you get on your feet And if you ever need anything, my door is always opened to you." There were tears in the old man's eyes. "How can I ever thank you," he said. "Don't thank me," the woman answered. "To God goes the glory. Thank Jesus. He led me to you." Outside the cafeteria, the officer and the woman paused at the entrance before going their separate ways. "Thank you for all your help, officer," she said. "On the contrary, Ms. Eddy," he answered. "Thank you. I saw a miracle today, something that I will never forget. And... And thank you for the coffee." She frowned. "I forgot to ask you whether you used creme or sugar. That's black." The officer looked at the steaming cup of coffee in his hand. "Yes, I do take creme and sugar -- perhaps more sugar than is good for me." He patted his ample stomach. "I'm sorry," she said. "I don't need it now," he replied smiling. "I've got the feeling that this coffee you bought me is going to taste as sweet as sugar." -<>- >Links for Your Enjoyment: I Believe... http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/believe.html God's Night Lights 2 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/night2.html St. Patrick's Day Animated Graphics http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/agifs_p-t.html In Days Past! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/dayspast.html Value Of Life http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/poems/value.html Quit Smoking http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/BibleStudy/quitsmoking.html Giethoorn - The Venice Of Holland! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/gvillage.html Keukenhof Gardens http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/kgardens.html In The Pink! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/inthepink.html Sweet Wooden Car! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/woodcar.html Alcohol and Drug Abuse http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/BibleStudy/alcoholanddrugs.html Aww Animals 5 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/animals5.html Angel Falls http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/angelfalls.html Endangered Wolf http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wolf.html Spring and St.Paddy's Menu! https://tinyurl.com/y4xyz2w8 -<>- What does the Bible say about Money? https://tinyurl.com/y6o32s5d Hezekiah Walker New Video "Every Praise" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuuZMg6NVeA Michael W.

Fines Taipei, Taiwan Residents in Taipei say that it is always rush hour in the city. They chase about day and night on a constant race in every direction, and taxi drivers are the road warriors, known for their aggressive driving skills, impatience, and cynicism. I took Mr. Wong's taxi one day after attending a research conference. "You so dressed up, what do you do?" he asked. I answered that I'm a graduate student in psychology. "Ah!" he said. "People need psychology." And he told me a story. A few nights before, Mr. Wong saw a girl standing alone on a street corner. As their eyes briefly met, she reached out to hail his cab. She was not older than 20, pretty in a melancholy way. It was 5:30 in the morning, the sun was rising, and she asked him to take her to the nearest oceanside. She seemed distracted and tired, so he turned up the radio. They arrived at a rocky beach on the outskirts of Taipei. The girl paid her fare and got out. As Mr. Wong drove away, something about the girl unsettled him, something fatalistic about the way she walked onto that windy beach alone. At the last moment he spun the car around and went back. When he finally saw her, she was barely a dot in the choppy water. The surf was dangerous, but he managed to swim out and drag her back. Once ashore, the girl threw herself on some rocks and started weeping. Mr. Wong sat cold and dripping next to her until she was calmer, then took her to a hospital. She didn't tell her story, and Mr. Wong didn't want to pry. He works in a city full of stories, he said. It wasn't his business to know. "So you think the girl needs psychology?" I asked, using his expression. "No," he replied, "I need psychology!" When Mr. Wong told his co-workers about the incident, some of the older drivers called in over the CB radio to berate him: The girl may have been under a spell, they said. She may have been lured to the water by a drowned spirit, and by saving the girl he has broken the spell and will bring on the wrath of the vengeful ghost! Mr. Wong became very worried. He went to the temple and burned incense for his safety, but has had a hard time sleeping. He asked me whether I thought he needed help. I wanted to tell Mr. Wong that he shouldn't worry, that he shouldn't be affected by superstition, that all too often, people use logical or even mystical excuses for not helping someone in need. But Mr. Wong is a man of beliefs, not theories. So in the end, I said no matter what spirit was causing trouble that night, the fact that he saved a human being will not go unnoticed by the heavens. Mr. Wong nodded quietly, and I'm sure that deep down, he believes that too. =======HeroicStories======= >-->From LaughAndLift: "Every Christian needs a half hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour." - Saint Francis of Sales (\___/) \ (, ,) c\ >' )o_/ check out twitter and facebook /\ ____/ /__ ,_ / \ __/ ` ~ ) / _/// /_ %%%___%, .

In his opening address to his evil angels, he said, "We can't keep the Christians from going to church. We can't keep then from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from conservative values. But we can do something else. We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding experience in Christ. If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken. So let them go to church, let them have their conservative values and religious lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can't gain that experience in Jesus Christ. This is what I want you to do, angels. Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" shouted his angels. "Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent countless schemes to occupy their minds," he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, then, borrow, borrow, borrow. Convince the wives to go to work and the husbands to work 6 or 7 days a week leaving little time to spend with their children. As their family fragments, soon their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work." "Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice. Entice them to play the radio or CD player whenever they drive, to keep the TV, DVD's, and their mp3's going constantly in their homes. And see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays music constantly. This will fill and clog their minds. "Fill their coffee tables with magazines and newspapers. The daily newspapers now in place are not enough; make them fill and distract their minds with the news 24 hours a day! Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, sweepstakes, mail order catalogues, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering, free products, services, and false hopes." "Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted and unprepared for the coming week. See to it they don't go out in nature. Send them instead to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts, movies. And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotions." "Let them be involved in soul-winning, but crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family unity for the good of the cause." It was quite a convention in the end. And the evil angels went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and rush here and there. Has the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the judge. ,-'~~~~-. .-~~~~`-. .' \ / `. ,-'` \ / `-. / , `\/ .' \ ( `\ || /~ ) ~. `\ || /` .~ `~~._____ `\ || /` ____.~~` ___!!!GOOD>Irish Blessings May your glass be ever full May the roof over your head be always strong And may you be in heaven Half an hour before The devil knows you're dead. -<>- A church member waiting to be asked to serve in his own church is just like the member of a family waiting to be invited to pull weeds in front of the house where he lives. ,~~;,~~.~~, (`'` ` ` `, ~~``` ` ` ; |@ , @ | , '; ' ( ' ` ; `._o__/^;' '; ;..'

(Author Unknown) Several centuries ago in a mountain village in Europe, a wealthy nobleman wondered what legacy he should leave to his townspeople. He made a good decision. He decided to build them a church. No one was permitted to see the plans or the inside of the church until it was finished. At its grand opening, the people gathered and marveled at the beauty of the new church. Everything had been thought of and included. It was a masterpiece. But then someone said, "Wait a minute! Where are the lamps? It is really quite dark in here. How will the church be lighted?" The nobleman pointed to some brackets in the walls, and then he gave each family a lamp, which they were to bring with them each time they came to worship. "Each time you are here'" the nobleman said, "the place where you are seated will be lighted. Each time you are not here, that place will be dark. This is to remind you that whenever you fail to come to church, some part of God's house will be dark" That's a poignant story, isn't it? The poet Edward Everett Hale put it like this: I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something I can do. What if every member of your church supported the church just as you do? What kind of church would you have? What if every single member served the church, attended the church, loved the church, shared the church, and gave to the church exactly as you do? What kind of church would you be?
