Smith When I married Ginny, I gained a new son, daughter and four grandsons. I became an instant grandpa. Over the July 4th Holiday, I got to meet my new daughter and her three boys for the first time. It took a day for my new grandsons to warm up to me. The first day they stared at me, perhaps wondering what they were suppose to do with this man, who they were told is "grandpa." I waited patiently. I knew boys like to play. They'd come to me in their own time. On day two the oldest two were doing summersaults over my lap. The youngest, Ben, took a little longer, but yesterday he raced me across the yard thirty times and won every time. The weekend brought back memories of my own childhood. We had such imaginations. In our minds, a tree was a tower to spot approaching bad guys, a big rock became mountain, a fallen log a space ship headed to the stars. We had toys, but we had to use our imagination, not like the new toys I see my grandkids with. Our toys didn't talk, and if they did, you pulled a string to make it work. We had blocks to build, crayons to create, trucks and cars to push. They were simple toys that required imagination. I thought about the toys in my garage, the ones I saved, when my children outgrew them. They were simple and needed their imagination to work. "Mr. Potato Head" allowed them to learn parts of the body and giggle at the funny face with an ear where it's mouth should have been. I still have an old plastic phone. It has a dial to turn, a bell that rings when you push a button, and that's it. It doesn't talk, squawk, beep or move around the room. It's simple and was used when they played house, nurse, doctor, and secretary. I have a toy doctor's bag, with all the plastic doctor's tools. I remember all the broken bones, cuts, bangs, scratches and aches my daughter repaired as I lay in her office moaning. Most toys today do it all. We don't need imagination, it comes in a box: video games that take us into another world or reality, talking toys, with vocabularies better than most people; computerized toys to teach the alphabet. Kids sit and have imagination brought to them. The teaching toys are great, but children tire of them; it's like being in school. When my son was young and tired of his toys, he would come to me, "Dad, I'm bored." "Go find something to do." I'd reply. "I don't know what to do." "Go outside and find a friend." "Naaa! I don't want to do that." "Use your imagination." "Huh?" What do you mean?" he asked. "Well, when I was young..." You know the routine. Sports is the same. We're entertained for hours watching someone else have fun doing what they are good at. Wouldn't it be better to be playing yourself? If we don't like the sports available to watch, we create new ones. It doesn't matter what, people will pay to see it, because they need to be entertained. I haven't heard of world championship worm digging, but if someone offered a large cash price, people would buy tickets to scream at the contestants. I worry. Are we becoming a society that needs outside influence to have fun? I think I'll go climb a tree. Maybe there's pirate ship on the horizon or someone is attacking my castle. Just imagine? Michael T.

Wicked Abortionist Who Bragged About Cutting Babies Vocal Cords Is Suspended Abortionists often claim they are just doctors who are helping a woman practice her “right” to do whatever she wants with “her own body”, even though everyone knows nothing could be further from the truth. And then there are those abortionists who take it even further – and brag about the horrible things they do to babies – as if they get some kind of sick pleasure out of watching them suffer. One abortionist boasted how she prevented babies from screaming by slitting their vocal cords – but she ended up paying the ultimate price. Leah Torres is an abortionist from Alabama who caused a firestorm when she claimed she doesn’t kill babies for the money but does it to end the “unwanted” pregnancy. As if she is some sort of hero for women.

We often are shocked to see that our innocent places have been infiltrated by evil people. The devil likes to hide in plain sight. Places we think are safe for our children, for instance, we find are where evil likes to rear its ugly head. We learned in the news that some childcare providers, schools, churches, boy scouts and girl scouts have people molesting and taking advantage of our children. We found out the serial killer known as the BTK killer was a husband, father, a Boy Scout volunteer, a murderer, a church leader, a child killer and a stalker. Why? Because using our safe places against us is what a predator will do. They almost always take advantage of the most vulnerable. An angel of mercy or angel of death is a type of criminal offender (often a type of serial killer) who is usually employed as a caregiver and intentionally harms or kills people under their care. https://tinyurl.com/y4n6sjpv So it wouldn't be too surprising to me to find serial killers hiding in plain sight as doctors. Especially ones that can murder and get away with it under the guise of being an abortionist. We learned of this horrific story - More Than 2,000 Preserved Fetal Remains Found on Property of Deceased Indiana Abortion Doctor - Dr. Ulrich Klopfer's license was suspended twice Klopfer was “likely Indiana’s most prolific abortion doctor in history with numbers going into the tens of thousands of procedures in multiple counties over several decades.” https://tinyurl.com/y4ajxu63 We also know serial killers keep Trophies of those they kill. 7 Trophies Saved by Serial Killers - The Lineup https://the-line-up.com/serial-killer-trophies So this is why murdering babies in the womb is so despicable. It is even more outrageous for people to say that an unborn child is not a human. What is it then? God's Word teaches us how he feels about unborn babies. He sees them as humans and has chosen us for His own even before we were born. God Knew Us Before We Were Born https://tinyurl.com/y5jfzfq3 Do not be deceived by the devil's cunning stance of abortion being the right of a woman because it is her body. The devil hates people so he, of course, wants them dead - the sooner the better as far as he is concerned. As far as I am concerned, murder is murder. It is one thing to abort a baby before it has a heartbeat - before 3 months. You are not killing it in my view because it is not alive since the heart is not developed enough for a heartbeat. After 3 months, it is a living human being. It is not right to abort or kill it. That is murder just as killing one's own child is murder. A woman does not have that right. Nor should she.

For I am the LORD who heals you."1 Regarding the laws God gave to the ancient Israelites. While perhaps seeming somewhat strange to us today, many of these were actually laws of health and hygiene. If the people heeded and lived by God's laws, they would be a whole lot healthier than their counterparts in Egypt. In a very similar way, living according to God's laws and principles will also help us to live happier and healthier lives. For example, Ravi Zacharias writes: "In a fascinating article in the April 2000 issue of Christianity Today, psychology professor David G. Myers sifted through evidence to see if it indicated whether faith more often uplifts or debilitates. He writes, 'We now have massive evidence that people in active faith communities are happier and healthier than their un-churched peers. Recent epidemiological studies reveal they even outlive their un-churched peers by several years.' "After paragraphs of citing statistics gathered from the United States and abroad, he concludes that the correlation between faith and morality is more commonsensical than one might think. 'If your car broke down in a crime-ridden area and some strapping teenage boys approached you,' asks commentator Dennis Prager, 'wouldn't you feel better to know they had just come from a Bible study?'"2 Suggested prayer: "Dear God, again I thank You for the laws and principles found in Your Word that, when followed diligently, guarantee a healthier, happier, and more productive life. Help me always to live in harmony with Your Word. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus Christ's name, amen." 1. Exodus 15:26 (NKJV). 2.

If a man remains in Me and I in Him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing."1 "A Bible scholar and pastor tells about a piece of wood that he keeps on his desk. He took this piece of wood from a vineyard in the San Joaquin Valley. It is a section of vine out of which grows a branch. "The owner of the vineyard told him that if two people were in a tug of war using this section of the vine, it would break. However it would never break where the vine and branch are joined together for that is the strongest point of the vine. A vine, according to this teacher, is different from a tree. If you pull on a branch that goes into a tree, it will break at the trunk of the tree--in a tree that is the weakest place. But in a grapevine that is the strongest point--where the branch is joined to the vine."2 Perhaps this is one reason Jesus likened those who truly put their trust in Him as a branch grafted or joined into the vine, the vine being Him. That bond is unbreakable. As Jesus said, "And this is the will of him [God] who sent me [Jesus], that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."3 For further help see: “How to Be Sure You’re a Real Christian" at: http://tinyurl.com/real-christian. Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You that my bond to Jesus is unbreakable, not because of anything I have done (except to believe that Jesus died for my sins), but because of what Jesus has done for me in giving His life to save me from my sins. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus Christ's name, amen." 1. John 15:5 (NIV). 2. The Best of J. Vernon McGee, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1988). 3.

He is well known by baseball fans because he was the first African-American to play for an American League team. "The year was 1947. Doby was a promising rookie for the Cleveland Indians but he didn't look very promising his first time at bat. He was tense and nervous. He swung at three pitches, missed each of them, and struck out badly. He didn't get within a foot of the ball. Slowly he walked to the dugout with his head down. He sat on the very end of the bench and rested his head in his hands. "A player by the name of Joe Gordon was on that same Cleveland team. Joe was an outstanding second baseman. He batted right after Doby. Gordon had a good record batting against the pitcher who was on the mound that day. But something quite extraordinary was about to happen. Joe Gordon went up to the plate and missed three pitches in a row--each of them by at least two feet. He walked slowly to the end of the bench and sat down next to Larry Doby. Then Joe Gordon slowly put his head in his hands. "Did Joe Gordon strike out that day deliberately? We will never know. However it is interesting to note that every time Larry Doby went out on the field from that day on, he first picked up Joe Gordon's glove and tossed it to him."2 One would suspect that Joe Gordon probably did strike out deliberately. Good for him if he did. Sad to say there are some people in the church who are threatened by anyone who might be able to do something better than they can do or gain a little more recognition, so they underhandedly seek to block them at every turn. Think of how the religious people of Jesus's day treated Him? They were so green with envy, they eventually had Him crucified. But thank God for the "Joe Gordons" who have the gift of encouragement and exercise it generously! Let's all encourage someone today. It could make a great difference in their life--perhaps for eternity. Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank You for the many people who have encouraged me along the way … have cheered me on when I was dragging my feet … and lifted me up when I have fallen. Please help me to do the same for others. And above all, thank You for Your unfailing faithfulness to and everlasting love for me, even when I have been at my worst. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus Christ's name, amen." 1. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV). 2. King Duncan http://www.sermons.com/ --- ...This brought to mind our President Trump... While the Democrats likes to blame Trump for downplaying the Covid-19 virus, I saw a man that was not wanting to panic the American people. I saw a leader who was being as positive as possible during a particularly scary time for the world. He wanted to put our minds at ease but at the same time keep us safe so he early on banned all travel from China. As usual the left name called and huffed and scoffed at his actions. But he did what he felt best for all Americans. Which turned out to be true. President Trump is a man that likes to encourage others. He is a leader that gets people in gear to get the job done. He is one whose compliments easily slide off his tongue to those he is fond of or wishes to work with. He can even find nice things to say about his enemies when he wants to do business or work out a deal with them. It is all about getting along with people. That is how Trump puts it. It is not a bad thing to want to get along with our enemies. We just show our strength and let them know we will not be moved. We'll then have mutual respect for each other. As President Trump puts it - Peace through strength. I was especially upset with these remarks from Former First Lady Michelle Obama: 'Trump is “pinning [violence] on what’s been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity; it’s true, research backs it up; only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all - What the president is doing is - racist.” A study by Princeton University found 570 Black Lives Matter led "protests" turned into violent riots. https://tinyurl.com/y5ehqzss I saw her sweet and innocently say this as if it were absolutely true. I was incredulous at her bold face lies. All we have to do is look at a the BLM violence in the cities. Tucker: Anarchists are working to tear down America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgaFgljFd4A These riots are not about a peaceful protest. BLM is so full of violence in their protests that on social media they are not Black Lives Matter - their BLM stands for Burn, Loot and Murder. These people are ones full of hate and have nothing to do with the civil rights of minorities like Michelle Obama boldly lied about as if we are supposed to not believe our own eyes! I recall her having gone to this church - "G D America" sermon from President Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ - which Obama attended from 1988 to 2008, also called Israel an apartheid state. Wright said that African-Americans, Native Americans and Palestinians have suffered under the “three-headed demon” of “racism, militarism and capitalism.” http://en.inn.co.il/News/Flash.aspx/338671 Barack Obama was at a meeting in 2005 with Rev. Louis Farrakhan who is anti-Jew and has a fundamentally anti-white theology. So it is of no surprise that she lied. She and Barack are against capitalist America and want to fundamentally change it to suit their socialist agenda. Even though socialism has never worked - ever - in history - in any country. They blame Trump for what they are actually wanting to do or are already doing. So when the Democrats blame him for purposely wanting to hurt or kill Americans by saying he doesn't care about them. I guess that is their end game. Trump on the other hand is working hard for America! He wrote: "Last night’s debate between our wonderful Vice President and Phony Kamala proved one thing: the Radical Left would DESTROY America if they win in November and they cannot be trusted. Mike Pence was incredible and exposed the Radical Left for their lies and deceptions. He did a great job fighting for America. He reminded the American People just how far we’ve come in the last three and a half years. We’ve lowered taxes for the middle class, we’ve protected pre-existing conditions, we’ve fought for the unborn, we’ve strengthened our military, we’ve defended our great law enforcement and we are quickly developing a vaccine." I love God and America, so I will vote for Trump and Pence! =========================================================== >-->From Archives InspiredBuffalo: | --====|====-- | .-"""""-. .'_________'. /_/_|__|__|_\_\ ;'-._ _.-'; ,--------------------| `-. .-' |--------------------, ``""--..__ ___ ; ' ; ___ __..--""`` jgs `"-// \\.._\ /_..// \\-"` \\_// '._ _.' \\_// `"` ``---`` `"` >Don't Trust Your Feelings "'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman. 'For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'" ­ Genesis 3:4-5 On July 31, 1964, Country music star Jim Reeves and his piano player Dean Manuel took off from Batesville, Arkansas. Reeves was piloting his Beechcraft Bonanza and his destination was Nashville, Tennessee. Reeves was qualified only to fly during clear weather, but a storm quickly rose and dark skies and rain buffeted the small airplane. Then about 5 p.m., the plane disappeared from airport radar, just ten miles from Nashville. Two days later, the wreckage and Reeves and Manual's remains were found in a heavily wooded area. The official report said that pilot error was the cause of the accident. Reeves had probably experienced vertigo during the storm. Vertigo is the disorienting sensation caused by an imbalance to the inner ear caused by the person leaning in one direction. While in the dark clouds and the buffeting of the storm, Reeves could not discern what was up or what was down. His inner ear probably gave him the sensation that he was in a turn and he overcompensated by turning the aircraft in the opposite direction. If Reeves had been trained to fly on instruments, he would have been able to overcome this false feeling of orientation. God has given us an instrument to live by - HIS WORD. We are not to trust in our own feelings or to make decisions "by the seat of our pants." Today in prayer, thank God for the Bible, that it can be trusted and it can preserve us from all types of danger.

Real servants make themselves available to serve. Servants don't fill up their time with other pursuits that could limit their availability. They want to be ready to jump into service when called on. Much like a soldier, a servant must always be standing by for duty: "No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier" (2 Timothy 2:4 NASB). If you only serve when it's convenient for you, you're not a real servant. Real servants do what's needed, even when it's inconvenient. Are you available to God anytime? Can he mess up your plans without you becoming resentful? As a servant, you don't get to pick and choose when or where you will serve. Being a servant means giving up the right to control your schedule and allowing God to interrupt it whenever he needs to. If you will remind yourself at the start of every day that you are God's servant, interruptions won't frustrate you as much, because your agenda will be whatever God wants to bring into your life. Servants see interruptions as divine appointments for ministry and are happy for the opportunity to practice. -<>- \||/ ,--. | o|o //OO\\ | _| ||c || |(_ | /| `--' `--' azc >LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS By Gail Rodgers Have you listened lately to the words you use when you speak to those nearest and dearest to you? Sometimes in the hurried flurry of our day we simply overlook the way we are communicating. We excuse our hasty words and harsh tones because we are tired or stressed. God's Word reminds us that our words are very important. We need to take responsibility for what comes out of our mouths. Listen to these wise words... "Reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise brings healing" (Proverbs 12:18). Our sharp words have the ability to cut the people around us. A wise person will consider what their words are doing and will seek to communicate in a way that brings healing rather than hurt. We know that our communication is made up of words, tone and body language. * Our words only make up about 7% of our communication. * Our tones make up 38%. * Our body language makes up the remaining 55%. Take note today of what your communication sounds and looks like. It may surprise you. Ask the Lord to remind you to be wise in your speech and gentle in your tones and body language. The world out there is filled with sharp words of sarcasm, criticism, negativity and worry. Go against the flow and ask God to help you bring a calm and gentle spirit to your home and workplace today through the way you communicate. Hearts all around us are hurting. You have a unique opportunity today to be a man or woman of wisdom in the way you communicate. With God's help bring encouragement and healing through your words, tones and body language. -<>- >Links for Your Enjoyment: Our Valuable ANCHOR http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/ouranchor.html The Giver And The Gift http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/givergift.html Our Gifts And Callings http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/giftscallings.html The Blue Ribbon http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/blueribbon.html World's Beautiful Trees! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/worldstrees.html One Word Essay http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/essay.html Pay It Forward http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/payitforward.html Tricks For Treats 3 http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/tricksfortreats3.html Horse Costumes http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/horsecostumes.html True Duck Tale http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/duck.html Casa Batllo - House Of Bones http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/hbones.html Feather Painting 2 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/feather2.html Leaf Art Paintings http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/art.html Extreme Poodle Makeover http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/poodlemakeover.html Great White Shark http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/greatwhite.html Halloween Animations: http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/agifs_f-j.html Fall & Halloween Index! http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/halloweenindex.html -<>- Heaven Bible Studies https://tinyurl.com/y46cc46 -<>- >In The News: Hannity 10/7/20 https://www.bitchute.com/video/cjwSriRSxADI/ Undecided voters found Harris 'abrasive, condescending' in vice presidential debate: Frank Luntz - 'It was clear that Mike Pence was the winner of tonight's confrontation,' pollster says https://tinyurl.com/y3rs24tb Harris with her smiling and smirking was telling us she's lying - her red flag is something called “Duping Delight.” - Expert “Lie Spotter” Reveals Telltale Signs Of Deception https://tinyurl.com/y56rt4gh Key takeaways from the vice-presidential debate - On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence and Sen.

What a horrible thing to accuse our loving God and Father of! The only way this is true would be if you change the Captital G to a lower case g - then yes - it is Satan's gift to the Left! There you have the author of this nasty thing! “I just think that COVID is God’s gift to the Left,” Jane Fonda said. “That’s a terrible thing to say. I think it was a very difficult thing to send down to us, but it has ripped the band- aid off who [Trump] is and what he stands for and what is being done to average people and working people in this country.” Hello! Is she a real blonde? The average working people in this country love what he has done for them - lowest unemployment rates for all minorities ever in the US was achieved by Pres. Trump! Women seeing the highest number employed in decades! He is a fighter bringing our jobs back and giving us opportunities we were told would take a magic wand to bring back here in America! You can tell the average American loves Trump by the thousands who attend his rallys, Boat Parades, Car Parades, Bike and Motorcycle Parades and Truck Parades. Biden hasn't got the love of the American people because he hasn't done anything for them. He has little turnout for anything. The only ones who love Biden seem to be those who are against this country or who want to keep sucking the money from the average American workers or Satan has blinded into thinking a hard working New Yorker billionaire Trump doesn't have enough of a smooth tongue to please their high standards of moral piety. They judge him more by his talk years ago in what he thought was a man to man private conversation than in is actions and demeanor of today. Which is noteworthy to me. Not only has he done wonders to turn around this country from the economic failures of Obama, but Trump prefers to use the word 'we' instead of me like Obama liked to do when speaking about his accomplishments. And unlike Obama, Trump likes to mention God asking for His blessing for us and America. "The leftist actress, who is known for trashing America to our communist enemies during the Vietnam War, also said that COVID was a “gift” because it will let the radical left get its way with climate change policies they’ve long pursued in Washington. “We are people who can help determine which way humanity goes. What a great gift,” Fonda said rapturously, “what a tremendous opportunity, we’re just so lucky, we just have to use it with every ounce of intelligence and courage and wherewithal we have.” Yes, Jane, the devil is smiling gleefully at the burned, war- torn buildings as the hopes and dreams of these small business owners (mostly minorities) goes up in smoke. He is rubbing his hands together and dancing from "The coronavirus has plunged the world into calamity. Studies and statistics have suggested that the weight of the virus on people’s minds has driven them to drug abuse and subsequent overdoses, and even outright suicides. In October, a report by the American Medical Association warned that COVID lockdowns have increased the use and abuse of opioids. The report found that up to 40 U.S. states have reported higher rates of drug overdoses. "Also, the death rates both directly from the virus and tangentially are only added to the economic destruction wrought by the lockdowns in nations worldwide. One recent reckoning of the loss claimed that the coronavirus has cost the world’s economy $3.8 trillion." Oh, happy Jane. You may be smiling along with the devil but by all means, I will not stand by and let you pin all this heartache on God Almighty who is love! Love doesn't do this. This is the work of the devil. Which God with Jesus Christ and all his faithful are working hard to turn around! , , /////| ///// | ///// | |~~~| | | |===| |/| | B |/| | | I | | | | B | | | | L | / | E | / |===|/ jgs '---' Romans 8: [28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The Bible says, 'All have sinned and come short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23)." - Billy Graham , , /////| ///// | ///// | |~~~| | | |===| |/| | B |/| | | I | | | | B | | | | L | / | E | / |===|/ jgs '---' >Destroy The Ites (By Steve Troxel, God's Daily Word Ministries, www.gdwm.org) Moses had led the people of Israel through the desert for 40 years and was now preparing them to cross the Jordan River into the promised land of Canaan. As part of this preparation, Moses reminded the people how God had provided for all their past needs and reviewed the laws by which God expected them to live; "and if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us, that will be our righteousness" (Deuteronomy 6:25). The people of Israel would be brought into a right relationship with God as they worshiped Him and obeyed His commands. But as they entered the promised land, there were many enemies which had to be removed. Deuteronomy 7:1-2: "When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations - the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you - and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy." These enemies posed a serious physical threat, but the longer term danger was to their spiritual survival. God wanted these "Ites" completely destroyed because their worldly gods would continually pull at the heart of His chosen people; "Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods" (Deuteronomy 11:16). This can be a difficult message with today's soft view of sin. But there is an important lesson for each of us who desire a close relationship with God. Today, Jesus has provided the path to righteousness; "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe" (Romans 3:22). But God still desires the entirety of our heart and expects us to turn from anything which pulls us away from an unhindered and unrestrained devotion. As he leads us into His promised land of rest and peace, there will always be enemies which entice us to turn from God, many temptations which compete for our time and thoughts...and for our worship. These "Ites" will appear stronger than our ability to conquer. But as we follow hard after God, He will grant us victory; "the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you" (Deuteronomy 7:22). What enemies take us away from the worship of God? What addictions, activities, desires or fears are consuming our heart and keeping us from being focused on Jesus - keeping us from a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father? Let's be determined to possess the land and fully give our heart to God. Let's identify the enemies which hinder our walk and, without mercy, let's completely destroy the Ites.
