HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY!!
I hope all of you had a wonderful day today. Hopefully
you took a moment to reflect on this great man that we
set up a day to give tribute to. I have much respect
for Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a true man of God that
tried to do what was right in the eyes of God by teaching
and challenging all people to come together and thank God
for their life. He did God's Will and taught God's Word!

He asked people to look beyond the outer layer of a person
and look to their inner self. The heart of a person. Their
true character and judge them accordingly. He paid the
price for his devotion to God, and to his dreams.
1 John 3:1-3
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear
what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we
shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure."
Those of us who are Christian understand what Martin Luther
King, Jr. was all about. God's children are not defined by
how they look on the outside. God's children - our family -
is made up of all nationalities and races from all ages.
God doesn't care what color a person's skin is or his or her
race or nationality.
When Christ returns, we will be together as one family and
we will see Christ as He really is. Believe you me, when that
day comes, people are not going to care about the color of
Jesus skin or think about his nationality or heritage. All
that will matter is that He is of God Almighty and we share
that bond with Him!
For we know NOW Are We The Sons the God! Praise God!

see it too.

Believe it or not, Sunday was "National Sanctity of Human
Life Day". Check it out here...
http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=387646
Yea, I could hardly believe it when I saw it too! Why? Because
the US people don't seem to give much of a hoot about human
life with the soon to be taking office President elect Barack
Obama. He has been openly for planned parenthood which of
course is all about pro choice which of course is all about
taking human life via abortion. Which of course, to me,
doesn't spell 'sanctifying' human life. So, of course, I was
surprised to see this from OneNewsNow today.
It is good to value life. Think about it. All life is precious.
Anyone can kill and destroy. There is nothing special about the
person who kills. Now if you could create life - then you would
be doing something very special. I am talking the biblical
create - making something out of nothing at all. Can any one of
us do that? No. Why? Because we are not God the creator! Only
God can make something out of nothing at all. Life therefore is
to be valued as something most precious. Why? BECAUSE WE CANNOT
Re-Create that individual life any more - once it is gone, it
is gone forever!
If DNA science has taught us anything, it should be how very
unique and precious life is! Sure, we can clone life, but we
all know that while we may have close to the same, we will
never have the absolutely same due to environment influence
etc. on life as well as the DNA makeup.
You are a most unique individual - but it is not just you - all
of God's creation is very unique, one of a kind, and special.
To be highly regarded and valued. You cannot replace any one
with another. They will not be the same. Maybe close but
certainly not the same. God intended this and achieved this
uniqueness to awe us and win our praise. He could of easily
made things replicate and cloned them but He took it to the
next level to give us the spice of life. The fun, the challenge,
and the greatness of different. A uniqueness in all of life
that is most rewarding. We need to see it and highly value it.
Of course, evil does not see it. Evil does not appreciate life.
Jesus tells us this in John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but
for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
Certainly Jesus died for all men - 2 Corinthians 5:15. We need
to value life. Who are we to know whom God has chosen before
the foundation of this world to be His? - Ephesians 1:4

+---------------- Bizarre Police Reports ------------------+
In Detroit, Oregon, a hunter thought he had found a severed
human head in an abandoned mining shed and called the
police. Deputy Larry Taylor realized it was just the head
of a mannequin when he noticed a price sticker on the
forehead.
A California officer charged the driver of a white Mazda
with DUI after driving down Pacific Coast Highway with the
upper half of a traffic light pole laying across its hood.
When Fonteno asked the drunk driver about the pole, he
responded: "It came with the car when I bought it."
The driver of an armored truck in Edmonton, Alberta
appeared to be signaling for help as he repeatedly swung
his door open. After six police cruisers chased and stopped
the truck, it turned out, the driver had simply tried to
fan fresh air into the cabin after the other guard had
passed gas.
In Boynton, Florida, Michael Harrison and Kevin Carter
were arrested and charged with armed robbery and murder
in their attempt to raise money to attend the police
academy.
Stockholm, Sweden - Customs officers in Stockholm, Sweden
arrested a woman who had tried to smuggle 75 live snakes
in her bra. The officers became suspicious when they
noticed how the woman kept scratching her chest.

Really, Really Bad Traffic
* Freeway congestion is getting so bad, you can change a tire
without losing your place in line.
* All across the country rush hour traffic is bumper to bumper.
The next thing they'll be selling is antiperspirant to put
under your car's fenders.
* Traffic is always heavy in both directions. There are just
as many people trying to get to whatever you're trying to get
away from.
* You have mixed feelings when you see an opening in rush hour
traffic. You're glad for the opening, but you wonder who died.
* It's useless to print roadmaps anymore. You just get on the
highway and go wherever the other cars take you.
* The only way to get home from work on time is to take the day
off... even then, you're cutting it close.
* Traffic is so bad nowadays, a pedestrian is someone in a hurry.
* You don't even have to brush your teeth anymore. Just get in
rush hour traffic, smile, and let someone else's windshield
wipers do all the work.
* You can sit on the highways forever. In fact, some places have
little exit ramps where you can pull over and make a car payment.
* During rush hour the only way you can change lanes is to buy
the car driving next to you.
* Remember the good old days when traffic used to be bumper to
bumper? Now it's windshield wiper to windshield wiper.

-- Police: Man stole shark with bare hands ----------
LYNBROOK , N.Y. - Police in Nassau County, N.Y., said
they have arrested a man who allegedly grabbed a shark
out of a fish tank in a pet shop and hid it in his jacket.
Investigators said Elbert Starks, 30, entered the Total
Aquarium store in Lynbrook Dec. 12 and grabbed the $350
nurse shark out of its tank with his bare hands, Newsday
reported Thursday. He left the store with the shark
concealed in his jacket, police said. Starks is also
alleged to have stolen a cashier's wallet Jan. 2 at Pet
Barn in Franklin Square and used a credit card from the
wallet to buy a $300 eel at Parrots of the World in
Rockville Centre hours later. A police spokeswoman said
Starks, who is charged with felony grand larceny and
misdemeanor petty larceny, was keeping his pilfered fish
in a 200-gallon "personal home aquarium."

VK -- 18th toilet torched in San Francisco ------------
SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco authorities said a construct-
ion site's portable toilet was torched early Thursday,
marking the 18th such arson attack in two months. Fire
Department Lt. Mindy Talmadge said the construction site
toilet at Washington and Taylor streets on Nob Hill became
the 18th portable toilet in the area to be set afire during
the past two months when it was ignited at about 4 a.m.
Thursday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Talmadge
said the 18 arson fires have caused an estimated $45,000
in damage. One construction foreman in the city said he
has been protecting his site's toilet by disguising it as
a storage shed with dark plywood and a brown blanket.
-- Woman took pictures of flasher --------------
DES MOINES, Iowa - Police in Des Moines, Iowa, said a quick-
thinking woman took pictures with her cell phone when a man
allegedly exposed himself to her. Investigators said the
victim was offered a ride home while a remote starter was
being installed in her car Jan. 5 at Elite Styling and
Sound, the Des Moines Register reported. The woman told
police Kyle Matthew Thompson, 20, showed up at her home to
drive her back to the business later in the day when the
work on her car was completed. She said when she entered
the vehicle, Thompson's pants were unzipped and he began
driving in the wrong direction. Police said the woman
pretended not to notice and used her cell phone to take
pictures of Thompson with his pants unzipped. They said
Thompson "jerked the wheel across all lanes of traffic"
on the freeway to head back in the direction of the store
after a friend phoned the woman and she casually gave her
location. Thompson was charged with indecent exposure and
taken to the Polk County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bond.

-- Cow flatulence tax nothing but hot air ----------
EL PASO, Texas - Rumors that livestock owners throughout
the United States could be taxed for their animals' gas
emissions are completely untrue, a federal official says.
Environmental Protection Agency spokesman Jonathon Shradar
confirmed the federal agency has no plans to begin taxing
farm owners like Joe Gonzalez for the flatulence of their
herds, KFOX-TV, El Paso, Texas, reported Wednesday. But
Gonzales, who owns Gonzalez Dairy Farm, Inc., remains
concerned that he could face additional payments in the
future for his animals' instinctual activities. "When I
first heard it, I thought it was ridiculous thing to try
and tax cows for doing what they do naturally. Which is
eat, feed, produce milk, and have by-pass products," he
told KFOX. "It would take away 80 percent of my net profit
per cow. So, instead of making $216 per cow, it would bring
me down to $40 a cow, and of course that would hurt every-
thing else in my income stream," he added. Shradar told
KFOX the EPA report spurring on such rumors is actually
based on air pollution sources outside of animal
flatulence.

Joe, Everyone wants to know your bowling score
and whether you were shown up by Barack Obama,
who during the campaign bowled a 30-something
through 7 frames at which time he gave up. -Kaz
I did a little better than Barry. In three games I scored
an 80-something, then I peaked in the second game with a
105, but by the third game I had dropped again into the
90s. I didn't mind, though, because my date was beating me
and she was feeling good about herself.
Every now and then you have to let chicks feel like they

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window
and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I
also handed her a quarter. She said, "you gave me too much
money."
I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a
dollar bill back."
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat
my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and
said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing."
The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in
change.

"I subscribe to the Tucson newspaper," replied the New Yorker.

Looking at her husband she said, "As soon as I lose my weight
from the last baby, I want to try for a daughter."
The husband reached up to the dash, grabbed an open box of
snacks, and said, "Here, have another cookie."

>Wisdom by Tonto
Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand pulling a male
buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter, "Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Sure, Chief, coming right up." He gets the Indian a
tall mug of coffee. The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp,
turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the
animal to splatter everywhere, then just walks out.
The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand,
pulling another male buffalo with the other. He walks up to the counter
and says to the waiter, "Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess from
yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?"
The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Training for position in United
States Congress: Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for
others to clean up, disappear for rest of day."

Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the State Fair every year. Every year
Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."And
every year Martha would say, "I know, Stumpy, but that airplane ride
cost ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars." This one year Stumpy
and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old.
If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."
Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and
ten dollars is ten dollars." The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks,
I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay
quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but
if you say one word it’s ten dollars."
Stumpy and Martha agree and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of
twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all
his tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot
turns to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you
to yell out, but you didn't."
Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out,
but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Q. Why is Friday the thirteenth regarded with such dread?
A. The Norse, whose mythology gave us fear of the number
thirteen, are also responsible for the anxiety over Friday
the thirteenth. Friday gets its name from Frigg, the
Norse goddess of the heavens. When Norse tribes dropped
their polytheistic religion in favor of Christianity, they
began vilifying Frigg, calling her a witch. In their
attempts to malign the goddess who used to represent love
and fertility, people began to make up stories about her.
In one tale, the deserted goddess was said to convene
weekly meetings with eleven other witches and the devil
--a total of thirteen participants. In these meetings,
which naturally took place on "Frigg's day" or Friday,
Frigg and her cohorts would hatch evil plots for the
following week. As a result of this story, Friday became
known as the "Witches' Sabbath" and Friday the thirteenth
was especially feared.

Dead Horses
The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed down from generation
to generation, says that when you discover that you are riding a
dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. In the US Public
Service, however, a whole range of far more advanced strategies is
often employed. Please note that these can also be readily applied
to church activities.
1. Change riders.
2. Buy a stronger whip.
3. Do nothing: "This is the way we have always ridden dead horses".
4. Visit other countries to see how they ride dead horses.
5. Perform a productivity study to see if lighter riders improve the
dead horse's performance.
6. Hire a contractor to ride the dead horse.
7. Harness several dead horses together in an attempt to increase the
speed.
8. Provide additional funding and/or training to increase the dead
horse's performance.
9. Appoint a committee to study the horse and assess how dead it
actually is.
10. Re-classify the dead horse as "living-impaired".
11. Develop a Strategic Plan for the management of dead horses.
12. Rewrite the expected performance requirements for all horses.
13. Modify existing standards to include dead horses.
14. Declare that, as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less
costly, carries lower overheads, and therefore contributes substantially
more to the bottom line than many other horses.
15. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.
