The King got out, walked over to an oak tree, shook hands with one of its branches and talked to it for several minutes. He thought he was talking to the King of Prussia. Princess Alexandra of Bavaria was convinced that as a child she had swallowed a full-size grand piano. Nothing could ever shake her from this belief. Ludwig II of Bavaria was Alexandra's nephew. His reign was notable for his decision to reverse night and day. He had a moon painted on his bedroom ceiling and embarked on epic mountain journeys in the dead of night in a golden sleigh, accompanied by coachmen who were forced to dress in the style of Louis XIV. Catherine the Great of Russia, discovering that she had dandruff, imprisoned her hairdresser in an iron cage for three years to stop the news spreading. Enchanted by a primrose in the royal garden, she posted a sentry to guard the plant day and night. Queen Juana of Spain worshipped her husband Philip, who died in 1506, so much that she refused to allow him to be buried and had his coffin accompany her wherever she traveled. Henry Christophe, King of Northern Haiti, ordered his guards to prove their loyalty to him by marching over a 200ft-high cliff. Those who obeyed plunged to their deaths; those who refused were tortured and executed. Christophe eventually ended up shooting himself. ============================================================= >-->From Our Friend Maxy's Pal :) Seasonal flu vaccine shipping early - Cold and flu http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32305759/ns/health-cold_and_flu/ -<>- I'M SURE YOU WILL LOVE THIS, SHANGY.

I`m sure you are very familiar with it, even recognize the chapter, and verse reference. Psalm 8 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise, because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! I have had a blessed life. I've stood on the Rocky Mountains. I've stood in the Atlantic, Pacific, and seen the Mediterranean and the Artic Ocean. I've stood in the jungles of Southeast Asia. I've watched seals playing in the Pacific and otters playing in Canada's north. I've watched humpbacks breaching, and dolphins surfing. I've watched the sun rise and set in both hemispheres and frequently watched the northern lights. The more of God's wondrous creation I see the more amazed I am at its diversity and beauty. When I magnify what I have seen by the number of known planet, and stars my mind staggers at the immensity of God. Truly what is mankind that God would care about us? Then I stop and ponder an even bigger miracle. God not only cares about the six billion plus people in the world today (plus all those who have lived and will live) as a group (which is incredible in itself), but He cares about every one of those people individually. He knows every one of us from before we were born. The Scriptures tells us that He knows even the number of hairs on our head, and had numbered even our days. With six billion people in the world God still loves you and me as individuals. That thought makes me reword the Psalm just a bit-- "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, who am I that you are mindful of me"? It's incredible but it is true. God truly cares about you and me, and every detail of each of our lives. Part of me says impossiable, but God's Word is clear on the subject, and the Bible neither lies nor errs. So I must rejoice with all that is in me, for God knows me as an individual, and loves ME! Oh, Hallelu~Praise God~Truly~I`m~Blessed John-paul --- ...You Are So Right Maxy's Pal! I do Love it! Thanks! -<>- >Points Of Interest...

He was told a twin engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go.' The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off. Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, ‘Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.' 'Why?' asked the pilot. 'Because I'm a photographer for Fox Cable News,' he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.' The pilot was strangely silent for a moment.

Ryan Abood of GourmetGiftsBasket.com said his company created the 7-foot-tall confection -- which was certified by Guinness World Records as the largest cupcake ever made -- with help from Merengue Bakery Cafe of California and Jensen Industries in Whitmore Lake, Mich., which donated the use of ovens normally used to bake airplane wings, the Detroit Free Press reported. Abood said the cupcake, created to raise funds for Passionate- ly Pink for Cure, took 12 hours to bake and weighs 1,224 pounds. He said the cupcake's batter contained 800 eggs, 200 pounds of sugar and 200 pounds of flour. "It's estimated to be around 2 million calories," Abood said. -- Briton, 67, comes out of matador retirement -------- BENALMADENA, Spain - A 67-year-old British matador who was ordered by his doctor to retire more than five years ago has announced he will return to the ring in Spain. Frank Evans, a grandfather-of-five from Salford, England, said he will once again don the bullfighting moniker El Ingles -- The English -- and face off against a bull in Benalmadena, Spain, this month, The Daily Telegraph reported. "I am just delighted to be able to get back into that same bull- ring and show that I am better than ever," said Evans, who quit bullfighting in 2005 after undergoing a quadruple heart bypass and knee replacement surgery. "People should take me as an example of what can be achieved later in life. If I can do this at my age then surely that proves anything is possible," he said. -- Rat-eating plant discovered in Philippines -------- POOLE, England - British scientists said they have discover- ed a plant in the Philippines that feeds by luring and consuming rats. Botanists Stewart McPherson and Alastair Robinson said the plant, dubbed Nepenthes attenboroughii after legendary wildlife broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, consumes "whole rats" by luring them into its mouth and dissolving them with acid-like enzymes. "The plant produces spectacular traps which catch not only insects, but also rodents," McPherson told The Sun in an exclusive interview. "It is remarkable that it remained undiscovered until the 21st century." McPherson and Robinson said their team found the plant on Mount Victoria after hearing accounts of the shrub's eating habits from missionaries. "My team and I named it in honor of Sir David whose work has inspired generations toward a better understanding of the beauty and diversity of the natural world," McPherson said. ========================================================= >-->From CleanLaffs: /` |>18>> / | <- A blonde walked into the pet store and, after looking up and down the aisles, asked the sales clerk for help.

Since their schedules intertwined, they decided to go in together to buy a car. After the purchase, they drove it home and parked it on the street between them. A few minutes later, the rabbi looked out and saw the priest sprinkling water on their new car. It didn't need a wash, so he hurried out and asked the priest what he was doing. "I'm blessing it," the priest replied. The rabbi considered this a moment, then went back inside the synagogue. He reappeared a moment later with a hacksaw, walked over to the back of the car and cut off two inches of the tailpipe. ========================================================= >-->From Cup'OCheer: >GETTING OLD!!!

You know them well, and have probably heard sermons about them, read about them, and maybe even taught Bible class about them. Still don't know who I'm talking about? These are the names of the ten faithless spies that Moses sent into the "Promised Land." These are the men who came back with a bad report, saying that they could not take the land. However, as you know, Moses didn't send 10 spies into the land, he sent 12. Interestingly enough, the two spies who came back with a good report, you probably remember by name...Joshua and Caleb. Interesting isn't it? The difference between being a hero that everyone knows by name, and a nameless blemish on the history of God's people is faith or the lack thereof.

She did every thing she could to get her paintings and handy work submitted to our local museum during her last years. It is because of her that I think of it. My own grandmother died unexpectantly of a stroke. I think for her day and time the fact that she was a Park Ranger was a pretty good legacy for her. Not many females held that position. She was a tough one. As far as achieving such a legacy as to be remembered by what one does for God certainly is something to aspire to, but seems pretty much unreachable to me. There are so many great and wonderful men and woman of God that I think my efforts would be most insignificant compared to them. At best, I hope to leave a legacy to those few who have known me.

CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS - OF WHOM I AM THE WORST I'm glad Paul wrote that. I'm not totally sure he's right - that he is the worst - but that is what he says - and as a destroyer of the followers of Jesus, he must certainly be close to the mark. Anyway since that is what the Word of God says I am prepared to accept it at face value. I'm glad he said it; I'm glad the Bible recorded it and left it there for posterity. Why? Because I have talked to so many people who thought that they were such "bad sinners" that there was no longer any hope for them, or that theirs was a lost cause. Whether in prison or out, it has always been a great joy for me to reassure them, that no matter what they had done, they could not make the claims of either being no hopers or the worst sinner because as I have been able to point out to them - Christ has already saved the worst - the Bible says so - so you are able to be saved. No one iss outside of the scope of Jesus' salvation - it engulfs all people - no one is too bad. Isn't that Good News too? Not only that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners - at which He is the expert - but more than that - He is so successful He had already saved the worst! Go share that with someone today! They are not too bad, they are not beyond hope, they are not beyond help, and they are not beyond salvation. Jesus' death is totally adequate - He has already proved it!

Arise, Earl of Cloves. Arise, Duke of Britingham. Arise, Baron of Munchausen. Arise, Essence of Myrrh...Milk of Magnesia...Quarter of Ten..." --Buggs Bunny "I bet you know my friends like Duke of Ellington, Count of Basie, Earl of Hines, Cab of Calloway, Satchmo of Armstrong?" --Buggs Bunny "Okay, Okay, I'm shuttin' up. Why should I continue to keep yappin' when I'm told to shut up. I'm not the kind that don't know when to stop." --You know who "Love can sweep you off your feet and carry you along in a way you've never known before. But the ride always ends, and you end up feeling lonely and bitter. Wait. That's not love I'm describing. I'm thinking of a monorail." --Jack Handey An off-ramp of a freeway in Long Beach, CA, has been torn up for years. Recently, someone put up a handmade sign reading, "Scientists tell us that the sun will burn out in one and a half billion years. It is sad that this contractor will have to finish working in the dark." When I go to casinos, the most ridiculous sign I see is the one that says..."If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800- GAMBLER." So, I call them and say, "I have an ace and a six. The dealer has a seven. What do I do?" No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach. - William Cowper Brann >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah :) Shangy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -->This is for all you who love food andd DARE to make it at home Yep.
