I hope All Of You Had A GREAT July 4th Celebration!
We had a fun and interesting time with our local Tea Party!
Like I was telling our friend Maxy's Pal, it went pretty well.
For those concerned about President Obama being bashed or
disrespected, there was none of that. Just a large family type
group of people. They started the meeting out with a prayer and
everyone singing the National Anthem. They had a couple people
speak and handed out pamphlets to inform people of the main
concerns of Tea Party. Which is the economy, too much government,
and too much government spending.

>TWO Hot Off The 'Shangy' Press ...
These both come from a forward from our friend and my brother Del.
He was at our local July 4th Parade and Tea Party and got pictures
of all the cool cars at the car show and a new vehicle designed to
help cities with a tight budget. Those who need an ambulance and
a fire truck but have trouble affording both of them. This vehicle
is all in one! Pretty cool! Check these out here...

Play It Where It Lies
_...._
.'.o' o.'. Two longtime golfing buddies got to the course
/o o .o' o'\ one day and decided that today they would play
|'.o 'o. o'.o| the ball where it lies... "No matter what!"
|o. o' o 'o .|
\\ \ o .o.'o'./ /, On the 14th hole, one of them sliced his ball
jgs\'._o__o_.'//// and it ended up on the cart path.
````^^````^^^^```^^ As he reached down to pick up his ball to get
relief, his friend said, "Wait a minute! We agreed that we would
not improve our lies! Remember? No matter what!"
The first player tried to explain that he was entitled to this
relief -- that it was in the rules of golf. But the second fellow
would not allow it. Finally, in disgust, the man went to the cart
and grabbed a club. As he stood near his ball, he took a few
practice swings, each time scraping the club on the pavement and
sending out showers of sparks.
Finally, he took his shot. The club hit the cement again, sparks
went flying, but his ball shot straight towards _,
the green, landed and rolled to a stop -- two .-'`||
inches from the cup. `'--.||

"Great shot!" his friend exclaimed. ||
"What club did you use?" ||

READ THIS LONG TIME AGO & LIKELY SO HAVE YOU BUT, THAT'S OK.
IT'S JUST AS NICE THE 2ND TIME AROUND. -Maxy's Pal
There are times when the simplest things in our memory banks
come back to touch us. I am always somewhat perplexed
(and disappointed) when a minister tries to preach some
way out sermon and overlooks the simple, but best parts
of the Christian faith. Hopefully your day was good, but
a few moments of reflection herein might make it a tad better.
It did for me.

>92 Year Old Preacher
While watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going
to church, I watched a church in Atlanta honoring one
of its senior pastors who had been retired many years.
He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the church
even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at
that age.
After a warm welcome, introduction of this speaker, and
as the applause quieted down, he rose from his high back
chair and walked slowly, with great effort and a sliding
gait to the podium. Without a note or written paper of
any kind he placed both hands on the pulpit to steady
himself and then quietly and slowly he began to speak....
"When I was asked to come here today and talk to you,
your pastor asked me to tell you what was the greatest
lesson ever learned in my 50-odd years of preaching.
I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to
just one thing that made the most difference in my life
and sustained me through all my trials. The one thing
that I could always rely on when tears and heartbreak
and pain and fear and sorrow paralyzed me.... the only
thing that would comfort was this verse........ ....
"Jesus loves me this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
we are weak but He is strong......
Yes, Jesus loves me.....
The Bible tells me so."
When he finished, the church was quiet. You actually could
hear his foot steps as he shuffled back to his chair. I
don't believe I will ever forget it.
A pastor once stated, "I always noticed that it was the
adults who chose the children's hymn 'Jesus Loves Me'
(for the children of course) during a hymn sing, and it
was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see
they knew it the best."
"Senior version of Jesus Loves Me"
Here is a new version just for us who have white hair or
no hair at all. For us over middle age (or even those
almost there) and all you others, check out this
newest version of Jesus Loves Me...

>JESUS LOVES ME
Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
(CHORUS)
When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."
(CHORUS)
When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.
(CHORUS)
I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
(CHORUS)
If you think this is neat,
please pass it on to your friends.
If you do not pass it on,
nothing bad will happen,
but you will have missed
an opportunity to
"reach out and touch" a
friend or a loved one.
God Bless Us All!!!

( @ /_5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE by Sandy Moore
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla
extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for
3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug,
but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a
plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel
slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away
from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

>Free Hair Cut
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.
After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber
replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing
community service this week.'
The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning,
there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting
for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries
to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot
accept money from you, I'm doing community service this
week.'
The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was
a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his
door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went
to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept
money from you. I'm doing community service this week.'
The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there
were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut..
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference
between the citizens of our country and the politicians who
run it.

>-->In The Worldly News:
>From Taipan Daily:
Believe it or not, we’ve actually had a global economy for centuries.
Think back to the far-flung British Empire, or the great Taipans of old
who opened up new trading routes between East and West.
This current economic crisis is global, not just America-centric. All
countries, and all currencies, stand to be deeply affected. And no
currency whose intrinsic value is ultimately determined by politicians
and a printing press could be considered truly safe. (Though some are
certainly far more “seaworthy” than others.)
So where do you go? What do you do? Justice offers his insights and

July 4th Tea Parties - party like it's 1776
It seems fitting that on our Independence Day Americans would gather in
locations all across our country and engage in that most American of
activities - protest against the government. Somewhere, our Founding
Fathers are smiling.
Of course they're surely NOT smiling at the size and cost of the
government they helped establish. Which is the reason for the protests
to begin with. In fact, one could imagine the Founders wondering what's
taken us so long to begin to seriously buck against the monstrous growth
of a government who's finances are so unsustainable as to put the future
existence of the country itself at serious risk.
Contact your members of Congress and say "NO" to more spending!
http://www.conservativeoutpost.com/campaign/cta/stop_spending
>People are finally waking up...
But finally there is an awakening going on all across our country, as
the tremendous expansion of government control and government spending
(and borrowing) proposed by Barack Obama is opening the eyes of many
people who previously didn't give it much thought.

-- Police: Robber with sword stole pain pills ——–
GLENDALE, Colo. - Police in Colorado said a man armed
with a 30-inch samurai sword took painkillers from a
Walgreens pharmacy. Investigators said Dylan Lee Suomi,
19, of Denver, jumped over the counter at the Glendale
pharmacy, threatened employees with the sword and ran
off with an undisclosed amount of Oxycotin pills, The
Denver Post reported Wednesday. Police said Suomi was
caught by officers about 100 yards from the Walgreens.
He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery of
a controlled substance and felony menacing. Suomi was
being held at the Arapahoe County Jail on $50,000 bond.
-- Man arrested three times in just over week ——–
GRETNA, La. - Authorities in Louisiana say a man was
arrested three times in a little more than a week for
allegedly repeating the same crime — not paying a
restaurant bill. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office
said Michael Bryant, 36, of Tucson, Ariz., was first
arrested June 22 after he refused to pay a $23 check at
Melancon’s Annex in Metairie, La., The (New Orleans)
Times-Picayune reported Wednesday. Bryant was released
but then sent back to jail a few days later when he
refused to pay a check at Pitre’s Restaurant in Westwego.
Once again he was released. His third arrest came Monday
when he refused to pay his bill at Sun Ray Grill near
Gretna. Officials said Bryant was released because over-
crowding at the jail requires many non-violent offenders
to be freed to make way for those accused of violent
crimes. Bryant, who was charged with defrauding an inn-
keeper, was being held Tuesday in Jefferson Parish
Correctional Center in lieu of $1,000 bond.
-- Man stole computer from jail ————–
KALAMAZOO, Mich. - A Michigan college student was sentenced
to 180 days for what the judge described as “the dumbest
crime I’ve heard today” — stealing a computer from a jail.
William Bradley, 25, a student at Western Michigan Univer-
sity in Kalamazoo, was convicted of larceny after he took
a computer that was delivered to the jail while he was
serving a sentence for a separate case and concealed it
behind some trash bins to be picked up later, the Kalamazoo
Gazette reported Wednesday. Bradley’s actions were recorded
by Kalamazoo County Jail security cameras. Kalamazoo County
Circuit Judge Gary Giguere Jr. said during the sentencing
it was “the dumbest crime I’ve heard today.” “It may be in
the top half dozen in my career,” he said. “You need to get
a handle on this theft thing. Your life of crime is not
working out.” Bradley agreed with the judge. “I’m not the
best criminal,” he admitted.
-– Vultures take over Fla. couple’s yard ———
KINGSLAND, Fla. - A Florida couple said a flock of about
50 vultures that descended on their yard has grown
accustomed to their pit bulls and refuses to leave. Robert
and Hattie Garrett said the vultures, which began roosting
in trees in their Kingsland yard in January, are difficult
to scare, the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union reported
Wednesday. “They will fly up in the trees, but it’s as far
as they go,” Robert Garrett said. “If you didn’t know
better, you’d think we have a buzzard ranch.” He said his
two pit bulls have given up on trying to chase the birds
away and he has spotted the vultures drinking from the
dogs’ water dish. “I guess they got tired of fussing and
fighting with them,” he said of the dogs. “It’s like the
birds belong there. I guess they got used to the barking.”
The couple said they are turning to the National Wildlife
Research Center for advice on how to get rid of the
vultures.

>Blonde Cookbook
It's fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said
beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some
extra bowls.
Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without
dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend
home for supper.
A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the
rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway.
I can't say it improved the rice any.
Today Tom asked for salad again I tried a new recipe. It said prepare
ingredients; lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving.Tom asked
me why I was rolling around in the garden.
I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a
bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe.
When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.
Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to
dress it for Sunday. I don't have any clothes that fit it, and for some
reason Tom keeps counting to ten.
Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was
hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the
oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much
to my disappointment.
GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week! I am eager
for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Tom.. If I can
talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with a
chocolate moose.

>Breakfast at McDonald's
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently
completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology.
The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish
every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document
their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello
anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake,
literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and
I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.
It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden
everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up
inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there
standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'
His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for
acceptance.
He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I
realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed
gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford.
(If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy
something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached
out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me,
judging my every action.
I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two
more breakfast meals on a separate tray..
I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as
a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the
blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you'
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for
you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I
sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to
me, Honey, to give me hope..'
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because
of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give...
We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in
hand.
I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.
Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'
I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and
being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son,the
instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I
spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read
this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS -
NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

>Perspective!
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to
the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people
live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip , the father asked his son , "How was
the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of
our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they
have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they
have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us,
they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen
if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about
what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh
their perspective and appreciation.
"Life is too short and friends are too few."

>Natural Pharmacy
It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the
fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All
before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we
were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such
slow learners...
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our
body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and
radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now
shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers
and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine
and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape
looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are
also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere,
upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the
nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more
than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and
yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These
foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these
foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the
body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods
replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the
womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs.
Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it
balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical
cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to
grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000
photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods
(modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs
increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as
well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the
glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the
mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the
breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions
help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce
tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion,
Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals
from the body.
Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person. Look
at the date when this was started. Thanks

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered
that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this
problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen
that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface
including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over
300 C.
The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again--enjoy paying them.

>15 Foods To Help You Lose
"Good Housekeeping" Magazine
By Denise Foley
Want To Curb Your Appetite And Stop Sugar Cravings? Then Put These On
Your Grocery List.
Thirty billion a year -- that's about how much Americans spend on
slim-down products, many of which don't even work. A better way to get
real weight-loss results? Go grocery shopping. New research points to
more than a dozen foods, from beans to beef, that can help you fight
hunger, kick your candy addiction, boost your metabolism-and ultimately
shed pounds. And some of these superfoods deliver health bonuses too.
1. Eggs. Skip the bagel this morning. Eggs, which are full of protein,
will help you feel fuller longer-a lot longer. A multicenter study of 30
overweight or obese women found that those who ate two scrambled eggs
(with two slices of toast and a reduced-calorie fruit spread) consumed
less for the next 36 hours than women who had a bagel breakfast of equal
calories. Other research has shown that protein may also prevent spikes
in blood sugar, which can lead to food cravings.
2. Beans. You've probably never heard of cholecystokinin, but it's one
of your best weight-loss pals. This digestive hormone is a natural
appetite suppressant. So how do you get more cholecystokinin? One way,
report researchers at the University of California at Davis, is by
eating beans: A study of eight men found that their levels of the
hormone (which may work by keeping food in your stomach longer) were
twice as high after a meal containing beans than after a low-fiber meal
containing rice and dry milk. There's also some evidence that beans keep
blood sugar on an even keel, so you can stave off hunger longer.
Heart-health bonus: High-fiber beans can lower your cholesterol.
3. Salad. Do you tend to stuff yourself at meals? Control that calorie
intake by starting with a large salad (but hold the creamy dressing). In
a study of 42 women at Penn State University, those who ate a big,
low-cal salad consumed 12 percent less pasta afterward-even though they
were offered as much as they wanted. The secret, say researchers, is the
sheer volume of a salad, which makes you feel too full to pig out.
Health bonus: A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association found that people who ate one salad a day with dressing had
higher levels of vitamins C and E, folic acid, lycopene, and
carotenoids-all disease fighters-than those who didn't add salad to
their daily menu.
4. Green tea. The slimming ingredient isn't caffeine. Antioxidants
called catechins are what help speed metabolism and fat burning. In a
recent Japanese study, 35 men who drank a bottle of oolong tea mixed
with green tea catechins lost weight, boosted their metabolism, and had
a significant drop in their body mass index. Health bonus: The
participants also lowered their (bad) LDL cholesterol.
5. Pears. They're now recognized as having more fiber, thanks to a
corrected calculation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At six
grams (formerly four grams) per medium-size pear, they're great at
filling you up. Apples come in second, with about three grams per
medium-size fruit. Both contain pectin fiber, which decreases
blood-sugar levels, helping you avoid between-meal snacking. This may
explain why, in a Brazilian study that lasted 12 weeks, overweight women
who ate three small pears or apples a day lost more weight than women on
the same diet who ate three oat cookies daily instead of the fruit.
6. Soup. A cup of chicken soup is as appetite blunting as a piece of
chicken: That was the finding of a Purdue University study with 18 women
and 13 men. Why? Researchers speculate that even the simplest soup
satisfies hunger because your brain perceives it as filling.
7. Lean beef. It's what's for dinner-or should be, if you're trying to
shed pounds. The amino acid leucine, which is abundant in proteins like
meat and fish as well as in dairy products, can help you pare down while
maintaining calorie-burning muscle. That's what it did for 24 overweight
middle-aged women in a study at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. Eating anywhere from nine to 10 ounces of beef a day
on a roughly 1,700-calorie diet helped the women lose more weight, more
fat, and less muscle mass than a control group consuming the same number
of calories, but less protein. The beef eaters also had fewer hunger
pangs.
8. Olive oil. Fight off middle-age pounds with extra virgin olive oil. A
monounsaturated fat, it'll help you burn calories. In an Australian
study, 12 postmenopausal women (ages 57 to 73) were given a breakfast
cereal dressed either with a mixture of cream and skim milk or half an
ounce of olive oil and skim milk. The women who ate the oil-laced muesli
boosted their metabolism. Don't want to add olive oil to your oatmeal?
That's OK-it works just as well in salad dressings, as a bread dip, or
for sautéing.
9. Grapefruit. It's back! A 2006 study of 91 obese people conducted at
the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic found that
eating half a grapefruit before each meal or drinking a serving of the
juice three times a day helped people drop more than three pounds over
12 weeks. The fruit's phytochemicals reduce insulin levels, a process
that may force your body to convert calories into energy rather than
flab.
10. Cinnamon. Sprinkle it on microwave oatmeal or whole-grain toast to
help cure those mid-afternoon sugar slumps. Research from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture found that a little cinnamon can help control
post-meal insulin spikes, which make you feel hungry. Health bonus: One
USDA study showed that just a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon a day lowered
the blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in people with
type 2 diabetes.
11. Vinegar. It's a great filler-upper. In a Swedish study, researchers
found that people who ate bread dipped in vinegar felt fuller than those
who had their slices plain. The probable reason: Acetic acid in the
vinegar may slow the passage of food from the stomach into the small
intestine, so your tummy stays full longer. Vinegar can also
short-circuit the swift blood-sugar rise that occurs after you eat
refined carbs such as white bread, cookies, and crackers.
12. Tofu. It seems too light to be filling, but a study at Louisiana
State University showed that tofu does the job. Researchers tested it
against chicken as a pre-meal appetizer for 42 overweight women-and the
participants who had tofu ate less food during the meal. The secret:
Tofu is an appetite-quashing protein.
13. Nuts. Yes, they are fattening: A handful of peanuts is about 165
calories. But research shows that people who snack on nuts tend to be
slimmer than those who don't. A study from Purdue University found that
when a group of 15 normal-weight people added about 500 calories worth
of peanuts to their regular diet, they consumed less at subsequent
meals. The participants also revved up their resting metabolism by 11
percent, which means they burned more calories even when relaxing.
Health bonus: Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids. And researchers at
Loma Linda University recently found that eating 10 to 20 whole pecans
daily can reduce heart disease risks.
14. High-fiber cereal. Studies show that you can curb your appetite by
eating a bowl for breakfast. But how well does it really work?
Researchers at the VA Medical Center and the University of Minnesota in
Minneapolis tested the theory against the ultimate diet challenge: the
buffet table. They gave 14 volunteers one of five cereals before sending
them out to the smorgasbord. Those who'd had the highest-fiber cereal
ate less than those who didn't have as much fiber in the morning. Try
General Mills Fiber One (14 grams per serving) or Kellogg's All Bran
With Extra Fiber (13 grams per serving).
15. Hot red pepper. Eating a bowl of spicy chili regularly can help you
lose weight. In a Japanese study, 13 women who ate breakfast foods with
red pepper (think southwestern omelet) ate less than they normally did
at lunch. The magic ingredient may be capsaicin, which helps suppress
appetite.

A couple drove several miles down a country road, not saying a word. An
earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither wanted to concede
their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules and pigs, the wife
sarcastically asked, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the husband replied, "In-laws."

>Definition of Outdoor Barbecuing
It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do. When a man
volunteers to do such cooking, the following chain of events is
put into motion:
1. The woman goes to the store.
2. The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.
3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is
lounging beside the grill, drinking a beer or soda.
4. The man places the meat on the grill.
5. The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables.
6. The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.
7. The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.
8. The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.
9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
10. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon
seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing
some women.

A fellow slid his car off a road and ended up in a ditch. A
farmhouse was nearby so the motorist asked the owner if he had a tractor
he could borrow to get his truck back on the road.
"Nope, but I got my mule, Blue," said the farmer.
"I doubt a mule is strong enough to pull my truck out."
"You don't know Blue," said the mule's proud owner.
So Blue was hitched to the truck. "Pull, Blue!" The truck didn't
move. And the farmer then called out, "Pull, Elmer!" The truck moved a
little. Then the farmer yelled, "Pull, Biscuit," and the truck was free.
"Thank you so much," said the truck owner. "But I have a question.
You called your mule by three different names. How is that?"
"Simple," said the farmer. "Blue is blind. And if he thought he was
the only one pulling, your truck would still be in the ditch!"

I don't have to ask you if you've ever gotten one of those "official"

TAMPA--American Family Publishers found God in Sumter County. And He may
be very, very rich.
A sweepstakes notice arrived at the Bushnell Assembly of God this month
announcing that God, of Bushnell, was a finalist for the $11 million top
prize.
"I always thought he lived here, but I didn't actually know," said Bill
Brack, pastor of the church about 60 miles north of Tampa. "Now I do.
He's got a P.O. box here."
"God, we've been searching for you," American Family wrote in the
letter, as first reported by the local weekly newspaper, the Sumter
County Times.
The message was centered between two round seals requesting God to "come
forward."
If God were to win, the letter stated, "What an incredible fortune there
would be for God! Could you imagine the looks you'd get from your
neighbors?"
Sweepstakes officials did not return several telephone calls for comment
Thursday.
Brack said a youth pastor collected the mail that day and pointed out
the addressee.
"I read it in church a couple of weeks ago and everyone got a kick out
of it." he said. "It's funny, and everybody seems to enjoy it. It lifted
everybody's heart."
Brack said his 140-member congregation is considering whether to mail in
the entry. The church could use the money.
If the church wins, Brack said he'd settle with American Family for 10
percent on the dollar and call it even.
"I'm willing for them to show up here at the church with cameras and me
in my bathrobe, as long as they write a check," He quipped.
And if American Family chooses a different winner?
"God would be disappointed, " Brack joked.

>God's Truth & America (by Dr. Jack Graham)
"I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth,
just as we were commanded by the Father." - 2 John 4
As the United States celebrates our nation's freedom this weekend, what
better time is there to ask ourselves: Is there really such a thing as
absolute truth?
The Declaration of Independence opens with words that have echoed
through history: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness."
Yes, America was built upon certain foundational truths that have guided
and governed our nation...
Which leads me to ask you today...how valuable is God's truth to you?
The great King Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived, once said,
"Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and
understanding." Solomon knew that truth was valuable - that it was
priceless. So what about you?
Do you love God's truth? Do you obey His truth? Do you stand for His
truth? And do you proclaim His truth?
More and more, our society is turning its back on anyone who believes in
Jesus Christ and the claim that salvation is found only through Him. But
for the sake of our beloved nation and for the people we care about, you
and I must defend the truth of who Jesus Christ is in our generation!
That's why as we celebrate our freedom as Americans this weekend I hope
you will recommit yourself to stand undaunted for the truth. God's
truth. And that through your witness, many people will come to know the
truth that leads to salvation!

>The Unbreakable Laws of God
(by Greg Laurie)
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His
commandments, for this is man's all." - Ecclesiastes 12:13
It is my belief that one of the reasons for the great success of the
United States of America over our 200-plus years can be found in our
origins, the fact that our founding fathers built this country on a
belief in Scripture and in the Ten Commandments.
To quote James Madison, our fourth president, "We stake the future of
this country on our ability to govern ourselves under the principles of
the Ten Commandments."
Now that certainly is a far cry from where we are today. But we
desperately need the Ten Commandments today, and we desperately need to
follow them.
We can either accept the truths of these commandments, or we fight
against them as a nation and as individuals. And, I might add, we will
reap the inevitable results.
As Vance Havner once said, "You cannot break the laws of God. You break
yourself against them. You might as well try to attack Gibraltar with a
pop gun as to go up against the laws of God. You can jump off a
skyscraper, but you do not break the law of gravitation. You break your
neck, but not the law of gravitation."
He is right. You cannot break the laws of God, but you will break
yourself against them. You can buck against these truths and say, "These
don't apply to me, and I will live the way that I want to live." Or you
can see the wisdom God has in giving these commandments to us.
It's your choice. You can do it the easy way. Or you can do it the hard
way.

she wasn't in yet and offered to take a message. The caller
said she'd phone back later.
At 11:00 a.m., the caller tried again, and I reported that
Marina had gone to lunch.
The last call came in at 3:30 p.m. "I'm sorry," I said,

Last night I didn`t eat my crust,
I just poked it under my plate,
I thought that no one would find it there,
But then, as it grew dark and late,
And I was in bed all covered up tight,
I saw that very same `Crust`- I did,
Come walking up over my bed that night.
He had two Big Ears, and Great Big Eyes,
Then with a scarey grinned,
He said to me,
"It`s me, the very same `Crust`, you poked under your plate"--my friend,
You can not hide me,
Don`t you see,
You must never, never do that again"!
"All right, all right, I promise won`t",
"I`ll eat you up till the very last `Crumb'', I said,
If you will please just leave, and get down off my bed",
So he jumped off and disappeared, quick as a flash.
Oh, I searched for him all over my room, and even in the trash.
I searched on shelves, in closet too, and all the floor,
But I can assure you one thing, he`ll come a creeping here no more,

"I love those signs along the highway that say, 'Litter
Removal Next 2 Miles.' That's when I start chucking my
trash out the window." --Scott Wood
"The sure way to tell if a man is a bachelor is to check
his silverware. If it's chewed up from going through the
garbage disposal a few times, he's for real."
--Nick Arnette
"I got a postcard from my gynecologist. It said, 'Did you
know it's time for your annual check-up?' No. But now my
postman does." --Cathy Ladman
"If you tell the truth, you don't have
to remember anything." - Mark Twain
