What you have...be compelled to give.
What you learn...be compelled to teach.
When you are lost...pray for the way.
When you are found...praise God for each day.

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic
Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises
Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you...
You are carrying a
Kimber Super Carry Pro 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?

Democrat's Answer:
- Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
- Does the man look poor or oppressed?
- Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
- Could we run away?
- What does my wife think?
- What about the kids?
- Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
- What does the law say about this situation?
- Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
- Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
- Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
- Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
- If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
- Should I call 9-1-1?
- Why is this street so deserted?
- We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.
- Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
- I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
- This is all so confusing!
Republican's Answer:

Truths about how to avoid DIVORCE or the ruin of your special bond
Remember: Nothing negative in the first 5 minutes of any reunion...after several hours apart~You should always experience the first 5 as warm, welcoming, sharing, caring, and offering to help the other in some way. This will set the tone for the rest of the day/night.
NEVER attack the other persons feelings~ character or intelligence. Mockery, belittlement, demoralizing, etc. Is **never** forgotten.
Allow runaway disagreements to defuse~ Each agrees to a predetermined amount of time to think about each others point of view and return with a fresh perspective.
Take it private~ Never fight in front of friends, family, or especially your children. They will form opinions without knowing all the facts and "someone" becomes the bad guy. The onlookers feel like they must take sides
NO Winner... NO Loser ~ Always end the "event" with both of you walking away with your dignity in tact.
Never let the sun set on a disagreement~ Come to terms before your go to bed. Tomorrow is a fresh start.
Pray~ For understanding and guidance, together. If the issue seems too heavy...ask for support before it breaks the back of your marriage.
Always agree in front of the child ~ to the way one parent is disciplining until you are in private. The child learns quickly how to stop listening to the "stupid" parent.
Children are sponges~ They see anger and violence, they view it as a normal way to handle a problem. Personally and socially.
Remember ~ When you marry, you aren't just living with your best friend. You are living with the one you can't live without.
The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.' And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.' And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal,
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve
And he wagged his tail.
Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.'And God said, 'I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.' And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.And they were comforted and God was pleased. Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.' And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.'
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them.
And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased . . .
And Dog was happy. . .And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other....

The thing is there is so much strife right now, with job losses and homes taken away. People don't know when the next meal is and low income housing is so difficult to find or qualify for. What is sad about that is...families hanging on by their fingernails....

It was traumatic for Lynzi and I because it was out in front of our home, but I didn't know him. I tried to console his brother, who is now threatening revenge. You know that eye for an eye feeling when a "bro" is victimized. So anyway.
I heard the complete low-down from my neighbor who saw "Sh..." today. Do you remember the obnoxious alcoholic...
