This is pretty much a meat and potatoes
“It’s Saturday.” ItchieBitchie (i.e. who is either from Omaha or Saginaw) says—There
is soooo much stuff out there floating around that’s just rumor (i.e. fake
information). How do you find out what
is actually correct? It seems like everyone is swinging for the fences! Oh,
it’s happening sweetheart!
IckieVickie
(i.e. who is practically magical) says—No matter how great you think you are,
many don’t really care! Ouchy ouchy!
Yabut, IckieVickie, it’s how you feel internally about what you do or did that
really makes a person feel good; it’s suppose tooooo anyway! It appears the great folks are willing to
give to others without a motive to get anything in return. It appears that it is simply an act of
serving others. Jesus said—We must
consider others more important than ourselves. Wow! Jesus, that’s hard to do
man! GeorgeTheCrook says—Here is something that if done sincerely and not for
self-glorification can be very rewarding—Ask folks how can I help them? But if
we do it for show and praise, we are missing it folks. LuckieEddie says--The character of the worldly
gods, that folks make, reflect the character of those who make them.
TomTerrific says—Now, isn’t that right?
An ornery, opinionated, crotchety old Dutchman once
said--Things change folks! I think
soooooo folks. We were invited to a dinner party with some long-time friends
(i.e. just plain good folks). ANYWAY,
one couple who have a lake home up-north MN told us that there are way less
water skiers than there used to be; more just tube. Also, watching the Phoenix Open, the
announces said there are a lot less golfers than there used to be; it takes
toooo long and costs toooo much. Also, I
read in the paper soooo it must be right—There seems to be a culture shift with
the younger generation coming of age.
They don’t watch as much NFL which is a 3 hour+ game that is interrupted
25 times with a combined 41 minutes of commercials (i.e. would maybe rather
watch countless on demand commercial-free shows on Netfilx). Also, medical advances are really something;
they have changed alright (e.g. The Ebers Papyrus is one of
the oldest medical books in the world, dating from about 1500 B.C.. To cure
baldness the physicians of Egypt applied a mixture of six fats, from the horse,
the hippopotamus, the crocodile, the cat, the goat, and the snake). For
thousands of years, people believed something held the earth up. Hindus
believed huge elephants did it. The Greeks believed Atlas did it. The Egyptians
believed five columns held the earth up. Things change folks. That’s nutten new. Isn’t that right!
One of the qualities of Abraham Lincoln (i.e. I’m a big fan
of old Abe) that most deeply impressed his contemporaries was his
tenderheartedness. One of Lincoln’s associates said of him, “No man clothed
with such vast power ever wielded it more tenderly and forbearingly.” That is
quite a testimony folks. That description fits someone else I can think of even
better than Abraham Lincoln, doesn’t it (i.e. my opinion)? CadillacJack (i.e. a fan favorite) says—The
spirit of “giving it away keeps it.” Maybe that attitude just creates “another
day in the park!”
I read while eating my oatmeal with a half a banana on
it—What causes conflicts with each other is when folks want something but don’t
get it. Ouchy ouchy! I also read this--Jesus didn’t have a problem with
“sinners.” The only people Jesus had problems with were those who believed they weren’t sinners! Oooooh! MissPerfect
asks--Have you ever malfunctioned?
I have a friend who suffers from severe depression. It’s a very difficult disease to handle. I
talked to him and he says he has no hope.
My Friend, try to have hope (i.e. there is no medicine like hope, no incentive
sooo great, no tonic sooo powerful as the expectation of something better
tomorrow). Arlene’s Alzheimer’s disease
doesn’t give her much hope in getting better.
We talk about how some day she will be in heaven and everything will be
perfect. We are Christians and this is
what we believe. If you don’t believe in
God and don’t believe in heaven, well, then what is your hope? The black slaves
of early America had no hope to get out of their situation soooo their only
hope was life after death. When he was
playing for the Florida Gators, Tim Tebow decided to write Bible verses on his
eye blacks, and one Saturday he chose John 3:16. It was a
televised game, and Tebow later learned 94 million people googled
“John 3:16” during the game. How do 94 million people not know
John 3:16?
LoggerheadBill says—I don’t make mistakes but just get misinformation
(i.e. really folks, it’s not the case but he just thinks that). LoggerheadBill is getting older but is still
a kid in his mind The question is, will
he ever grow up? C’mon on man, you are
50 years old. Like the old cliché
says—As I get older, I become less smart and my parents get smarter! JoeBlow
says—As I get older, I’m just not sure about a lot of stuff. I’m just not sure anymore (i.e. I seem to be
confused). Some of my old thinking
leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Isn’t that right.
I tell you what folk; you deserve a break. BUT it seems like we always
don’t get the break we want. JoeBlow says--The ball doesn't seem to bounce the same for everyone. That can
maybe ‘cause we have a wrangle. Soooo we
need to improvise (i.e. roll with the punch).
I think I’m pretty easy to please but probably am not as easy as I think
(i.e. I think I made a great observation of myself). A friend called me the
other day and we talked about helping others.
He said that their small group at church talk a lot about helping
others. He said at the group—We seem to
talk a lot about it but we don’t do much!
Ouchy ouchy! My mentor would say to me—erv, it’s never as good as it
looks and never as bad as it looks.
Maybe, just maybe, we aren’t as good as we think we are and maybe not as
bad as we think we are. I think sooooo
folks but I don’t know what’s right; I’m just a little old farm boy from a mile
and fourth south of Roseland, MN. Burton,
a ISU basketball player said this in the paper soooo it must be
right—Headline—ISU’s Burton: Words must be replaced with action. LuckieEddie says—Words are cheap but it takes
money to buy whiskey! Or as Benjamin Franklin said--Well done is better than well said. Isn’t that right! BigBeefJoe says--Treat
the most important, like it’s the most important. Treat the rest, like
it’s just the rest. Isn’t that right!
KathyNewspaper doesn’t always tell it like it is but tells
it how she likes it or how she wants it to be (i.e. she slants it from her
mentality). KathyNewspaper could not have been a prophet years ago. No no, no way. During Bible times, nobody wanted to be a
prophet. The law in Israel was that a prophet of God had to be correct 100
percent of the time. If you were wrong just once, then you were considered a
false prophet and would have been put to death. A prophet better be right! I
don’t think KathyNewspaper would have lived to a very old age! Ouchy ouchy!
Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:

MyFriendJean says—The difference between stumbling blocks
and stepping stones is the way a man uses them.
P.S. From the mouth of babes—We were visiting Chet, Jessica,
Charlie and Rookie last weekend. Chet
told me that during the week, just out of the blue one evening, Charlie, our 7
year old granddaughter, asks him—Dad, have they found a cure for Alzheimer’s—no,
they haven’t but are trying real hard—I hope they do soon soooo grandma can get
better. Touching!I
