I guess the days of Mayberry are gone in in N C I was kinda hoping Aunt Bee would bring me fried chicken dinner with some of that M-MMMM apple pie of her's, ifin I ever spent the night in jail there.

I'll go with Animal House what a party!! We had all the gang the Otto's the Boon's the Bluto's theNeidermeyer's we even had a "Dean" Don who wanted to ruin the fun.

Hey you! Has it occured to you he might just be after the "rest" of your 136 tomato plants? Take care.......

Will there be an immunity idol on the island?

Oak Craig did a long ranting at a Word in Business Meeting about the tape. As I remember it would be quicker to list the things he liked about it. I always felt sorry for her she deserved better than that. Written in the Stars produced 1983 on her new Victory records label included the following: Written in the Stars He knew the Author Well Follow your Heart Supernatural You Just like my Daddy Bright and Morning Star ( not the PDSTRO Version) Colorado Mountain Sky I will Lead Sail Away Just One moment /Reprise Interestingly enough the Way Bookstore sold these tapes at least till the point after Craig was done with it, after that it became the only tape I think to hold the status of a money back item in Way history. The memo went out that everyone should mail them back for a full refund. I don't think most did. I still have one. I always thought maybe it was the fact that she produced it away from the Way copyrights that started the mess. Good for her! Some things he hated were the cover shot of her riding a white horse through the stars as that was Jesus' job not hers. The title!! everyone knows that it was Witnessed in the Stars (Bullinger) allthough I have a several tapes of VP saying the same thing at times. Follow your heart the song- we follow the Word..... the song He knew the Author Well- egotisticical claim.... Well you get the idea.....

Yeah Cool These days he is singing another Beatles tune.... I should have known better with a girl like you....

Happy Birthday Paul! 64 Today http://www.aarpmagazine.org/entertainment/my_birthday.html When I'm sixty-four http://www.smickandsmodoo.com/lyrics/sixty4.htm Midi When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now, Will you still be sending me a Valentine,birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out 'till quarter to three,would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four? Hmm------mmm---mmmh. You'll be older, too.Aaah, and if you say the word, I could stay with you. I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your lights have gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday mornings, go for a ride. Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four? Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight,if it's not too dear. We shall scrimp and save. Ah, grandchildren on your knee, Vera, Chuck, and Dave. Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating point of view. Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting away. Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more. Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four? John Lennon/Paul McCartney

You are correct John.

After last weekend my official color is red that would make me Reddove

Exie is right Abby, the other dogs will adjust better if they can see that he has died then they know what happened and won't be waiting for him to return. I assume it it too late maybe to let them see him, maybe the grave would work.

"A Whiter Shade of Pale". Hey I'm working on the tan..... that was mean Cool. Lets see perhaps the clue lies in this line.... "The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away" Actually Michael G used to play that record at the western house often, since we were there together alot of the time and it was usually my audio equipment that was getting a workout I would guess that is why. So does this mean you owe me now? and I can crash the girls party without the dress?

For Chance and Scrappy: The Journey When you bring a pet into your life, you begin a journey. A journey that will bring you more love and devotion than you have ever known, yet will also test your strength and courage. If you allow, the journey will teach you many things, about life, about yourself, and most of all, about love. You will come away changed forever, for one soul cannot touch another without leaving its mark. Along the way, you will learn much about savoring life's simple pleasures -- jumping in leaves, snoozing in the sun, the joys of puddles, and even the satisfaction of a good scratch behind the ears. If you spend much time outside, you will be taught how to truly experience every element, for no rock, leaf, or log will go unexamined, no rustling bush will be overlooked, and even the very air will be inhaled, pondered, and noted as being full of valuable information. Your pace may be slower, except when heading home to the food dish, but you will become a better naturalist, having been taught by an expert in the field. Too many times we hike on automatic pilot, our goal being to complete the trail rather than enjoy the journey. We miss the details: the colorful mushrooms on the rotting log, the honeycomb in the old maple snag, the hawk feather caught on a twig. Once we walk as a dog does, we discover a whole new world. We stop; we browse the landscape, we kick over leaves, peek in tree holes, look up, down, all around. And we learn what any dog knows that nature has created a marvelously complex world that is full of surprises, that each cycle of the seasons bring ever changing wonders, each day an essence all its own. Even from indoors you will find yourself more attuned to the world around you. You will find yourself watching: summer insects collecting on a screen; 0 h, and how bizarre they are; how many kinds there are or noting the flick and flash of fireflies through the dark. You will stop to observe the swirling dance of windblown leaves, or sniff the air after a rain. It does not matter that there is no objective in this; the point is in the doing, in not letting life's most important details slip by. You will find yourself doing silly things that your pet-less friends might not understand: spending thirty minutes in the grocery aisle looking for the cat food brand your feline must have, buying dog birthday treats, or driving around the block an extra time because your pet enjoys the ride. You will roll in the snow, wrestle with chewie toys, bounce little rubber balls till your eyes cross, and even run around the house trailing your bathrobe tie with a cat in hot pursuit, all in the name of love. Your house will become muddier and hairier. You will wear less dark clothing and buy more lint rollers. You may find dog biscuits in your pocket or purse, and feel the need to explain that an old plastic shopping bag adorns your living room rug because your cat loves the crinkly sound. You will learn the true measure of love. The steadfast, undying kind that says, "It doesn't matter where we are or what we do, or how life treats us as long as we are together." Respect this always. It is the most precious gift any living soul can give another. You will not find it often among the human race. And you will learn humility. The look in my dog's eyes often made me feel ashamed. Such joy and love at my presence. She saw not some flawed human who could be cross and stubborn, moody or rude, but only her wonderful companion. Or maybe she saw those things and dismissed them as mere human foibles, not worth considering, and so chose to love me anyway. If you pay attention and learn well, when the journey is done, you will be not just a better person, but the person your pet always knew you to be. The one they were proud to call beloved friend. I must caution you that this journey is not without pain. Like all paths of true love, the pain is part of loving. For as surely as the sun sets, one day your dear animal companion will follow a trail you cannot yet go down. And you will have to find the strength and love to let them go. A pet's time on earth is far too short, especially for those that love them. We borrow them, really, just for a while, and during these brief years they are generous enough to give us all their love, every inch of their spirit and heart, until one day there is nothing left. The cat that only yesterday was a kitten is all too soon old and frail and sleeping in the sun. The young pup of boundless energy now wakes up stiff and lame, the muzzle gone to gray. Deep down we somehow always knew that this journey would end. We knew that if we gave our hearts they would be broken. But give them we must for it is all they ask in return. When the time comes, and the road curves ahead to a place we cannot see, we give one final gift and let them run on ahead, young and whole once more. "God speed, good friend," we say, until our journey comes full circle and our paths cross again.

When Dad died, we asked that a dove be inscribed on his gravestone at Calverton National Cemetary. Denied. But they did allow "Awaiting the Return". So we have that, and no symbol. No Doves? OOOO them's fighting words Old Man Just give me their names and I'll leave a little symbol of my own on their family's markers. I'm sure it won't be approved either.

Mark it was just a simple question for discussion, I'll decline your offer for spoon feeding thanks anyway. WW and I reached the same conclusion-inconclusive, for the same reasons. I don't read anywhere that it said if you break the vow and the hair grows back that it returns to the prior conditions. I think it is an assumption on your part. I still see no point for him to pray for something that he already had it makes no sense. Perhaps you will reconsider WW post.

Top You can suspend the runs to the mailbox for the rest of the week... since you'll be getting your exercise dusting!!!! But next week it's back to work LOL

Just wondering why you thought that he regained his strength before he prayed in vs28 I don"t think that he did hense the "just this once" record. It appears to me that he got one last shot so to speak thats all when he prayed. Your right he was blind then again following your logic he could believe for sight too I suppose. So why did he hang around if he was at full strength?

David I don't think you will as you noted find anything about this subject in that tape set likewise in any of the SNS or TOM I checked the tape logs and VPW never taught on the verse in Judges. I don't recall him ever teaching this subject only Craig. Mark if Samson had his strength back then what would be the purpose for asking God for something that he already had in vs 28 where he asked just once for strength? And why would he be hanging around anyway why not just leave if he could break the restraints?

It would be a little hard for him to beat the snot out of any one bound with fetters of brass not to mention that he had lost his strength according to the record. Vs 28 seems to support this as he prayed for strength only this once. 16:17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. 16:18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. 16:19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. 16:20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him. 16:21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. 16:22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. 16:24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us. 16:25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars. 16:26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them. 16:27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport. 16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

WW Craig did a two tape Corps teaching set on Samson in the early 80s where he taught on this.

Don't know if it true or not but heard it has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA as the author. Perhaps there is hope......

Just received this today thought I'd pass it on: "We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and others. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights." ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care. ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair. ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure. ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! And lastly... ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!! I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish.

Here Here EBay

What a great idea!!!! Hey let me spit into that microphone and do the dove rap for you ........Oh you said music didn't you, Sorry, Never Mind, Carry On :blink: :blink: P.S. Really it is a great idea........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY click
