Pawtucket, administrators, and everyone who adds their portion to this place. Thankyouverymuch. Greasespot Cafe has been a lifechanging place. Sincerely appreciated. Kit Sober Reno NV

Received this in email today and thought it was a nice after-Easter word:

Pastor's Business Card A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote , "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

Spring is springing at Grouse Mountain Canada. The bears are up and about playing. Wavelit.com There have been a lot of changes to the wavelit.com website since Greasy Tech first posted this link. Click on "Wildlife" button for the Africam, Grizzly Bears, and Hummingbirds. There is a notice that there will soon be an eaglecam in place as well.

When my brother Pete was in the Peace Corps (circa 1964-67???) he went to Uruguay, and when he came back he brought some of those things for us, including a special bombilla of silver. He had matte with the gauchos on the pampas. He loved it, but had to quit it because the matte is hi caffeine and made his hands shake. The way they "drank" it was to heap matte and sugar in there and keep adding matte, sugar and hot water. Some of his friends came over from Argentina and stayed at our folks' house. Pete and his friends would stay up late playing cards, laughing, and drinking their matte. p.s. you also need a pancho for the picture. The matte gourd is also like a handwarmer when sitting around with your friends having a good time. Nice memories. Thanks. (Pete wasn't the old guy he is today, at that time he was a young twenty-something who taught the people to swim in the lake they had there. He taught swimming for the Red Cross in Brazil afterwards.) So my word of caution -- the caffeine in matte is just as nice and socially endearing and jittery as coffee.

I go with the school that says, Jesus Christ is the whole alphabet -- A to Z. No word can be formed without Him. That we write and speak is proof He is risen indeed.

Received in an email today, and hope you have a love-ly Easter: (He a rose)

Received this in email today, and it reminded me of some thoughts I would enjoy in twi times (and then get reamed for not being serious enough): I believe that Jesus laughed on the cross, and He definitely knew good humor ("Have you caught anything?" is an all-time favorite.This email got me thinking of what a happy place heaven is. Not just the joy of the Lord and singing praises unto him, but having a nice time doing it.!!!!! In this place where there will be no tears, there will be happiness. And when someone makes some good humor (the kind with no bitterness or meanneass attached), heaven comes down to earth.

My mom, the mother of me and my precious 3 siblings, used to say, I have no favorites, I love you all. And "Whoever needs the shoes, gets them." Our love is diferent for each object. 1. The Lord Jesus Christ has my wholehearted allegience. 2. The Lord God ALmightty is above all and through all and in us all. He is so much of everything. Fred has a placque on the wall that says, "this place would collapse without me." That's God for you. My precious brothers and sister, and now the nephews, too, are without a doubt the most awesome kids in the world, and I love them dearly. And my husband, my own kids and their families. . . And my friends and other loved ones. My boss and fellow laborers. And Father Aspassa who I hadn't seen in years, but came to a church function tonight. . . Each one is without equal and unequivically loved and held in high regard. I never put people on a scale of 1 to 10, but just am so thankful for the ability to love (see #1 and #2, above).

Ductape. I wouldn't want anyone to leave, and I'm sorry when anyone leaves. (I wish lcm would stick around, learn to repent and have a great time.) I think this is a great place, and part of that greatness is because Pawtucket allows everyone to speak their piece. Hope you stay. Any way.

A good pun is its own reword.

Going to heaven: a most important question This question was most important before I took (hook line and sinker) PFAl et al and still is. After twi indoctrination I was told I had a definitive answer, and easily condemned those who did not agree with the twi doctrine. Now the question is still important, to me, even more so, actually; however, now I look to Holy Spirit for the answer. I think, now, that following the Lord (Who is the Way the Truth and the Life) is still the way to heaven, but I don't believe that debating whether He is "God" or the "Son of God" (as though these two words are worthy of tooth-and-nail fighting) are heaven-or-hell distinctions. I would go with the determination is whether or not we follow Him, walking in His footsteps, which lead to heaven.

I wish Father Dan were still alive. I'd love to tell him this one. (He was in the category of Most Favorite Priest.)

Fred rented it to watch together at home. What an inspiration. (and amen to "humbling" -- before God and men) Also the dvd has some great stuff, including the original Glide Memorial Chorus and the real Chris Gardner.

Socks, I was going to post something, but your song leaves me without words. Thank you for the kindness you have brought (and continue to bring) into the world. Happy Anniversary to you and Mrs. Socks. From my viewpoint, you both are right next to the Lord. Thanks, again,

As long as someone is alive, there is hope. Hope for repentance. Hope for a life with the Lord.

They might not use the term, but they know the concept well. _____ Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin! _____ Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece."

Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not li ke our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk. _____ And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,"Bless her heart" ... and go your own way. _____ To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart! _____ And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, ... bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language! _____ And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads "I ain't from the South, but I got here as fast as I could." Now...... Shugah, this is for those who was raised in the South or wish they had been! If you're a Northern transplant, Bless your little heart, fake it. We know you got here as fast as you could.

Thanks so much Dmiller. There is a great line about SPAGHETTI BOLOGNAISE in "The Frequency," which is a favorite movie of ours, and I didn't know what it was. Thanks, again. I looked up and found a recipe with pictures and stuff, and this is what my mom made so nicely without anything but kindness for her family. (She had grown up with some Italians and her spaghetti was especially terrific.)

Things aren't funny to me that hurt people. Jesus Christ did not make fun of in a hurtful way of anyone, and He was the funniest of all ("have you caught anything?"). When Jesus Christ laughed at someone, it was the devil laughed at, not God's people (Psalm 58:9). Al Queada and others work to destroy Christians. and I don't want to be counted in their camp when I see the Lord. We will be held accountable for what we laugh at as well as for all the other things we do and say. There is always a fear of God before my eyes.

Drag race from the stoplight. A long while ago I read a story about a successful dad (driving a nice car like a BMW or something) respond to his son who asked him why he let a guy in a ratty old car beat him away from the stop light, and the successful dad said, "It might make his day. He could feel a little more like a winner. Maybe feel better about his car. Son, most people have a tough time in life and anything I can do to make it easier for them, I do." I thought that was pretty a good deal. I guess it's not such a big thing any more, but when I was younger (much) and had some pretty snazzy cars along the way, I would pretty much always let the kid or the man with his young son in a not so classy car speed on ahead of me. To get an idea of my change in cars since my more racier days, the last time Holy Spirit and I had a talk about my traffic tickets, He said "No more tickets." And what I have now is the best way he could ensure such a thing. I recently had a cement truck let me "dart" in front of him and that really made my day. It is hard for me nowadays to earn a speeding ticket in a school zone. When I told Holy Spirit for my next car I wanted a Humvee, He said, "that will pretty much guarantee you'll keep this one." But this is what this thread reminded me of: How nice it is to be able to do nice things for people on the roadways of life.

I don't understand what's with all this hateful stuff to Chuck Norris? ? ? Chuck Norris, along with his family are Christians who do their best to live an upright Christian life. Chuck Norris actually is a humble Christian man who is doing his utmost to live as a Christian should: morally, ethically and socially. He and his lovely wife currently devote time and resources to show parents and school systems how to incorporate Biblical truths into educational curriculum within the constraints of "separation of church and state." (In my opinion this thread is in very poor taste and is a taste of why so many good people no longer freely post at Greasespot Cafe.)
