HAPPY NEW YEAR

See you on January 3rd. 

TAD SHORT

When we total the monetary value of the elements in our bodies and the value of the average person's skin, we arrive at a net worth of $4.50! Let's see, if we take Congress, melt them all down and sell their ingredients, that'll be roughly 525 times $4.50 or..... $2,036.25, just a tad short of the $15 trillion national debt.

TALKING WITH JESUS

About once a week, when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my back yard and having a cold beer along with a quiet personal conversation with Jesus.  This happened to me on Thursday after a particularly difficult day.
   
I said "Jesus, why do I work so hard?"  And I heard the reply: "Men find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family.  You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather."
   
I said: "I thought that money was the root of all evil."  And the reply was:  "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.  Money is a tool; it can be used for good or bad".
   
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question, so I asked it. "Jesus," I said, "What is the meaning of life?  Why am I here?"
   
Jesus replied,"That is a question many men ask.  The answer is in your heart and is different for everyone.  I would love to chat with you some more, Señor, but now, I have to finish your lawn."

SERIOUS REDNECK STORIES

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to
take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that
values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand
before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd
choose a half dozen or so rednecks to back me up.
Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- that's what rednecks are
made of . If you feel the same, pass this on to your redneck friends.
Y'all know who ya are

.
You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to
be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God..'

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about seeing
the 10 Commandments posted in public places. 

You might be a redneck if: You still say ' Christmas'
instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if: You bow your head when 
someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your
hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem

You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces
veterans with great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if: You've never burned an
American flag, nor intend to.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe
and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders and
raised your kids to do the same. 
Some of you are so old you don't have elders to respect.

You might be a redneck if: You'd give your last dollar to
a friend.

You might be a redneck if: You believe in God & Jesus

and believe that others have the right to believe in which

ever God they believe in as long as their God does not

tell them to kill anyone who does not believe the same

as they do!!!!!

If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that
you, like me, have just enough Red Neck in you to have the
same beliefs as those talked about in this email.

God Bless the USA ! 

Keep the fire burning, redneck friend. 

IN GOD WE TRUST!

'TIS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR

MERRY CHRISTMAS

WE'LL BE BACK ON DECEMBER 27TH

MERRY CHRISTMAS

US BANKRUPTCY 101

Welcome to U.S. Bankruptcy Course 101

It is easy to dismiss individual programs that benefit non-citizens until they're put together and this picture emerges.  Someone did a lot of research to put together all of this data.  Often these programs are buried within other programs making them difficult to find. 

A Real Eye Opener 
WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?

Informative, and mind boggling! 

You think the war in Iraq was costing us too much? Read this:

We have been hammered with the propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.

I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.

I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I also have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts...

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF 
THIS COUNTRY.

Are we THAT Stupid? 
YES, FOR LETTING THOSE IN THE U.S. CONGRESS GET AWAY WITH LETTING THIS HAPPEN YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!! 

PEARL HARBOR: UNKNOWN HISTORY

Tour boats ferry people out to the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii every thirty minutes. We just missed a ferry and had to wait thirty minutes.. I went into a small gift shop to kill time. In the gift shop, I purchased a small book entitled, "Reflections on Pearl Harbor " by Admiral Chester Nimitz. 

Sunday, December 7th, 1941--Admiral Chester Nimitz was attending a concert in Washington D.C. He was paged and told there was a phone call for him. When he answered the phone, it was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the phone. He told Admiral Nimitz that he (Nimitz) would now be the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. 

Admiral Nimitz flew to Hawaii to assume command of the Pacific Fleet. He landed at Pearl Harbor on Christmas Eve, 1941. There was such a spirit of despair, dejection and defeat--you would have thought the Japanese had already won the war. On Christmas Day, 1941, Adm. Nimitz was given a boat tour of the destruction wrought on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese.. Big sunken battleships and navy vessels cluttered the waters every where you looked. 

As the tour boat returned to dock, the young helmsman of the boat asked, "Well Admiral, what do you think after seeing all this destruction?" Admiral Nimitz's reply shocked everyone within the sound of his voice. Admiral Nimitz said, "The Japanese made three of the biggest mistakes an attack force could ever make, or God was taking care of America . Which do you think it was?"

Shocked and surprised, the young helmsman asked, "What do mean by saying the Japanese made the three biggest mistakes an attack force ever made?" Nimitz explained: 

Mistake number one : the Japanese attacked on Sunday morning. Nine out of every ten crewmen of those ships were ashore on leave. If those same ships had been lured to sea and been sunk--we would have lost 38,000 men instead of 3,800. 

Mistake number two : when the Japanese saw all those battleships lined in a row, they got so carried away sinking those battleships, they never once bombed our dry docks opposite those ships. If they had destroyed our dry docks, we would have had to tow every one of those ships to America to be repaired. As it is now, the ships are in shallow water and can be raised. One tug can pull them over to the dry docks, and we can have them repaired and at sea by the time we could have towed them to America . And I already have crews ashore anxious to man those ships. 

Mistake number three : every drop of fuel in the Pacific theater of war is in top of the ground storage tanks five miles away over that hill. One attack plane could have strafed those tanks and destroyed our fuel supply. That's why I say the Japanese made three of the biggest mistakes an attack force could make or God was taking care of America. 

I've never forgotten what I read in that little book. It is still an inspiration as I reflect upon it. In jest, I might suggest that because Admiral Nimitz was a Texan, born and raised in Fredricksburg , Texas --he was a born optimist. But anyway you look at it--Admiral Nimitz was able to see a silver lining in a situation and circumstance where everyone else saw only despair and defeatism. 

President Roosevelt had chosen the right man for the right job. We desperately needed a leader that could see silver linings in the midst of the clouds of dejection, despair and defeat.

There is a reason that our national motto is, IN GOD WE TRUST .
