Exponentially Speaking...

"Did You Know"?
I thought I'd try this again now that I've got a new hosting company.

More about that later...

Daniel 12:4
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Kinda makes you go, Hmm.

Anyone else see the irony? :)

Get Involved

Listen as one of our local (Tulsa) talk radio show hosts interviews an Oklahoma State representative about the SPP (The Security and Prosperity Act of North America), and the proposed NAFTA Super Corridor that our government is planning on building right through the heartland,(Oklahoma is in its path) along with all of it's Orwellian-style changes to our nation's laws.

Folks, it's no longer the realm of the conspiracy nut - it's out in the open, at least here locally. But you still won't hear very much about it on the national news, if at all. This is why it's so important to help spread the word in your own locales, because this will effect all states, not just the ones the corridor is passing through. Educate yourselves before it's too late.

I could write volumes on this but I won't.

Bottom line: This is serious and it's time to start sounding the alarm!! And you can do that by telling others, and by calling your own elected representatives and telling them this is not in the best interests of our national sovereignty. Pretending this issue doesn't exist won't make it go away.



It's the apathy of the masses that will be the destruction
of us all. Those who choose to be willfully ignorant, will
be the downfall of the USA .

Little House

For a while now we've been adding to my daughter's DVD collection of "The Little House on the Prairie" T.V. series. She has nearly all of the seasons now and absolutely loves them, which makes us very happy. It's practically all she watches and we are thrilled that she is so attracted to a show that is so wholesome, especially after having been exposed to some of today's shows.

It's a show that I grew up with and I can remember watching it religiously every week, not missing any episodes if I could help it. Some good memories there.

After having watched several episodes together with our daughter, I had almost forgotten (Admittedly when I sat down to watch the series for the first time in many years, I was anticipating that it might be a bit slow for me. But after several minutes had gone by, I was in love with it all over again and realized its appeal is timeless -- good writing, acting, and morals to the stories.) how good the series actually was. It had a superb cast of actors who, in my opinion, were top notch. One that stands out in my mind is the actress who plays Mrs. Olsen. She plays the part so naturally that it's hard for me to imagine it's only acting, the same goes for her character's daughter, Nellie.

And of course Michael Landon (Charles Ingalls in the series) was a great actor too, without whose contribution (including director) the series just wouldn't have been the same.

If you've got children and have been wondering about what to get them, why not try the "Little House on the Prairie" DVD series? I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Purrrrr

Now is this a great picture or what? Nothing like that wild look in the eyes of those big cats - so graceful, so powerful, and yet so deadly if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This just in....

Nothing original today 'cause I've got the krud and don't feel well, so this will have to do. :(

KIDS IN CHURCH
3-year-old Reese:
"Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied,
"That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
and I wanted to stay with you guys."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One particular four-year-old prayed,
"And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they
were on the way to church service,
"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are sleeping."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3.
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
"If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
"Ryan, you be Jesus!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
"Did God throw him back down?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,
"Would you like to say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And if you don't send this to at least 8 people ----- who cares?!
Peace, love and happiness

The Visitation

Looking for a great flick to rent for this weekend? Try "The Visitation", by author Frank Peretti.


We thought it was a really good film; it's a bit like some of the supernatural flicks you've probably seen: "Amityville", "The Exorcist", etc. But this one has a decidedly Christian worldview - not surprising since Peretti is a Christian author. The film, whether the average moviegoer realizes it or not, deals with spiritual warfare.

One of the leading characters, a Pentecostal preacher played by Randy Travis, realizes early on that there's something just not right with the mysterious stranger who's just blown into town claiming to be a faith healer. As the story plays out, a confrontation between the two is inevitable.

You'll have to see the rest for yourself.

Here's the official synopsis:

The Chaperone

I need to hire this little guy for when my daughter comes of age!

the trunk monkey

FYI

Something you should see.

My Super Bowl Pics

During our viewing of Super Bowl 41, I thought I'd snap some pics of my daughter unaware. Well, not quite unaware as you can tell.

Yes, I snapped some pics of my wife, too. But she'd kill me if I posted them. And I want to live a while longer.

This one is entitled "Annoyed"-- because that's what she was when she first realized she was on camera, as you can see.

I call this one "Indecision" -- because she's got that look that says, "Okay, I'm not sure if I like this or not".

And last but not least I'm calling this one "Surrender"-- for obvious reasons.

My Continuing Dental Quagmire

Well, that makes two times now that my temporary crown has fallen out while I await my permanent one. Two times!!! And it came out both times while eating only cheese & crackers. Cheese & crackers!! What's so sticky about cheese & crackers? Can anyone say, "not enough cement"?

Now I have to go through the whole weekend unable to enjoy a meal without contorting my tongue in such a way as to keep the food on one side. Talk about oral gymnastics!

I don't know, I'm thinking after this work is over it's time to find a new dentist. There's also been the issue of pain associated with the temps. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night hurting so badly I have to dope-up on Ibuprophen in order to get back to sleep. And yes, the temporary crowns have been checked for proper clearance, so that's not the problem. My dentist told me there may be a chance that the teeth in question are abscessed, which, of course, means a root canal. Arrgh!

My dental saga continues...

Why I don't exercise
