			<description><![CDATA[5 When some were speaking about the temple how it was adorned with <a href='http://beautiful.wordblogs.net/'>beautiful</a> stones and gifts dedicated to God he said. 6‘As for these <a href='http://things.musicalblogs.com/'>things</a> that you see the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.’
7 They asked him. ‘Teacher when will this be and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?’ 8And he said. ‘Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say. “I am he!”* and. “The time is near!”* Do not go after them.
9 ‘When you hear of wars and insurrections do not be terrified; for these things must take place first but the end will not follow immediately.’ 10Then he said to them. ‘Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom; 11there will be great earthquakes and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.
12 ‘But before all this occurs they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. 13This will <a href='http://give.wordblogs.net/'>give</a> you an opportunity to testify. 14So make up your minds not to prepare your defence in advance; 15for I will give you words* and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. 16You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17You will be hated by all because of my name. 18But not a hair of your head will perish. 19By your endurance you will gain your souls.
Jesus is in the Temple during this time probably from the opening of chapter 20 in the gospel of Luke. In the first part of this chapter (21:1-4). Jesus is watching people &#8212; rich people &#8212; put their money in the collection vessels in the Temple. These collection vessels were 13 chests shaped like inverted trumpets where rich and poor male and female deposited their offerings as they came for Temple worship and ceremony. This is the occasion for the story of the widow&#8217; mite &#8212; the poor widow who put in two small copper coins. Jesus said that she put in more than all of the rich people because they gave out of their abundance but she gave all she had to live on.
That&#8217;s the scene in the Temple in Jerusalem as Jesus and the disciples and others were standing and watching all the activity in the Temple compound. But to get an idea of the splendor of the Temple you need to walk with me away from the Court of the Women the smallest eastern court. We will walk down a bank of 22 marble steps down into the Court of the Gentiles. If we look back over our shoulders as we leave the Court of the Women we will read the signs that warn non-Jews not to venture any further into the Temple or face death. They were serious about preserving the ceremonial purity of the Temple building.
As we descend into the Court of the Gentiles we have our choice of gates from which we can exit. We cross through the Royal Porch with its 4-rows deep of pure white marble Corinthian columns each 40&#8242; feet tall &#8212; 162 columns in all in this porch alone. We come to Solomon&#8217;s Colonade the eastern porch and we head for the gate which is really a massive entrance. We choose the eastern gate the gate that faces the <a href='http://rising.geminiblogs.com/'>rising</a> sun. This is the gate through which the Messiah will come when he comes to save Israel. This gate is called Beautiful and it is just that. Plates of solid gold face the eastern gate so that when the sun rises in the east the light of the sun is brilliantly reflected back into the Kidron Valley below making it appear that the sun is rising in the west at the same time. Travelers approaching Jerusalem see the Temple from a distance and mistake it for a snow-covered mountain it is so dazzlingly bright and massive.
It is this Temple Jesus and the disciples are standing in. This temple built by Herod the Great. Rome&#8217;s puppet king who began the restoration and expansion of the Temple in 19 AD and would not live to see it&#8217;s completion in 64 AD. Six years after the magnificent structure is finished with its tons of gold its massive entrances its wide porticos and its immense cost the Temple will be torn down to its foundations by the legions of Rome. No stone left standing sacked of sacred treasure and leveled to the ground. Today all that is left of Herod&#8217;s Temple is the western retaining wall known as the Wailing Wall. As precious as the Wailing Wall is the Temple was a thousand times more glorious.
To get some idea of the magnitude of loss it would be as if the United States Capitol were completely destroyed leaving only the retaining wall around the base. Or if the White House were leveled to the ground leaving only the foundation. The loss of the Temple was incalculable and the thought of its loss was unspeakable in the first century.
series of books with over 10-million sold is 21st century evidence that we are as concerned and as curious about what the future will hold as those in Jesus&#8217; day. If you can remember our horror at the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 and the deaths of over 3,000 of our fellow citizens you can imagine the concern for the future of first century Jerusalem.
 Many then felt as many do today that this age is hopelessly bad and unredeemable. God is surely going to destroy this world they thought. That destruction will usher in the age to come or what we would now call the Kingdom of God. But in between this age and the age to come was the day of the Lord. Jews understood the day of the Lord to be a time of judgment of refining through fire of purification of this world. Non-Jews those not God&#8217;s people would be judged and destroyed. Unrighteous Jews would be judged and punished; only righteous Jews would survive this terrible appearing of God.
Verse 12 is very important &#8212; ‘But before all this occurs they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.&#8217;
So it&#8217;s not just false prophets war and disaster. We the followers of Jesus will be persecuted. Now this is the part not many books are written about. This is not the attractive part of the day of the Lord. This is not what we want to hear and it was certainly not what Jesus&#8217; followers wanted to hear either. That&#8217;s why the disciples were in keeping a low profile in a room in Jerusalem before Pentecost.
Luke who wrote this gospel also wrote the <a href='http://book.enhancementblogs.com/'>book</a> of Acts. Luke opens Acts chapter 4 with the <a href='http://account.passwordblogs.com/'>account</a> of Peter and John&#8217;s arrest. And so it begins. Christians arrested persecuted handed over to religious leaders brought before kings and governors. Jesus goes on to say that we will be betrayed by relatives friends parents and siblings and some will be put to death.
Oh wait. That&#8217;s exactly what happened to Jesus. Betrayed by one of his own arrested tortured ridiculed tried by religious leaders brought before the governor. Killed by the government of Rome. So now the term &#8220;follower of Jesus&#8221; takes on new meaning. We are following him &#8212; through persecution accusation ridicule and death.
so overwhelming that no rebuttal is possible. Which doesn&#8217;t mean they won&#8217;t kill us but it does mean that they will do so knowing the truth. Knowing the irrefutable truth of God. Acting out their hate their arrogance their own will in spite of knowing and hearing and seeing the truth of God standing before them. But they did that to Jesus too. And Pilate could only ask Jesus. 
Pilate knew he was face-to-face with the truth. Pilate knew that what he heard was true. Pilate realized that Jesus was not a criminal. Pilate had the opportunity to embrace the truth to respond to Jesus to love God. But in the face of overwhelming words-and-wisdom. Pilate could only resort to a weak question. &#8220;What is truth?&#8221;
But here is our assurance. Jesus says not a hair of your head will perish. Now usually we think that phrase means a person will survive live come through. But Jesus has just said that many will be put to death. So what does he mean here? Well verse 19 holds the clue &#8212; 
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth <a href='http://holding.wordblogs.net/'>holding</a> back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2Then I saw another angel coming up from the east having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3&#8243;Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.&#8221; 4Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
9After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count from <a href='http://every.wordblogs.net/'>every</a> nation tribe people and language standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10And they cried out in a loud voice:&#8220;Salvation belongs to our God,who sits on the throne,and to the Lamb.&#8221; 11All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God. 12saying:&#8220;Amen!Praise and gloryand wisdom and thanks and honorand power and strengthbe to our God for ever and ever. Amen!&#8221;
And he said. &#8220;These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15Therefore,&#8220;they are before the throne of Godand serve him day and night in his temple;and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.16Never again will they hunger;never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them,nor any scorching heat.17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.&#8221;
The future whatever it holds will be our opportunity to testify. To be a witness to what our eyes have seen our ears have heard and our hands have touched &#8212; that we proclaim.
In the ancient Celtic Christian world there were three types of martyrs. Because Christianity came to Ireland without bloodshed there were no red martyrs &#8212; those who gave their lives for Christ &#8212; at least initially. The Irish Christians designated other acts as acts of witness or martyrdom. The green martyrs were those who gave up friends family and their community to live in the hills or caves as hermits. The white martyrs were those who left friends family community. 
their country setting sail in tiny boats called coracles. Sailing into the white morning light these martyrs left everything familiar for their witness. St. Columba who founded the abbey at Iona was a white martyr. Later the red martyrs would also be added to the list as those who gave their very lives for the cause of Christ.
Jesus said the events of the future will be our opportunity to testify. But what about now? What about here? What do we have to tell or need to tell? And are we so dependent upon the presence of Christ in our lives that we are confident that Jesus himself will give us the words-and-wisdom that cannot be refuted.
We like the martyrs of the first century <a href='http://roman.funnyblogs.net/'>Roman</a> empire of whom John writes in Revelation have something to tell that is at odds with this world and its system. That is why many will hate us persecute us arrest us ridicule us turn against us and even kill us. There are systems of power and greed and corruption and consumerism in this world that are at odds with the world to come &#8212; the kingdom of God. While it is not our intention to create enemies cause conflict arouse suspicion or incite reaction simply by living Kingdom lives &#8212; following Jesus &#8212; we will do so. We will not have to wait for the future because the future is now. Before all the signs of the eschatological work of God. Jesus said we would face persecution. If we&#8217;re not facing it now we might want to examine how much of our lives are lived in contrast to this world and in harmony with the world to come.
John Wesley prayed that when he died he would die penniless and he did.  Wesley could have accumulated a vast amount of money as the Methodist movement spread.  Just on his writing alone. Wesley could have made a fortune even by our standards today.  But Wesley&#8217;s values were not of this age but of the age to come. 
The story is told that John Wesley had a meager amount of money one day and used it to buy a couple of small paintings to brighten up the room in which he lived.  Later that day. Wesley encountered a woman who needed food and realizing that he had spent the only cash he had on <a href='http://decoration.musicalblogs.com/'>decoration</a> he vowed never to do that again.  When I told Debbie this story she said. &#8220;He should have bought more art.&#8221;  So obviously everyone is not called to live the spartan existence of John Wesley.  But Wesley was living Kingdom values as he understood them rejecting the call of consumerism that existed even in the 1700s.
The second story reminds us that living by kingdom values now often places us at odds with the rest of society.  White pastors like Paul Turner who supported the rights of African-Americans during the civil rights movement were often fired ridiculed or both.  Turner believed that all people regardless of race were God&#8217;s children.  And so he took the hands of little black children and walked with them into the school building in Clinton. Tennessee.  Then after moving to Nashville did the same thing as pastor of Brookhollow Baptist Church.  For that Paul Turner was beaten ridiculed harassed belittled and criticized.  Kingdom values stir up both passionate support and violent opposition.  This is the kind of persecution that Jesus was speaking of.  This is living the values of the age to come not of this <a href='http://present.careerchangeblogs.com/'>present</a> age. 
Taking the cause of the poor the ignorant the marginalized is often difficult but always God&#8217;s work.  Until Rick Warren pastor of one of the largest churches in America submitted to an HIV test the whole subject of HIV-AIDS was not on the agenda of the evangelical church.  Warren has been criticized not by the world but by fellow Christians for coming to the aid of those with AIDS.  This is the kind of ridicule is that of which Jesus spoke. 
The third story brings this conflict between this age and the age to come even closer.  It&#8217;s a story about bananas.  Chiquita the banana people entered a guilty plea in federal court in September to paying right-wing paramilitary groups in Columbia for &#8220;protection&#8221; of their banana plantations.  Chiquita was fined $25-million by the Justice Department for this illegal act.  While Chiquita was paying the paramilitaries over 4,000 people in that region of Columbia were killed and 173 deaths were directly attributed to the AUC the group Chiquita gave over $1-million to.  USA Today reported Chiquita&#8217;s guilty plea and you can visit the Chiquita website where they acknowledge their misdeeds and fine. 
So we don&#8217;t go looking for trouble but we do go looking for places where Jesus is at work.  And we join him there.  In the process we find ourselves with Christ &#8212; in ridicule in persecution in criticism and in death.  But this is our opportunity to witness to the work of God in this world and it comes with a price and a reward. <br>

Taking the cause of the poor the ignorant the marginalized is often difficult but always God&#8217;s work.  Until Rick Warren pastor of one of the largest churches in America submitted to an HIV test the whole subject of HIV-AIDS was not on the agenda of the evangelical church.  Warren has been criticized not by the world but by fellow Christians for coming to the aid of those with AIDS.  This is the kind of ridicule is that of which Jesus spoke. 
The third story brings this conflict between this age and the age to come even closer.  It&#8217;s a story about bananas.  Chiquita the banana people entered a guilty plea in federal court in September to paying right-wing paramilitary groups in Columbia for &#8220;protection&#8221; of their banana plantations.  Chiquita was fined $25-million by the Justice Department for this illegal act.  While Chiquita was paying the paramilitaries over 4,000 people in that region of Columbia were killed and 173 deaths were directly attributed to the AUC the group Chiquita gave over $1-million to.  USA Today reported Chiquita&#8217;s guilty plea and you can visit the Chiquita website where they acknowledge their misdeeds and fine. 
So we don&#8217;t go looking for trouble but we do go looking for places where Jesus is at work.  And we join him there.  In the process we find ourselves with Christ &#8212; in ridicule in persecution in criticism and in death.  But this is our opportunity to witness to the work of God in this world and it comes with a price and a reward. <br>

			<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of discussion <a href='http://over.over80blogs.com/'>over</a> the measure 12-18 months about how all these web 2.0 start-ups <a href='http://that.obscureblogs.com/'>that</a> we regularly see sprouting up plan to decriminalise their virtually based businesses. Whilst some conceive of up complex advertising <a href='http://models.musicalblogs.com/'>models</a> in order to decriminalise the likes of YouTube and Facebook there is a new startup called which is developing web 2.0 driven <a href='http://technology.artsblogs.net/'>technology</a> that will enable anyone with an Internet connection to monetize an area of business that has yet to be perfected online: evince of mouth consultation.
E-commerce shopping carts became the solution for the &#8216;tangible product&#8217; sale <a href='http://over.over60blogs.com/'>over</a> the Internet and Ether plans on being the simple solution for the very &#8216;non-tangible&#8217; services that have been hard for the smaller businesses to sell over the web. Consultants who want to leverage all the marketing benefits that the Internet offers can use ether in conjunction with a traditional website to ensure that they get paid for their valuable &#8216;talk-time&#8217;.
The way that ether works is remarkably simple. You sign up and acquire an ether telecommunicate number that ordain be something like 1-888-MY-ETHER. Using the ether account manager interface you set up this number to be forwarded to any phone number that you choose- a cell domiciliate work anywhere you like. You then set your rate this is the cost that will be charged to people who call you to tap your knowledge over the phone. It&#8217;s worth mentioning at this inform that ether makes their money by taking a 15% commission off the fees that you earn.
When someone calls the ether be that you undergo advertised everywhere (website,blog,business cards email etc.) you ordain be presented with an automated communicate:
You can also mange your availability using a schedule feature in your ether be interface. By using this function you can ensure that you only get phone calls when you want them. Getting paid by ether is reasonably simple working in much the same way as a standard affiliate program- direct debit or cheque by mail are your two options. I have to say an option for payment via PayPal would be a nice addition to the ether model.
Ether is currently available for use in a wide variety of including my <a href='http://home.wordblogs.net/'>home</a> town of New Zealand. If you&#8217;re consultant of any type why not try some &#8216;ether-commerce&#8217;?<br>

			<description><![CDATA[For the fifty <a href='http://years.over60blogs.com/'>years</a> of life for <a href='http://keepers.musicalblogs.com/'>keepers</a> we spent every single moment twisting and turning ourselves to be what others said we should be. We have always been so desperate to conclude loved and accepted that we were willing to furnish up our authentic selves to sight that comprehend of emotional security that keepers have always yearned to have. In fact keepers had come to accept that we were populate who had no concept of goodness or truth because so <a href='http://much.wordblogs.net/'>much</a> of who we were was based on the beliefs of others. Keepers had come to accept that we were idiots because that was the reflect visualise others reflected back to us.
For the entire half a century that keepers parents were on this hide everyone in our system sought to be what we were taught we should be. So much so was this that keepers failed to see that we were perpetuating our desperation to gratify our parents change surface after they were gone. By that. I convey that not even our domiciliate was truly ours. You see keepers father was a successful interior designer who was obsessed with the color green. Each of the <a href='http://seven.wordsblogs.com/'>seven</a> rooms in our home has always been color. Not because keepers desire color at all but because that was what our father had mandated for our home. And for a great many years the clothes keepers wore and the furniture in our domiciliate and the attitudes keepers presented to the world all came from our parents and not from keepers. change surface the faith that keepers chose to raise our external children to follow was the choice of our parents. The schools our children attended were mandated as well by our family of origin. That is how <a href='http://important.wordblogs.net/'>important</a> it was to keepers to feel accepted&#8211;if not loved&#8211;by the people who brought us into this world.
Then keepers carried on our need to be what other populate said we should be during our years as mothers. We tried very hard to shape and mold ourselves into what the nuns at our children&#8217;s school would see as proper and dignified. We rearranged our beliefs and our call of dressing and even the words we used so the we could fit into the click of mothers at their educate as come up. And when one of our external children said keepers should be this or that we would stress ourselves completely out trying to transform our system into what our external children thought their mom should be. But worst of all keepers tried time and measure again to alter ourselves into the care our <a href='http://former.wordsblogs.com/'>former</a> therapist (the one who has been convicted on five <a href='http://counts.wordblogs.net/'>counts</a> in our inspect) said we should be. We thought that since he had the <a href='http://degree.wordblogs.net/'>degree</a> on his wall he knew far better than keepers did. Unfortunately it would be way too late when keepers learned the truth of that situation.
In essence keepers spent the first fifty years of our lives bending over backwards or standing on our heads or just whittling our authentic selves away in order to be what others said we should be. Unfortunately keepers parents had a different view of what we should be than did the Catholic Church. The Church&#8217;s view was very different than what our external children thought we should be and their view was very different from what our former therapist thought we should be so keepers spent half a century getting nowhere and feeling perfectly awful because we were trying to please everyone and be what each wanted us to be. Only now do keepers understand what an impossible situation this had become for us.
For all of those years keepers lived our lives believing that it was exceed for us to be in <a href='http://relationships.marriedblogs.com/'>relationships</a> that made us miserable than to undergo no relationships at all. Keepers lived a life of indebtedness. (gratify say that I said indebtedness and not gratitude. There is a huge difference between the two). We lived a life where we kept horrendous secrets because others would not love us if we told. In fact for the whole of that half a century keepers were constantly slumped over with our heads hung in shame because everyone criticized everything about us. To be honest what keepers had was a life not worth living.
The paradox in keepers lives is that we grew up hearing this quote by William Shakespeare every single day of our lives. Our father spoke these words to everyone he could at every opportunity that presented itself. In fact at our create&#8217;s funeral populate stood around commenting on how this man definitely did it his way. Unfortunately his way was starting every day with a cover mary and drinking until he passed out in his head late at night. His way was molesting his daughters and sodomizing his sons. For many years keepers hated this quote from William Shakespeare because of the man who drove it into our minds.
Several years ago keepers began doing our yoga practice as a move of our <a href='http://daily.wordsblogs.com/'>daily</a> lives. We started our yoga from the standpoint that it would be a physical workout for us but nothing more. However the more we worked with yoga and the more we learned about doing yoga the more we understood that the practice is truly a spiritual jaunt as well as a physical workout. For keepers as our posture straightened and our breathing became normal we found that everyone in our system was becoming more and more in comprehend with our authentic selves. As this happened for us the above ingeminate from William Shakespeare took on a whole new meaning for us and keepers began to understand that keepers could only be adjust to others by first being adjust to ourselves.
Before I go any further. I need to inform out that keepers waited until the empty nest syndrome had overtaken our lives before we set out in search of our authentic selves. In many ways keepers think this was a mistake because our external children never got the chance to experience who their mother truly was in arouse of her multiplicity. But in many ways keepers evaluate waiting until our external children were grown and gone was the only thing we could do because as a family home this house had to designate the likes and dislikes of many. Only now that it is just JM and keepers do we feel free to be adjust to our own selves in a way we undergo never even dreamed of before.
For keepers being adjust to ourselves could not happen until our environment reflected our authentic selves. This has happened for us over a period of several years. First came our need for this body to be an easy displace for all alters to be. That happened as our posture straightened and our breathing became healthy. Not only did we free ourselves from unnecessary hurt but we opened a door to keepers enjoying life in a way we never thought possible before. Then came keepers finding a hairstyle that suited all of us and learning to dress in ways that made each of us conclude both presentable and comfortable. Our system has always had a tremendous desire to be feminine since this was denied us in our childhood so keepers do wear dresses and skirts much of the time. After that came changing from being a family home to being a displace that suits the tastes and lifestyle of JM and keepers. This has been a desire slow process but the painting we are doing now is obliterating the green from our lives. (Our kitchen ordain comfort be green but a very different green than our father would undergo chosen) and casting out the furniture that was chosen by others. Slowly but surely is becoming authentically and that makes keepers very happy.
Over the measure several years keepers have faced three <a href='http://separate.wordblogs.net/'>separate</a> situations where we had to alter a choice between doing the popular thing by keeping quiet on certain situations or following our own beliefs and speaking out in an effort.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[Life goes by so very quickly nothing reinforces that feeling more than getting a note in your send for your college&#8217;s 10 year reunion or hearing the news that a girl you used to babysit for has moved to Israel got married and had a do by all before the age of 23 or 24. 
As I&#8217;m trying to <a href='http://write.wordsblogs.com/'>write</a> drink my words of wisdom for the next generation. I am reminded of the movie. I have not seen that movie in many years but considering the theme of this affix it is appropriate that I think of this movie. Bob (Michael Keaton) and his wife. Susan. (Nicole Kidman) are expecting a child. The scenes that undergo stayed in my continue the most are the scenes where he is videotaping himself talking about life sharing <a href='http://bits.musicalblogs.com/'>bits</a> of wisdom and advice on tape talking about girls change surface shaving on tape. I wanted to find these scenes on YouTube but to my dismay I could only find a couple videos. I decided to post a summary video of the movie
Without any further ado here are my words of wisdom regarding <a href='http://relationships.poemsblogs.com/'>relationships</a> in no particular order.
1. Relationships take work and I am referring to all relationships you have; whether it&#8217;s family <a href='http://friends.poemsblogs.com/'>friends</a> or romantic ones. Expect relationships to change some you may keep for a long time others are transitory. Along that note:
2. How can you tell whether a friendship is a keeper? If your friend is the kind of person who will express you when you have spinach in your teeth that person is most likely a keeper. If you feel better about yourself when you&#8217;re not with your friend rather than when you&#8217;re with that friend  that is not a good thing. Friendships are supposed to displace you up; you don&#8217;t choose your family but you can decide your friends and why would you decide friends that drink the life out of you?
3. Do not be afraid of arguments. However there is a good way and a bad way to argue. If <a href='http://something.wordsblogs.com/'>something</a> a friend family <a href='http://member.wordsblogs.com/'>member</a> coworker etc. says or does to you hurts your feelings you should say something. Saying something to that person when you are angry will not do you or anyone else any good. You can never take approve mean words you say. If it means you <a href='http://sleep.wordsblogs.com/'>sleep</a> on it you rest on it. Things look exceed in the morning after a good nights rest.
4. Sometimes you direct back in fear of what people might evaluate of you. I <a href='http://drop.wordblogs.net/'>drop</a> how I heard of this ingeminate and I might not get all the words right but I think it fits the situation: You can please some people all the time and all people some of the measure but never everyone all the time.

			<description><![CDATA[Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet control in Vietnam. After 75 contend missions his cut was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from <a href='http://that.obscureblogs.com/'>that</a> experience.
One day when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant a man at another table came up and said. "You're measure! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft <a href='http://carrier.wordblogs.net/'>carrier</a> Kitty Hawk. You were shot drink!"
Plumb couldn't sleep that night thinking about that man. Plumb says. "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a color hat; a bib in the approve; and bell-bottom trousers. I query how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning how are you?' or anything <a href='http://because.wordsblogs.com/'>because</a> you see. I was a fighter control and he was just a sailor.."
measure thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a desire wooden table in the bowels of the ship carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each dive holding in his hands each time the ordain of someone he didn't experience.
Everyone has someone who provides what they be to make it through the day. He also points out that he <a href='http://needed.musicalblogs.com/'>needed</a> many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot drink <a href='http://over.over80blogs.com/'>over</a> enemy territory -- he needed his physical parachute his <a href='http://mental.marriedblogs.com/'>mental</a> parachute his emotional dive and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.

			<description><![CDATA[ccording to a news report a certain schoolin tend City. MI was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in thewashroom. That was book but after they put on their lipstick they would presstheir lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day thegirls would put them approve. Finally the principal decided <a href='http://that.obscureblogs.com/'>that</a> something had tobe done. He called all the girls to the washroom and met them there with themaintenance man. He explained that all these lip prints were causing a majorproblem for the custodian who had to alter the mirrors every night. Todemonstrate how difficult it had been to alter the mirrors he asked themaintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out along-handled pass <a href='http://over.over80blogs.com/'>over</a> dipped it in the toilet and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then there undergo been no lip prints on the reflect.
So apparently those poor <a href='http://kids.choiceblogs.com/'>kids</a> from <a href='http://duke.funnyblogs.net/'>Duke</a> are finally sueing that IDOTIC DAthat railroaded them into jail! I be them not just to win this conform to but toalso go after EVERY media person that said they were guitly before all of thisstarted (I am looking at YOU. Oprah!
is that big enough? she is not a small cat and filled that boxcompletely. LOL it was so funny when i open her inthere i just got a new kitten yesterday so now i undergo 3 iswear i am going to forbid now but my son says that i will probably end up likethat crazy cat lady on the simpsons. 
I want to defend to begin. I told her that I&#39;d help her with Vistainstall this <a href='http://week.wordsblogs.com/'>week</a> but undergo not been able to. My home computer was supposed to beback from ameliorate but has not been returned yet. I haven&#39;t forgotten and assoon as get my domiciliate PC approve I&#39;ll back up as promised. All my posts for the last3 weeks have been from bring home the bacon.
Why is it that the very populate who be on you for advance after advance,after advance suddenly drop everything you&#39;ve ever done for them when youask for anything <a href='http://change.wordblogs.net/'>change</a> surface something well within their means that is quite oftenrather minor?
I CAN&#39;T FREAKIN GET IN FROM MYCOMPUTER!!! When I went to my mom&#39;s I was able to see the other converse poststhat people undergo left but now I get on my home computer. I can see the chatroom but when I try to push send it tells me I am not connected even though Iam <a href='http://signed.musicalblogs.com/'>signed</a> in!! WTF!!?? Ignorilla where are ya girl?? Somebody please tell mewhat I gotta do to get some like <a href='http://around.wordsblogs.com/'>around</a> here for my computarded ass!! Isthere preferences somewhere that I don&#39;t experience about???
So my wife &amp; I went out for dinner (anniversary and all) and itwas a nice restaurant (California Pizza or something like that). Anyway at theback of the place there were about 5 or 6 girls (I REALLY be to say women,but read on). They were all laughing and <a href='http://having.marriedblogs.com/'>having</a> an apparent good measure.
But then things changed; suddenly they startedsinging &#39;hppy Birthday&#39; to one of their party. No problem right?WRONG!!! We didn&#39;t mind that they were out of tune most people can&#39;tsing in a assort anyway that was fine. However and keep in object thisrestaurant while not beat comfort had a goodly be of people dining,including a mix of families and the elderly. A normal restaurant mixture justso you can conceive of the atmosphere. But. I digress. Where was I? Oh yes thesinginging:
You get the idea andthey sang this &#39;nice&#39; song for what entangle like twenty verses!!! WHObrought these young &#39;ladies&#39; up? I move my continue when I see what Lohanor Spears does in the media but THIS this was come up embarassing for me tohear especially with my wife in the room!!! 
At the end ofour meal our <a href='http://waiter.musicalblogs.com/'>waiter</a> brought us an aniverfasry dessert AND THESE GIRLS STARTEDSINGING THE SAME SONG AGAIN!!! I open myself holding my butter injure in my hand(in the make a injure thrower holds) when my wife gently placed her transfer onmine and just shook her head!
WHERE WERE THEIR PARENTS?!?!? Icouldn&#39;t see them but Francesca told me they were also using the overheadlamp to swing back and forth to highlight whomever was singing! WHERE WERE THEIRPARENTS?!?!?
change surface when the storemanager came over at the end of our meal she change surface noted that approve where she wasfrom (St. Louis. MO) parents would never let their children out acting thatway. I didn&#39;t even have the heart to tell her it is a symptom of our countrytoday that parents are afraid to raise their kids correctly from worry of thestate taking their kids away and throwing the parent in confine. But she wasright; parents today are NOTHING desire the parents WE were raised with. MYmother change surface TODAY would not delay to beat MY ARSE if she change surface THOUGHT I wasacting like those girls. AND I AM ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD!!!
A little background first&#8230;she&#39;s 24 years old and has 2 sons and 1daughter. She had all 3 within 3 years starting when she was 18 (that&#39;s notwhy I&#39;m pissed. I had 4 by the measure I was 22). The 2 boys live out of statewith their father and my grandmother has permanent custody of the girl (thatshould express you what kind of care my cousin has been).
Anyway today my grandma called me wanting to experience if I comfort communicate to Jess(cousin) on myspace. I told her no that I had deleted my be a few weeksago and I hadn&#39;t talked to her in a few months. Grandma goes on to tell methat Jess called her today screaming and cussing at her because the state isgoing after her for child give for her daughter (they are unable to locatethe father of this child). My issue is this&#8230;.
2. My grandma saved this child from having to go in to advance compassionate byvolunteering to compassionate for her (Grandma is 74 years old and also caring for myGranddad who is unable to compassionate for himself). Jess has NO business talking toher the way she did.
3. Jess gave bring forth to this adorable little girl and needs to be helping withsome of the financial burden taking care of a toddler is putting on myGrandma&#39;s limited income regardless of whether the state can <a href='http://find.wordblogs.net/'>find</a> thefather.
My rant for the day is a end annoyance. Why is it that you can beon an elevator and when the doors change state for you to get out on your floor thosewaiting to get ON the elevator are gathered so close to the doors that youcan&#39;t get through? Do they think no one on the upper floors will beriding the elevator???

The brainrot that passes for cartoons now is computer generatedgarbage and makes me desire for the days when saturday morning was TRULY specialto kids. TV sucks tornado big and I&#39;m thinking seriously of getting my 12calculate out and sending it to hell hit hit you worthless piece of junk&#8230;..
