::Inspirational Story::
::A Positive Thought:::
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would
be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring, and a
sunrise
every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He's there to listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe, but
He chose your heart.
What about the Christmas gift He sent you in
Bethlehem, not to mention
that Friday
at Calvary.
Face it, God is CRAZY about you!!!
Have you accepted Jesus?

::Washington Sumo Wrestling::
A socialist government?
Dear Comrades Clinton, Gore, Kennedy, McCain,
Feinstein and Leahy, etc.:
As I watch you from beyond the grave I must say
that I am happy beyond
expression, due to the
success of my goals and life work that I labored
so hard to accomplish on my native soil of Mother
Russia. It is comforting
to know that the ideals
of socialism and communism are alive and well around
the world despite the evil efforts of your despicable
Ronald Reagan. Thanks
to the hard work of dear
Comrades such as the Honorable Mr. Clinton, even
in America, the stronghold of evil capitalism, these
ideals are being embraced
by the masses, disguised by
your liberal media, which we all know is meant
to be
nothing more than a propaganda arm of the state! The
recent series
of events that took place in your state
of Florida, where you nearly took
power by the recount,
recount, recount, recount, etc. of votes was very
clever,
sloppy but clever. I must admit, you made me very proud!
As I have watched events develop in your country,
I must admit that I am
most impressed with what you
call the Liberal Left! It is wonderful to
see such a
clever disguise put to use, for I assume that is what
it is,
to cover the socialist movement in your country.
You know, if you read the "Communist Manifesto", that
wonderful document
written by our comrades and patriots
Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels in 1848,
it is beautiful to
see the similarities (at least 17!)between your Liberal
Left and the glorious
revolution in Mother Russia! For lack
of time and space I will merely list
them with occasional
comments and quotes from the Manifesto.
1. The Instigation of Class Warfare.
"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history
of class struggles"--The
Communist Manifesto, 1848
After the campaign, for your country to elect a president,
(which Comrade
Gore you have my condolences in your loss!
Never fear, at the rate your
country is going, one day all
those pesky inconveniences of that silly
Constitution will
be removed, trust me!) your nation was left fractured
and
divided as never before, thanks to your pitting the rich
against the
poor, the black against the white and the men a
gainst the woman. We called it the bourgeoisie (rich) vs.
the proletariat
(poor). It is the classic ploy of the communist
party, played with incredible
skill by the politicians of the
Liberal Left.
2. Restraints on Free Trade.
"It (the burgeoisie--rich ruling class--aka people who succeed
in life)
has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and
in place of the numberless
indefeasible chartered freedoms,
has set up that single, unconscionable
freedom--free trade.
In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious
and political
illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct brutal
exploitation." The Communist Manifesto, 1848.
As I read this I thought about your puppet Janet Reno and her
(or is it
yours Mr. Clinton, I never did quite figure that out!)
liberal justice department, and their attacks on free trade. For
example
look at the intense attacks on Bill Gates and Microsoft,
that effectively
brought down the stock market, and played a part
in the Clinton Recession.
Keep up the good work, soon your country
will also be ready for a glorious
revolution!
3. The Promotion of Worker's Unions
"Thereupon, the workers begin to form combinations (trade unions)
against
the burgeois...The real fruit of their battles lie not in
the immediate
result, but in the ever expanding union of workers."
The Communist Manifest,
1848
Working men of the world unite! This was our battle cry, with we
which
we took control of Mother Russia. Your unions, are the best
way to promote
our ideals, so don't ignore them, you must have their
vote! Never forget
that!
4. Elimination of Private Property
"In this sense, the theory of communism may be summed up in the
single
sentence: Abolition of Private Property" The Communist
Manifesto, 1848
Your mentality of taxes is the correct means of fulfilling this
grand goal
of eliminating the evil capitalists. Every time you say
"Tax cuts will
cost the state...I mean the government...so many dollars"
you promote this
thought that all property and income belongs to the
state who then passes
it on to the people! Thus you move closer to
the elimination of selfish
private property and the high ideals of socialism!
5. Women's Equal rights movements.
"But you Communists would introduce communities of women...the
burgeois
sees his wife a mere instrument of production..the
real point aimed at
is to do away with the status of women as
mere instruments of production...what
the Communists might possibly
be reproached with is that they desire to
introduce, in substitution
for hypocritically concealed, an openly legalized
system of free love."
The Communist Manifesto, 1848
What your women's equal rights movements don't realize, because
they never
take time to read this beautiful document, is that
"liberating" them (taking
them out of the home) was a
necessary means of promoting "free love", thus
eliminating the
sanctity of wedding vows, and decimating the moral rules,
of you
prudish capitalists!
6. Absence of Patriotism
"The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish
countries
and nationality" The Communist Manifesto, 1848
I love to see you burn your flag, it merely means that people are
losing
respect for your country. It is funny that your own Supreme
Court believes
that it is OK. Now you know why we eliminate free
speech, and why we LOVE
your judicial system!
7. Distrust and Dislike of Religion
"The charges against communism from a religious, a philosophical
and generally,
from an ideological standpoint, are not deserving
of serious examination."
The Communist Manifesto, 1848
"Religion is the opium of the people." It is us that made, "Separation
of church and state" official, while you merely talk of it. Although
I
must admit, you are finally doing better. You may yet be able to
get rid
of the radical religious prudes that wish to keep you tied
to some religious
moral code. Comrade Clinton has done well in
shedding those ties!
8.
Redistribution of wealth
"The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by
degree,
all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all
instruments of production
in the hands of the state, i.e., of
the proletariat organized as the working
class."
The Communist Manifesto, 1848.
9. - 17
These are 10 items that Comrade Marx said would be
pretty generally applicable,
in most advanced countries
(socialist). All 10 either apply to your country
or you are
headed there! One we have already mentioned. I put the quote
and a
brief not of how you have achieved it or are headed that way:
1. "Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of
land
to public purposes." (This is government seizure of property,
such as Comrade
Clinton did with over 60 million acres before leaving
office.)
2. "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax."
3. "Abolition of all rights of inheritance" (Your Death Tax is a
good way
to start this, if you tax 50% it will be easier to get
the other 50%!)
4. "Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels."
(Your IRS has
been used as a wonderful tool to accomplish this;
if someone disagrees,
audit them and take away everything they
own! Brilliant!)
5. "Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means
of a national
bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly."
(Your FDIC seems to fit this role nicely.)
6. "Centralization of the means of communication and transport
in the hands
of the state." (Your Departments of Communication
and Transportation are
headed in this direction. Also your
Senators McCain and Feingold are really
doing their best to
promote this control of Communications with their socialistic
ideas of campaign reform.)
7. "...the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the
improvement
of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan."
(While the need
to cultivate and improve the environment, the common
plan--run by government
of course--controls the way people can live
their lives and what people
can do on their own evil private property.
Your EPA handles this job very
well!)
8. "Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial
armies,
especially for agriculture." (I have already mentioned this
one--workers
unions.)
9. "Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries;
gradual abolition
of al the distinction between town and country
by a more equable distribution
of the populace over the country"
(While you lack a long way to go on this
one, individual cities
like Atlanta are not far from it. But, hey, 9 out
of 10 is not too bad!)
10. "Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition
of children's
factory labor in its present form. Combination of
education with industrial
production, etc.? (While elimination of
child labor makes common sense,
public education, to the exclusion
of private education and home education,
is brilliant, that is how
we control a nation for generations. That is
why I love your educational
system. It is an effective ar m of the state,
and I love that!)
Well, I have been somewhat long winded. I'm sorry I took up so much of
your time. But on behalf of myself and my Comrades (such as Lenin,
Marx,
Engels and others) We just wanted to say Congratulations on a
job well
done; and thank you for not letting our dreams die with us.
Who knows,
if your people do not wake up or become attuned to these
changes, and if
things keep heading in this direction, maybe one day
we will see the red
flag with the hammer and sickle flying in Washington
D.C. from your capitol!
Sincerely,
Josef Stalin

Dog Letters to God
Dear God,
How come people love to smell flowers, but seldom,
if ever, smell one another?
Where are their priorities?
Dear God,
When we get to Heaven, can we sit on your couch?
Or is it the same old
story?
Dear God,
Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the
jaguar, the cougar, the
mustang, the colt, the
stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for
a
dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around?
We dogs love a nice
ride! I know every breed cannot
have its own model, but it would be easy
to rename
the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle!
Dear God,
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no
human hears him, is he
still a bad dog?
Dear God,
When my foster mom's friend comes over to our house,
he smells like musk!
What's he been rolling around in?
Dear God,
Is it true that in Heaven, dining room tables have
on-ramps?
Dear God,
More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God,
When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to
shake hands to get in?
Dear God,
We dogs can understand human verbal instructions,
hand signals, whistles,
horns, clickers, beepers,
scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and
Frisbee
flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God,
Are there dogs on other planets, or are we alone? I
have been howling at
the moon and stars for a long
time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle
across
the street.
Dear God,
Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I
have to apologize?
Dear God,
Is it true that dogs are not allowed in restaurants
because we can't make
up our minds what NOT to order?
Or is it the carpets again?
Dear God,
When my family eats dinner they always bless their food.
But they never
bless mine. So, I've been wagging my tail
extra fast when they fill my
bowl. Have you noticed my own blessing?
Dear God,
I've always lived at the shelter and I have everything I
need. But many
of the cats here have names and I don't.
Could you give me a name please?
It would be good for my self-esteem.
Dear God,
The new terrier I live with just peed on the Oriental
rug and I have a
feeling my family might blame me 'cuz
they think I'm jealous of this stupid
dog. Since they
have no sense of smell, how can I convince them I'm
innocent?
Does PetsMart sell lie detectors?

::Verse of the Week::
Many, O LORD my GOD, are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned
for us no one can recount to
you; were I to speak and tell of them, they
would be
too many to declare.
-Psalms 40:5

==========================================<><=
==============================================
::Jesus Christ::
Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal
savior? Do feel like something
is missing
in your life? Do you feel like there is
no point to life, you have
nothing to live
for? Are you worried about your future?
You don't have to read horoscopes, or call
a psychic hotline to be comforted of your
future. Instead, GOD loves
you. And He
wants only the best for you. He knows
you inside and
out, even if you don't know
Him. He loves you unconditionally, no strings
are attached to His love. He loves you so
much that He died for you. He did it so
that you and I could spend
all eternity
with Him. Do you have Him as your savior?
He didn't say that we would have all the
luxuries of this world, He
did say that He
would provide for us, if only we seek Him.
Do you have this wonderful gift called
Salvation? If you don't, it's
easy to get,
just ask Him you want it. Commit your life
to Him, and He will greatly
reward you.
Will you pray?
"Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness.
I am sorry
for my sins and I don't want to sin against You
anymore. I believe You
are the Son of God and You died on
the cross for MY sins. I also believe
that you rose from the dead
so that I, too, may have victory over the grave.
Please forgive me
now Lord and cleanse me. Come into my heart and give
me a new
life. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and for
hearing
and answering my prayer. Amen"
If you've
just prayed that, you are a Child
of GOD. Think about that! A child of the
Creator of the Universe. It's a humbling
experience. If you have anything you
want to know about your new life
with Christ,
or if you're still not sure about all this,
please do not hesitate to email me,
