Good Word for the day
But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
And seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. And the evil spirit answered and said to them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued both of them and ovepowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified (Acts 19:13-17, NASB).
Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the LORD with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly (1 Chr 29:9, NASB).

BIGGUN6969 has a post up entitled "Cell phone vs. Bible.
I am shamelessly appropriating it for this blog; but you need to go see him anyway.
Cell phone vs. Bible
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities.
Later.

No mas! no mas!
Ah, surprise, surprise, S.U.R.P.R.I.S.E.!
When we look at the results of the voting on the "bailout" package, is it not interesting to find that the two democrat senators from South Dakota both voted against the bill; yet the lone republicrat voted for it?
Actually, it did not come as a surprise.
You see, both of them are up for reelection this year.
Add to that, the fact that con-gress critter Johnson is recovering from a major stroke, or a brain aneurysm, that could be bringing his perceived worth to the state down a little.
I had to laugh at his current radio ad..."There are show horses and there are work horses. Senator Tim Johnson is a work horse."
He is, and always has been a bleeding spend and tax liberal. Whatever legislation he has been involved in getting passed has been to enhance his resume to keep him in the throne room of washington dc.
I was also amazed to read in the latest VFW magazine that the VFW supports Tim Johnson and Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin for con-gress.
Well, it has taken me some time to get to know the VFW; I have been a life member since 1974.
I find the VFW is not much different than AARP (the old teachers union); both are interested in con-gress spending more and more money.
They are also interested in con-gress passing laws that give gummint more control over the citizenry.
But, back to the vote on the bailout...con-gress critter John Thune voted for the bailout, cuz, he is a representative of the class of liberal leaning conservatives that have come to power.
He is bought, and owned, by the ethanol crowd, and the corn farmers.
He has learned his lesson well, in his short time in DC. He went there to make a difference, and he is now different.
It is indeed a sad state of affairs, when elected "public officials" are more concerned in how much money they can squeeze out of the average citizen, so they can fill their own pockets.
How many con-gress critters have gone to DC, with not a lot of assets, or wealth, and are now millionaires, or multi-millionaires?
Where do they get all that wealth?
Yeah, from us, the genteel, public who want nothing more than to attain the American dream, raise a family, be the best they can be, and be left alone.
What a difference it would make, if every con-gress critter had to give up their ludicrous salary, their mega worth retirement fund, and their exalted position in society.
Why in the name of sanity, are we paying these megalomaniacs six figure salaries anyway?
They only write more, and more laws, many of which are already on the books. When has one con-gress critter done anything to remove any laws?
Uh, speaking of laws, they also have a propensity for writing laws, that impinge on older laws, in order to make sure they will get more votes by helping certain sections of society.
Guess why con-gress critters want a law that says felons who have paid for their crime should be allowed to vote?
Guess why con-gress critters want illegal alien amnesty, and legal rights for terrorists and criminals that are in this country illegally?
Then they look for ways to transfer wealth from those who work, to those who will not work: because, that gets them votes, which helps them stay in office.
As one of the comic critters used to say, "We have met the enemy, and he is us!"
Yeah, we feel good knowing our con-gress critter is bringing more money back to South Dakota than is paid in taxes. Yeah, we are really getting over on somebody.
B Hussein O has promised us change in our gummint, and our country if he is elected president. What kind of change does he have in mind?
Seems to me, he wants higher taxes, more money paid to the UN, no more limited immigration, no more only English spoken, no more desire for immigrants to adapt to us, no more individual property ownership.
He is a Marxist socialist clear through to his bone marrow. He wants this country to be totally run by the gummint. And sadly, too many of us agree with him, and think it would be a great idea if there was no longer any personal, private, property.
Too bad, that so many of us who want that kind of country, have never been to a country that is run that way.
When you see the poverty of the people who depend on the gummint, and you see the wealth of the "elite" in the sacred halls of gummint; you quickly get an abhorrence of that life.
Well, I guess this has been a lengthy diatribe...not sure where it all came from, other than I am really tired, yes, even retired about the way this country seems to be headed.
When are we gonna jerk our heads out of the sand, and read the writing on the wall?
When it is too late; it is too late...

Mental fat I'm chewen
I have mentioned before that I grew up in an abusive home.
I have also mentioned that I was one of the "weenies" in school who seemed to attract all the bullies.
My senior year in high school brought the military recruiters in, and I was impressed with the Marine dress blues.
Having watched many episodes of "Victory at Sea" during early 50s, I was familiar with the services and their involvement in the battles of world war two.
I have also mentioned that the high school phys ed teacher, was a Marine who participated in the Korean conflict; and he was an enormous role model for me.
The Marine dress blues, and Mr Appuglise were prolly enuff to point me in the direction of joining the Marine Corps, but because of my abusive home life, and my being a "weenie" that got beat up all the time, I also had an ulterior motive of joining the Marine Corps that I might be able to kill people.
Unlike the kids that shot up the schools because of the abuse they received, I was so afraid of my dad, that I think I believed that if I did any thing like that, and killed myself, he would kill me again.
Anyway, the Marine Corps was really good for me. I learned pretty quickly, and I was already in pretty good shape.
The Marine Corps taught me respect, and loyalty, and yeah, it taught me how to kill people, with guns, knives and bare hands.
But along with that knowledge and skill came the understanding that I was responsible to use it appropriately.
I joined the Marine Corps shortly after receiving my high school diploma. I was seventeen, five foot nine, and 135 pounds of rompin stompin "chicken shit".
When I left boot camp, I was eighteen, five foot eleven and weighed 180 pounds.
Suffice it to say, my dad no longer threatened me, and I had no concern over the bullies I had known in school.
I guess, in a way, I was like the 500 pound canary that walks down dark alleys, at night, hollering, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!"
I never looked for trouble, but I also no longer feared it.
I spent sixteen years in the Marine Corps, attained the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, spent one tour in Vietnam, but never got to kill anyone.
I have since learned that God knows where we are going, and what is important for us.
There but by the grace of God went I, and by the grace of God, I came back.
I don't understand it all; but I truly believe there is coming day when we will know, and understand.
