Going to turn in now. Thanks to all for a memorable thread today, enjoyed hearing about all the different trips to a special spot that we all treasure so much.

[WVNan]

Hey Claybanator. I like your target there.

[WVNan]

Hi Aqua! And goodnight. Sorry I'm late.

[Aquamarine]

Good night (((Nan))). Would like to stay but got up early and have ran out of steam. See ya tomorrow.

I suspect the Captain is sailing quieter and happier seas - - to my knowledge, no one has ever heard from his family after asking we cease writing to him at the time his health situation was being pursued more than a year ago.

We do miss you, Captain ofMagog....

[WVNan]

We do miss him and the voyages we sailed on the Mobeus. Hey Sistah, I think I found your drunk crow.

[LadyX]

Lol, Sistah Nan....

The problem with the Holly Hedge Wars is the littered battlefield I have yet to clean up..:(
Tomorrow is another day - -

[WVNan]

I'm worried that you are going to overdo the great outdoors thingy Sistah. Clipping hedges is WORK, and I'm guessing it's pretty warm down there already. You be careful. (Fuss fuss fuss).

[LadyX]

The nights are still in the 60's, Nan, and the hedge was in the shade - with a heavenly breeze making it quite pleasant.

The real problem was the darned electric hedge clipper and trying to keep it on with bad hands. It 'died' over and over....

[WVNan]

You be careful (but I repeat myself) those electric clippers can be dangerous. I'm glad you are feeling well enough to do the yard work. I'm just a worry wart over you. I know that God's best angel is watching over you and I'm thankful for that.

[LadyX]

Think I'll try to get to bed before the clock strikes 12, Nan... {{{ hugs for you and Jack }}}

Loveya, dear Sistah.....

[WVNan]

Loveya too Sistah. Glad we got to say hi tonight. God bless you greatly.

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the
middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from
it at night." So they created a night watchman position and
hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job
without instruction?" So they created a planning department
and hired two people, one person to write the instructions,
and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is
doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality
Control department and hired two people. One to do the
studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"
So they created the following positions: a time keeper, and
a payroll officer. They then hired two more people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of
these people?" So they created an administrative section and
hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant
Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation
for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must
cutback overall cost."

So they laid off the night watchman.

And that's how government works.

---

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
punished: but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the
lust of uncleanness, and despise government.

Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to
speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels, which are greater
in power and might, bring not railing accusation against
them before the Lord.

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand
not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.
-2 Peter 2:9

[Dubya]

Please teach me, Lord ...
I want to know
Exactly how to pray.
I need some words
Which ones are right?
Please tell me what to say.

I've bowed my head
I have knelt down,
But ... should I be upright?
I've closed my eyes,
I've raised my hands,
Or ... should I fold them tight?

Do I stand up?
Should I sit down?
Dear Lord ... what do you like?
Are lights turned on
Or are they off?
Maybe ... candle light?

Wear my glasses?
Take them off?
Be at my desk or table?
Should I whisper?
Speak out loud?
Do I quote the Bible?

What do you think
About the time?
Do You prefer the dawn?
Should I pray fast,
Or keep it slow?
Better short ... or long?

I'm new at this
What are the rules?
I want to do it right.
How do I know
You'll even hear
That I am in Your sight?

And while I sat there quietly,
Waiting for some sign,
I heard a gentle voice say,
"Oh, dearest child of mine ...
Do you think I really care
About the time of day,
Or whether you are standing up,
Or kneeling when you pray?"

"I don't care about your posture,
Or about the place you choose;
Just open up your soul to me,
I have no other rules.
Tell me what is in your heart,
And tell me what you seek;
Tell me of your sorrows,
And of those things that made you weak."

"Speak to me in private
About what concerns you most;
I know about your good deeds ...
You have no need to boast.
My child, you don't need lessons,
Just talk to me each day;
Tell me anything you want, dear child,
Anyone can pray."

I like your target there.

Heeeheee! We enjoyed shooting those, it was very cathartic.
We can't seem to find any real al Qaedas in Texas so we'll have to settle for Osama targets.
