Panzerkanpfenwienne hunter?
Thr Fire/Rescue trucks here in town all have big US Flags flying from the tops of the cab. Gives me a lump in my throat when they scream by.
All Aboard!
Many of the dpet.'s in the DFW area do this as well. Lots of the 'burbs the trucks have a staff at the back of the truck with either a 2x3 or even a 3x5 flag flying. Very cool to see.
Speaking of flags, we spent the day at a renaissance fair. Bittygirl got a pink conical "princess" hat. Spiderboy and I got matching wooden swords, and I got a 3x5 Jolly Roger to fly from the pole in the front yard on special occassions.
Howdy ma'am
ROFL

Did not my heart go with you . . . ? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing? —2 Kings 5:26
While visiting a US Civil War battlefield in Virginia, I was struck by a story about an army unit that arrived too late for a major battle. The troops had stopped to loot a camp abandoned by their enemy. By taking what they felt they needed, they could not accomplish their mission.
That seems to describe the failure of the prophet Elisha’s servant Gehazi, who sought money and clothing from Naaman, a Syrian military commander (2 Kings 5:20-25). Elisha told Naaman how to be cured of his leprosy, but he refused any gift or payment from him (v.16). Gehazi, however, decided to get something for himself (v.20). In a stinging rebuke, Elisha said to Gehazi: “Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing . . . ? Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever” (vv.26-27).
The desire for personal gain can be a snare in our service for the Lord. It may be the subtle lure of recognition or the fatal attraction of financial reward. Any motive that changes our focus from giving to God to getting from Him poses a real spiritual danger.
Greed makes us believe that we deserve what we desire. That leads us down the wrong road. May God give us the wisdom to avoid the sin of Gehazi.
God’s riches fill up our supply,
Whatever we may need,
So we can then be generous,
And not controlled by greed. —Sper
Live to give.
Good morning Mayor.
Heh heh heh
BTW, Rush Limbaugh is coming to Dallas Thursday. His published purpose to do his show live here.
The real reason he's coming is to attend Bittygirl's 2nd birthday extravaganza.
WOW, way cool!!
Rush at Bittygirl's Birthday party! ;)
I know, I know you're kidding.
Bittygirl's birthday! Of course, he's going to be there!
Hi Ya Snippy!
One is reminded of "Strategic Offensive, Tactical Defensive."
One also is reminded that the soul of defense is the counter attack.
The real problem with war is that it kills our very best young men. Too bad the dying can't be confined to the deserving. By the "deserving" I refer to such people as those who voted for Bill Clinton, the vile Kerry, and Ted Kennedy.
Tuesday Morning bump for the Freeper Foxhole.

The longsuffering of our Lord is salvation. —2 Peter 3:15
On March 20, 1980, Mount St. Helens in Washington, a supposedly dormant volcano, began to quake and rumble. The local population was evacuated to a “safe” distance 8 miles away. Later, the side of the mountain began to bulge. Scientists were not alarmed because past research of volcanoes indicated that they never blew sideways.
Then on May 18 the side of Mount St. Helens exploded, shooting tons of debris downhill at the speed of 150 miles per hour. A minute later, the volcano exploded upward with the equivalent power of 500 atomic bombs! Two hundred thirty square miles of forest were devastated and 57 people lost their lives. The scientists had assumed that natural events would continue as before. But they were wrong.
The book of 2 Peter tells us of a future time when a similar misplaced confidence will be destroyed by the fiery end of our world (3:4-7). But the good news is that God will build “new heavens and a new earth” (v.13). He is “not willing that any should perish,” and He is patiently waiting so that more people will find true safety in His Son Jesus (v.9). They need only accept the salvation He offers.
Have you trusted Christ for your safety?

God’s people must point the way if others are to escape God’s judgment.
