THE LETTER FROM CLARKE TO PRESIDENT BUSH

[OESY]

And you thought candidate Kerry had a tough job trying to get out of some of the things he's been saying. Harry Houdini could change positions in three seconds; Hari Kerry needs a several days for the poll results to come back to avoid being buried alive.

Good morning all! You all are doing a lovely job of filling in for Amy.

Linking my Finest Post this morning since it has some poems about Spring

A couple were making plans to go vacationing in Yosemite.
The wife expressed her concern about camping because of
bears and said she would feel more comfortable in a motel.

The husband said that he'd like to camp and to calm her
concerns, they would talk to the park ranger to see what the
likelihood of a bear encounter would be.

The ranger told them, "Well, we haven't seen any grizzlies
in this area so far this year, or black bears, for that
matter."

The wife shrieked, "There's TWO types of bears out here? How
can you tell the difference? Which one is more dangerous?"

The ranger replied, "Well, that's easy, see, if the bear
chases you up the tree and it comes up after you, it's a
BLACK bear. If it SHAKES the tree until you fall out, it's a
grizzly."

The motel room was quite nice.

What fears do you struggle with?

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the
gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the
afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; who
hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not
according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world
began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our
Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer
these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom
I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of
me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good
thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us. -2 Timothy 1:6
