I think Christie is almost as liberal as Harry Reid.

Depending on who the Republicans trot out for us to see, I plan to vote Libertarian. I don’t agree with all that the Libertarians do, but the GOP has become the brother to the Big Government DemocRATS.

I’m tired of reaching across the aisle.

I want to try Cruz Control!!!

On Open Mic, I may ask for people to share their experiences with ObamaCare. I haven’t had any experience with it and I have not heard from the Insurance Co that has my Medicare Supplemental.

As long as I have subjects, I plan on continuing with Open Mic Days.

That’s why I pray for patience..I have accomplished so much lately because I took many , many breaks and did not give up..

I did not let my old ways rule..They don’t work anymore..It is so easy to get discouraged when everything takes so much longer and some things one just can’t do. ..but I can do some things very well with patience and persistence.

I'm Sorry you have Tinnitus, too, Dear Polly!
Mine Sounds Like a Chorus of Crickets, so when it's at its Worst I Play a CD of Nature Sounds that Helps to Mask it.

My Husband's Tinnitus is a Low, Even Tone, and a Fan Running in the Background Masks his.

I have it from getting old and shooting guns.

I Remember Reading that the Actor, William Shatner, got Tinnitus from a Loud Explosion on the Set of "Star Trek."
There Sure are a Lot of Causes and Types of Tinnitus.
My Husband doesn't Know how he got his.

if just one boom can cause tinnitus, then we should all stay far away from Star Trek sets.

A New Kitten! What does she Look Like? Is she a Solid Color, or with Mittens and Vest, or Calico?
I Love Kitties So Much, and still Hope to have One Someday.
My Last Kitty, Fang-Face, was a Solid Black Color, Very Pretty, and with the Sweetest, Most Gentle Temperment.

Occasionally I will See a Wild Tom here in the Country, and we actually Trapped 2 not too Long Ago in the Skunk Traps we Set Up Periodically.
But they Took Off like a Bullet when my Husband Opened the Cage Doors, Lol!

Amen to that, Dear Amy!

If the Republicans Try to Foist Christie or another Ultra-RINO off on us, I'm not Voting for them.

Thank you to Everyone for the Pings and Posts!

Thank you, Miss Mittens. I really enjoy having you post to louie-wolf.

I Loved your Posts on the Freeper's Finest Threads,

Thanks, kitty-mitts. We all sure had fun, didn't we?

Especially to our Dear Lady Maggie, and have Fond Memories of those Days.

She could be so funny. And she really knew how to put
wolfie in his place. LOL
Gosh, I think about her often. And 'Who', another sweet lady.
Those were the days my friend.......

I, too, Miss Billie, and Hope to See her Again Sometimes.

Maybe she'll just happen to see this thread and know that we'd like to have her with us again.

Er......you're just as pretty as ever. (((((Kitty Mittens)))))

I will never give up on REAL Books! I am on Page 931 of War and Peace right now! LOL!
I love the weight of a book, the feel of a book, the smell of a book, the sound when you turn the pages.

They are also good for holding down tarps and raising up TV’s!

Re-Creation

October 24, 2013

Chris Simpson’s life used to be consumed by hate. After he and his wife lost their first child, he was confused and angry. He directed that anger toward various ethnic groups and covered his body with hate-filled tattoos.

After listening to his son mimic his hatred, though, Simpson knew he needed to change. He watched a Christian movie about courage and began attending church. One month later he was baptized as a follower of Jesus Christ. Simpson is now a new person and is leaving the hate behind him, which includes the painful and expensive process of having his tattoos removed.

The apostle Paul knew something about this kind of deep transformation. He hated Jesus and persecuted His followers (Acts 22:4-5; 1 Cor. 15:9). But a personal encounter and spiritual union with Christ (Acts 9:1-20) changed all of that, causing him to reevaluate his life in light of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. This union with Christ made Paul a new person. The old order of sin, death, and selfishness was gone and a new beginning, a new covenant, a new perspective and way of living had come.

Following Jesus is not turning over a new leaf; it is beginning a new life under a new Master.

For Further Thought

What is the evidence that my union with Christ
has transformed my old humanity? Are there
indicators that I am not the me I used to be?
Being in Christ is not rehabilitation, it’s re-creation.

Read: 2 Corinthians 5:12-21

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17
Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 3-5; 1 Timothy 4

My friend (the one who died in my arms in a helicopter over a volcano this past July) had a cell phone, a laptop, and a kindle back at the resort. I was able to crack the code on the cell phone and the laptop, but the kindle was locked up tighter than the nuclear football.

I shipped all her clothes and stuff back to her next of kin. The cell and laptop can probably be reused, but the kindle is destined to be an excellent door stop.

Dancing Together

To play a song together, that lasts for all your life,
It helps that you can be good friends, although she is your wife.
They played this at our wedding. It was a merry tune.
And we’ve been dancing ever since, a lifelong honeymoon.

The music’s got some age on it. It’s slightly out of style,
We’ve added grace notes through the years, in keeping with a smile.
We danced the dance together. We walked together too.
I’d not have stayed so long to dance, except to dance with you.

The time has gone so swiftly, I guess we had our fun,
I know we’ll stay together, even when the dancing’s done.
So save the last dance for me. We know the music well,
And give a kiss at music’s end, this party has been swell.
