How the heck do you wipe out on I-20?

Subject: The Promise


There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his
money and was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more
than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife,

"Now listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the
casket with me. Because I wanna take my money to the afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he
died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.

Well one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was
sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they
finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the
casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!'

She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the
casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it
away.

So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that
money in there with that man. "

She said, "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was
gonna put that money in that casket with him."

"You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with the man?"

" I sure did," said the wife. "'I wrote him a check."

Good morning Y'all

[sweetliberty]

I don't know. They haven't given any details except to say that the bus crashed into a guard wall I think it was.

[sweetliberty]

It was a bus full of junior high and high school kids. It was a pillar they hit. Here's the link:

Bus Crash near Terrel Texas(looks bad)

I'm thinking he fell asleep at the wheel .. It happens with regulars car ups here a lot

Fox News is showing the accident .. looks pretty nasty

[sweetliberty]

"Fall asleep at the wheel .."

It had only been on the road for 2 hours.

[sweetliberty]

LOL! Smart woman.

[sweetliberty]

Sounds like almost everybody that wasn't killed was injured, some very seriously. The death toll could rise. Right now they're saying 6 confirmed dead and 35 injured. There were apparently 47 on the bus.

FOFLOL. Nice start to the week. :)

It had only been on the road for 2 hours.

Yes .. but how long was the driver awake .. and how much sleep did he/she have

Good morning, sweet....trying to catch up on reading over the last cup of coffee so I can get some bookkeeping job done today.

Miss a day and it takes forever! LOL. But I wanted to comment on the Louisiana firemen setting fires....this really blows me away. I have a nephew who is a fireman in So-Cal and the last go-round with the fires and looting and beatings in the Watts area, he was a part of the crews trying to put fires out while dodging bullets!

Of all people, firemen, even volunteer firemen, know more than the average joe about how fires can get away....I say throw the book at them.

And as for the 'woman forester' in Colorado, she needs prison for life, no parole. Its time to quit molly-coddling these losers.

That article on the Bible and the Apocalypse was a good read--at least interesting information....you were quite right to tell the guy to discuss instead of being a jerk. Yesterday I heard some interesting information regarding religion on America today. Seems as though a Denver seminary professor told a reporter that 'churches are not consumer oriented enough', was one thing---wonder if that was a hint for Microsoft to get to work trying to 'out God God'?

There was a poll of some type done that showed that 1 in 7 churchgoers change denominations yearly. Another stat said 1 in 6 rotates regularly through any number of congregations.

From the article you linked, I thought it was notable that in NY, I believe it was, that lawyers and other professionals were talking to the minister or rabbi about if the end was near--makes one wonder if this is based on their believing they can live a life serving Satan, rather than God, and at the last possible moment, tell God he's acceptable to them?

What is your opinion regarding Jews being God's chosen people? While I'm certainly no expert by any stretch, I've come to see them as being the 'chosen ones' to be used by him as a vehicle to show all his powers, desires, etc.

There was one other thing from that story....that is the concept that mankind can destroy his world without God. I find that to be arrogant on the writers' part --without God, man would not exist; without God, man would not have the brain they do; without those two things, 'we' wouldn't be here to try to screw his Creation up! IMO.

I was gonna ask who the fella was in your Post 75--sure reminds me of pictures we've seen of Hank Williams, Jr., when he'd hang out in Montana.....he has a big spread in the Big Hole Valley. Apparently, it is the "T" man!!!

"It had only been on the road for 2 hours"

How terrible. Who knows, he may have just returend from another trip.

[Rowdee]

Hopefully, will see y'all later this afternoon or early evening....to the books, to the books, to the books, books, books!!

[sweetliberty]

Well that's always a consideration. Hopefully we will know soon. They will be talking to survivors to try and find out what happened. With as many witnesses as there likely are, it probably won't remain a mystery for long.

Funny, I don't find the possibility of what Barney might do in the Oval Office nearly as bad as what x42 did in the Oval Office. LOL President Shifts Focus From Daughters to Dogs

It is a NYT piece. You have to register to read it. Cute story ..... well, at least it is as cute as a Times writer can manage .... LOL

[Darlin']

Nice picture, loddy. Thanks :)

Bush, Lawmakers Want Bin Laden, Anthrax Killer

[Mo1]

Yes we'll find out sooner or later ..

The reason why I mention the falling alseep is because many drivers work very odd shifts and if the have a family .. sometimes they down get the sleep that is needed

Another reason I mentioned it is when Loddy mentioned the read was straight as an arrow

Up here .. right before cars get on the bridge from the Jersey side there are a lot of accidents of cars hitting the piller .. many of the times it is because they have fallen asleep at the wheel ...

The buses & cars travel a high speeds .. and if the driver dosed for a second and started to lose control it would be hard for him/her to regain control of such a huge bus

But that is all just a possibility .. we'll hear soon what happen

[sweetliberty]

LOL! Yes, it is T-man.

As far as the Jews, yes I do believe that they are still God's chosen people who will eventually find redemption and accept Christ as their Messiah. Many already have and the Messianic movement is growing all the time. When God said to Abraham "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" I believe that was a promise for all generations. God knew that His people would reject Him, but that made provision for the "grafting in" of the Gentiles. I believe that Romans 11:24 speaks of the restoration of Israel.

"For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree ?"
