In addition to accumulating knowledge, it is important to maintain distinctions between categories. Let me clear up some confusion...

Goats are being trained to operate the World Wide Web. They are particularly effective in communicating with people in Minnesota.

Violence within the Solar System is blood-curdling, as well as damaging to milk products.

I am not a rock star, I have discovered a vein of spiders in my geological research, which is very rich.

Glad I could be of help.

Wandering, looking for something.
So far I've turned up zip.

Sorry I got back to this about the same time you're leaving.
Safe trip, see you tomorrow.

[Lady Jag]

Have a great evening. Nice chatting with you!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Happy Victoria Day, everybody.

The Power of Words

My tongue can cause death or life
Bitterness, anger and often pain
Can cut through like a sharp knife
O cause me to stop.. pray ... refrain.

Your words held comfort and healing
They even calmed the stormy sea
May I never be so unfeeling
Or use words that cause hurt and misery.

O tame my tongue, grant discipline
When words of anger suddenly spurt -
Forgive, when I commit a verbal sin
May my words help - instead of hurt.

Too late I learn to say `I'm sorry'
Harsh words fall like blackened rain
O use my words for Your sweet glory
Let not my expressions be in vain.

Thank You for the art of expression
Keep me sensitive to those I meet
May my tongue learn the blessed lesson
Of speaking life - not death and defeat.

Traveling On My Knees

Last night I took a journey
To a land across the seas.
I didn't go by ship or plane~
I traveled on my knees.

I saw so many people there
In bondage to their sin,
And Jesus told me I should go,
That there were souls to win.

But I said "Jesus, I can't go
To lands across the seas."
He answered quickly, "Yes, you can
By traveling on your knees."

He said "You pray, I'll meet the need.
You call, and I will hear.
It's up to you to be concerned
For lost souls far and near."

And so I did; knelt in prayer,
Gave up some hours of ease,
And with the Savior by my side,
I traveled on my knees.

As I prayed on, I saw souls saved
And twisted persons healed,
I saw God's workers strength renewed
While laboring in the field.

I said, "Yes Lord, I'll take the job.
Your heart I want to please.
I'll heed Your call and swiftly go
By traveling on my knees."

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL! Hi AC, good to see you. I missed ya!

Did you watch GW? I missed the last part.

Now I just got the spinners telling us what he meant. I'm starting to hate them.

[Victoria Delsoul]

How come you get your own day?

Hiya Sam!!! Well, I have connections. ;-)

[Alberta's Child]

Good to see you too, Victoria.

I saw most of the President's address, and I refuse to watch any of the post-event spin. LOL.

I think he ought to do this kind of thing more often -- he comes across very well in prepared remarks like that.

I agree.

I turned it off already. I can't stand the spinners, LOL.

[Alberta's Child]

I turned it off already. I can't stand the spinners, LOL.

That's the spirit. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, my tolerance level isn't that high. I can take so much, you know.

[Alberta's Child]

Yes, I hear ya. I think someone ought to lay a beating on these folks. Hmmm . . . I think my youngest nephew is up for the job . . .

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, that's so cute, it reminds me of this graphic…
