I'm glad the conference went well. Right now you are probably having a great time at the Patriots Corner. :-)

Hi Tulip. Yeah, I'm having a great time watching the talking heads and Democrats' sad faces in the evening news.
To: Victoria Delsoul
LOL! I know quite a few people who are unhappy about Tuesday. They were so sure that Kerry would win.
To: tuliptree76
Oh, I know. They're mad and use any excuse to start fighting, LOL. Liberal losers.

Happy Saxophone Day!
On a personal note, one of the most enjoyable evenings my wife and I spent
was listening to a saxophone-heavy combo playing Swing music at Le Mistral,
a restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina. Absolutely dreamy. Stupendous!

The Good Atheist
Read: Luke 10:25-37
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Romans 13:9
Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 37-39; Hebrews 3
When a man learned that an elderly woman could no longer buy her medicine and pay her rent, he came to her rescue. He took her into his home and treated her as if she were his mother. He gave her a bedroom, prepared the food for her meals, bought her medicine, and transported her whenever she needed medical attention. He continued to care for her when she could no longer do much for herself. I was amazed when I learned that this good man was a zealous atheist!
The Jews were shocked by Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan, because He put him in a positive light. They despised the Samaritans the way I tend to look down on atheists.
A lawyer had tested Jesus by asking how he could inherit eternal life. Jesus asked him what the law said. The man answered that he must love the Lord with all his heart and his neighbor as himself (Luke 10:25-27). He asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" (v.29). In Jesus' story, the Samaritan was the neighbor who showed kindness to the wounded man.
Jesus wanted this parable to challenge His listeners. The stories of the Good Samaritan and the good atheist remind us of this high standard of God's Word: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Romans 13:9). Herb Vander Lugt
To love my neighbor as myself
Is not an easy task,
But God will show His love through me
If only I will ask. Sper
Needy people need our helping hand.

I have a question. Several weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh was talking about a mosque in Mosul, I believe. I could be wrong. It's a mosque where the terrorists were hanging out and we had a big battle with them, etc. They were begging us to bomb the mosque but we refrained. After they gave up and left the mosque, our soldiers went in there and found a bunch of dead women and children. They were kidnapped off the streets and held hostage in the mosque, hoping we would bomb it, making for great propaganda. The terrorists didn't know what to do with these women and children so they just killed them all. Some of the women had been raped.
Can anyone help me find this story? I've searched Google and FR and have come up unsuccessful.

Ballet dancers, as a rule,
Dont get paid while theyre at school..
That is why this special group,
Is acting like a scouting troop.
Turning up some pocket change,
In hopes some funding to arrange.
If you are going to stay a while,
Give us a whirl, and buy a smile!
