We had a company party last nite and brought in the New Year by lighting up the sky.

It started out small...

And then got more interesting...

It took a while to warm up and it sounded just like a jet engine...Maybe that is because that is what it was ... LOL

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Cousin Maynard sez: Crazy, man. Crazy.

[Pippin]

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I'm back for another round of FRepper fun!

I missed everyone even though I could only get on to FR for a verry limited time during the Christmas and New Years holidays.

I have a request for you all.

I need advice on a really important matter.

Now that the election year will be getting into high swing (so will the Bush bashing sessions of the left wingers).

as you all know I have the dubious "pleasure" of living in a blue state. I am surrounded by rabid liberals and Bush-haters.

HELP!!!!

How do I handle myself in a place were my views and opinions are seen as a sign of immaturaty and nonsensicle.

and since most people I have constant contact with are at least ten to twenty years older than me. everyone of them use thier age over me as a weapon to letitimize thier agendas and belittle mine as juvenile.

do I ignore thier comments at like my workplace or do I learn to debate effectively or should I try getting a thicker skin for the next ten months.

Please help me!

Hi, Pip!

My advice?

MOVE!

I'm not being flippant. There's no way I could live among the flaming liberals!

[Pippin]

If I had the money and the means to, I'd move to east Tennessee in a New York minute! :O)

"do I ignore thier comments at like my workplace or do I learn to debate effectively or should I try getting a thicker skin for the next ten months."

A mixture of all of the above.
You need to grow a good "Deafness zone", debate point for point fact against their delusion and such, and sometimes just let it roll off your back.
Depends largely on the situation and who it is.

Noble Plans

Read: Isaiah 32:1-8

A generous man devises generous things, and by generosity he shall stand. —Isaiah 32:8

Bible In One Year: Genesis 4-6; Matthew 2

---

There's a difference between saying, "I would like to visit England sometime" and saying, "I'm planning to visit England next week." One statement expresses a desire; the other indicates definite preparation.

So often we enter a new year with hopes, desires, and resolutions that can be the seeds of positive change. But the key to what actually happens in our lives is in making definite plans. That involves thought, purpose, and effort.

Isaiah wrote about a future time when "a king will reign in righteousness" (Isaiah 32:1). This prophetic passage tells us about the coming rule of Christ, but it also gives us a principle that we who bow before Jesus as King can apply today. Isaiah contrasted the schemer who "devises wicked plans" with the generous or noble person who "devises generous things" (vv.7-8). As Christ's followers, we are to be generous people.

What plans have we made for increased generosity during this new year? Are we only hoping to give more time and attention to others, or have we made some specific commitments? If we want to help a person or a cause financially, have we written the first check?

This is a great time to make noble plans that honor God with our vision and generosity. —David McCasland

In Jesus' name our prayer we raise,
Whose guiding hand has blessed our days;
And may we, Lord, in godly fear
Serve You throughout this coming year. —Anon.

God's plans include you. Do your plans include God?

[Pippin]

Something to think about!

Thanks for the ammo!

[Darksheare]

Welcome.

Sometimes it really isn't worth trying ot debate with leftists because sometimes they just want to be insulting and argumentive.
(Sometimes? *snort*)

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! I didn't lay me little head down until around 2 or so ...

[Pippin]

All the time! LOL!

[TexasCowboy]

That's a beautiful and informative lay-out, Angel.

May the Good Lord bless you in the coming year!

Isaiah is one of the most powerful books in the Old Testament, in my opinion.
It so often is the glue that binds the Old to the New, the Promise to the Fulfillment.
The Holy Bible is a web with no beginning and no end, and the Book of Isaiah provides many of the bridges between the parts.
Thank you, old friend, for His Word.

May God bless you in the coming year.
