All Right! It's now official. The presstitutes have got two, count 'em, one, two johns. No arrests are expected according to vice officers

John, let's see now, July to November, equals 16 weeks of material to write about. This is gonna be so much fun.

I like the graphic layout you created dutchess. johnjohn will fight til November for face time in front of the cameras.

Make-up! We need make-up over here!

Picking Edwards is Kerry's way of showing he's serious about reaching out -- a privileged billionaire reaching out to a less privileged millionaire. Very touching. (Who says Kerry's out of touch with average, everyday yacht owners?)

ROFL!!!

BRAVO!!!

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Dutchess.

Inner Strength

Read: Ephesians 3:14-21

[I pray] that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. —Ephesians 3:16

Bible In One Year: Job 36-37; Acts 15:22-41

A large company uses suction to extract contaminating substances from steel drums. Powerful pumps draw the materials out of the barrels, but the workers must carefully regulate the force of these pumps. If they take out too much air, the drums will collapse like paper cups, because the outer pressure will exceed the inner pressure.

Likewise, when adversity and hardship come into our lives, God must empower us from within or we will be unable to withstand the pressures from without. True, we get solid support from loved ones and Christian friends, but it is our spiritual inner man,“strengthened with might through His Spirit”(Ephesians 3:16), that sustains us and keeps us from crumpling.

The Holy Spirit works to strengthen us and renew our minds as we read the Bible and pray. If we neglect the Scriptures, seldom talk with the Lord, and stop fellowshiping with other believers, we’ll grow weak and vulnerable. Then we will be unable to withstand the pressures of temptation or trouble.

Let’s ask the Lord to develop our inner strength so that when life’s blows and burdens press upon us we will not cave in. —Dave Egner

Help us, O Lord, when troubles come
To trust Your Word and not succumb,
And help us not to turn aside
But in Your strength and love abide. —D. De Haan

The power of Christ within you is greater than the pressure of troubles around you.

Bravo! Very well done you two.
Dutchess this has to be your best presentation so far.

[Pippin]

Edwards. Great campaigner. Just couldn't drum up many votes. But it all comes back to the bottom line. Which is? The problem with choosing Edwards is that he doesn't bring balance to the ticket. It lacks that certain diversity every ticket should have: At least one candidate qualified to be president.

Hi Mo1. You were bright and early this morning! Good to see ya! (plus the fundraiser looks like its going great...wish I had time like I used to to spend there but sigh... too much to do...too little time)

[deadhead]

Thank you all. My cousin, a huge Bush supporter called me as soon as the news was out about Kerry/Edwards. We both agreed that there is no way American's are going to elect this left/very left duo :-) He lives in Ohio, I am in New York. He works with a bunch of liberals, lol...thinks he should relocate to Alabama.

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, John and dutchess. Great job, once again!

[The Mayor]

Yet, he was pompous and condescending -- he came across as a real snob. He was patronizing. He loved to talk down. And being disdainful, as if others were beneath him or somehow unworthy.

sounds just like every other self righteous democrat in politics..

[The Mayor]

Great job on the layout and presentation Dutchess!

[LadyX]

What an outstanding presentation, dutchess!
Your illustrations are so effective in carrying John's Latest Gem!

Sorry I couldn't be here earlier- -

[LadyX]

Note to 'Dear John:'

Doncha think this Phase-for-the-Dazed is interesting?!

One is reminded of a circus poster hawking The Greatest Show on Earth - or unreasonable facsimile thereof . . .

Just think - in a couple of weeks we'll be treated to The Big Shew at the Democrat's Convention where we can see in person The Great Flip-Flopper - JOHN f KERREEE - also known as Big John!!

Appearing, too, will be his new sidekick, Little John - -

this big

I get this picture of it being described afterward as Curly, Curly and Mo - - - LOL - let's reserve our front row seats early!!

Gotta go feed the elephants, John...

Love,
LadyX
