	World's fastest Beagle Deacon may have been the world's fastest Beagle. While lightly tugging at the leash one would never guess the amount of stored energy in one dog. He was faster than a rabbit. Bright brown eyes, angelic upward gaze, slight quiver in his flanks, all silently pleading to be unleashed. Zoom! The click from the release of his collar from the leash was forever accompanied by a burst of energy that jetted Deke six blocks before he slowed to smell the first telephone pole. You know at least one Deacon - the person who leads an exemplary life while in the presence of people to be impressed. But when the leash is unsnapped, whether away from home or when no one is looking, the primal instinct to run wild wins a short argument with a dwarf conscience. The Deacons of this world have placed their honor, marriage and their God in a box. Instead of uniform dependable daily behavior there is conformity only while on the leash. Remove the restraints and undisciplined risk taking rules. Compartmentalization of values, activities, and allegiances leads to disaster, divorce and depression. God did not create us to run wild. Balance and discipline are twin pillars supporting a happy peaceful life. All aspects of life - words, thoughts, attitudes and actions - must be brought into subjection for a healthy relationship with ourselves, others and with our Creator. Want to quit running? You can't reform yourself. Try all the remedies, pills, and Self Help 101 courses and you'll still fail. Help is only available in One who is more powerful than we are. Call on God to give you stability and peace. He is a patient Master.

U.S. Army armored vehicles block a highway following an attack near the northern city of Mosul, August 22, 2004.

Have you ever noticed that it is difficult to find an American Army tank in urban America?

There is a reason!

 

Dick Cheney is one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history. Cheney is a courtly figure who embodies former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's maxim: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick.' Cheney is seen at the Pentagon  in this file photo taken on June 13, 2003.

A lesser  known powerful Vice president was called Al Gore and he was famous for inventing things such as resume's.

 

U.S. Army soldiers search a building after moving forward into a position closer to the Imam Ali Shrine in Najaf, Iraq, Sunday, Aug. 22, 2004.

Several soldiers were recomended for purple hearts by John Kerry because of the skinned knees which they had to endure while kneeling down at rest just after avoiding sniper fire from antagonists (who are of course according to Reuter's and the AP loyal to Al Sadr as are billions of other Iraqis) who think that the so called journalists are representative of Americans in general.

My brother lives in Kingwood (Humble), NE of Houston, and didn't know
anything about the explosion until I sent a panic email. Then he had to
search for info.

hehe! Well, those explosions happen fairly often. They never
got much attention until 911. Now they make news ! :^D

And I do believe they were transported to said Olympics by our fabulous military.

Indeed, the Iraqi Olympic Team was, and they looked very happy keeping company with our fabulous military for the trip to Athens.

The stinking lefty news media are exploiting a difficult situation for the athletes.
