"Here Was A Man"
(To be spoken--Johnny Cash-like--over a lonely keyboard version of "Joy to the World")
"Here was a man...a man who was born in a small village, the son of a peasant woman. He grew up in another small village. Until He reached the age of thirty, He worked as a carpenter; then, for three years, He was a travelling minister. But He never travelled more than two hundred miles from where He was born, and where He did go, He usually walked. He never held political office, He never wrote a book, He never bought a home, He never had a family, He never went to college, and He never set foot inside a big city, yet...here was a man.
Here was a man...though He never did one of those things that you usually associate with greatness, He had no credentials but Himself. He had nothing to do with this World, except through the Divine Purpose that brought Him to this World.
While He was still a young man, the Tide of Popular Opinion turned against Him. Most of His FRiends ran away...one of them denied Him, one of them betrayed Him and turned Him over to his Enemies. Then, He went through the mockery of a Trial and was nailed to a Roman Cross between two thieves. And even while He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had in this World, and that was His robe, His Purple Robe. When He was dead, He was taken down from the cross and laid in a borrowed grave, provided by a compassionate FRiend.
More than Nineteen Centuries have come and gone, and today He's the Centerpiece of the Human Race, Our Leader, and the Column to Human Destiny. And I think I'm well within the mark when I say that All of the Armies that Ever Marched, All of the Navies that Ever Sailed, All of the Legislative Bodies that Ever Sat, and All of the Kings that Ever Reigned...All of Them Put Together have not affected the Life of Man on this Earth so Powerfully as that One Solitary Life...
Here was a man."

"Next year, Warner appears to face little challenge. Party leaders say he will not face a primary challenge, and no Democratic challenger has stepped forward."
The GOP Party Leaders can BITE ME!!! Warner's being Retired from his Senate Seat this Spring/Summer...get used to it, RINOs who say otherwise!!
FReegards...MUD
Well: If that statement doesn't fit the pic of you wearing the RW&B greasepaint, I don't know what does. {g}
It's *somewhat* obvious you're busy working yourself into quite a lather, Son.
I'll just get outa your way; if it'd be all the same with you?
..."how does MrsR do it!" is all I'm left wondering. :o)
Kids really make you dig deep for answers, don't they? You came up with a good one!
Great work, PKM...DemonRAT Senators Leahy (D-VT) and Daschle (D-SD) are Lowlife Socialist Scum and their Pro-Terrorist Anti-American Politics must be taken HEAD-ON!!
Let's Rock...MUD
Let the RATS scream!! Let the RATS holler!! We shall drowned out their ineffectual whinin' with our Righteous Din!!! BiPartisanship is fer LOSERS...unless the Leftist Twits decide to join us in Re-Impeaching the EX-Traitor-in-Chief and putting his TREASONOUS A$$ in Prison fer the rest of his God-forsaken life!!
"Will never happen."
Oh, Ye of Little Faith, please come back and join our Jihad fer Justice when you relocate yer cajones.
LOL and FReegards, my FRiend...MUD
That's already been taken care of, my FRiend...for the next 21 days, I shall remain in a 24/7 lather!! And T-Mac and me are gonna go nose-to-nos...(8^D!!
"I'll just get outta your way; if it'd be all the same with you?"
If you don't want Justice fer that Soicalist PUNK Terry McAwful, that might be wise...Justice SHALL NOT be denied!!
"..."how does MrsR do it!" is all I'm left wondering."
Remind me to tell you about it via FReepMail...LOL!! Last night, when I returned home after "the shearing", she just started laughing like I haven't seen her laugh in WAY TOO LONG!! She really is a special lady...you and her and the RedHead will get along famously.
FReegards...MUD
That, my FRiend, is an extremely profound statement that we could initiate a 500+Post Thread about!! So much of my daily motivation can be directly-linked to my looking at the World through my children's eyes. They have somehow became my primary reason for existence and permeate everything I do or will do in the Future...and that's saying quite a bit considering I was raised by the two best parents to ever walk this Earth, IMHO, and they had somehow brainwashed me into believing that the World Revolved Around MUD!!
Very astute comment there, my FRiend...methinks yer children are blessed to have such a mama and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you in person.
Utmost FReegards...MUD
Yes, my longtime FRiend, it certainly is. However, take heart because I have declared "T-MaxxMYbeech!!" so he's a "DeadPUNKwalkin'" and don't even know it yet...LOL!! When Mudboy Slim and the JusticeSeekers' premiere CD goes quintuple-platinum, remind me to stop by OkieTown and give them PhiKappers a FRee Concert they'll never fergit...I'll even buy the kegs!!
Keep up the good work...and tell Paul Cruce that MUD's lookin' fer him!!
FReegards...SigmaChiMUD
Stop by Norman anytime! Am sure my son's fraternity would love to host you guys! Mention keg and you will have a whole house at your beck and call!
Someday our children are going to live in a Country where truth really does matter and the liars like daschle/clintons/leahy/dodd/mcauliffe, et al will be sent packing! That is my Christmas wish for this year!
I am most flattered by your kind words. I do the very best I can for my children, they are very special gifts from God and it makes all the "sacrifices" worthwhile. And mine keep me on my toes...the things they come up with!!! I always enjoy your posts about the things you do with your children; methinks your children are quite lucky to have a dad so involved in their lives.
Looking forward to meeting you too!
P.S. Our parents must have been cut from the same cloth!...LOL!
You be the Judge...
Interesting that the Socialist "Boston Globe" broke this story...MUD
Who Wouldda Thunk It?!!
