Todays thought will be a little long. Its an update and a copy of an e-mail I received.

First, my update. My Floor is about to pop. Lil' Floor is due any day now and I am so excited. I ofcourse will be there when she was born as I was when Sniper Jr was born. Which brings me to an update on Sniper Jr. He got his first haircut the other day. 13 months old. Let me tell you, if anybody ever argued before that he was not his fathers son, you can't now. He looks just like his daddy. And spoilt rotten to the core. He's just a doll baby and seeing him and when I see Lil' Floor when she is born makes me all the more blessed that Floor and Sniper are in our lives. There is so much joy when we are around them and hopefully, they feel the same way about us.

On with the update...my little bro and Red are apart. There is a whole lot to that story that I'm not going to get into, but they are no more. I think it was for the best...for both of them...and am glad that they were able to find this out before they got married. Nothing against either one of them...but I've been there before and am glad that they don't have to go through that.

I guess that's about all going on here. Nothing else very major has happened. The rest of my family is all good. Now, for the e-mail.


In light of the many perversions and jokes we send to one another for a
laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's
not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson
asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding the
attacks on Sept. 11).

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said "I
believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've
been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and
to get out of our lives.

And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can
we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He
leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I
think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body
found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we
said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school the Bible says
thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as
yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might
damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an
expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they
dont know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers,
their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I
think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world
is going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question
what the Bible says.

Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire
but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice
about sharing.

Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through
cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and
workplace.


Are you laughing?


Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what THEY
will think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about
what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one
will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back
and complain about what bad shape the world is in!
