"Contagion? That's the answer!" - Dr. Charles Arntzen

Edible vaccine supporter and head of the Biodesign Institute for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, Dr. Charles Arntzen has recently responded to questions about the issue of overpopulation with the following sardonic remarks, “Has anybody seen Contagion? That’s the answer! Go out and use genetic engineering to create a better virus [to wipe out the population]".

Foraging - Feeding Your Family When You Have NOTHING

One or two of these books in your hands might be worth a bag or two of potatoes.
And maybe it will be worth much, much more.......

Quote du Jour

Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is.

We NEED Men.....



Once upon a time, men wore pants, and wore them well. Women rarely had to open doors and little old ladies never crossed the street alone. Men took charge because that's what they did. But somewhere along the way, the world decided it no longer needed men. Disco by disco, latte by foamy non-fat latte, men were stripped of their khakis and left stranded on the road between boyhood and androgyny. But today, there are questions our gender-less society has no answer for. The world sits idly by as cities crumble, children misbehave and those little ladies remain on one side of the street. For the first time since bad guys, we need heros. We need grown-ups. We need men to put down the plastic fork, step away from the salad bar and unite the world from the tracks of complacency. It's time to get your hands dirty. It's time to answer the call of manhood. It's time to wear the pants.

Quote du Jour - Jim Gaffigan

"I watch the faces of single people in their twenties after I bring up that I ‘have children.’
I imagine them taking a small step backward as if to avoid contagion,
with a look of ‘Sorry to hear that’ on their face.
Like I naively volunteered to contract leprosy, forever quarantining myself
from the world of having fun by having children.
Well, why not?
I guess the reasons against having more children always seem uninspiring and superficial.
What exactly am I missing out on?
Money?
A few more hours of sleep?
A more peaceful meal?
More hair?
These are nothing compared to what I get from these five monsters who rule my life.
I believe each of my five children has made me a better man.
So I figure I only need another thirty-four kids to be a pretty decent guy.
Each one of them has been a pump of light into my shriveled black heart.
I would trade money, sleep, or hair for a smile from one of my children in a heartbeat.
Well, it depends on how much hair.”

What Are You Carrying?



This is Shrek the sheep. He became famous several years ago when he was found after hiding out in caves for six years. Of course, during this time his fleece grew without anyone there to shorn (shave) it. When he was finally found and shaved, his fleece weighed an amazing sixty pounds. Most sheep have a fleece weighing just under ten pounds, with the exception usually reaching fifteen pounds, maximum. For six years, Shrek carried six times the regular weight of his fleece. Simply because he was away from his shepherd.
This reminds me of John 10 when Jesus compares Himself to a shepherd, and His followers are His sheep. Maybe it’s a stretch, but I think Shrek is much like a person who knows Jesus Christ but has wandered. If we avoid Christ’s constant refining of our character, we’re going to accumulate extra weight in this world—a weight we don’t have to bear.
When Shrek was found, a professional sheep shearer took care of Shrek’s fleece in twenty-eight minutes. Shrek’s sixty pound fleece was finally removed. All it took was coming home to his shepherd.
I believe Christ can lift the burdens we carry, if only we stop hiding. He can shave off our ‘fleece’—that is, our self-imposed burdens brought about by wandering from our Good Shepherd.
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

SURPRISE!


BOYS!!!!  I don't get them.

My son runs up to me and says, "I have a surprise for you!"  He is grinning ear to ear.  I turn towards him, he thrusts a half dead fly right up to my face and then throws it at me.  I, of course, scream like a little girl.

After sending him to bed and calming my silly little heart I realize that I overreacted, but....

WHAT ON EARTH!?!?!

I Guess I Need More Chicken Broth.....

Scientists Will Create A Deadly New Flu Strain, Just To Prove They Can
"Fouchier is the same scientist who, two years ago, adapted the highly pathogenic H5N1 flu strain so that it could be passed from human to human, which it cannot do in its natural form."

Blow Your Horn!


But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.
Ezekiel 33:6

His Beloved Bride.....

"Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom."

Ezekiel 16:8-13
