  1. The Wizard of OZ was just a story of two women fighting over a pair of shoes
  2. I'll be 62 in April (on the 8th) I'll just take my Social Security and ride it out. Been waiting since '08.
  3. And the '80s bad hair. Yikes! https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=80s+hairdos&id=BD0433BE9B54ABDC46FE87B06D59C3146A2BC5E4&FORM=IQFRBA
  4. congratulations, grand babies are so much fun!
  5. Great news, you will be dancing like Fred Astaire in no time.
  6. A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile . The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat.. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people paddling and 1 person steering, while the American team had 7 people steering and 2 people paddling. Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were paddling. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the paddling team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 2 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 2 people paddling the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners and free pens for the paddlers. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices, and bonuses. The pension program was trimmed to 'equal the competition' and some of the resultant savings were channelled into morale boosting programs and teamwork posters. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off one paddler, halted development of a new canoe, sold all the paddles, and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses. The next year, try as he might, the lone designated paddler was unable to even finish the race (having no paddles), so he was laid off for unacceptable performance, all canoe equipment was sold and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India. Sadly, the End. Here's something else to think about: GM has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US. The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while GM rack s up 9 billion in losses. GM folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses. IF THIS WEREN'T SO TRUE, IT MIGHT BE FUNNY!!!

  12. Most High God, We thank You for giving us dominion over the fowl of the air, over the fish of the sea, over the cattle and over every creeping thing, over the cattle and over the cattle and over every creeping thing, and over all the earth! (Gen 1:26) We exercise dominion now over this approaching weather (Irma). We bind all damaging, winds, damaging hail, damaging lightning, flooding, the formation of tornadoes, and all damaging weather. We bind death and destruction in the in the name of Jesus. We assign mighty angles to stand around all cities in the path of the storm, all property and possessions and people in the path of the storm to stand shoulder to shoulder so that no evil may penetrate. Jesus said "Peace, be still" to the storm and it obeyed. We also say, "Peace, be still" to the coming storm in Jesus' name. ( written by Sheila Zelinsky)
  13. I wonder if the Lord was referring to a different calendar. Antiquity, Hellenic, Ethiopian, Babylonian, etc. I hope we see it sooner rather than later
  14. I am getting a sense from the Lord that we need some fasting to strengthen our prayers. If you are with me on this,, help this prayer along with some fasting. Even something as simple as skipping lunch while praying. Fasting is more than missing a meal it involves praying also, See you on the the other side of the RV
