Good Morning http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sunflower.gif Terri, Rad & http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif

I'm rushing around getting last minute stuff together ~ it's raining once again and I have a jillion things to do. *I hope it isn't dreary and raining like this tomorrow when I leave for Leesburg. *I hate driving in the rain. :turquoiserolleyes: *

Aberfoyle ~ what fun you and Laurie and I could have on a "marathon" shopping trip. *I'll pick up Saber on the way and we'll have a ball. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/elefant.gif

Terri ~ don't let Bobby forget to bring the flag when you all move. *(Just a little private joke we used to use when we left Miami). :o http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif

I'm so jealous that I won't be there for the "grand opening". *If my SIL doesn't have a computer hooked up I'll have to go find one to rent. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *Be sure to leave plenty of bread crumbs for me.

The fires in AZ seem to be as bad as the ones in Colorado. *Just heard that two of them were going to merge. :o

Off to check out the newzzzzzzz. *CYL

Rad, that was just for those of us who go to bed. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif I sure didn't stay there very long last night. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/shake.gif

RIM, we will bring the http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag17.gif to lead the parade to the new spot. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif We're supposed to have wind today and I hope that doesn't hurt the fire effort. They have 60% containment now on Hayman. You have a wonderful time shopping, visiting, and just generally having fun. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I found something sort of cool. It's a history of the Arab/Israeli conflict in a very nice presentation. This may take awhile to load if you are on a dialup but it's worth the wait. History in a Nutshell (http://www.conceptwizard.co m/conflict.html)

Mornin' All! Well, it's still a beautiful weekend. Last night some friends and I went to a festival held at our waterfront park (one of them, anyway) - all day for &#365, and great entertainment. Better Than Ezra played last night, and they were so cool! They dedicated one song to our local boys out on the ships fighting the terror war, then asked for a member of the audience who could play one of their songs from start to finish to come up on stage and play with them - very cool!

Those AZ fires are looking pretty scary - very close to where my grandmother was living by herself for 15 years - thank God she moved in with my parents last summer! I still have a lot of family and friends near there, as well as family and friends near the CO fires. I'm praying for LOTS of rain!

I have to go read some about this conspiracy theory. From what I've heard, it's the most absurd, asinine theory in history.

I'm on the run...just a couple quick things!

RIM! I'm gonna miss you girlfriend! Have a simply MAHVELOUS time! We'll be anxious for your return.

SueElise...Better Than Ezra played a free concert at Purdue a few months ago. My son went and said it was the best concert he'd ever attended!

I'll be back later....busy, busy, busy right now.

Good Morning! Happy Saturday in the Precinct RIM is right, just about anywhere in SW Florida, it is indeed raining again (insert smilie with an umbrella, here! ) How am I going to ever practice for the Mile Swim BSA that I am going to attempt in 2 weeks when it rains constantly. We have received a total of about 8 inches the last 2 weeks or so. We need the rain, but it wouldn't hurt to spread it out instead of receiving it in one lump over a month or two. Dry, flooded, dry, flooded.

Terri, I believe the creek already rose near RIM judging from the crayfish in her swale; however, I hope the transition goes well tonight. We don't want to be losing any of our canine superheroes (private Moderator joke) http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/28.gif

Today is a family day. Got up and made the wife and older boys french toast, wife made coffee. Going to a baby party for a playmate of our (almost) 2 year-old son this afternoon. Tomorrow we are going to a shower for my dad's girlfriend's daughter in the People's Republic of South Florida (Broward County). Therefore, I really can bring the flag back to the "right" coast. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Probably will be down there all day, but will sign in at night tomorrow if we don't get back too late (not that there is such a thing as "late" with these conservababe/foxes). It is a great day to not be outside here. May have to let an inch or two of water out of the pool.

Have fun, relax, enjoy your weekend. Don't panic when you wake up tomorrow and everything in here looks different. Either it is because the Ikonboard changed successfully, or because you forgot to put in your contacts. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/JEDIpinkietoo.gif

Good afternoon all! I know I'm late today, but on the weekends mom takes the computer hostage for long periods of time.
Yesterday I drew from Ephesians for my sermon. There was a bit of a discussion about it, and the general consensus (and my opinion) was that it boiled down to one thing. Men and women must be willing to submit to each other, not always, but not never.

And that brings me to my sermon today, which is a follow-up to yesterday. The reading is from Genesis 2:21-25.

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man."
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
The man and the woman were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Here ends the reading.

So what is the point? Beyond showing how woman came into existence, it also demonstrates that man and woman are to be equal. If you read back, you find that the whole purpose of this was to create a suitable helper, or partner, for Adam. And the fact that she came from his side is significant. She did not come from his foot so he may walk over her, nor from his head so that she may be over him. No, she came from the side, so they may be side by side partners, that they be equals.

That is why I support the true feminism movement, which seeks to elevate women and keep women at a status of euality with men in our society. I do not support the feminazi movement, which would have us believe that Eve came out of Adam's head. Nor do I support the machissmo groups that treat women as if they came out of Adam's foot for him to walk all over her. Occassionally there are times for women to be submissive, as there are times for men to be submissive as well. But on the whole, both should be equal.

Now, can we carry this equality thing over to race? Of course, and we must. It isn't simply a male/female thing, it is a white/black/hispanic/chinese/whateverelse issue as well. We have five basic colors to define people with.
White, black, red, yellow, brown. Adam came out of dirt, if you'll remember correctly. Those same five colors of people are the five colors of dirt. Adam was not strictly white, he was everything, as was Eve. We're all from the same multi-colored soil, of the same blood. Therefore, we are all equal in creation. God sees us all the same.

So, whether we are male or female, black or white, red or yellow or brown, we are all of the same family. We are all part of mankind. That is the only race that exists, in truth. And until we get past this divisiveness of "African-American" or "Hispanic-American" or what-have-you, and we refer to each other as simply fellow human beings, there will be no peace, and no true equality can ever be reached.

May God shine his face upon you and bless you always, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.

Well, hope everyone is having a good day! I know I will be shortly! I'm going to see Boots Randolph at 8http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif0 tonight, and dinner is at 6http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif0, so chances are I'll be back sometime tomorrow or maybe not until Monday (Mom might take the computer all day tomorrow).

G'day Terri and all.

Been paying a LOT more attention to my consulting business than political boards for the last couple months. The current contract still has a couple weeks to go so I'm staying busy.

Was just doing bookkeeping and payroll so thought I'd stop by briefly and say "hello."

"They're dropping like flies." My board, then Nick's, now Tiki's (again). Wonder if it's contageous.

Looks like everyone went fishing today! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrinking.gif A couple of us have been working our little fingers to the bone on the new board, especially one of us who isn't present at the moment. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Seriously folks, we are so lucky to have Bobby. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Hi Chuck! Long time no see but I knew you were working hard. Hope to see you around here a lot more when your contract finishes.

Yes, several boards have gone down lately but it's not contagious. It just takes a tremendous amount of time, dedication, hard work, and vision to build a political website. Two and 1/2 months ago we had 50 members in the Forum, most of whom never posted. We're green and growing, changing, and improving all the time. Plus we don't have some of the confusion here, if you know what I mean. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif This is a good place to hang one's http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hat.gif

SueElise, you always have a good time. The band sounds great! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Whoosh! :o Was that Saber? *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wavey.gif

Now FLguy, don't play so hard that you forget how to work! :o

Angelus, are you thinking of going to seminary? *I really like Boots Randolph. He's great! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Terri~~is the board going to change before our very eyes, or will it be "down" while it's changing. *Last time, it changed while we were posting! *I'll be anxiously awaiting the nickel~~what will you be "needing?"

Hope everyone is having a good day! *SYL *Off to read some posts. *

Good Evening Everyone! Welcome Velvet and Tancredo fan. We are glad you are here, and hope to have you join our posts. We are now only 2 away from the next membership milestone for those of you keeping track http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Laurie, RIM and I both were doing rain dances until a few weeks ago, and it worked! Now it is raining every day, our normal rain pattern for Florida. Just started awfully late this year. BTW, Laurie, we will need your blood type, names of your nearest relatives, your license tag number, several references, and a resume. The good news is you get to keep the little birdie avatar (Terri saw to that this morning). I look forward to seeing you and everyone else on "the other side" http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Terri, duly noted. It is harder to find good articles on the weekends, but that is no excuse. I will try harder next time. :turquoiserolleyes: The Utah primary is this coming Tuesday. I will be sure to post the exciting results.

Terri, I have fun reading the posts here in the forum and watching the Sci-fi channel on Friday nites.

Ipara, to be sure you got some rain - we had two good showers today and I specifically told it to head for Rocky Mount. Are you real sure that it didn't get there?.

Greetings. Signed on just this evening and would like to introduce myself. I am retired, married over 40 years, a proud mother and even prouder grandmother. However, I'm still finding my way around and haven't yet found my voice. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Velvet! Welcome to http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif It's so nice that you've introduced yourself. You have some things in common with several of us here including me. Being grandma is so much fun I should have just done it first. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Hey there Flguy! I didn't mean work here. This isn't work. Right? *There is very little news today and that's probably why the board is slow. Just kick back, put your feet up and enjoy! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif *Monday's coming.

Der Alte, I'm glad it's fun for you here. It is for me too. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

lpara, it might be down briefly or maybe not. I didn't ask Bobby that question. I do know we can move everything we want to move while this board is up so I doubt there will be any outage.

We will use this opportunity to realign some forums and discard one or two that aren't doing very well. If anyone has trouble finding anything we will be glad to help. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Terri, I just received a notice from Glenn Spencer of American Patrol - he was looking for suggestions.

I received a reply and he indicated that he was turning the suggestion over to his webmaster.
