Encouragement

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:10-11

On-Line Powerpoint -- Iraq

This is from my Uncle Carl.  Carl is a retired B-52 pilot with service in WWII, Korea and Vietnam.  He was formerly the chaplain of American Legion Post 388 in Koran, Louisiana.  Presently he's the post commander.  When he makes a suggestion I listen to him. He's right about this website--it's beautifully done.

This is an excellent presentation.  Near the end is a slide featuring Sgt Paul R. Smith, the only recipient of the Medal of Honor to date in the War on Terror.  The inset photo is of his 10-year-old son receiving the Medal in a ceremony at the White House.   (Click to follow link below.)

Punfight!

Remember:  The Encouagers Roundup starts at 5PM on August 6, in room 200 of the West Campus Building at Sugar Creek (same place we had the Christmas party).

 

Just to get everybody snarlin' mad, Bad Bad Bart has challenged the Encouragers to a punfight.  If these don't put a hitch in your gitalong nothin' will!

 

Punfight at OK Corral!!!

by Bad Bad bart

 

A three-legged dog walks into the saloon, sidles up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw. "

 

A cowboy rushed over to the doctor’s table and shouted, "Doc! Hey Doc!  I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor laid down his cards and said, "Now, you settle down. You ‘re just gonna have to be a little patient."

 

That same cowboy had too much sasparilla(?) and ended up arguing’ all night long about where the sunshine comes from. 
Finally it dawned on him.

 

Then there were the three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant and the first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.

 

Sheriff’s report:
Energizer Bunny arrested - charged with battery.

 

Lone Ranger: Hey Tonto...What's the difference between roast beef and pea soup?
Tonto: Anybody can roast beef, kemosabe.

 

Finally, another cowboy entered the saloon's pun contest.  He told ten different puns, figuring at least one would win.
No pun in ten did.
