Marines

 As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open.

The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car, and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away..

I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too, and took a few steps towards him.

I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something. The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade. He then turned back to the old man.. I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying:

‘You shouldn’t even be allowed to drive a car at your age.’ And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot.

I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief, and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine.

He then went to his wife and spoke with her; he appeared to tell her it would be okay. I had seen enough, and I approached the old man. He saw me coming and stood straight, and as I got near him I said, ‘Looks like you’re having a problem.’

He smiled sheepishly, and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself, and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me. Looking around, I saw a gas station up the road, and I told the old man that I would be right back. I drove to the station and went I inside. I saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them, and related the problem the old man had with his car. I offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him.

The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine), I spoke with the old gentleman.

When I shook hands with him earlier, he had noticed my Marine Corps ring and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, ‘What outfit did you serve with?’

He had mentioned that he served with the first Marine Division at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal ….

He had hit all the big ones and retired from the Corps after the war was over. As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me. I told him I would just put the bill on my AAA card.

He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it and I stuck it in my pocket. We all shook hands all around again, and I said my goodbye’s to his wife.

I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the station. Once at the station, I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me

One of them pulled out a card from his pocket, looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.

For some reason I had gone about two blocks, when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long time. The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name was written:‘Congressional Medal of Honor Society.’

I sat there motionless, looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage, and an honor to have been in his presence. Remember, OLD men like him gave you FREEDOM for America . Thanks to those who served and still serve, and to all of those who supported them, and who continue to support them.

America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war.. America is at the Mall. If you don’t stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!
Remember, Freedom isn’t Free. Thousands have paid the price, so that you can enjoy what you have today.
LET’S DO THIS: JUST 19 WORDS:

GOD OUR FATHER, WALK THROUGH MY HOUSE AND TAKE AWAY ALL MY WORRIES; AND PLEASE WATCH OVER AND HEAL MY FAMILY;AND PLEASE PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS, AND WATCH OVER OUR TROOPS, WHO ARE DEFENDING THOSE FREEDOMS.AMEN

Great Email

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.
“I should be in charge,” said the brain , “Because I run all the body’s systems, so without me nothing would happen.” 


“I should be in charge,” said the blood
 , “Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you’d all waste away.”

“I should be in charge,” said the stomach,” Because I process food and give all of you energy.” 

 
“I should be in charge,” said the legs“because I carry the body wherever it needs to go.” 

“I should be in charge,” said the eyes, “Because I allow the body to see where it goes.” 

  “I should be in charge,” said the rectum“Because I’m responsible for waste removal.”

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum ,and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. 
Within a few days, the brain
 had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the  blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

The Moral of the story?  Even though the others do all the work…
 
The
 ass hole is usually in charge

Jesus


 Jesus is Better than Santa 
Santa lives at the North Pole. 
JESUS is everywhere. 
Santa rides in a sleigh 
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water. 
Santa comes but once a year 
JESUS is an ever present help. 
Santa fills your stockings with goodies 
JESUS supplies all your needs. 
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited 
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart. 
You have to stand in line to see Santa 
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name. 
Santa lets you sit on his lap 
JESUS lets you rest in His arms. 
Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi little boy or girl, What’s your name?” 
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads. 
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly 
JESUS has a heart full of love. 
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO 
JESUS offers health, help and hope. 
Santa says “You better not cry” 
JESUS says “Cast all your cares on me for I care for you. 
Santa’s little helpers make toys 
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. 
Santa may make you chuckle but 
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength. 
While Santa puts gifts under your tree 
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. 
It’s obvious there is really no comparison. 
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. 
We need to put Christ back in Christmas. 
Jesus is still the reason for the season.


 

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2009
And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.

 

Noahs Ark

1. The woodpecker might have to go!

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark. ..

One : Don’t miss the boat.

Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three : Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four : Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Five : Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six : Build your future on high ground .

Seven : For safety sake, travel in pairs.

Eight : Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs. Nine : When you’re stressed, float a while.

Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting. NOW, wasn’t that nice?

Pass it along and make someone else smile, too.
