Lavender fence posts?  Hmmmmm!

ROFL! Nope. Plain ole wood!  
Them two buttin' heads - one is a male and one is a female!

I liked it better thinking, "Two bulls in a china shop."

China shop?  The only thing I see is STEAK!  Lots of STEAK!

Grace and Peace!

Now I'm hungry, thanks for reminding me I haven't eaten today.

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

       It's pretty easy to see politics as a comedy. Some comedians make their living in mimicking what politicians do. DreamWeaver posted some political jokes done by Jay Leno and David Letterman that are hilarious. It's great to have a good laugh every now and then, but our politicians give us laughs every day. However, it's sad that what they do will effect all of us for many years. For this reason and others, I think it should be a duty of every Christian to pray for our leaders every day, especially the ones we don't like and the ones we feel are lost or weak in Christ.

This thread made my day. Now, I think of politics as a giant cow-chip tossing contest.    YES!!, those do exist. I think our politicians from Oklahoma would have an unfair advantage, as many of them are expert at tossing cow-chips.  

UM???, good point about what to do with the lawyers. Maybe we could make a law that they could only represent or bring actions against politicians.    Maybe we could isolate them on a deserted island somewhere and make sure there was no communication with the outside world, including messages sent in bottles, etc. I can see it now - the world's largest composting operation.  

Love In Christ,
Tom

I have been away for 10 days and this is the best you got?


SHEESH

Sister Reba,

Where have you been, and how are you? We have finally gotten to the heart of the matter in politics, bull and cow chips, so I thought we had cut through the bull (a little play on words).  I know - GROAN!!!!!!  

Give us Reba's words of wisdom, but I think that we are finally on topic.    We missed you.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Sheep and goats do the samething!!

Blessings,   \o/

But sheep and goats don't go along with BEP saying:

I'm trying to think about what the politicians would be good at if they couldn't be politicians. I keep coming back to working with or processing manure in some manner.

Not to mention the fact that I can walk outside and see our cows butting heads, hence the photo! We don't have sheep!   And we are 'kid-sitting' some baby goats, but they're not 'butting heads', yet!  

So to summarize:
Males and females were 'butting heads' and manure was spoken of.

The town of Beaver should be proud of its undisputed title: Cow Chip Throwing Capital of the World. It is here that the World Championship Cow Chip Throw is held each April.

King Cow ChipTM, a leering cartoon of a dried bovine fecal wad wearing a tilted crown, is the town's registered trademark. This "Dried-in-the-Sun King" has brought notoriety — and prosperity — to Beaver. But, as with any long, unchallenged reign, the populace has become inured to their own charm. King Cow Chip's royal entourage keeps the claim alive, cranking out commemorative gift boxes of cow chips, entertaining foreign dignitaries, and dragging the beaver trailer around town for parades.

 

[nChrist]

SincereHeart,

     Sister, You found the capital, but we have contests all over Oklahoma.    If I remember correctly, Beaver, Oklahoma is in Southeastern Oklahoma in the heart of the Quachita (SP) Wilderness and Mountains. They have to pipe sunshine in there, but it is a beautiful place. My wife and I would love to rent a cabin there and spend 3 or 4 days just enjoying nature. Fall is the perfect time after things cool down and the colors start to change. They also have some of the best fishing in the country. Beaver's Bend State Park is where we want to go. It was built by the WPA, and you can still rent a cabin there for about $40 a night, so poor people can still afford it, especially when the fourth night is free. They are set up with dishes, stove, refrigerator, cooking, and bringing your own groceries to reduce the cost even more. You can forget about TV because they don't receive any signals there, and the cabins are NOT equipped with telephones, so it's perfect for R & R. Rangers provide communications and heavily patrol the camp. Wildlife is very heavy around the cabins, and they have huge picture windows in the cabin to simply enjoy. Did I mention that the walls on the cabins are 1 foot + thick stone?  

There is a town fairly close that is popular for circus people to retire in, so we might not come back.    We would fit right in.

Love In Christ,
Tom

BEP....being from Oklahoma, and liking politicians and jokes...

Kerry had a rally at one of the reservations in Oklahoma since he is courting the Native American vote.

Got introduced by the chief, and all the gathered tribespeople shouted at the top of their lungs "BAZOONGA"!

Kerry smiled, and acknowledged their accolades.

Started talking, and said "my fellow amurricans..." and was interrupted by a resounding "BAZOOOONGA!"

Throughout his 15 minute speech, he was greeted with a thundering "BAZOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGAAAAAAA!" after every 7th or 8th word.

Kerry was just beside himself....he had hit a homerun with these people!

After he finished, Kerry asked the chief what the tribes main industry was, and chief replied "we're in the cattle business in a big way....we run over 200,000 head on the rez...would you like to see them?"

Kerry said "absolutely, I want to know everything about your home and businesses."

As they began to walk from the stage to a jeep to travel in, the chief looked at Kerry and said "careful.....don't stepum in bazoonga."

BazoooonnGA!!!

Brother, I'm really surprised they didn't have Kerry for supper.  

There are parts of Oklahoma yet to be explored. We have swamp lands to the South - we call them Texas.  

UH OH!! - All in good fun, TEXANS.

George W. Bush on Faith

On Faith and Politics"
Kerry:

"I can't take my Catholic belief, my article of faith, and legislate it on a Protestant or a Jew or an atheist. We have separation of church and state in the United States of America."
--Interviewin the Dubuque, Iowa, Telegraph Herald, July 2004

"It's important to not have the Church instructing politicians."
--Quoted The American Spectator, July 7, 2004

"We have a separation of church and state in this country. As John Kennedy said very clearly, I will be a President who happens to be Catholic, not a Catholic President."
-Quoted in Time Magazine, "A Test of Kerry's Faith," April 5, 2004

Bush:

"We need common-sense judges who understand our rights were derived from God,"
--As quoted in ""Understanding the President and his God"

"We Americans have faith in ourselves, but not in ourselves alone. We do not know--we do not claim to know all the ways of Providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in the loving God behind all of life, and all of history.

"May He guide us now. And may God continue to bless the United States of America.
--State of the Union Address, January 28, 2003

"I think that God--that my relationship with God is a very personal relationship. And I turn to the good Lord for strength. And I turn to the good Lord for guidance. I turn to the good Lord for forgiveness."
--Interview by Radio and Television Ireland, June 24, 2004

Um Hmm. And you keep it up, we'll send you some of our mosquitoes. You'll think a B1 is landing at Tinker!

[Reba]

Can anyone show me where our Constitution says 'seperation of church and state' ?


Kerry does not know the Constitution he has sworn to uphold.
