Thank You, God, for a Great Year...

First, I thank God Almighty that I live in a country where I can publicly believe in God. Second, I thank God for my family. Finally, I thank God for my friends and some great memories from this last year.

 
 
 

 

From a Teacher's Point of View

How would you deal with a classroom fight? Here's one way... http://heyuteacher.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-accidental-teacher-bang-their-heads.html.

I think you'll find it amusing.

Who Will It Be Today?

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.  The heavens will disappear with a roar...Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. 

II Peter 3:10-12a

I helped coach and manage several of my sons' sports teams. I have also been involved with my youngest sons' Cub Scout pack and Boy Scout troop. There is a difference in the conversations. There is a difference in the expectations. The difference is the intended goal. The goal for basketball team is to be good basketball players and teammates. The goal of scouting is "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law."

What is the goal or purpose of knowing God? Peter reminds us to live holy and godly lives. We can only do that by knowing God. It's not about following rules. To be holy is to know God, because only he is holy and only God makes us holy. Remember, Christ is our holiness (I Corinthians 1:30). What is it today the God wants us to see about him? Maybe his love, his faithfulness, his patience, his grace, forgiveness or mercy. 

The day of the Lord will come. Every day that he does not come is another day of God's patience, allowing another person to repent and enter the kingdom. 

Father, who is it going to be today? Who will repent and come to you? Use us today to draw someone to you. Praise be to you in us today!

Memorial Day Thanks

Thank You to those who gave...

Donald Sterling, Texting Drivers and the EPA on Flush 'em Friday, the 5 23 14 Edition

Happy Flush 'em Friday! My flushables for this week are...

People who - text while driving.
                   - don't use their turn signals. 
                   - wait for the car in front of them to clear the 
                    intersection before they go!
                   - who can't pass buses or semi trucks.





V.Donald Sterling - know when to just shut up. 
Stiviano - his caretaker? His mother? Please.

The EPA
   The IRS
       The NSA
           The ACA

Well, that will do.

Who Doesn't Vote What They Believe?

I am deeply concerned with the issue of voting your faith. Some would tell I us the church has no place in issues of the state. That is utter foolishness. If you don't vote what you believe, what do you vote?

Here is a little piece from a position of faith.... http://jamwithjesus.blogspot.com/2014/05/voting-for-justice.html. Enjoy.

The Dodgers and Clippers on Flush 'em Friday, the 5 16 14 Edition

Happy Flush 'em Friday!

Only two things I must flush today.

#1. The Dodgers bullpen. No lead is too large. 

#2. The Clippers great season. Congratulations, you almost made it out of the second round!  and you still have the Sterlings...flush them too!

Any additions? 

Mikes, Sharks and Jays on Flush 'em Friday, the 5 9 14 Edition

Happy Flush 'em Friday! Time to flush a few groups that just get on my nerves and bother me.

Mike D'Antoni - so long and thanks for all the fish. You were actually a good sport. You might look up the word defense.
Mike Brown - details without creativity is deadly.
Mike Wallace - ask a real question of the POTUS, I dare you.

San Jose Sharks - 3 - 0 to 3 - 4 as fast as you can say Los Angeles Kings.
Shark Bait
Sharkeisha - everyone I've known whose name ends with a -eisha has been trouble.
Sharknado - wow, on par with Howard the Duck.

Jay Carney - taking BS to hitherto unknown levels.
Jay Mohr - he just needs a whirly twirly.
Jay Jay - no, no.
Jay Z - Z because it's as far as he could go.

There you have it, there you go.

Michael Pineda, Lois Lerner, Harry Reid on Flush 'em Friday the 2 25 14 edition

Happy Flush 'me Friday! Time to send some well deserving turds down the old drain.


Michael Pineda - pine tar on your neck? Really? That was the best place you could think of putting it?

Harry Reid - because contrary to his delusional and tenuous grasp on reality, he does not know what a terrorist looks like.

Verizon Wireless - first they insult me with their  $30 "thank you for staying with Verizon Wireless" fee. Then they take away my unlimited data for a "share everything" (translation = share less) plan. Now they're sniping my information to give it businesses so they can inundate me with crap they believe I would buy. If the other carriers didn't suck so bad I'd switch before I went to bed.

Lois Lerner -  apparently she thought being the head of the exemption division at the IRS made her exempt from the rule of law. Does she really think taking the fifth means claiming why you think you are innocent and then not allowing anyone to ask you questions? Can you imagine the precedent that would set? Every two-bit hood will want to tell the jury why they are innocent and then take the fifth.

I'd like to say more about the IRS, BLM, Eric a Holder, the Dodgers bullpen, reality TV shows...but, for now, I'll take the fifth.

Pau Gasol and Yasil Puig on Flush "em Friday the 4 4 14 Edition

It's time for Flush 'me Friday! Here's a couple of triplets of flushables. 


Pau Gasol's vertigo
Chris Kaman's right calf
D'Antoni's defensive scheme 






Yasil Puig's batting average 
Yasil Puig's alarm clock
Hyun-Jin Ryu's first inning
                                               

Who do you want to flush?

The Lakers, My Bracket, The Foreign Policy of O and Keith Olbermann on Flush 'em Friday the 3 21 14 Edition

Welcome to Flush 'em Friday! It's time to give a good old whirly-twirly to some well deserving dufus. Here are this weeks nominees.

The Lakers season...who are those guys in Lakers uniforms? 

My Brackets...this is why I am not a betting man. 

The POTUS's "don't go there" to Putin. Not the same as Regan's 
"take down that wall". 

Keith Olbermann...few have been able to master the art of saying so little by saying to much while attempting to pass off the ideas of others as his own. 

Lois Lerner and Harry Reid on Flush 'em Friday the 3 7 14 Edition

Happy Flush 'em Friday! The following knuckleheads must go.

• Lois Lerner for taking the fifth, again. Maybe she drank a fifth?

• "Tolerant Liberal" professors at Rutgers wanted to cancel Condoleezza Rice's invitation to speak at this years commencement ceremony. 

• Chris Murphy for backing up Harry Reid - calling ALL people who were hurt by Obamacare liars. 

• Paper cuts

D'Antoni vs Gasol on Flush 'em Friday the 2 28 14 Edition

Happy Friday! Happy Flush 'em Friday! Today we choose. I am a Laker fan so this year has been quite painful. But, the Lakers will rise again! 

To the point! Who needs to go? 

D' phony, I mean D' Antoni             

                 

or Pau Gasol?




Tell me, who NEEDS to go?

WHICH IS WORSE?

The Lakers and Bill Ayers on Flush 'em Friday the 1 31 14 Edition

Welcome to Flush 'me Friday! Who ya gonna flush? 
For me... 

• The Lakers Season...please end!

• Bill Ayers - poster boy for why NOT to take drugs and proof that the university system is a crock. Since brainless surgeons like him have been at the reigns of educational deform, urr, reform its been all downhill. 

• The State of the Union Address...proving the line between fiction and falsehood is pretty thin.

• Keith Olbermann - I guess some people like to watch someone who is (at least) a bit dumber than themselves.

• Keith Richards - thinks he will tell God, "We're the Rolling Stones!" like God would be impressed and ask for an autograph.

Wendy Davis vs Justin Bieber on Flush 'em Friday the 1 24 14 Edition

Welcome to Flush 'em Friday! It's time to nominate those and that which needs to be Flushed! 
This week we have:

Wendy Davis vs Justin Bieber

Wendy Davis to whom "suffering" seems to mean putting up with a sugar daddy while he takes care of your kids and pays off your student loans and then divorcing him the day after the final payment was made.



Justin Bieber, the boy he probably thinks he's a man but really needs a good old fashion woodshed experience. Too bad he apparently doesn't have anyone around man enough to tell him he's being an idiot.







Who do you think deserves to be flushed the most?

CHRIS CHRISTIE, SELFIES, ALEX RODRIGUEZ, AND TILAPIA ON FLUSH 'EM FRIDAY THE 1 17 14 EDITION

Happy Flush 'me Friday! Time to send some worthy recipients down the drain. Today's group is...

• People who find Governor Chris Christie hard to believe but had no problem believing President Obama didn't know about Benghazi or that the IRS was messing with people. 

• Selfies...Instagram narcissists. Nothing says classy like sending a picture of you in the bathroom to the world.

• Al Sharpton...self serving race baiters annoy me. 

• Alex Rodriguez...does he not have one friend, one family member who will tell him he can't win this one?

• The Lakers defense...ole!

• Tilapia...from China to US...crap fed farmed fish...

Who do YOU want to flush?

JERRY BROWN'S BUDGET, AL GORE'S MELTING ICE AND YASIEL PUIG'S DRIVING ON FLUSH 'EM FRIDAY THE 1 10 14 EDITION

Welcome to Flush 'em Friday! Time to flush that which just needs to go.

Jerry Brown and his proposed spend more before taxing the living crap out of a once great state.
Jerry Krause...well, just for being Jerry Krause.
Ben without Jerry's...tasteless...
Gerrymandering...it's just unfair and my vote always gets counted with a bunch of morons. 
Anyone who doesn't like the logo, Jerry West, that's just wrong. 

Al Gore for predicting that the polar ice caps would melt by 2014. It was nice of Al to fly around in his private jet (not carbon footprint there) spouting nonsense as if it were fact and presenting himself as someone who actually gives a lick. 

Yasiel Puig's driving. Rent a track, leave your mom in pits, and drive like the wind. 

The Laker's injuries...I think I just got carpal syndrome tunnel just writing about them...

If you can think of any other Jerry's or Al's please leave them in the comment section.

Good day.
