Life Beyond The Secret by Sher Bear
The gypsy in me longs to travel far beyond
the solid ground that these feet of mine have found.
The flower power child in me dances and sings
about love and peace
as the wind goes blowing through the trees.
The writer in me wants to get the full experience out of everything,
so that she can put it into words more easily.
The adventurer in me knows that she can face anything
and refuses to ever go running away from the unknown.
There are so many things that help to define me.
I am a many splendid combination
of my past lives and the one that I am still living.

EARTHQUAKE?
“What the hell was that?”
Those very words were spoken by millions of people
across the heartland,
on Thursday morning, at about 4:30 am.
We felt a little shake back in the 70's,
from a quake that ran through the St Louis fault line.
But this, this was a genuine 5.2 rumble
that went all the way up to Minnesota!
This isn’t suppose to happen around here.
The size and quaking was what was different in this one.
We had a genuine “California-like” earthquake.
What’s going on, God? Are you angry at us? Is it me?
I didn’t mean to insult you in any way!
Hey, I’ll wear the damn sandals!
Did anyone else feel that?
Pagans don't wear sandals! by joesblog6 What April 26, 2008
Looks like in Northern Minnesota!

State moves to ban fake testicles on vehicles
TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters)
Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban
the fake bull testicles
that dangle from the trailer hitches
of many trucks and cars throughout the state ...
Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items,
which are known by brand names
like "Truck Nutz"
and resemble the south end of a bull moving north.

POLITICS
Thoughts from a drinking buddy by Big Al
MAYBE, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO PICK THE RIGHT CANDIDATE
IF SOMEONE ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Why weren't the candidates asked questions like these:
How is your healthcare proposal actually going to meaningfully lower health insurance rates without having to lower the comprehensiveness of coverage?
How on earth can you mandate the purchase of health insurance and compare it to auto and homeowner's insurance when the rates for health insurance are so much higher and this country hasn't seen a significant rise in real wages for so long?
How would you approach the Middle East situation especially in Iraq and Afghanistan in your first ninety days in office?
What would you do to replenish and re-strengthen the condition of the US troops morale and ability to respond to other potential needs if we are still going to be in Iraq for at least 1-2 years before any withdrawal is even attempted?
Is the US government going to continue bailing out large financial entities who get into trouble and not thoroughly address the woes of regular people with their home mortgages?
Because you are of a minority racial part of our populace, how can you address any fears that the majority might have regarding your showing any favoritism to that minority part to make up for biases they have endured?
In your approach to taxes, are you going to commit to the idea that the middle class will not feel the brunt of any reversion to previous income tax rates and including estate taxes? How would you define the middle class economically?
How will you assuage the real estate home market and restore the goal of reasonable home ownership to the American people?
Regarding NAFTA, are you going to address the fact that corporations are given a tax break to export their job positions?
What are you going to do to encourage the re-establishment of American manufacturing capability and does the American workplace have to take large wage losses to do it?
Is it fair that hedge fund managers only have to pay capital gains tax instead of regular income tax?
How are you going to re-strengthen Social Security and is the government going to keep dipping into the SS fund to make up for gaps in government revenues?
Should corn be used primarily for food or for fuel? If for fuel, how are you going to address the rise in food prices caused in part by the change in primary use?
A Different Take by The Consigliere
Obama is like a lemon pie with lots of whipped cream on top.
Now that we have eaten through the fluff,
we are discovering the pie is pretty darn sour.
Poly Ticks by Cyberian The Geekly Planet by Zappa Fan
Then there is former vice-president
of the United States Albert A. Gore, Jr.,
who wrote a book entitled "The Assault on Reason,"
which fairly describes what he has done in his career.
On the other hand, he is responsible for a movie
called
"An Inconvenient Truth,"
which would be more honestly descriptive
if its title were converted to
"A Most Convenient Lie."
Food For Thought by WhitneyWrightSo the first thing we learn in New Jersey
is that we are encouraged to put a few jokes in our tax return ...
Because if you can use your creativity
to get a bigger tax refund on your own,
you will be creating your own stimulus to the economy.
Don’t even look at it as cheating.
And thereby saving President Bush
and our poor overworked government
the extra effort.

IN THE LIFE
 There is something magical about this time of year.
We've come out of a long cold winter,
and then suddenly the days turn into "lambs" as Tara says.
The bugs are minimal and playing in the woods is an adventure.
Imagine It by KellyToday my daughter is PMSing big time.
I'm living with a 15 year old psychpathic drama queen today.
I know that tomorrow will be better than today with her.
But gosh.......so much drama from such a little person!!!
I say that all in jest.
It's just funny to see how blown out of proportion
a pms'ing 15 year old girl can make things!!
At least I can see humor in it!!!
Not the life I'd planned. by NotCallie
 Bella's Gotta Brand New Blog! by BellaSome of the happiest moments I spent as a child
were when I got to visit the farm
of my maternal grandparents.
They lived on a large farm where
they were more or less self-sufficient,
growing their own fruits and vegetables,
and having milk cows, lots of chickens, and several hogs.

I also noted how sweet it is
to be FREAKIN QUEEN of the remote control.
I felt a strange feeling of power as I clutched it in my little hands
...I could watch whatever I wanted...
without interruption and without being asked 200 zillion times
if we could pretty please change the channel
because watching Nickelodeon isn't the same
on the other 3 FREAKIN TV's in the house.
"The Misadventures of a Single Mom" by Ash's Mom
Major Danes by DalphaThe fact is for every issue I had with my ex-wife,
I could not deny the fact she loved our son.
She knew the same about me ...
After our attorneys, had their ego-driven battle
which was the most pathetic thing
I have seen since
Rosanne Barr tried to sing the national anthem.
I realized how sad this all was.
I still loved my soon-to-be ex-wife
and for all the problems we had
had no desire to take our son from her.
I just wanted to be a large part of his life ...
... our son deserved the opportunity to have a strong,
loving relationship with both parents.

Momma Never Told Me by Rita B
We had a Mr. Wizard, but not a Mr. T ,
And Oprah couldn't talk, yet, in the Land That Made Me Me.
We had our share of heroes, we never thought they'd go,
At least not Bobby Darin, or Marilyn Monroe.
For youth was still eternal, and life was yet to be,
And Elvis was forever in the Land That Made Me Me.

I went to Sevilla and this is the week of the Feria (big party).
IT was sooooo neat.
Everyone was dressed up in Flemenco dresses and suits and ties
and looking really really nice.
As it turns out they all go to Feria and get smashed.
EVERYONE.
I saw grandparents and parents drunk.
They were all dancing and singing and having a grand ole time.

One afternoon, after checking to make sure nobody was watching,
I made the decision to ride my brother's bike,
despite the fact that it was direct disobedience
and that I'd probably get into deep doo-doo if I got caught.
Although I hated to admit it, my mother had been right ...

BOY SUSPENDED FOR TALKING TO DAD IN IRAQ
...there are rules for no cell phones in school, I know.
The mother had talked to the assistant principal
& explained the situation.
She was told it would be ok
for her son to accept a call from his dad.
Great, right? Um, nope.
The call came in between classes.
A teacher saw him talking
while walking down the hall & reported him,
taking him to the office.
He was suspended for 3 days!
The school says they will NOT change this
& he will serve his time.
There is no tolerance for this.
Doncha think this is special circumstances?
With the rate soldiers are being killed over there,
this could very well be the last time
the boy every speaks to his dad again!!
My Soap Opera Life by Secret - Victoria's First
She was as dead as any ship could be.
Destroyed in 1915 by a summer gale
that crushed her against the shores of the Scarborough Bluffs
and ripped her to pieces,
her remains were scattered along ten kilometers of shoreline.
Her boiler and walkway were all that protruded
above the surface of the lake
and had become the plaything of local children.
The Alexandria's days as one of the most graceful steamers
on the Great Lakes were over.
View From The Bluffs by Anexplorer
Widow's Peak
She walks a winding stair to the edge of the sea,
a foolish heart despises her begging pleas.
The roar of the wind and the crashing waves
Greets her soul with a power it once gave.
O emotions from the swollen tides
mysteries and life within it hides.
A salty spray moisten her eyes
mingling with the tears she cries.
Light reflects off ocean swells
searching the spirit within her that dwells;
O great and mighty the depth it contains,
some for display, while others remain.
Shading her eye, she watches the laughing gull
mocking her pain, scorched heart and emotions dull.
She turns with the wind, who wraps her dress up tight
His ship will not return to it’s port tonight.
She pulls in air, clean, free and pure,
Wondering how much longer she will endure.
She tucks a loose hair behind her ear,
And wipes away her final tear
Returning to her life once more,
While waves suck dry the ocean shore.

My garden is beginning to look pretty awesome,
even if it has been slow going getting it planted.
I still have quite a few little seedlings
that need transplanted from inside to out,
but what I have already out is quite astounding,

Spinach, lettuce, cabbage, tomato... sounds like a yummy salad!

Funny. For two years I couldn't grow arugula.
Now I can't escape it.
Towering, sequoia stands of arugula lung into view
as soon as you get to the blueberry field.
I will let the plants go to seed and trade the seed.
The arugula is a wonderful high end salad green
that tastes extra good when boiled in with whole wheat pasta
a la Rachel Ray.

Genealogy
A little girl asked her Father,
'How did the human race appear?'
The Father answered,
'God made Adam and Eve and they had children
and so was all mankind made.'
Two days later the girl asked her Mother the same question.
The Mother answered,
'Many years ago there were monkeys
from which the human race evolved.'
You told me the human race was created by God,
and Mother said they developed from monkeys?'
The Father answered,
'Well, dear, it is very simple.
I told you about my side of the family
and
your Mother told you about hers.'

Idle Thoughts by Granny
Frank and Earl are over the road truckers.
It was time for Frank to renew his drivers’ license
so he and Earl went to the DMV.
Earl got into the sleeper for a nap whilst Frank took his test.
Frank had passed the exams with flying colors
up to the very last question.
The instructor explains to Frank:
“You are fully loaded, on a narrow two lane road,
and are going down hill at a 65% grade.
As you exit a dark tunnel,
you see that a wreck has happened about 2000 feet away.
Several cars are strung across both lanes of the road.
On one side is a 500 foot drop off.
On the other is a 7 foot steel and concrete wall.
When you go to apply your brakes,
you find you have none on the tractor or the trailer.
The question is; What are you going to do?”
Frank thought about the problem for a few seconds
then responded:
“I’m going to reach back into the sleeper and wake Earl.”
Puzzled the instructor asks Frank just why
he would he take the time
to bother Earl at this time.
Frank just leaned back in his seat
and responded very calmly,
“’Cause Earl aint never seen no wreck like the one
we're about to have!”

We are connected to
Everything and everyone
In ways we cannot even begin
To imagine or understand.
Even our smallest, least significant
Thought, word, and action
Have real consequences
Throughout the universe ...
Throw a pebble into a pond.
It sends a shiver
Across the surface of the water.
Ripples merge into one another
And create new ones.
Everything is inextricably interrelated ...
So
We must be responsible for everything
We do, say, or think ...
What kind of ripple do I make?
What kind of ripple do you bring
To the Universe?

ON TV TODAY
I just happened to catch a Dr. Phil episode where a man was being accused of molesting his siblings, his daughter and his grandson.
The accused admitted to touching each of his three siblings once, his daughter once when she was only two weeks old and vehemently denied ever touching his grandson. He presented himself as a Christian. He said he would love to teach Vacation Bible School and have his grandson there where he could hug him and hold him because he dearly loved his grandson.
The accused agreed to take a polygraph administered by a former FBI agent who now trains people to give accurate polygraph tests. The former FBI agent said that when administered properly, a polygraph is 93% accurate.
The accused FAILED the polygraph test.
When asked if he had ever touched his daughter sexually, the accused said no.
The polygraph said that his answer was deceptive.
When asked if he had ever touched his grandson sexually, the accused said no.
The polygraph said that his answer was deceptive.
When confronted, the accused stuck to his story, said the polygraph was wrong and then raised his hands to the heavens and called Jesus down to testify to the accused's innocence.
MY REACTION
It was just a TV Show ... but something in my heart broke watching a guilty and unrepentant man call on Jesus in that way. His daughter ... His victim ... was literally falling apart across from him and the accused man said, "He had peace in his heart that Jesus would find a way."
Is that what our society has come to?
Is it really okay to do whatever filthy, hateful, horrible thing we want and just when we are found out, run and hide under the cross and called on Jesus to keep us from FACING OUR SIN?!!!
I believe that the blood of Jesus has covered a multitude of sin when people humbled themselves before God and asked Him to forgive them for their sin.
I believe that the Creator of the Universe, Jehovah, the Great I Am, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit cringed at the name of Jesus being used that way.
OTHER EXAMPLES IN MY LIFE AND ON THE NEWS
I have heard testimony from a child saying that after her father had raped her, her father would kneel with her naked beside the bed and force her to ask Jesus to forgive her for her sin! Because of that wicked man, that little girl spent most of her life looking for meaning every where but through Jesus!
In El Dorado, Texas, 400+ children have been removed from their parents because of allegations that middle aged men were having sex with young girls. Their defense is that generations and generations of people have done things this way, so why should they change just because society has changed? Whatever answer, whatever compromise is found, the truth is that most of those children will be returned to that compound as soon as the parents jump through all the legal hoops. Those that aren't returned, will most likely return to some version of that sect ... Why? Because as bad as it might be to the rest of us, it is all those children have ever known. The defense attorneys will, no doubt, use religious freedom as their excuse.
NONE of these acts are the acts of Jesus!
They ought to be forced to display a disclaimer that said, "Although, the name of Jesus is being used extensively throughout this case, the actions and words of this person do not reflect the true nature of Christ or His teachings. God is LOVE. God does not endorse, nor has He ever endorsed the wickedness and evil acts of men."
I have never interviewed anyone in jail who didn't say that they were innocent of all charges. I have interviewed several who even came to the interview carrying a Bible, hoping for a free pass. I wish you could hear them profess Jesus ... They could give any minister a run for their money with their performed sincerity, honesty, and devout faith! Until you have the privilege of seeing them a week or even a day after they have been released from jail ...
You see, they pretend to believe, mocking true Christianity, by serving an all too convenient jailhouse Jesus ... There was no conversion that took place ... unless you count the practice they got pretending to be Christians, trying out their new found "faith" on the naive and unsuspecting.
Do any of these men and women really believe that they won't reap what they sow?
What did Jesus REALLY SAY?
Matthew 18:6
... but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mark 9:42
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea.
Luke 17:2
"It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.
John 6:61
... But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?
Jesus was all too aware of human shortcomings. He knew we would most surely fall a few times before we would become committed to an upright life. God even allows us to be tested.
MARTIN LUTHER WROTE ABOUT BEING TESTED
Martin Luther wrote about getting regular visits from the devil. The devil would "stop by" to bring doubt, discouragement, low self-esteem, fear, anger, pride and a lot of other "gifts" to torment Martin Luther. The devil used whatever he could to push Martin Luther off his godly path by telling him, "God didn't really love him", and in the beginning, the devil was successful, but every time the devil went away, Martin Luther got stronger in his faith and the next time the devil visited, the devil wasn't as successful as he had been the time before.
One day, the devil knocked on the Martin Luther's door. Martin Luther got up and answered the door. When he saw that it was the devil again, he said, "Oh, it's just you." He didn't get excited or worried or fearful. He just shut the door and went back to his work.
Martin Luther knew that God loved him and there was no reason to argue with the devil about it anymore.
The devil had used up all his tricks and none of them had worked!
In fact, in some way or another, every time the devil showed up to try to convince Martin Luther that God didn't love him, his very presence became proof that God must love him very much or God would not allow him to be tested. The devil's visits became reminders that ... we are only human and that there are things that will pull us off our course ... but it's okay! God loves us anyway and all we have to do is get back on the path.
If a man of God like Martin Luther could be tried and tested, do any of us think that we won't be tested too? There is value in being humble and knowing that none of us is ever above sin.
HOW THE SHOW ENDED
I have heard someone who was in the wrong say more than once, "Don't judge me!" It's as if they were admitting that they knew they were guilty and deserved to be judged! People who are in the wrong already know that other people have judgement. A con man knows he can fool the people close to him, but he also know it's hard to fool everyone.
On Dr. Phil today, the accused's wife said, "How can you not remember?" Even when faced with undeniable proof, she chose to believe that her husband had blacked out ... She couldn't make herself believe that the accused had lied.
I have been taken in by con men in my life. I wanted to believe the best. I thought everyone deserved a chance. True con men paint the prettiest pictures! They are still con men, and if you get too close, they'll con you too.
At what price? Will it just be you who gets hurt, or will the con man get to tear apart your family like the accused did?
I couldn't help myself. By the end of the show, tears were streaming down my cheeks for that woman and her son. I thought of the children I have worked with. I thought of those poor children in El Dorado, Texas. I thought of how common child abuse has become today ... and I prayed.
It's a huge problem. If all of us started working to help today, there wouldn't be enough of us to help every child!
Does that mean we should give up?
No way!
I have a plaque on my desk that encourages me when my burden becomes too great ... It says,
Strong women
and
Strong men
protect the children,
tend the ailing,
care for the aged,
and in fact,
reassure
the entire world.

Here's a one-question IQ Test
to help you decide
how you should spend the rest of your day......
There is a mute who wants
to buy a toothbrush.
By imitating the action of
brushing one's teeth,
he successfully expresses himself
to the shopkeeper
and the purchase is done.
Now, if there is a blind man
who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,
how should he express himself?
Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer...
He opens his mouth and says,
'I would like to buy a pair of Sunglasses.'
If you got this wrong,
please turn off
your
computer
and
call it a day!
I've got mine shutting down right now.
(You know you missed it too,
so shut down your computer!)

Sometimes, people ask me what I think about this or how do I feel about that ... I remember my Mom telling me when I was younger to "hold it up to the light" ... I was thinking about that today when I ran across this song ...
I have mentioned this singer/songwriter before ... David Wilcox. He has a wonderful gift for putting life into words.
HOLD IT UP TO THE LIGHT ~ David Wilcox
It's the choice of a lifetime - I'm almost sure
I will not live my life in between anymore
If I can't be certain of all that's in store
This far it feels so right
I will hold it up - hold it up to the light,
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light
The search for my future has brought me here
This is more than I'd hoped for, but sometimes I fear
That the choice I was made for will someday appear
And I'll be too late for that flight
So hold it up - hold it up to the light,
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light
It's too late - to be stopped at the crossroads
Each life here - a possible way
But wait - and they all will be lost roads
Each road's getting shorter the longer I stay
Now as soon as I'm moving - my choice is good
This way comes through right where I prayed that it would
If I keep my eyes open and look where I should
Somehow all of the signs are in sight
If I hold it up to the light
I said God, will you bless this decision?
I'm scared, Is my life at stake?
But I see if you gave me a vision
Would I never have reason to use my faith?
I was dead with deciding - afraid to choose
I was mourning the loss of the choices I'd lose
But there's no choice at all if I don't make my move
And trust that the timing is right
Yes and hold it up hold it up to the light
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light
