Amazingly Ugly Statue



http://img1.travelblog.org/Photos/4451/46308/t/249517-strange-ugly-statue-1.jpg


A man was looking around a small gift shop when he came
across an amazingly ugly statue of a rat. As he was staring
at this statue, the shopkeeper came up to him and began
to speak.

"Sir, I couldn't help but notice your interest in the
statue. It's only five dollars, sir, but the story behind
it will cost you fifty." The man turned back around and
looked in shock.

"Let me get this straight. If I buy the statue and the story
behind it, I'll be paying fifty-five dollars. But if I can
bear to live without the story, I'll only pay five?"

The Shopkeeper grinned and nodded. Not believing what a
bargain he'd got, the man quickly paid and walked out of the
store. A few moments later, he noticed that a lone rat was
following him. He shrugged, and ignored the rodent, hoping
it would leave. When he looked back again, some five minutes
later, he saw that the number of rodents had grown to maybe
fifty rats. A little nervous, he turned back to his path and
continued walking.

When he looked around the third time, he saw thousands of
rats following him. Horribly frightened, the man rushed to a
dock overlooking the ocean and threw the statue as far out
to sea as he possibly could. The rats followed the statue,
sinking into the waves like stones.

The man then rushed back to the shop, elated, panicked,
and still in shock. When he burst through the door, the
shopkeeper gave a little chuckle. He had a smug grin on
his face as he said, "I expect you've come back to buy the
story." The shopkeeper held out his hand for the fifty
dollars. The customer looked confused for a second, then said.

"Heck no! I wanna know if you've got a statue of a lawyer!"





Comments:
A U.S. scientist said Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
benefited from favorable climate when they traversed the
continent some 200 years ago. Lewis and Clark, under orders
from President Thomas Jefferson, set out with a small group
of explorers to find a water route across the American
Northwest.

Paul A. Knapp, a geography professor at Georgia State
University, studied weather records from the period and said
the timing of the trip was crucial. Had the pair embarked
just a few years earlier or later, he said, the results of
the journey -- and subsequent U.S. expansion into the West
-- might have had a different outcome.

The Corps of Discovery -- as the group was called -- trav-
eled across the new frontier four years after and two years
before a major drought. "Had the expedition encountered such
a drought, their journey might have been significantly
different," Knapp said.

Drought conditions would have made wild game, the group's
daily staple, harder to find. Rivers and streams would have
been shallower, making paddling, pulling and poling their
canoes up rivers much more difficult.

"I'm not sure we will ever fully know what would have
happened had the expedition traveled during an intense
drought," Knapp said. "But we do know that they traveled
during a climatic period that favored their success."

Howdy: It certainly demonstrates the blessings of the
Almighty on our country.

-- Red Skelton -

Died September 17, 1997
Born July 18, 1913

Actor, Comedian. As a vaudevillian, member of the MGM
pantheon of film stars and then a television pioneer, he
parlayed his comedic genius and gentle, if sometimes lonely,
soul into a legendary career spanning seven decades, and had
a talent for characterization, whether in film ("The Fuller
Brush Man") or television ("San Fernando Red," "Freddie the
Freeloader," "Clem Kadiddlehopper"). Born in 1913, two months
after the death of his father, he was an icon on television

were recognized at the 1986 Academy Awards ceremonies,
where he was presented with the Governor's Award.

An elderly man 88, just returned from the doctors only to
find he didn't have long to live. So he summons the three
most important people in his life to tell.

1. His Doctor
2. His Priest
3. His Lawyer

"Well today I found out I don't have long to live. So I
asked you three here, because your the most important people
in my life. And I need to ask a favour. Today I am going to
give each of you and envelope with $50,000 dollars in it.
When I die, I would ask that all three of you throw the
money in my grave."

Well a few days later the man passed on, The doctor said,
"I have to admit I kept $10,000 dollars of his money, he owed
me lots of medical bills. But I threw the other $35,000 in."

The Priest said, "I have to admit also I kept $25,000
dollars for the church. Its all going to a good cause. And I
threw the rest in."

Well the Lawyer just couldn't believe what he was hearing,
"I am surprised at you two. I wrote a check for the whole
amount and threw it in."

MORE TRIVIA:


Are fiddlehead ferns poisonous?

Not necessarily, but something that looks similar is - Fiddlehead
ferns are a stage in the growth of all ferns - the tightly coiled
young shoot. They resemble the head of a violin, hence the name.
Edible fiddleheads are the fiddleheads of the Ostrich Fern. Be
careful, because there are many look-alikes (including the Braken Fern
and Royal Fern), which have been shown to cause stomach cancer in a
relatively short time (2 to 5 years).

----------------------

Why is vanilla extract so expensive?

The next time you are in the grocery store and wonder why pure vanilla
extract is so expensive, consider the following: The vanilla bean is
the fruit of a tropical American species of orchid, the only one which
produces anything edible out of 20,000 orchid varieties. The plant
produces one flower which lasts for only one day. If it is not
pollinated, it will be another year before it flowers again. After the
flower is pollinated, it takes about 6 weeks for the bean pod to
develop and reach full size (6 to 10 inches), and another 9 months to
mature. The pods are then hand picked, and dipped immediately in
boiling water to stop growth. Initially, the vanilla bean has no
flavor or aroma. The beans must be cured by heating in the sun during
the day and wrapping them to sweat at night, for up to 20 days. They
are then air dried in trays for 4 to 6 months, and during this process
the beans ferment and develop their unique aroma and flavor. The cured
pods contain about 2% vanillin (the main flavor component), oleoresin,
sugar, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, etc., which all contribute to its
unique aroma and flavor. The cured beans are then crushed and the
flavors extracted with water and alcohol.

----------------------

Why don't we bow to our country's leader?

The democratic custom of shaking hands instead of bowing at White
House receptions was initiated in the Blue Room by Thomas Jefferson
early in his first term as U.S. president.

----------------------

What's so special about the number two?

The number two is the only number greater than zero that, when added
to or multiplied by itself, gives the same result: 4.

----------------------

Was Lord Byron fond of his geese?

It would seem so - Lord Byron had four pet geese that he brought
everywhere with him, even to social gatherings. Byron, was
considered one of the most dashing and attractive men of his time.

God designed humans to want to believe in something.
That's the image of God that is in us. But as G. K.
Chesterton famously put it, when we reject the God
of the Bible, we don't believe in nothing; we believe
in everything -- including Little Green Men.

Why Does Satan Hate Israel?

By: Stephen Yulish



As Israel is chastised by the entire world for its tough response against Hezbollah rocket attacks from Southern Lebanon, some Christians want to know what this has to do with them. They wonder if God may be finally finished with Israel after all their years of stiff necked defiance and refusal to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They see the United Nations, the EU, the Vatican, and other religious organizations calling for a ceasefire. Only the United States thus far has stood behind Israel’s right to defend itself against kaytusha rocket attacks against its civilians in the northern Galilee and Haifa.



I wrote a similar article, last year (“A Promise is a Promise”) when people were concerned about Israelis leaving their settlements in Gaza. Look what has happened. They left southern Lebanon in the year 2000 and were promised that the militias like Hezbollah would be disarmed. They left Gaza last year hoping that a land for peace strategy would work. Both withdrawals failed, as Gaza and southern Lebanon have both erupted in violence. I did a radio interview last week and was asked why the Jews and Muslims could not just get along. The reason is that Satan hates the Jewish people, especially the Israelis, and there would not be peace until the Prince of Peace returns (Isaiah 9:6).



Why is this? Paul summarized it best in Romans 9:4-5 “Israelites to who belongs the adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all…



God used His first born chosen people, the Jews (through the Patriarchs, Prophets, and Temple) to bring His word, the Law and morality, to the earth and then sent His Son in a Jewish body to save the world from its sin. Satan hates God and His word and he hates God’s chosen vessel, the Jews, from who came Jesus Christ. Satan used the Babylonians and the Persians and the Assyrians and the Hittites and the Egyptians to try and destroy this royal bloodline by destroying the Jews, but he failed. Then after Christ died on the cross for our sins, he continued to try and see that the scattered Jews would not return to their homeland and reestablish their Jewish nation. He infiltrated the Church and helped instigate the Crusades and the Inquisition and the pogroms and the Holocaust in order to destroy the Jews so they could

not create another Israel. Why was he so hell-bent on preventing that from happening? Because Jesus Christ is to return to the Mount of Olives (Zech 14:4) to rule and reign from Jerusalem for a 1000 years from the rebuilt Temple.



Recently he has infiltrated the Mosque and is using Islam to try and destroy the Jews and Israel. While once it was the Crusader and the Grand Inquisitor and the Nazi, today it is the Imam and the Islamic Cleric and the President of Iran who have called for the destruction of Israel and the Jews.



Unfortunately, however, Satan is still alive and well in the body of Christ spouting such lies from the pits of hell as “replacement theology”, that the church has somehow replaced Israel. It is Satan trying to show that God’s word is a lie. He will of course fail but many souls will be lost in the process, Muslim as well as Jew as well as so called Christian.



What Christians fail to realize, is the fact that if God is finished with Israel then maybe He might be finished with them as well. Ludwig Schneider wrote “Christians note the veil over the eyes of Jews that binds them from seeing the Messiah, but when non Jews don’t believe that God’s promises to Israel are still valid today, there is a veil over their hearts which encompasses all the nations. Whether Jew or Gentile, these veils must be removed.”



The Abrahamic Covenant gave ownership of the land of Canaan unconditionally to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It was an everlasting possession (Genesis 17:7-8). That means forever. This was reiterated when an Angel of the Lord said; “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers and I said I will never break my covenant” (Judges 2:1). God keeps His promises that He confirmed to Israel as an everlasting covenant (Psalm105:6-11) and He says that the offspring of Israel will cease from being a nation when the fixed order of the sun, the moon and the stars departs (Jeremiah 31:35-37).



If Israel ceases to be a nation on that land, then what was Paul speaking of when he said of the Jews that the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable (Romans 11:29)? Jesus Himself said that all the things talked about in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. It means the Temple must be rebuilt (Daniel 9:27). The House of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem must recognize Him that they have pierced (Zechariah 12:10). That will never happen if Jerusalem is ceded to the Palestinians. Paul in his Second Letter to the church at Thessalonica said that the antichrist will reign from the Temple (2Thess.2:4). The Temple will not be rebuilt under Palestinian control.



And finally Paul wrote that someday all Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26). This will not happen if Israel no longer exists.



What does all of this mean to Christians? If God promised Israel that land and reneges on His promise, then He might renege on your promise of salvation as well. Paul wrote to Titus about “the hope of eternal life which God promised ages ago” (Titus 1:2). God cannot lie and His promises are faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Thus if God keeps his promises to Israel and the land, then He will keep His promises to you about eternal salvation. Watch God working with Israel and rest assured that He will keep working with you because a promise is a promise. And like He did not forsake a stiff-necked rebellious Israel, God will not turn His back on us. God loves Israel and Satan hates Israel.



God says that anyone that touches Israel touches the apple (pupil) of His eye (Zechariah 2:8). That means that anybody that messes with Israel sticks his finger in God’s eye. Why does Satan hate the Israelis? He hates them because God loves them in spite of their unbelief and one day is going to set up His kingdom in their midst for a thousand years as He gives them a new heart and a new spirit (Zechariah 12:10 , Jeremiah 31:33).

Verse of the Day



* * * Four Important Things To KNOW: #1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned & fall short of the glory of God. #2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of Peace & Savior of the World). #3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone, anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in, relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven). #4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist, Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through) ME (no other name). *** This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - - (Rev. 3:20) {Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian - however they are great afterwards!!!} *** Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment), and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, forever with God), and only a few find it.

P U R P O S E
But these are written so that you may
believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the
Son of God, and that by believing in
Him you will have life. Jn 20:31

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call on Him while He is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the evil
man his thoughts. Let him turn to the
Lord, and He will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for He will freely
pardon. "For My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways
My ways," declares the Lord. "As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so
are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
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.
You will go out in joy and be led forth
in peace; the mountains and hills will
burst into song before you, and all the
trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the
pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle
will grow. This will be for the Lord's
renown, for an everlasting sign, which
will not be destroyed." Is 55

O Lord, you have searched me and you
know me. You know when I sit and when
I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying
down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know
it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -
behind and before; you have laid your
hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence? If I go up
to the heavens, you are there; if I make
my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide
me and the light become night around
me," even the darkness will not be dark
to you; the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. For you
created my inmost being; you knit me
together in my mother's womb. I praise
you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know
that full well. My frame was not hidden
from you when I was made in the secret
place. When I was woven together in the
depths of the earth, your eyes saw my
unformed body. All the days ordained
for me were written in your book before
one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the grains of sand. When
I awake, I am still with you. Search me,
O God, and know my heart; test me
and know my anxious thoughts. See
if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Ps 139

But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up,
that I may show My power in you, and that My
Name may be declared in all the earth. Ex 9:16


When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- - Isaac Watts
