NOTE: Just so this is not interpreted to be a "racist" observation, let me
make it clear that this writing refers to ALL races!!
What is going on? Why do some people feel that everyone else, including the
government, owes them?? It seems that there are some people who think that
is cases of emergencies they automatically become everyone else's
responsibility and have none of their own? That needs to change!!
For Hurricane Gustave, I saw the vast majority of the people who were
getting on evacuation buses, knowing there was a few hours of bus ride ahead
of them, do so EMPTY HANDED! Not even a bottle of water for themselves or
even their little children! They've had days to prepare, but they prepared
nothing! How about a couple of sandwiches for the trip? No.
I watched the news and saw people complain about the place they had been
evacuated to being "filthy" with trash! Many of those complainers are
sitting or lying on cots furnished to them. Well, I'm sure it's not the
volunteer workers who dirtied the place. My advice is get off your asses and
clean up!!
For one of the past hurricanes, I received a phone call at KBON 101.1FM
radio from an evacuation center. Keep in mind, this center had several
hundred evacuees housed there for their safety. Well, the caller explained
to me that there was an 18 wheeler that arrived with water, meals and other
supplies, and asked if I would announce that they needed volunteers to help
unload the truck. I have to tell you, I lost it. "You mean to tell me that
you have hundreds of evacuees in that building and you want me to ask
someone to leave their house and their family to come and unload THEIR
truck?", I asked. Before the person could answer I recommended "I'll tell
you what to do. Go inside and tell them the truck is there and needs to be
unloaded and that you need volunteers. If no one offers to help, you simply
lock up the back of the 18 wheeler and tell it to go somewhere else where it
will be more appreciated"
In another situation, I received a call and was asked to announce that they
needed volunteers to help serve meals to their two hundred or so evacuees.
My advice again to that caller was to get some volunteers among the evacuees
and if they refused, then simply don't serve food.
I am concerned that the day will come when we will have a lot of trouble
finding anyone willing to open it's doors to the people who need to
evacuate, and I cannot blame them if they choose to not make evacuees
welcome. After all, they have nothing to gain by doing so. People come into
centers, halls, etc. and practically trash the place. They complain to the
press about not being comfortable, the place being dirty, not liking the
food, not getting water often enough, and more. Then they leave the place in
filth!!
I am concerned that the day will come when people will not volunteer to
leave their home and families to go and "wait on" people who have absolutely
no appreciation of them and what they are doing to help. Imagine
volunteering to help someone out of the goodness of your heart and not only,
not being appreciated, but being criticized for your service. Personally,
I'd rather stay home with my family then give my time to such ungrateful
people and would not blame anyone for feeling the same way.
I saw on the news recently where the Red Cross was having problems getting
donations to help the people hurricane Gustave victims in our area. Could it
be that people around the country are seeing the "whiners" and the
"unappreciative" and just don't feel like giving to such people, knowing it
will not be appreciated?
It's my belief that the American people are great, kindhearted and generous
people, and are very willing to help people who are trying to help
themselves but I think more & more of us Americans are feeling less & less
generous to people who just don't appreciate it. It's important to know that
no one owes you anything. It's important to know that people will help you a
lot faster when they see you trying to help yourself.
I am concerned, and you should be too.
God bless America, God bless Louisiana and God bless you!

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Beers
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the ! jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children . Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.' ! ;
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.'
Please share this with someone you care about.. I JUST DID

VERY INTERESTING-
1. The
Garden of Eden was in Iraq
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq , was the cradle of
civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq
!
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq !
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq
8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel
10. Amos cried out in Iraq
!
11 Babylon , which is in Iraq , destroyed Jerusalem
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq !
13. The th ree Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq
(Jesus had been in Iraq
also as the fourth person in the Fiery Furnace!)
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the
'writing on the wall' in Iraq
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq
...
17. The wise men were from Iraq
..
18 Peter preached in Iraq
.
19. The 'Empire of Man' described in Revelation is called Babylon
, which was a city in Iraq !
And you have probably seen this one: Israel is the nation most often
mentioned in the Bible.
But do
you know which nation is second?
It is Iraq !
However,
that is not the name that is use d in the Bible.
The
names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia
.. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between
the Tigris And Euphrates
Rivers .
The name
Iraq
, means country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq
is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel
, has more history and prophecy associated
With it than Iraq
And also, This is something to think about: Since America is
typically represented by an eagle.
Saddam
should have read up on his Muslim passages ...
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.. The wrath of the
Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the
people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle
cleansed the lands of Allah;
And there
was peace.
