Okies in the BYC The Original

[TheBarnSwallow]

Hey guys I know this is late getting this out here, but because this is important I want to get this out..

A young guy at our church has ran away from his adoptive home... He is 15 and very vulnerable right now as he has been dealt alot of life's tragedies(bounced around in the foster system until he was adopted by two wonderful people about 4 years ago) even more recently with the passing of his adoptive father to cancer 2 Christmas's ago...

He has now been missing for over 24 hours and we could sure use all of your christian prayers... As you all know how the weather has been as of late, we hope that wherever he is or with he is safe and kept warm... he is a kid that is on medication and if he doesnt get it it really throws him for a loop.

Please if you all could pray for his return, and any child for that matter out there far from home it would be most appreciated... The young guys name is David... as it is the chosen name he picked once he was adopted... because he felt a kinship to David in the Old testament scriptures and how like David fought Golith, He was fighting against the world...

Please do pray for him

May our Lord bless you many for your sincere prayers and thoughts

Jeannie

Question: What's the most successful pickup line ever?

Answer: "Does this smell like chloroform?"



Officer: "Marine, do you have change for a dollar?

"

Marine: "Sure, buddy."

Officer: "That's no way to address an officer! Let's try it again. Marine, do you have change for a dollar?"

Marine: "No, sir!"


A fire starts inside a chemical plant and the alarm goes out to fire departments miles around. After crews have been fighting the fire for over an hour, the chemical company president approached the fire chief and said, "All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved! I will give $100,000 to the engine company that brings them out safely!"

The crews try, but no one can get through. Then another fire truck, filled with a volunteer fire company of men over 65, comes roaring down the road and drives straight into the middle of the inferno. The other men watch unbelieving as the old timers hop off of their rig and heroically extinguish the fire, saving the secret formulas.

The company president walks over to reward the volunteers.

"What do you guys plan to do with the money?" the president asks the group.

The firetruck driver looks him right in the eye and answers, "Well, the first thing we're going to do is fix the brakes on that truck."



A little old lady answered her doorbell and saw a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I haven't got any money!"

As she closed the door, the young man quickly wedged his foot in the door and pushed it open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, ma'am, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well I hope you've got a darn good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning."

You obviously were very tired. Glad you don't have the second job that keeps you from getting rest.

Be safe today. It looks like we might have added an inch of snow last night, judging by things outside my window that were previously clear of snow because of the wind.

i was right behind you at about 5.30.....wide awake.

usually too much coffee keeps folks from falling sleep - maybe for you two it wakes you up early with a craving for the stuff

Morning all! Made it in to work about half an hour ago. Don't have to be here until 8, but I'm always early. Roads weren't bad at all - just wet. DH was very relieved this morning that I wouldn't be driving on any ice. It started snowing heavily when I went to bed last night, but none of it stuck anywhere that I could see. I'm not going to complain - but I sure wish our dirt roads would hurry up and start drying out. They were slicker than greased owl ---- this morning.

Daughters dog, husky/malamute mix slipped his collar last night sometime. He was out chasing the horses when I went to my car. I yelled at him, and he came flying over to me and jumped straight into my car with his huge muddy feet.

I had a time getting him out of the car since he had no collar. It was really strange, because normally you can't get him in a car! I called the daughter after I started down the road to get her dang dog - he was chasing me. I hope he went back home. Idiot dog!

Good thing the horses can only be chased if they are in the mood. If they didn't want to be chased, they'd have killed him - just like they killed the neighbor's dog. I knew that stupid mare had to be good for something!

What will be fun is seeing how long the delay will be for my daughter's afternoon flight.
