~ Afternoon Tea ~

My copper kettle
whistles merrily
and signals that
it is time for tea.

The fine china cups
are filled with the brew.
There's lemon and sugar
and sweet cream, too.

But, best of all
there's friendship, between you and me.
As we lovingly share
our afternoon tea.

- Marianna Arolin -

Graphic and Comments from Louie

If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
if you are depressed, it will cheer you;
if you are exhausted, it will calm you.

I really miss your presence
I like to hear your views
I wish that we could visit
And catch up on the news.

Since we can't do that often
The one thing that I can see
Is-we can dream together
And have a cup of tea.

Morning



Kerry Lies

War Criminal or War Hero,
See both you cannot be.
You claimed you burned a village,
Sounds like a crime to me.
Cambodia in Sixty-Eight,
You say that you were there.
You said Nixon said you weren’t,
Just why would Nixon care?
He wasn’t even president,
Till Nineteen Sixty-Nine.
But details never bother you,
Bold lies do suit you fine.
Three Purple Hearts for paper cuts,
A Bronze and Silver Star.
Then home you came, threw them away,
But look now, there they are.
You testified with still more lies,
About brave fighting men.
The things you claimed that they did,
Just aren’t true now or then.
So tell us please John Kerry,
Which lie we should believe.
Oh what a tangled web you’ve weaved,
You practice to deceive.

John Kerry

Sung to Tom Dooley



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.



You’ve lied about your service,
Over in Viet Nam.
You twist your senate record,
We know that you’re a scam.



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.



You said that you did war crimes,
Now you say you’re the man.
That has the right to lead us,
I do not think you can.



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.



You’ve voted yes Iraq War,
Then turned and voted no.
Just what now do you stand for,
We’d really like to know.



Hang down your head John Kerry,
Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head John Kerry,
We know you’re bound to lie.

You should post both of these every day or so.

I cannot believe there are enough people in this country that would actually elect this guy but I hate to be over confident.

Are there any liberal forums that you could also use to post these? The world needs to be informed about the Kerry Lies. It probably would not change any liberal mind even if you could get it out there.

Words are just sounds to liberals. Here are links to the Kerry Collection. Links don't take up so much room. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=100#100 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1163131/posts?page=11608#11608 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=82#82 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1185436/posts?page=87#87 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=2#2 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=20#20 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=27#27 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=79#79 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185436/posts?page=111#111

What's Your Identity?

Read: Galatians 3:26-4:7

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. —Galatians 3:26

Bible In One Year: Psalms 81-83; Romans 11:19-36

---

How do people identify you? Do they say, "Hey, there's the guy who sells cars." Or "That woman is a school teacher."

When our oldest daughter was little, she sang on a national children's radio program, and I liked being known as "Lisa Sue's dad." Since 1990, I've enjoyed being "The Sports Spectrum guy" because of my work with that magazine. We all have little titles that others use to identify us.

Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" (Mark 8:27). Some thought He was Elijah or another prophet. But those who knew Him best said, "You are the Christ" (v.29). That was the right label for the Savior of the world.

What are you called by those who know you best? Do they say, "He's a follower of Jesus—you can just tell"? It may depend on how you talk with people, how you treat your family, and the way you live.

The apostle Paul said we are all "sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26). That intimate identification with God the Father should naturally express itself to our friends and acquaintances.

Those closest to Jesus knew He was the Savior. Do those close to us know that we belong to Him? —Dave Branon

Show me the way, Lord, let my light shine
As an example of good to mankind;
Help them to see the patterns of Thee
Shining in beauty, lived out in me. —Neuer

Do those who know you know you are a Christian?

Hi Everyone,

Looks like I missed a lot yesterday! I was out of town for the day.

If anyone needs something to celebrate today...it's my cat's 15th birthday! He's celebrating with a can of tuna and a bag of catnip. And then sleeping the rest of the day, of course. :)

[NicknamedBob]

I’ve heard that it’s “sons and daughters” day. In celebration of that:


Daughter Rhymes With Laughter

I said that daughter rhymes with laughter, and everyone objected,
“Those two words don’t sound the same, you’ve gotten disconnected.”
But I contend that they do rhyme, that daughter rhymes with laughter,
For boys will make you tear your hair, but girls will make you dafter.

Good morning! Oh, goodie! A beautiful *Tea* is being served at Amy's! Thank you! (And maybe lemonade at the Finest? It's hot over there! LOL)

With lemon, please - no sugar.
