Hope our route brings us to your area this time.

Daggone it DD. Now we're in NC and we were so sorry you couldn't make it on your last visit up North! Some day you'll have to head southeast. It sure is nice here.

MAC vs. PC.

LOL. MAC user's are a whole different breed of folk!

Hi Victoria, good to see you too.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks for the information on the dogs Phil. Good to see you.

The bravery in combat of the American fighting man is unmatched and ever inspiring.

Always!

Good evening Mayor.

[snippy_about_it]

Oh sure. I finally find time to "fall in" to the Foxhole and no one is here. :-(

[snippy_about_it]

Good evening alfa6. Cute plane.

[The Mayor]

Hi Snippy! Good to see you.

[Samwise]

OK. I heard from Hubby again. They weren't even allowed to walk down certain halls. He mentioned to someone that his wife wanted a picture, and he was told $2500. Ouch!

I told him he should have just told Secret Service that he was Samwise's Hubby from Free Republic. LOL.

[ohioWfan]

LOL! You're right, Samwise. Too bad he didn't think of it. :)

[Professional Engineer]

He mentioned to someone that his wife wanted a picture, and he was told $2500. Ouch!

So which frame did he choose for it? Gold or platinum?

[Soaring Feather]

We will have to see on that one. Probably not this year snippy. I would certainly love to come for a visit though.


What a grand time we can have together. ;)

[alfa6]

It's a great Wednesdasy Morning Bump for the Freeper Foxhole.

Heed The Warning

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: 1 Cor. 10:1,5-11

These things . . . were written for our admonition. —1 Corinthians 10:11

 

In the months following the devastating Asian tsunami of December 2004, an amazing story of survival emerged from Simeulue Island, the closest inhabited land to the epicenter of the earthquake.

A news report said that only 7 of the remote Indonesian island’s 75,000 inhabitants died when 30-foot waves struck just half an hour after the quake. For decades, the people had heard stories told by their grandparents of giant waves that killed thousands on this same island in 1907. So when the ground shook and the sea retreated from the shore, the people recalled their grandparents’ warnings and fled to high ground.

First Corinthians 10 describes a spiritual disaster we can avoid. After the people of Israel were delivered from slavery in Egypt, they continued to turn away from the Lord. Recounting their recurring self-indulgence and its disastrous results, Paul wrote: “Now these things became our examples . . . . And they were written for our admonition” (vv.6,11). The story of their failure has been preserved so we can avoid the same disaster of disobedience.

If there are warning signs in our lives today, it’s time to run from self-destructive sin to the high ground of God’s forgiving grace. —David C. McCasland

The Bible is filled with example and teaching
On how to avoid all the pitfalls of sin;
And if we will learn from its people and precepts,
The struggles and battles of life we can win.  —Hess

A warning heeded is a disaster avoided.

[Professional Engineer]

Good morning ladies and gents. Flag-o-Gram.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, everyone.
Jumping into the FOXHOLE and Wednesday!
