Free Republic

It is our sinful nature to be embarrassed and angry when the truth confronts us.

CFLs do not last for me. Just before they may actually begin to pay for themselves they burn out. Some have been rather interesting with the sizzling and smoking when they go. I bought a LED and wrote the date of purchase on it so I don’t forget to check how long they last. I love it so far.

It may become a problem when the ACT lines up with the Common Core however as I heard it may.

It would almost have to be ELCA. I worry with so much suppression of Christianity dealt to our military that the military will become almost godless. We used to depend on our military as being of a higher moral standard and that in the event of an insurrection they would protect us.”They would never be used against their own citizens,” people would say. If it came down to it they would enforce the constitution. Now I wonder.

Not every teacher...at least not this one. A new philosophy is emerging whereby teachers and students are taught to “Fight Back” and try to overwhelm the attacker. Some would die but cowering in a corner causes all to die. Right now just teachers are taught these tactics but soon students will also be trained in these tactics also. Some teachers here at my school are CC but I’m sure they don’t have their gun with them. Safe Zone yah know.

At a small farm near where I grew up in SE Missouri an old farmer had a heart attack fell over and was partially consumed by his hogs. So I know it happens.

It’s a kite people! Would everyone please relax.

Not sure where you can get these (if you still can) but Dole raisins are by far superior to the dried out Sun Maid raisins.

Now is the time to start a second garden in a low tunnel. See the Eliot Coleman book called Winter Harvest. No bugs, no watering, no weeds. You can't grow tomatoes but any cole crop and lettuce and spinach thrive!

So does this apply to Sunday School teachers as well?

Here’s part of it: http://www.churchillmemorial.org/highlights/Pages/Breakthrough.aspx

We did it in Missouri. see http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/11/07/senate.missouri/

Looks to me like having a debt limit would create a “period of certainty” rather than a “period of uncertainty”

Evangelical means “preaching the gospel”. You should feel at home as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, but wherever God leads you find a church that puts the Bible first!

Here is a beefed up browser that should help to eliminate some of these problems for all Freepers.

About 8 cents in Missouri, higher in other states.

Missouri was heavily involved in the Civil War. See above for many interesting facts.

Paducah, Kentucky event canceled. Lack of interest?

Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is Bible-based and holds the Bible (all of it) to be sacred and the word of God. The ElCA injects a lot of social doctrine and Biblically incorrect feel-good ideas into their beliefs and practices.

At our rural school we have at least one second grader and one kindergarten kid with their own cell phone. Ridiculous!

This is why it is so scary when I see Cisco and other manufacturers of infrastructure networking equipment being made in China. How hard would it be to plant something in those devices.

I wish our president would have announced during his state of the union address a moon-shot type program that would end our energy dependence.

Can you believe in light of the treatment by his folowers that the NYT says: "Mr. Zarqawi, the head of the Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, was killed in an American airstrike on June 7."
NYT calls him MR. Can you believe it?

RE: "inappropriate" figures of the baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary and the wise men from an accompanying nativity scene and limit it to farm animals alone.
They were probably just being more Biblical since the shepherds were at the manger scene and the Wise men arrived probably months later. Yeah I'm sure that's what they were thinking. (sarcasm)

From a lifetime LCMS'er. LCMS is definitely not mainstream...we have always been politically incorrect and hopefully will remain so.

Correction--the word is deducted

Missouri teachers are treated like this also. You can get Social Security after 40 quarters but then this "benefit" is dedcucted from your teacher's retirement.

I was on the '97 Sunrayce as an official (we were called Observers) which replaces this race. The speeds of the vehicles then were 50mph easily but they had to obey speed limits through small towns and conserve power to climb hills etc. Penalties for violating rules gave the teams addded seconds or minutes so the time of the race is a bit misleading if they are still doing it the same way.
