A Few Words About The F Word : Fishing !! Lol...





And Now a Few Words about the F-Word: Fishing.

Where, oh where, oh where do I begin?

I have fished, often against my will, J/K, at just
about every River in the state of Michigan. And parts of Canada.
Eh?

What sticks in my mind, and I mean that literally, is the sheer
numbers of lures I’ve lost.

My Man is a Master Angler.

Insofar as he can catch Fish when everyone else is rubbing their heads.

His technique of Floating-a-Bobber, Spin Casting, Drift Fishing,
Wading-the Rapids, and Coaxing are Legend.

He is truly Poetry-in-Motion.

I have watched him for hours. Hours and hours. Often, Hours and hours against my will, J/K. Occasionally with my will.

And, Here, for the First Time, I would like to share my experiences On the Banks of the Mighty River.
Fundamentally, at our core, my Man and I are different.

He is an Optimist. I tend, I’m ashamed to say, toward Pessimism.

He is sure that “on the next cast,” a fish will rise.

I on the other hand feel, “I’m Never Going to Get Anything” Good. I was hardly disappointed. At not getting anything good.

While keeping in mind this Fun Fishing Factoid: In a Thunder and Lightening Storm, your Rod Is the Highest Pointe on the River Bank, here’s a Sampler of the Average Fabulous Fishing Get-a-Way.

I play the main role because it’s my book. “Honeyyy, Could you get my lure out of the tree. I over shot it?” “I think I’ve hooked a log, can you help me dislodge my lure?” “I
haven’t seen any fish rise.” “Do the dark clouds, with attendant lighting, concern you at all?” “I am going to walk a mile to get to
the porta-potty. If I’m not back in an hour, can you call Onstar?” “Did you happen to see all the shot gun shells along the beaten
track?” “Were those Bear droppings?” “I’ve got it; I’ve got it, Oh I lost it. Darn it.”

Only my kids are worse.

So, now after all of these years, when my Man says, “Do you want to go fishing?”

I, subliminally know, that he really doesn’t mean it. Lol...

JEWEL LYRICS

A Pearl of Biblical Proportions !!


Another Pearl
from

Jewel


"The formation of a natural pearl begins when a foreign substance slips into the oyster between the mantle and the shell, which irritate­s the mantle. It's kind of like the oyster getting a splinter. The oyster's natural reaction is to cover up that irritant to protect itself. The man­tle covers the irritant with layers of the same nacre substance that is used to create the shell. This eventually forms a pearl."

There are a few references in the Bible to pearls. Personally, pearls are my favorite form of jewelry because of the origins of pearls. Like a Water Lily that comes forth from the muck and mud, a pearl is formed when a grain of sand get into an Oyster shell as an irritant then is coated many times, the irritant becomes something of great value and beauty. Therein lies the rub. Most people know that I can be pretty irritating, but over time I can easily grow on you... ruth

The first mention of pearls in the Bible

Job 28:18 “Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned: And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls."NOTE: In the beginning chapter 28 Job is describing the treasures found in the earth and how men seek them out…for example: iron is taken from the dust (:2); copper is smelted from rock (:2); rocks are a source for sapphires(:6); dust contains gold….BUT…where can wisdom be found? (:12) It’s as though Job is saying…pearls are the most valuable, sought after gem…but wisdom is even more precious.

Second mention of pearls in the Bible

Matthew 7:6“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”


NOTE: Truth is precious, Jesus is precious...we must not unwittingly expose ourselves to people violently opposed to the gospel.

Third mention of pearls in the Bible

Matthew 13:45“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls.” NOTE: I’ve used this on my home page. Matthew is using a variety of similes for the kingdom of heaven…a pearl is a perfect simile because a fine pearl is a valuable treasure that needs no polishing or cutting by man. It comes to us complete and lustrous created by God through nature, as is the kingdom of heaven, which only God could create and perfect.

Fourth mention of pearls in the Bible

Matthew 13:46“and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
NOTE: It is easy to part with things when you find something better.

Finding Jesus, the Pearl of Great Price, is worth everything.


We should let nothing hold us back from following Him.

Facebook 'linked to rise in syphilis'


Case have increased fourfold in Sunderland, Durham and Teesside, the areas of Britain where Facebook is most popular.

Professor Peter Kelly, director of public health in Teesside, claimed staff had found a link between social networking sites and the spread of the bacteria, especially among young women.

He said: “Syphilis is a devastating disease. Anyone who has unprotected sex with casual partners is at high risk.

"There has been a fourfold increase in the number of syphilis cases detected with more young women being affected.

"I don't get the names of people affected, just figures, and I saw that several of the people had met sexual partners through these sites.

"Social networking sites are making it easier for people to meet up for casual sex."

In Teesside there were 30 recorded cases of syphilis last year, but the true figures are expected to be much higher.

Research has shown that young people in Sunderland, Durham and Teesside were 25 per cent more likely to log onto social networking sites than those in the rest of Britain.

A Facebook spokesman said: “The assertion that Facebook is responsible for the transmission of syphilis is ridiculous. Facebook is no more responsible for STD transmission than newspapers responsible for bad vision. Today’s reports exaggerate the comments made by the professor, and ignore the difference between correlation and causation.

"As Facebook’s more than 400 million users know, our website is not a place to meet people for casual sex – it’s a place for friends, family and co-workers to connect and share.”

Excerpt from "Wrath of Cod" ~ by Ruth A Cod
"Most people do not think about dental work until they have to have it.
I guess it’s like insurance?
I actually spend an unusual amountpondering dental work.
As the numbers of my natural teeth have dwindled, there is naturally a tendency to dwell on what you have.
Let’s just say my mouth is half full.
But any type of dental work sets me on edge. It wasn’t just the movie “Marathon Man”.
As dirt poor kids we couldn’t afford a dentist, but my dad knew a guy,who knew a guy,
who did dental work in his basement as sort of aninner city entrepreneur.
No Big Deal. Absolutely Normal.
Hey, everyone in my neighborhood had a basement something-or-another.
The man, Mr. Ripper, was actually pretty good.
Extractions were the easiest, drilling the worst, as he only had aconventional drill.
Before cordless. Natch.
Because Mr.Ripper had no conventional dental filling material, he used a toasted poppy-seed mixture combined with industrial strength glue.
No anesthetic, but you could request pre-drilling liquor shots.
Many shots. Many,many, liquor shots. I digress.
I had to have an extraction recently,and boy how things have changed.
I had a fabulous Oral Surgeon. I wept. Not in pain.
The overhead music was pumping 96 Tears byQuestion Mark. The Surgeon was pulling.
The tooth I lost had a$300 root canal with a Titanium post, a $600 Gold Crown with anImported Porcelain Overlay. I wept when the Surgeon said, “Your problem is now in the garbage.” I wanted to sell it on E-bay.
The Titanium alone…"

3 MARCH

What does God say to us?

He says: “I have called you by your name,

You are mine; water will not drown you,

Fire will not burn you,

I will give up nations for you,

You Are Precious to me,

I Love You. Even if a mother

Could forget her child, I will not forget you.

I have carved you in the Palm of My Hand”

So also, the people who come in contact with you are

precious to Him. Help them grow in holiness

Because holiness is not a luxury

Reserved for a few,

It is a simple duty for you and
For me and for all.
Blessed Mother Teresa
I acknowledge my Everlasting
Gratitude to a Loving and Merciful
God
Who Breathed Life into me
Who has picked me up
Time and Time
Again
Who has shown me The Way
Though I strayed from
The Course,
(Because I have no built-in Navigational
System. And a somewhat errorprone
internal action compass)
I am indebted
In Life and Limb
To The
Great Author, Architect, and Giver
Of All that is Good.
“Be of Good Cheer, for I have overcome the
world”
- Jesus Christ

Doctors tell Barack Obama to Quit Smoking and Drinking Alcohol

Doctors tell Barack Obama to quit smoking

Barack Obama is still struggling to kick smoking, according to his first medical examination since becoming president.
Obama is sensitive about his cigarette habit and tetchy with reporters who raise it. But after his 90-minute medical at the Navy hospital outside Washington yesterday morning, his doctors confirmed he had not yet managed to conquer the habit and suggested he "continue smoking cessation efforts".
The doctors said the president used medication to try to ease the pangs, they described it as "nicotine replacement therapy, self-use".
Obama promised Michelle when he embarked on his campaign to become president he would quit, at the time he said he was smoking about eight a day.
He told reporters last year he had quit but still had an occasional cigarette, without specifying how many.
His health was described as excellent and he does not have to return for another medical until 2012. Obama, who is 48, has 20-20 vision, weighs 179 llbs in his shoes and clothes, and requires little medication. Apart from the nicotine replacement, he uses a non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication associated with physical activity: he regularly plays basketball at the White House.
The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake".
