Every Animal Has a Story
Mon, 20th August, 2012
My name is Chloe, I was given up because my mommy and daddy were always away.
My name is Clyde, a man got me as a gift, but the woman didn't like me so i couldn't stay.
My name is FiFi, i bit my owner, but he was mean to me when no one was looking.
My name is Jack, I pottied in the house, but couldn't hold it all day while my parents were working!
My name is Lexi, i was given back because i jump, but i was just so happy to see her!
My name is Beau, my parents stopped loving me because i shed, but i was born with this fur.
My name is Molly, i belonged to a breeder, but i'm old so she doesn't need me anymore.
My name is Max, I was constantly beat and i'm still sore.
My name is Sophie, my daddy couldn't get up. I barked for help, but when they came they brought me here.
My name is Bruce, my back is broken because the man got mad and punched me above my rear.
My name is Susie and even this is better than the last place where i lived in fear.
My name is Rufus, I'm here because i didn't listen, but i'm deaf so i couldn't hear.
Haven't you ever been given a second chance? Don't i deserve to be happy?
Should i die because i messed up or the cards i was dealt are crappy.
I just want to be loved and possible wake you up by licking your nose.
I'm just scared anymore. I don't know who to call my friend or who to call my foe.
Just give me the time, i promise i'll nuzzle again, maybe even kiss!
I just really deserve a second chance, i know what happens after this.
Don't rush now, i don't want to go home with you, hopeful, just for you to change your mind.
But please consider a second chance pet, you might be suprised at what you find!
Designer Mixes? Really?
Wed, 6th June, 2012
Don't get me wrong, i love ALL animals, but i've been hearing about what they call designer mixes these days and i must say, really? A designer mix is a fancy way of saying you are buying a mixed dog. They give it a fancy name and then charge the same, if not more, than a full bred AKC registered dog. I've heard of people spending a whopping $600 for these animals! It's your money, you can of course spend it as you please, but i'd like to make a suggestion. Before you purchase your "designer mix" why not take a look at www.petfinder.com or find our local animal shelter under Hardin County Animal Shelter on facebook and see if you find your perfect new family member there first. It's only $62 and includes your current dog tags, but most importantly you are giving a home to a second chance dog that otherwise may not find a home. They are getting puppies in frequently if that is why you might choose to go to a breeder. They get detailed information about where the dog has been, they keep a close eye on them so they can let you know any ticks the dog may have, and if you really want to spend $600 then you could always adopt more than one :) Again, i say i have nothing against "designer mixes" or their owners. I do have an oposing opinion against puppy mills/farms and breeders with no real attachment to their litters though. I hope i didn't offend anyone, just giving you something to think about!
As i go whistling down the street,
I have so many friends to greet.
Perhaps they'd be just dogs to you-
To me they're friends and all true-blue.
A happy bark, a friendly tail,
Straightforward eyes to greet my hail,
Each one all eagerness to please;
I'm proud to have such friends as these.
I think it's sad all men don't know
The qualities that dogs can show,
But as for me, my day's more sweet
Because i have such friends to greet.
I like cats
that sleep in stores
on windowsills
and old stove doors; that eat and knead
and then recline
to dream away
eight lives... or nine.

Allardyce denies misconduct charge
Filed: Wednesday, 23rd January 2013
By: Staff Writer
Sam Allardyce has denied an FA misconduct charge relating to comments he made about Phil Dowd following West Ham United's FA Cup exit at Old Trafford.
Referee Dowd failed to award West Ham a blatant penalty before awarding the home side a spot kick in almost identical circumstances later in the game - a situation that left Allardyce raging after the final whistle.
Choosing his words carefully during an interview with ITV, Allardyce said: "There's no doubt whatsoever about the difference between Rafael's hand ball and Jordan Spence's. Jordan Spence plays for West Ham away at Man United and Rafael plays at home at Old Trafford. It's got to be that simple when you see it."
Those comments were enough for the FA to hit the Hammers boss with a misconduct charge - one which Allardyce has now denied. As a result, he has requested a personal hearing with the FA.
A short staement on the FA's website read: "It is alleged Allardyce questioned the integrity of the match referee and/or match officials in general, and/or implied that the match referee and/or match officials in general were motivated by bias; and/or brought the game into disrepute in contravention of Rule E3(1)."

Fire and Rescue NSW put out a fire threatening houses in Denmark Street, Merrylands on Saturday, April 7.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a large area of grass burning within vacant land at the rear of houses, being fanned by strong winds.
Additional firefighting units were responded to the scene and perimeter control was established to stop the fire reaching houses.
Firefighters from Merrylands, Guildford and Parramatta stations and Parramatta Duty Commander responded to the scene.
The fire burned to the rear of six houses, however was stopped by firefighters before the flames could reach the houses.
Firefighters were concerned about a metal shed, which contained several drums of petrol and was in the fires path; fortunately firefighters were able to stop the fire igniting the shed contents.
Several firefighters were deployed to Meakin Street to the west and Denmark Street to the east, containing the fire on east and west edges and protecting houses either side.
The fire took approximately one hour to completely extinguish.
Fast response of the initial firefighters enabled rapid fire control operations to be commeneced and fire spread limited.
The fire was particularly fast moving and intense, due to the winds and dryness of grass at this particular location.
Police attended the scene and are conducting investigations.
Firefighters believe the fire may have been accidentally started due to an unauthorised burn-off that got out of control.
Ambulance officers attended the scene and assessed several residents who were in close proximity to the fire and smoke plume.
No persons were transported to hospital.

Vikings Rack Up Record-Setting Points in 87-0 Windsor Forest Shutout
Samuel D. Logan, Valdosta Daily Times
The talk around town after last Friday was of the Vikings' demise; however, Lowndes gave the region some broken records to discuss this week as the Vikings exploded, scoring a stunning 87-0 victory over Windsor Forest.
The Vikings came out of the locker room looking like a team on a mission to show that despite a hiccup last week against Newton, Lowndes is still a team to be feared.
After a week of hearing questions surrounding the predictability of Randy McPherson's wing-T offense, on the first play of the game McPherson called the same wing-T run; Ahman Brown broke through a hole in the line, cut left, and was off to the races for 64 yards and a score.
On the next drive, McPherson showed he wasn't afraid to mix things up. After a one-yard run to begin the drive, the Vikings put the ball in the air on five of their next seven plays. Austin Dixon threw three screens and two intermediate routes, a tipped pass intended for Malik Johnson held Lowndes to a field goal.
"They crowded us up," said McPherson. "We felt like we could throw the ball, so that's what we did."

Newton pulls LHS upset at Martin Stadium
Derrick Davis - The Valdosta Daily Times
VALDOSTA — The defense looked vulnerable, the offense was sloppy, nothing about Lowndes looked familiar to what Vikings fans witnessed against the Rams a year ago; this year, Newton was able to squeak out a 15-14 victory over the Lowndes High School Vikings.
Newton came to Martin Stadium on Friday night looking for some revenge for a 31-0 romp by the Vikings last season and they looked to improve in their second trip to Lowndes.
"You can't take anything away from Newton. They've got a good football team," said Lowndes head coach Randy McPherson. "They're much improved, but we made too many mistakes. You aren't going to beat anyone playing like that."

Vikings Overpower Luella 42-2 to Start 2013 Season
Vikings victorious in opener
Derrick Davis The Valdosta Daily Times
VALDOSTA — Shortly before 8 p.m., lightning strikes in the area forced fans to retreat from the stands, but nothing in the world could have forced them from the stadium on a Friday night; the Vikings opened up their season in front of a large home crowd by crushing the Luella Lions, 42-2.
Coming into the game, the Lions looked to be overmatched against a Lowndes team with state championship aspirations, and as it turned out, a brief lightning stoppage could only delay the inevitable.
Lowndes followed a familiar narrative in this game, the defense dominated while the offense moved the ball steadily and scored when the opportunity presented itself.
"I thought we had a good start," said Lowndes head coach Randy McPherson. "We played hard. I think we did a great job."

Touchdown Club Recognizes Video Scoreboard Sponsors
The Viking Touchdown Club is proud to have teamed up with local business and advertising partners to bring Lowndes fans the new video board located in the north end zone. They are also delighted to have added a new scoreboard to the south end zone and to have replaced the north end zone scoreboard with a new, larger scoreboard. Both boards are digital and work in unison with each other.
At a value of almost $500,000, this project was in the planning stages for several years and was made possible by not only the generosity of local businesses but also by the unwavering support of Viking fans over the years. No system funds or taxpayer dollars were used in the purchase of this new equipment.
Over $70,000 of the cost of this project was donated by local businesses in terms of labor, materials, and professional services, and we are deeply indebted to the following for their support.

I have a second monitor hooked up to my MBP and have boxee set to display on my second screen via Settings > Screen > Resolution : 1280x1024 @ 60.00 - Full Screen #2
When the second monitor is not connected and I run boxee, my laptop screen goes black for a second then a small blank white window appears (boxee attempting to run) and boxee just hangs there. Boxee does not start, it is just a tiny blank white window that does nothing. The only way to quit is to fire up the terminal and kill -9 the process.
Has anyone run into this? Is there a way to change back to default resolution without running boxee (since I cannot run boxee without my second monitor unless I change the resolution before I disconnect the second monitor)?
I've attached the debug log files in hopes it will help the developers.

If i follow this guide: E3 FLASHER INSTALLATION and DOWNGRADE TUTORIAL (Khalkedon) - YouTube , am i then able to downgrade from 4.30 to 3.55. Will i need to download some new files, or can i use the same files which is used to downgrade from 4.21 to 3.55. Also after i'm done with the downgrading, can i then take out the e3 flasher and then put everything back to normal again, and then use the e3 flasher on a other ps3 ? I got a dongle and a micro sd card, and then if i buy the e3 flasher, do i then have all the neccesery things to be able to downgrade?

Vintages Wine Panel: Winner of a Silver Medal at the Concours Altides du Languedoc et du Roussillon 2008. Deep ruby-coloured blend of Grenache Noir and Syrah, with a tiny bit of Carignan. It showcases the bright fruit and spice typical of Languedoc reds: a nose of ripe currant, black cherry, and plum, with wisps of smoke, and lots of the same on the palate. Medium bodied and easy to enjoy, this is a great value and will delight with beef bourguignon. My note: Terrific value for this full-bodied tasty red that delivers ripe dark berries and some smoke. Great for barbecue or meaty pizzas. Grenache Noir Syrah Carignan food pairings: barbecue, meaty pizzas.This Grenache Noir Syrah Carignan was reviewed July 24, 2010 by Natalie MacLean

DIY Friday: Book Spine Book Mark
Dear Pinterest, in the hours we've spent just looking at amazing DIY projects in your endless galleries we probably could have DIY'd our very own home by now. Oh well, the ideas are there for both the lazy blog trolls killing time (guilty) and the truly motivated craftspeople who make these whimsical dreams of recycling old books and using mason jars for literally everything a reality. This crafty book mark idea from blog, Greenpaper, was found by way of Pinterest (of course) and is super easy…if you don't mind apart the exterior of dilapidated old novels. Simply slice off the spine with an x-acto knife, punch a hole in the top and tie a pretty ribbon for easy grabbing. Who cares if everyone you know has a Kindle, these will still make awesome gifts come the holidays and remind people of that very sentimental "musty library" smell that brings back ye old school days.
DIY Friday: Summer Sandal Flair
Here in Arizona it feels like sandals are appropriate footwear 90-percent of the year. Of course that could mean monotony. Not anymore. Behold, the completely customizable do-it-yourself idea for any pair of sandals courtesy of Daily Candy and I Spy DIY Style.
Here's all you will need: a pair of sandals (old or new), various colors of string, the tiniest bit of super glue and scissors.
To get started, wrap the the first color of string around a desired strap or piece of your sandal and tie in a knot. Continue wrapping the string to desired width. Knot it to the next color and repeat. Reinforce knots with dabs of superglue. For more detailed instructions, watch the video here.
Since the string isn't glued directly to the sandal itself you risk nothing. Feel free to try this same trick over and over with different sandals, different types of string and different color combinations and patterns … that will keep you on your toes.
DIY Friday: Baseball Bracelet
Celebrate America's favorite pastime by inviting a little piece of patriotic history to your arm party. We found this DIY project on Pinterest by way of blog, Kitty Cotten, and to create your own leather accessory is both simple and cheap, just how we like it. Just find yourself an old baseball, cut off the leather with a sharp exact-o-knife and pull the leather off the ball, slice around the stitching and then cut to your desired length while leaving the strings long. Then rebraid the stitching, tie off the ends and use a button to fasten for easy fastening. Then you are ready to eat peanuts and crackerjacks with your fancy hand worthy of the Great Bambino all summer long. Check out a pictorial tutorial here.
DIY Friday: Homemade Dog Treats
Nothing compares to an ice-cold treat on a hot day, be it a frosty beverage, an old-fashioned ice cream cone or maybe even dip in the pool. The same can be said for your furry friends. Admit it, you love your pup(s) and you're already thinking of creative ways to cool them off, especially once the temperatures hit the triple digits. So here is another idea for your arsenal.
There is a wide range of recipes for dog ice cream/popsicles/treats, so here is a relatively generic and totally customizable version that will have your BFFs going bananas (don't just take our word for it).
2 ripe bananas
24 – 32 oz. plain yogurt
1 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup water
1. Blend or mix all ingredients together until you have a consistent texture throughout.
2. Pour into ice cube trays, cupcake tins or any small container that will yield a treat appropriately sized for your dog.
3. Garnish (optional). Dog bones, grated cheese, fruits or veggies work great and look cute too.
4. Freeze over night and serve.
Since variety is the spice of life, here are some alternate suggestions: Add more or less water depending on the consistency you dog likes (soft vs. crunchy), substitute the water with chicken broth, substitute the yogurt with baby food (sweet potatoes and pumpkin are big hits) or use all organic ingredients if that's your thing. Remember, the combination of ingredients doesn't have to sound appealing for our four-legged children to love and appreciate the gesture. Enjoy.
DIY Friday: Wine Bottle Lamps
It's no secret we love when we can turn empty bottles of alcohol into some creative home project. This is due in part to our love for recycling and chic home furnishings, but more so because of our excessive drinking habits. We kid, but this DIY project on how to turn empty wine bottles into beautiful lights is no joke. Simply round up your empty wine bottles, soak them and remove the excess glue and get to drilling a small hole in the bottom so you can filter in light strands. Get step-by-step instructions from blog, Taste of Home and then there is no stopping how many of these you can filter through your home. It will give the feeling of an outdoor garden party with beautiful twinkle lights while indoors because let's face it, that ship has sailed.
DIY Friday: Thank You Notes
If you've resolved to be more crafty in the new year, then why not start by thanking everyone who made 2011 so great by showering you with piles of presents (or love and support blah, blah, blah)? We are in love with this hand made thank you note idea from Because I'm Addicted Blogger, Geri Hirsch. While it may seem the tradition of handwritten gone by the wayside with the younger generation, Hirsch takes it a step further by painting them herself to add even more of personal touch…and to save money in post-holiday penny pinching times. It does require a little more time and effort that the cards you churned out your the elementary school days, but creative freedom is up to you. Read how to make them Geri style here.

The do-it-yourself "mantel" is easy to accomplish and your ROI is tenfold if you consider all of the envious looks from friends and winter visitors. Just find a branch, spray paint it your desired hue and hang whatever holiday inspired ornaments your see fit. Twinkly lights? Dancing reindeer? Dreidels? The branch has no preference and will compliment any room desperately seeking a little holiday cheer.
DIY Friday: Holiday Ornaments
Thanksgiving is over which means we are officially on the high speed crazy train to Christmas Town and there ain't no stopping us now. With that in mind, here is another amazing DIY project from BLDG 25 that will having you decking everyone's halls with handmade cheer. Just pick up some of those clear Christmas bulbs from your local craft store and whatever objects you would like to fill it with to compliment your holiday decor. They used funky feathers and small, plastic woodland creatures to give off that signature whimsy, but the possibilities are endless. We love the idea of stuffing them with tinsel and hanging these bad boys from a wire over a mantel or filling them with family photographs and putting them on your tree to add a personal touch. If you make it happen, send us some pictures! We'd love to see the finished product. Let the countdown begin!
DIY Friday: Advent Calendar
While we know advent calendars are typically associated with Christmas count-downs, we are throwing this DIY up there with the hopes that you will use it for any countdown worthy occasion. Birthday? Payday? Start the countdown at 24 days away and treat yourself for patience courtesy of The DIY Showoff. Gather an old soda crate and the rest is really up to you. You can opt to number the boxes yourself, or paint with chalkboard paint and write funny little notes to keep up motivation. Fill the boxes with whatever makes you happy inside and you have a DIY project worthy of envy. If you do feel like using this calendar in the "traditional" sense, we suggest adding some twinkle lights and a dancing santa puppet….just a thought.
DIY Friday: Hexagon Table
We love simple DIY projects. They make us feel accomplished and crafty and boost our fragile egos rather than shatter them with the cold, hard realization that we aren't the next Martha Stewart clones (pre-jail). That's why this "Hexy Table" from Young House Love is one to try. Painting a table? Sounds easy enough. Just need the right tools and the right, old table scooped up off a neighbor's sidewalk. Check out the details here and you can Mod up your living room like it's 1965.
DIY Friday: Newspaper Nails
Sure, nail art looks cool, but it requires so much time, energy and patience and we just can't seem to justify throwing that all away for something so temporary. That's why this incredibly easy and absolutely adorable DIY Nail project from BLDG 25 caught our attention. To achieve the newspaper nail look, all you need is a light base coat, rubbing alcohol, newspaper and a clear top coat. Paint nails with desired color, let dry, soak in alcohol and then press a piece of newspaper over each nail. Cover over with the aforementioned top coat and intrigue people with your Pulitzer Prize worthy fingers. And who says this generation isn't well read?
DIY Friday: Tree Branch Curtain Rod
We always thought curtain rods were a pretty standard household item with little creativity involved. In fact, we hadn't given them much thought before we stumbled upon this DIY blog, Olive and Love. It may not be the easiest thing to find large tree branches in AZ (we're 99.9% sure this blogger is from Canada due to the not-so-subtle use of "eh"), but you can find decorative "tree branches" at places like World Market, Pier One and even Michael's. Just find and cut the right ones for the window you want to use, buy or make curtains to slip on and voila! You can even spray paint them any color to jazz them up a bit. If you want the full directions on how to do it the Mountain Man way, go here.
DIY Friday: Pixel Painting
All these overcast days and cooler temperatures just make us want to curl up with a good book, a cup of tea and James Blake playing on a loop. If the creativity bug bites you during all this "in" time, you might want to try this Pixel Painting idea given to us by Wit & Whistle. Find a photo you love, blow up the pixels in photoshop and then trace the grid onto canvas (or paper) before filling in with watercolor paints. The finished product will have the essence of your favorite photograph and all the satisfaction knowing you made it happen. Get more detailed directions here and happy painting happy pixelated little trees (or what have you).
DIY Friday: Feather Necklace
Fear of commitment is natural when it comes to the big stuff. Relationships, a new apartment, a feather hair extension, these things require lots of thought before taking the plunge. That is why we are all about the idea of a feather necklace or earrings as a way to embrace the trend, but have it all up in our hair at all times. Here's a video from The Coveted on how to make them yourself! Or, if you aren't in to the whole "arts and crafts" thing, head on into to Free People Fashion Square today and pick up a handmade version with every purchase of $200 or more.
DIY Friday: Bright Idea Lamp
SkyMall never ceases to amaze us, but when we saw that you could buy a kit to put together this amazing lamp of awesomeness, it flew a little higher in our hearts. The DIY Coil Lamp designed by Craighton Berman on the website The Future Perfect is only $79 and takes any preconceived notion of a table lamp to a much more modern level. Like most assembly required items, the light bulb is not included. Order it here and turn something as simple as your light fixture into a hot topic of conversation.
DIY Friday: Shirt Skirt
You may be amazed at how easily this week's DIY project is accomplished, but we were mostly amazed at how such a simple idea could have such a stinkin' cute result. The DIY Skirt Shirt from BLDG 25 requires no scissors, glue, hammers or nails nor does it require any time at all. Simply take an old, oversized button-down shirt (boyfriends are good for something), button it half way up from the bottom, step on into it and tie the sleeves around your waist. The possibilities for styling are endless and the chances for coworker coveting are 100%.
DIY Friday: Oversized Light Fixture
Change is not only an inevitability, but also a necessity when it comes to home furnishing. Budget may not permit a complete decor makeover every year, but little DIY projects like this oversized light fixture from Young House Love can really make all the difference when you just need something to give. Not to mention it only takes $32 and an hour of your time.
After taking an existing light fixture and an oversized lampshade, these crafty bloggers were able to transform their entire office with very little effort. By cutting a neutral, slightly opaque piece of fabric and fastening it to the bottom of the lampshade before attaching it to the fixture, the lampshade element of the piece vanishes and a softer light glows while giving a very chic vibe to an everyday room. Read all the directions here and flip through the before and after photos after the jump. »READ MORE
DIY Friday: Nutella Ice Cream
Yeah, you read that right. The amazingness of everyone's favorite chocolate hazelnut spread is undeniable, but we were brought to our knees at the thought of a Nutella flavored ice cream, especially with the heat wave in full, sweaty swing. The best part is that you can make this creamy delicious frozen treat by yourself thanks to the blog, Wit and Whistle. Get the scoop (haha) after the jump. »READ MORE
DIY Friday: Sequin Canvas Lantern
Lights, camera, lanterns! Who needs to read a long list of materials and instructions on how to make a sequin canvas lantern when there's a convenient video you can watch to get step-by-step instructions helpfully narrated by someone from BLDG 25.Crafty, pretty and perfect for the outdoor parties that you are already dreaming of, these simple lights can be made with any fabric or embellishments of your choosing.
DIY Friday: The Light Bulb Vase
If your thumbs are all twiddled out and you are through with watching How I Met Your Mother re-runs, here's a little project to keep you occupied. Thought up by those crazy creative types over at BLDG 25, this DIY light bulb vase is both simple and yep, you guessed it, whimsical. You just need to gather up some of those out-of-date light bulbs (hello? are we not in the age of LED?), pliers and gardening wire. Read more for the instructions and impress yourself with your use of the three R's. Your kindergarten teacher would be so proud. »READ MORE
DIY Friday: Whole Wheat Cookie Skillet
Alright, so, technically this isn't a "home project", but we couldn't resist sharing this recipe for an amazing homemade chocolate chip cookie skillet from Wit & Whistle. While you can't hang it on your wall or use it more than once, you do have to do it yourself so we're going to go ahead and count it. Get the recipe and method straight from the blog after the jump. The best part? You don't have wait over an hour or eat to much "filler food" to get what you really came for. Oh yeah, we know that trick. »READ MORE
DIY Friday: Instagram Photo Wall
We've all heard the saying, "take a picture, it will last longer," but usually the motive behind the words is less than friendly. We are about to change that with the help of the blog BLDG 25 and the amazing instagram photo wall. Rather than obnoxiously posting your every move onto Twitter or Facebook, you can upload them to your instagram account and create this "visual diary" to remind you of your travels and every day experiences. All you need is an instragram account, a piece of white poster board (however big or little) and some glue! Print out your photo memories, tack 'em on and voila! A beautiful collage of your own making is at your disposal. You can also trade photos with friends to keep it interesting and then show them….in person….what you've been up to. What a fabulous concept.

A lovely beef stew made with red wine and several spices. Cooked for hours, it will melt in your mouth and warm your heart. This dish smells like Christmas to me.
Nancy is the Coupon Clipping Cook, which means she not only has an astounding number of recipes to share with us (her TK recipe box is busting at the seams!) but she's also got loads of money-saving tips in her blog (she worked at a grocery store for a number of years, so she knows her stuff). She has some pretty amazing creations, like Roasted Garlic Potato Soup and Nutty Coconut Chicken. Go check them out!
Heather is a Texas native and the blogger behind Heather's Dish. She's mom to Weston, wife to Nate, and they live in Little Rock, Arkansas with their two "stubborn and saucy" dogs Bunker and Keira. In her blog, she shares her photographs, random musings (serious and silly alike), and all kinds of scrumptious recipes---and not just evil variations of her favorite mac and cheese. Her enviable TK recipe box is a testament to that. Go see for yourself!

As I stood at the church door greeting people Sunday, I received a phone call that my nephew in Augusta, Ga., was found dead. What a shock!
We buried his mother (my sister) less than three months ago. His father has advanced Parkinson's disease and the three of them lived together, with my nephew caring for his father and mother. His father has been sick for a long time, so no one would have predicted that my sister and my nephew would have died first.
Our American freedoms were born July 4, 1776, with signing of the Declaration of Independence. This document was based on an unchanging premise: "Every human being derives his inalienable rights from the owner and operator of this universe, almighty God, who revealed himself in Jesus Christ." This thread runs throughout our history.
"Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him." Genesis 28:1
In Bible times, fathers placed their hands on their children's heads and spoke certain promises over them, passing on the blessing from generation to generation.
It's why "Isaac called Jacob and blessed him," and why Jacob refused to die before blessing his grandchildren, Genesis 48:14.
Few if any would argue that the church's influence is waning in our secular society. We have been witness to a generation reared with very few moral absolutes in the home, schools and even churches.
Go back through history and you will find that when the home collapses, and there is an accompanying loss of moral values, a nation will not last past one or two generations, unless there is a spiritual renewal. Many would say that we are witnessing the disintegration of a culture in our lifetime. We have lost the concept of personal responsibility for our own transgressions.
All of us at times get discouraged causing us to be defeated in our worthwhile goals in life. What causes discouragement?
Discouragement may begin in the home. Some are easily discouraged because of experiences they had as children. Children who are not loved easily turn from their goals in life. They feel unworthy of pursuing worthy goals.
Sometimes standards are too high in the home. The child does his best, but it never seems to be good enough. Such children never really have satisfying experiences.
The human voice is a wonderful thing. Man is the only animal to which God gave the gift of speech. With his voice man is able to say "I love you," sing praises to God, make his wishes known, express appreciation, pray to God and preach the unsearchable riches of God.
It would have been wonderful to have lived on the earth when Jesus was here and have heard his voice. Surely it was rich, full and vibrant. But there is something more important than the sound of the voice and it is what you say with that voice.
Recently it was my honor to bring the first graduation address for the Leitchfield Christian Academy, which was founded during my ministry there. My message began with some remarks from the late Sir Winston Churchill made some years ago at a Yale commencement where he followed a Yale alumnus who was receiving an honorary degree. The alumnus had elaborated extensively about the university with each letter of "YALE" a point in his speech.
"It's not right to take bread … and throw it to dogs." Matthew 15:26
Desperation puts us in situations where we've nothing to lose. When our pain level gets high enough, we'll do whatever it takes to find relief.
On Saturday, 200 volunteers arrived at the building site of Gospel of Grace Baptist Church on Old E'town Road. A flurry of activity followed as the mission group constructed the new building from the basement up – at no charge to the church.
By Thursday, the church plans to have its first service in the new building at 7 p.m., preceded by a meal at 6 p.m.

Foxy Shazam, Maniac, Cadaver Dogs
Thursday, March 29, 7:30PM at Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. $12/14. AA.
Come Again?
Many have dubbed Foxy Shazam front man Eric Nully as the second coming of the late, great Freddie Mercury. Frankly, we think that's sacrilege. But we get it. Both on stage and on their new record, The Church of Rock and Roll, the band's brand of shamelessly Queen-inspired glam rock can be something close to a religious experience. And given the intensity of Foxy Shazam's sweaty, sex-fueled show, you may need to go to confession after their set at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Thursday, March 29. Maniac and Cadaver Dogs open.
