New School Prayer.

Post 472 ~ ~ ~ Saturday, 28th June, 2008.

Hello Everyone ~~ I hope the weekend is going well for you
all. Going well here, my football team had another win this
afternoon, so that was good. Had a few callers during the day
which is always nice.

The very best news is from Peter's blog where he told us that
his daughter, Vicki got very good results from her doctors
and they are hoping for a full recovery. I do hope so and that
the pain she has been having will be eased with medication.
She has had a very hard time with it all. Peter should be home
tomorrow (Sunday.) He has been staying with Warren for a few
days. He was in South Australia for nearly 3 months.

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday and I still miss him lots. He
passed away in January, 2oo2, aged 90 1/2.

Tonight's story was sent to me by my dear friend, Margaret
Thank you Margaret. It is called "Outlawed" and was written
by a 15 year old school kid in Geelong, Victoria.

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not
allowed in most public schools anymore because the word
God is mentioned.

A Kid in Geelong, Vic wrote the attached :-

NEW School prayer :

Now, I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offence - it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the "unwed daddy," our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take !!! Amen.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please pass it on.

Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me,
I will be ashamed of you before my Father."

This one is funny, so no eating or drinking
while you read it. Be warned.

Several people have sent me this one -- "AAADD."
Know the symptoms - - please read on:

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better, even though I have it.!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. --
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder,
This is how it manifests itself :

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the
porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the
garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out
the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay
the bills first.

I take my cheque-book off the table,and see that
there is only one cheque left.

My extra cheques are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where I
find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I
need to push the Coke aside so that I don't
accidentlly knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put
it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye --
they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and discover my
reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but
first I'm going ro water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly spot the TV
remote, Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be
looking for the remote, but I won't remember that
it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the
lounge where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it
spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels
and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember
what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day :

the car isn't washed,

the bills aren't paid

there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter

The flowers don't have enough water

there is still only one check in my cheque book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

The, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,

I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail . . . .

Do me a favor. Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

Don't laugh ~~ If this isn't you yet, your day is coming.

Do you know what would have happened if the three
wise men had been women instead?

They would have asked directions, arrived on time,
helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a
casserole, and brought practical gifts.

THE AUSSIE LOVE POEM.

Of course I love ya darlin', you're a bloody top notch bird --
Andwhen I say you're gorgeous, I mean every single word.

So ya bum is on the big side, I don't mind a bit of flab,
It means that when I'm ready, there's something there
to grab.

Now ya belly isn't flat no more, I tell ya I don't care --
As long as when I cuddle ya, I can get my arms round
there.

No sheila who is your age, has nice round perky breasts --
They give in to gravity, but I know you did your best.

I'm tellin' ya the truth now, I never tell ya lies --
I think it's very sexy that you've got dimples in your thighs.

I swear on me Nana's grave now, the moment that we met--
I thought you was as good as I was evr gonna get.

No matter what ya look like, I'll always love you Dear--
Now shut-up while the footy's on, and get another beer.!!

<><>Fortunately that is not too typical !!!

Shortly after arriving in prison, an inmate had to have
three teeth extracted. Later he had a finger cut off in a
kitchen brawl.

When his appendix was removed, one of the wardens
confided to a colleague: "Better keep an eye on that
chap. I think he is trying to escape bit by bit."

Did you hear about the cat who gave birth in a Singapore
street? It got fined for littering.

"How's your new job at the factory?" one man asked
another.
"I'm not going back there."
"Why not ?"
"For many reasons," he answered. The sloppiness,
the shoddy workmanship, the awful language - - -
they just couldn't put up with it."
