The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

I have been on vacation for the past 3 weeks with rare opportunities to blog or check my e-mail. Before this vacation, I was addicted to my computer and thought I couldn't live without it. After my vacation, I realized it wasn't as important as I had previously thought. I guess that's a good thing.
The 2nd best thing about my vacation was; I didn't hear, read or talk politics. That alone was refreshing. I was surrounded by good people with positive attitudes and no complaints. It was like being in a fantasy world. At least I know that family is more important than anything money can buy.
My sister's new home is almost finished. It is beautiful and spacious. It will be ready in time for her husband's arrival home from Iraq, (a medic) and to enjoy Christmas. I've been invited to join them, but I have decided to get my own place.
My ring is ready, so, I will be getting engaged very shortly. Life is great!
The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts…
The Pope, Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts were in a three-way plane crash over the Pacific Ocean. They all died and went to heaven together.
"Oh, this is terrible," exclaims St. Peter. "I know you guys think we summoned you here, but this is just one of those coincidences that happen. Since we weren't expecting you, your quarters just aren't ready... We can't take you in and we can't send you back..."Then he got an idea. He picked up the phone, "Lucifer, this is St. Peter. Hey, I got these three guys up here. They're ours, but we weren't expecting them, and we gotta fix the place up for them. I was hoping you could put them up for a while. It'll only be a few of days. What d'ya say?"
Reluctantly, the Devil agreed.
However, two days later... St. Peter got a call.
"Pete, this is Lucifer. Hey, you gotta come get these guys. This Pope fellow is forgiving everybody, the Graham guy is saving everybody, and that Roberts has raised enough money to buy air conditioning."

One day God was looking down at
earth and saw all of the rascally
behavior that was going on. So He called one of
His angels to go to
earth for a time. When he returned, he told God,
"Yes, it is bad on
Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are
not" God thought for a
moment and said,
"Maybe I had better send down another angel to get
a second opinion." So God called another
angel and sent him to earth for a
time too. When the angel returned he went to God
and said, "Yes,
it's true. The earth is in decline; 95% are
misbehaving, but 5% are being
good." God was not pleased. So He decided to
e-mail the 5 % who were
good, because He wanted to encourage them, give them a little
something
to help them keep going. Do you know what the
e-mail said?
No?
Okay, just checking with you. I didn't get one either...
This lady approaches a priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have these two talking female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."
"What do they say?" the priest asked.
"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we are prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?'"
"That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "But I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two talking female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots who I have taught to pray and read the Bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to pray and worship."
"Thank you," said the lady.
The next day, the lady brings her female parrots to the priest's house. The priest's two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage.
The lady puts her female talking parrots in with the male talking parrots and the female parrots say, "Hi, we are prostitutes! Do you want to have some fun?"
One male parrot looks over to the other male parrot and screams, "Frank! Put the Bibles away--our prayers have been answered!"
