Have you been to most government offices?
Have you been into many private offices}
If not, compare the two and you will find helpful people are much better than governmental offices. In government offices, you feel ht you are interrupting their coffee break or gabfest. If you really want to be harrassed then visit Congress.
Perhaps their two brain cells work together to promote negatives. They think that they are positive, however, they are positively negative. If they see the bright stars they would rather watch mud puddles.
As with your vice president. I would agree if you removed the not. Also, if there were no "not" in your dialogue I insert one in that sentence.
Seriously, I appreciate your information, which the "no-brained" readers, who read, but can not tell t***h from fiction. Great put down The reason that the "demorats" don't understand your sarcasm is because of the lack of "first grade intelligence level of comprehension" of those who are being taught in public schools. The Russians, Chinese and other c*******tic countries, who believe that American school teaches "Dance and play activities."
Five weeks ago a friend gave me a computer. Averaging 7 hours a day listening to classical music, I have written 363.33 words a day. This t***slates to about 2 and a half 225 page books.
Proud to agree with you. I miss Reagan and Trump. I even miss Jimmy Carter
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:14-15).
The above one shook some members in the congregation
The Lord’s prayer states forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Therefore if we do not forgive others then we are still in sin and our sins cannot be forgiven.
The Apostle Paul put forgiveness into a slightly different framework in Ephesians 4:32:
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
He said a very similar thing in Colossians 3:13:
“Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
When Peter (a man who knew from experience the value of forgiveness) wrote his first epistle, he summed it up this way: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” That’s I Peter 4:8.
There is another way to say it, and it comes from the “Love Chapter"—I Corinthians 13. While describing the greatest virtue, Paul declared that “love … keeps no record of wrongs” (I Corinthians 13:5). That little phrase deserves a closer examination. Eugene Peterson (The Message)
says it this way, “Love … doesn’t keep score of the sins of others.” Love doesn’t keep score because love has a bad memory. It finds a way to forget the sins of others.
Finally, we have the greatest, most profound statement on this topic in the entire Bible, the finest, purest, highest example of forgiveness. When he hung on the cross, condemned to death by evil men who plotted to murder him, who produced lying witnesses to convict him, as he surveyed the howling mob assembled to cheer his suffering, Jesus the Son of God, the One who knew no sin, the only truly innocent man who ever walked this sin-cursed planet, in his dying moments uttered words that still ring across the centuries: “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). Those 11 tortured words sweep away all our shabby excuses. They reveal the barrenness of our heart; they rip the cover off our unrighteous anger and show it for what it is. Many of us say, “If only the people who hurt me would show some remorse, some sorrow, then maybe I would forgive them.” But since that rarely happens, we use that as an excuse to continue in our bitterness, our anger, and our desire to get even.

NOTE This sermon inspired me to write about Faith & Fear
They both have the same definition: "Knowing there will be a great outcome in the future."
"Faith" is positive - everything will work out for the best, "I studied, so I will ace the exam."
"Fear is negative: "Knowing that there will be a rotten future. Examples are I can't pass its exam", "My teacher doesn't like me" "White people don't understand"
My mother's favorite saying about this was her example: "Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw mud, the other stars"
An organization each Tuesday asks people with unusual backgrounds to talk about their lives. I have had four careers, had my picture taken in the cell with Tojo who was "The Hitler of Japan", I was on one of TV's earliest quiz shows "Sense and nonsense" quiz show and we won 10 shows with a total of $720 in prize money
In 1954 I was in a group of teenagers "Pascack Vally Hospital Teen-Age Auxillary," which was started to overcome Teen Age Delinquincy problems. Readers Digest wrote about us and we helped start many similar teen age groups.
I have written and published a variety of subjects and one of my favorites was "Fanous People Who Have Met Me. I am writing a second edition, which I should finish with a month. I will send you an email edition if you send $25 dollars to Dwight Logan, PO Box 52383, Knoxville, TN. Don't forget to include your email address. You should have your copy emailed by the middle of July. My first edition sold over 200,000 copies.

For many years Paul Harvey was a "monoversationist", a one-man show and he very rarely had" a guest" on his show. We all looked forward to hearing his "bumper stickers." He said that the title above was his favorite bunker sticker.
Throughout my 85 years, I have run into both sides. My mother's favorite saying, which summarizes the concept, is a great lesson to learn, "Two men looked out from behind bars. One saw mud and the other stars."
Tuesday I was scheduled to deliver a speech by phone. Being positive I knew that this would work out well. Mallory Head, who has helped me with my computer, had an appointment and could not be here. I wrote my outline and she was to print it for me. Erin Longmeyer, her boss came to my room and emailed my talk and printed it. Ten minutes prior to my call my phone was not working and a maintenance worker stopped by and said he would be right back. One minute before time to speak he had my phone working. We eat at 11:45 and the dietician had my lunch delivered to my room.
I have been a patient at NHC Rehab for 7 months and recently wrote a press release that gave Kudos to HNC for helping their patients.
To keep this short, I gave my speech, which was being recorded, and spoke for an hour and forty minutes.
My parents spin in their graves every time the word "woke" is used improperly. The proper word is "awakened." The proper use of "woke" would be I woke up.
I have been in a rehab center for seven months and am often asked what the joke of the day was. One of the nurse's aids asked what the joke of the day was. I had just come out of the bathroom and they had put a
new diaper on. After a few minutes, she asked if I had run out of jokes. The diaper was loose ad started to slip. I told her that from now on I wanted everyone to call me "London" and I started singing "London's BRITCHES falling down. About an hour later, I left my room and people were calling me "London."
Recently I was eating in the dining room at the rehab center and I was choking on food. Beth Roach was at the other end of the restaurant and saw me choking. She immediately came and gave me the Heimlich maneuver and saved my life.
My wife and I are so thankful that she did not hesitate. She is my gift from God.
For the last 15 years I have used oxygen because of asthma and COPD. Two months ago I was taken off of the oxygen and have had no problems.
I have had diabetes for 18 years and took insulin several times a day. Last week they cut me down to one shot a day.
A couple of months ago I fell and I have about finished my program to walk again.

I have spent many hours with President Trump. he seems to be omniscient. His sharp mind will analyze wh**ever When The Donald graduated from college his father gave him many apartments in Trump City. The bad guys used that because of their resentment, jealousy and avaricious vendetta.
When his sister graduated their father gave her the same number of apartments and he bought her out. I believe that his two-faced opponents were shocked when they found out about his ability to pierce their brains and be "the ma with the plan."
Many times I have witnessed him helping those who were down and out. If he knew what people needed he would send his plane to pick up the family and take and pay for their stay, wherever they had to be. One time, prior to car phone became common, he and I were in his car. Ne listened and after a few minutes, he told them to have a helicopter pick them up and take them to a certain airport. His private plane would meet them and fly the family wherever they had to go.
His enemies would never help others using their win ill-begotten funds. Jealousy is a disease and his enemies are very sick.

Throughout my life, I have taught technical courses and written about various subjects. I came up with the word "dumbiosities." It uses crazy or silly words to describe something.
Warning, this is not a joke. For 18 years I have been a diabetic and as of this morning, I am down to one insulin shot a day.
This is not a joke either, although I thought it was very funny. I have had a best friend for thirty-nine years. Yesterday he drove from Michigan to visit me in my rehab center in Tennessee. After our visit, he drove back to Michigan. One of the people asked him how he put up with me for 39 years. He told that person that he was a masochist
When she speaks a sentence that has a "not" in it I remove it. If there is no "not" I add one. "Methinks", which she never has, and never will "think" So far Jimmy Carter has Obama who was worse than Carter, and Biden who also is worse than Carter, and when Biden who is worse than Carter, he will have "I ain't got no idea nor want to have an idea of what a Vic-President does. or should do." The more of these Democrats we have, the higher he will be "in his own mind" as a President.
I am a staunch Conservative and a devout Christian, but I do admire President Carter for some of his progressive thinking and his Christian devotion to God.
