I have a framed "poster" dated 5-7-52. It contains a prayer attributed to Conrad Hilton. The prayer follows this preamble:

*** America on its knees ***
... not beaten there by hammer and sickle, but FREELY, INTELLIGENTLY, RESPONSIBLY, CONFIDENTLY, POWERFULLY. America now knows it can destroy communism and win the battle for peace. We need fear nothing or no one ... ....except God.

Remember, now was 1952. I was a lad of 9 years old. How far we have come. Or, have we fallen. We've been to the moon, but we haven't been victorious since. We've done much to put prejudice and injustice behind us, yet we keep both alive. The prayer gives great insight into our real problem. Maybe I'll post it later.

Hope you are thankful you still live in the greatest nation in the world, even if we have been so reckless with it.

Here's to the best head coach yet coming our way!

The problem we have now..is... too many people think they are a victim. They think society owes them something. They take no responsibility for anything and want to blame others for their misfortune.

Dear God, my prayer for 2013 is for a fat bank account & a thin body.
Please don't mix these up like you did last year.
AMEN!!!

It was an act of excessive grace.

All of TECH NATION needs to boycott the I-Bowl. If someone offers to give you free tickets...tell them thanks, but you are a Louisiana Tech fan and you no longer support the I-Bowl. Tell them thanks, but they can keep their tickets.

I posted this a while back. But, the more I read it...the more it reminds me of BB&B.

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked "What a shame the old man is walking and the boy is riding."

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later they passed some people who remarked "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."

So they then decided they'd both walk!

Soon they passed some more people who remarked "They're really stupid to walk when they have a decent donkey to ride."

So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying, " How cruel it is to put such a load on a poor donkey." So they got off and carried the animal.

As they crossed a bridge with the donkey in their arms, they lost their grip on the beast. It fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye.
