Now, Oreos are not my favorite cookie by any STRETCH of the imagination, BUT this is still an awesome header!  Thanks Pete!  

What?

MY favorite?

Without a doubt, oatmeal raisin…specifically, Mary’s homemade oatmeal raisin, but any oatmeal raisin beats any other cookie hands down.  Now, second place would be the Samoas from the Girl Scouts.  Just so you know.

So, no updates on the generation gap, cause I just sent it out and you guys haven’t seen it yet, but just so you remember, tell me what generation you are, so I can do a good spread.  Of the 488 Subscribers and the roughly 700 weekly visitors to the website, I’d like to know what age bracket you fall into … no, what generation bracket … if you’re willing to share that. 

Come to find out that Word Press is somewhat tracking the countries of where you guys are.  I just found this out.  Some of it is pretty cool information.  Here’s a graphic I put together.  This is visitors over the last 30 days.

When you look at it for a year or for all time, it is REALLY cool.  

Anyway, let’s get on to the good stuff, shall we?

Before the internet, people thought villages only had one idiot. Boy, were we wrong.

Me: [getting off the couch] I’ll be right back.
My Dog: I would feel more comfortable if we went together.

Why?  Why, why, why?

Normally I would save this for the Last Word, but the way my day is going I’m sure I would forget, so I’m going to just put this right here. 🙂  This is copied from, somewhere else, by someone else, and forwarded by someone else again.  But, I understand why, because it’s that good.

You’ll cry over a sermon but won’t change a habit.  Feeling moved isn’t the goal — being transformed is.

How often do we walk out of a powerful sermon in tears – deeply moved, deeply convicted – yet return to the same habits, the same choices, the same patterns that keep us stuck?

The truth is, emotion isn’t the evidence of transformation. Obedience is. Tears can mark the beginning of change, but if they don’t lead to action, they become little more than a fleeting moment.

God’s Word was never meant to just stir your heart, it’s meant to shape your life. If we’re inspired on Sunday but unchanged by Monday, something’s missing.

Conviction without correction leads to spiritual stagnation. Transformation happens when we stop being hearers only and start living the truth daily, when we apply what we’ve received.

Don’t settle for being moved, be transformed.
Don’t just listen to the truth, live it.
That’s what real worship looks like. That’s what growth looks like. That’s what it means to walk with God.

It’s a great message that’s really needed right now.  Be Transformed.

That’s just mean!

Okay, got a bunch of these, and they may be a little late, but that’s because I’m a bit ahead…the whole time traveling thing that I’m doing right now…so let’s do this…

Looking around on line MANY media sources seem to think that the President made a mistake in bombing Iran; that we should have stayed out of it.  Okay, this is just one dragon’s opinion, but let me try to build a little bit of a case up here.  

This is a people that believe that America is the big Satan and Israel is the little Satan.
They believe that if they die while killing Jews or Americans then they will go to paradise with 70 (or 72) virgins.
They have been taught since childhood that they are supposed to kill all the Jews in the world.
They have been taught that Israel is their ancient land, even though the Jews have owned that land 2,000 plus years longer than Islam has even existed.  (Mohamad was not born until the 600s AD).
So, everything they believe and everything they preach is a lie, so there is no logic that we can argue against there.  If you give them a nuclear weapon, you can’t expect them to just hold on to it so that they are “Protected” like everyone else.  Even though they KNOW they will be turned into a glass parking lot, they don’t care (remember the 72 virgins) give them a nuke and they will immediately launch it towards Israel.  They had to be stopped before they got that far.

HAD TO BE.

Trump tried diplomacy first, even though we ALL knew it wouldn’t work.  But he had to.  The Israelis didn’t have to and they didn’t.

Like I said, one dragon’s opinion.

That is awesome!!!!!  What a great crib!

What the heck?!?!  An orange gun!  Although it sounds like a lot of fun, shooting teenagers is not a great idea (although I will openly admit that there are plenty of teenagers that I’d love to shoot with an orange)

Yeah!  You better run!

I’m all for deporting illegal immigrants.  But at this point, I’m ready to deport the people who keep fighting to let them stay, also.

Honestly, Vegan food ain’t that bad — once you add meat and cheese to it.

And that’s the perfect example.

2525

We are now only 500 years away from finding out if man is still alive.

That is a REALLY esoteric reference, so in the interest of everyone “getting it”

And that’s the end of this one.  Having time off is getting me quite a bit ahead.
