Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes,  forgetting that   it was there long before they were...  A certain Lieutenant Colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back.  Apparently, an  individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall.   When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must have stung quite a bit.   The complaint: 'Question of the day for Luke Air Force Base:   Whom do we thank for the morning air show?  Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11 A.M, a tight  formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead  Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately  500 feet.  Imagine our good fortune!  Do the Tom Cruise-wannabees feel we need thi...

Christmas Tree Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year which prompted CBS presenter, Steven Levy, to present this piece which I would like to share with you. I think it applies just as much to many countries as it does to America. A little sanity please...   Only hope we find GOD again before it is too late! T he following was written by Steven Levy and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. My confession: I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat...Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from th...

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2016 when... 1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. 6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. 7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. 8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : ) 12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 13. Ev...

This is one of the most amazing Christmas light displays I have ever seen.  It was in Cincinnati, displayed momentarily on the news. They had  to shut it down because it was causing traffic jam in the neighbor. This  person is a computer programmer for sure.

   Lets see if we can spread the true spirit of Christmas.  We have an excellent way of  reaching thousands through the internet.  Let  each of us do our part in letting people know Christ is the reason for Christmas.. Not adding sales up on cash registers for gifts bought, not replacing the word Christmas for Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays.  Let's insist on saying only Merry 'Christ'mas!     Christmas is not santa claus, not Rudolph, not replacing the beautiful Christmas Carols with senseless tunes that have taken their place.  How sad Jesus must be to hear.. Grandma got ran over by a reindeer!  Christmas is not for seeing how far we can go into debt trying to please loved ones, and certainly not for putting so much stress on ourselves, we break down, try suicide, or hate the thought of Christmas!  How must Jesus feel to know His birthday has taken on a commercial...

A TOUCHING CHRISTMAS STORY A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed.   Walking through the mall the surprised wife look up and noticed her  husband was no where around and she was very upset because they had a lot to do.   She used her cell phone to call her husband because she was so upset, to ask him where he was.   The husband in a calm voice said, "honey remember the jewelry store we went into  5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we  could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day."   His wife said crying, "yes, I remember that jewelry store."   He said, "well I'm in the bar next to it."

Pregnant turkey  One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs! , Yep..................SHE'S BLONDE 

 

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP. I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP. THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE, BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT. TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION, THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION. SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR, AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE. GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES, PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES. I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND, 'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND. I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY, WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE. BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES.... HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE. MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP. MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP. MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS. MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE, MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF O...
