NATURAL

A BLESSED JULY 4th
I have no Photos to post with this so I hope I can paint a beautiful word picture for you. One of the Greatest things was the "Freedom" to celebrate and worship the Country & God I love and serve. As a Veteran, I often look back and around to see if my military efforts were worth it or in vain. Today, as I was doing the meat on the Bar-B-Que, the twinkle in the eyes and smiles on the faces of my daughter and two grandsons told the story. Yes, It was very well worth it. I sincerely believe that Nathan will have his own trained Bug Circus . Yup! Trained Locus & Grasshoppers walking the "Tight Rope", while a legion of Flies do "Aeronautical figure 8's around them, Butterflies on the "Trapeze", and Mice balancing gumballs on their noses while standing upright on the tip of their tails. Oh..... there's more I could say but you got the picture. I hope each and every one took time to say a Prayer for our Military, Elected Officals and our beloved Country. God Bless - Just me!

TURBULENCE
From my "Little Bunk House on the Prairie" to you.......
I face many storms every day and many times feel like I'm not
going to make it. I pray a lot and converse with my Guardian Angels
a lot. I have a copy of this someplace but received it today in an email
from a great friend. She seems to know when I'm under a lot of pressure.
I thought it might be a help or blessing to someone out there is my prayer.
TURBULENCE
A pastor had been on a long flight between church conferences. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: Fasten Your Seat Belts.
Then, after a while, a calm voice said, 'We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.
As the pastor looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive.
Later, the voice on the intercom said, 'We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.
And then the storm broke . . .. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightning Lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash. The pastor confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, 'As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying. The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm.
'Then, I suddenly saw a little girl. Apparently the storm meant nothing to her. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat; she was reading a book and every- thing within her small world was calm and orderly. 'Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity, when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid.' The minister could hardly believe his eyes.
It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark, our pastor lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and the behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.
The child replied, 'Cause my Daddy's the pilot, and he's taking me home.
There are many kinds of storms that buffet us. Physical, mental, financial, domestic, and many other storms can easily and quickly darken our skies and throw our plane into apparently uncontrollable movement. We have all known such times, and let us be honest and confess, it is much easier to be at rest when our feet are on the ground than when we are being tossed about a darkened sky.
Let us remember: Our Father is the Pilot. He is in control and taking us home. Don't worry!
Our God is an everlasting Rock'.... Isaiah 26:4

TRIUMPH
Well...., Welcome back to the "Little Bunk House on the Prairie" and
my little end of the world.
It has been a few days since I was on this Train of Verbal Chat.
Hope all has been well with all of ya. Things have been quit busy
for me. Ebay offered a 1cent listing fee for 4 days in March and you
guessed it, Jonas went nuts. I listed close to 200 items at a very low
starting bid and the buyers jumped all over them. By the time the
Sales ended, I was Shipping (and still am) 25 to 30 packages every
other day. This I can "REALLY PRAISE " God for. Why? A few months
or so ago, we had our Texas State Missions Rep. here and he didn't preach
the usual Mission Sermon you may be used to hearing. Long story short, I
made some personal decisions that Sunday Night. I dedicated my entire
Ebay thing to the Lord and decided to (above my Tithes) give a percentage
to Missions (above my Mission Pledge) and a percentage to the Youth Work.
God has really been blessing me in doing this.
TRIUMPH
"It's not the critic who counts.......It's not the man who points out how the
Strong man stumbled..........Credit belongs to the man who really was
in the arena, his face marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly, who errs to come up short and short again, because there is
no effert without error and shortcoming. It is the man who actually
strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiam and great devotion,
who spends himself on a worthy cause, who, at best, knows in the end
the triumph of great achievement. And who, at worst, if he fails, at least
fails daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
cruel souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

THE RABBIT AND THE BLONDE
Important News Flash from....."The LITTLE BUNK HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE"
Hey Hi Ya'll......I am Waaaaaay to tired to be Blogging and it's late but,..........If I
don't get this Blonde Joke out of my system, Easter just might be a bigger blast
than I thought. Hmmmm!!! Stay with me, ya gotta read the whole thang (that's
Texas for Thingy).
THE RABBIT AND THE BLONDE
A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out
across the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid hitting it,
but unfortunatly the rabbit jumped right in front of the car.
The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover,
pulls over and gets out to see what became of the rabbit.
Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.
The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.
A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man
crying on the side of the road and pulls over.
She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.
"I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidently hit this rabbit and
killed it."
The blonde says, "Don't Worry."
She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.
She walks over to the limp rabbit, bends down, and sprays the
contents onto the rabbit.
The Rabbit jumps up, waves it's paw at the two of them and
hops off down the road.
Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again,
he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, and
repeates this again and again and again until he hops out of sight.
The man is astonished.
He runs over to the blonde and demands, "What is in the Can?
What did you spray on that rabbit?"
The blonde turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

Spring Break & Ronald Reagan
It has been a while but, here it is........"The Little Bunk House On The Prairie"
is still alive and well!
Wow! Spring break over half over, ugh!!!!! Anyway, What a fantastic, wonderful men's fellowship & dinner we had tonight. God has really been moving and speaking to hearts BIG TIME, a Very Real Presents and Moving of the Holy Ghost. For tonights meeting we were to read and comment on Deut. 28. What A powerful Chapter. Each person there spoke something a little different that they got from this but every one there concluded with almost the same thought, as Jesus prayed in the garden "Not My Will But Thine Be Done" was our earnest prayer and commitment.
Well, I have been able to get a lot done at my house as far as getting some things rearrange and boxes unpacked that needed to be and hauled of a bunch to stuff and gotten rid of or taked to Goodwill to donate. Thank You Jesus!!! I was also able to move a lot of stuff out of Stephanie's garage.
MY FAVORITE QUOTES BY RONALD REAGAN
>"Here's my strategy on the Cold War, We Win; They Lose."
>"The most terrifying words in the English Language are:
I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
>"The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant,
It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
>"Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the
U.S. was too strong."
>"I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would
have looked like if Moses had to run them through the U.S. Congress."
>"The Taxpayer: That's someone who works for the Federal Government
but doesn't have to take the Civil Service Examination."
>"Government is like a baby: a Alimentory canal with a big appetite at one
end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
>"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned
that it bears a stricking resemblance to the first."
>"Governments view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves. tax it; If it keeps moving, regulate it; and if it stops moving, subsidize it."
>"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards.
If you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book."
>"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the World is so formidable as the
will and moral courage of free men and women."
This is my favorite:
>"If we ever forget that we're one Nation Under God then will be
a Nation gone under."
Please Pray Seriously for America, We are in Big Trouble and moreso
if Obama gets elected. When you go to the polls to vote, I hope your
head is on straight and your heart is in tune with God. This is not funny,
I am dead serious.

"BIG FOOT" UPDATE & LEVEL GROUND
"GREETINGS" from the { Little Bunk House On The Prairie }..........................
First of all, Maynard wants to send his greetings to all, Stinky & Gasser are still having a "Blast"! And Ole Zip, he's still out runnin' cars and chasin' snakes. Otherwise all is pretty normal {as narmal gets} around here.
Now here's some updated scoop on that Big Foot Thang. It turns 10 years old Sunday. Yup! Ya read it right! That thang gets younger instead of older on each birthday. That sure blows that stupid eveloution junk to bits. Thing is, it's either going to self distruct or become extinct. Probibly some goony in D.C. will put it on the Endangered List. Just a little pun.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TRAVIS STACEY ( B. F. ) WIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
*The ground is level at the foot of the cross.
No one is Better, No one is Worse.
We are all equal at the feet of Jesus.
*When Satan knocks on your door.............
ask God...."Could you get that please?".
