  1. DID you see black gloves? All this hogwash is because the Republican elite (such as Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell) is setting up Donald Trump to look like a racist, they know and we the people know he is not. Basically Paul and Mitch are calling half the Republican party racist. But to show Trumps love for the KKK or lack there of is this.
  2. Vendtre you asked and it is given. http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/desperate-hoax-kkk-trump-supporters-were-black/
  3. If a person never hit a wall, he or she must give themselves some time because they haven't lived long enough yet. On another note there is this old saying "God will only allow us burdens (walls) that we can handle", well that saying isn't really altogether true. Sometime for stubborn people (like me) God will allow us more than we can handle so that we will fall on our knees, acknowledge God, admit we are mere humans that can't face our burden alone and ask God for help. I guess we can call it breaking us down so we can be built back up the way God intended us to be.
  4. Happy New Years C_Beth and to all my brothers an Sisters at Worthy.
  5. I had my stress test yesterday, I remembered what the doctor told me during the last appointment of either having more stents put in or a by-pass operation, depending on the out come of the stress test. I remembered seeing the Nov. x-rays of my heart, and a vein that looked like a dried up fish worm on the road. Just a few minutes ago I got a call from the doctors office, I was told my heart looked good and I wouldn't need anymore appointments. I was stunned, I wasn't expecting any good news like that, with tears in my eyes I went down on my knees and said "God you are an awesome God, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Amen". There is nothing like the power of prayer and I want to thank everyone who prayed for me.
  6. Not really sure but I think it might be physical.
  7. I can't rewrite the Bible, I'm not qualified. (but then who is)
  8. I recently said in a post that I had two stents put in my heart the day before Thanksgiving, well I'm not out of the woods yet. I had a followup doctors appointment this pass week and she told me I still have a blockage of 90% and I need two more stents or bypass surgery. I'm scheduled for a stress test on December 30th and after that test we will decide. I put my hope, faith and trust in God's hands, I also put my trust in this doctor and what she says I will do. I'm now traveling where I have never gone before (possible bypass) and it scares the heck out of me, any prayers are deeply appreciated.
  9. True reloading takes a great deal of caution, when I reload for a new round I try my best to start the load process 10% below the maximum load called for in the manuals and I only change one component at a time. Keep an eye on the empty shell cases, they will show you when there is excessive pressure.
  10. I would be concern of a law that says I couldn't use reloaded ammunition, it sounds like government control of ammo. under the disguise of safety. The government can control the amount of factory ammunition being sold just by buying it, but they have no idea how much reloaded ammunition is out there and how much of the components used for reloading are out there. I buy powder, primers, bullets and brass when ever I get a chance and stock up. (keep it dry) Besides the holster on my belt I carry a two mag. holder on my belt. Now I know that is a total of thirty rounds, probably twenty rounds more then I should really need to get out of a hairy situation. I don't always carry three mags, when at work I also carry a Leatherman utility knife, not to be over burden with all these holders on my belt I replace one of the mags with the Leatherman. If you want to carry an extra mag, a Leatherman knife case makes for a nice mag holder for your belt and you don't need to buy a leatherman to get one, you can buy them separate. The holster I use for my Smith & Wesson has an extra mag holder built right in it. The key to carrying an extra mag(s) is to keep them in the same place on you all the time and to have the front of the mag where it will be touching your index finger as you pull it out of the holder. Reason for having the front of your mag at the index finger is less fumbling in a tight situation should you need to reload. Your shooting hand drops your empty mag and your hand with the mag facing the index finger is naturally already facing the right direction to go into the gun.
  11. I agree with Patriot, save those that choose to be saved and for the ones that wish to do us harm don't waste lard on them. All we have to do is let the jihadist know there are women pulling the trigger on them and that will take at least half the fight out of them.
  12. I have a .357 Ruger I had since 1976, nice gun, good shooter but too big for conceal carry. I also have a 9mm Smith & Wesson, nice gun, shoots good but also too big for conceal carry pending on the cloths I'm wearing. For my 24/7 conceal carry I use a cheap (less then $300.00) Kel-Tec P-11, 9mm with three 10 round mags. and shoots great, only had it jam once because of cheap ammo. Now I buy top quality ammo. or reload my own, for what factory ammo cost it is better for me to buy 9mm rounds then to take the time to reload it, but it is nice to be able to reload if I need to. I can see in the future (God willing) that I might buy a 40 cal. semi-auto. I don't have any modern tactical weapons but I do own a WWII original M1 Carbine and it is a sweet shooter, with open sights hitting a softball at 100 yards is no problem. The M1 Carbine will shoot any brand of ammo the same, even the reloads I load for it. I bought the Carbine off my son's Father-in-Law for $500.00. I did some research on the Carbine and by the proof markings I could see it actually was used during WWII. We were at the range one day and I asked My son's Father-in-Law if he wanted to shoot a couple rounds out of the Carbine, he shot a mag. out of it and wanted to buy it back. (LOL aaaaa NO)
  13. The key word in shiloh's post is "neutralize", that doesn't necessarily mean to kill the perpetrator. To neutralize a perpetrator means to render him/her to the point where they are no longer a threat to anyone. I pray that none of us ever find ourselves in a situation where we have to defend ourselves or anyone, yet if you do find yourself as such please don't think you will only shoot them in the leg/arm to neutralize them. To shoot to wound will only decrease your odds of hitting your target because your adrenaline will be pumping like crazy and a steady aim is next to impossible. If you feel endangered shoot for center mast, if the perpetrator lives or dies is God's call.
  14. Thank you everybody for praying for me, I know praying to God is the best from communication to him and individually we should pray daily. It is also uplifting to have friends pray for you when the road is rough, and even when the road is smooth.
  15. Haven't visited Worthy for better than a month, thought I'd let you all know they didn't pat my belly with a shovel yet. However while I haven't been on Worthy I had did have a health issue, I had two stents put in my heart the day before Thanksgiving. Praise the Lord I FINALLY (yes I'm stubborn) adhered to the warning signs of a heart attack and my heart is still healthy, not damaged. The heart doctor is a strict vegetarian and told me to go on a vegetarian diet (No meat at all period), I'm sure she seen the deer in the headlight look on my face. Thankfully other doctors said I didn't need to go on a vegetarian diet, but watch what I eat and eat meat in moderation. If anybody wants to pray for my health and give me the strength to listen to doctors orders (I have been known for allegedly pushing the limits) I appreciate it. Allegedly pushing the limits you might ask? Yes I do stubbornly push the limits, example is four days after the operation was the first day of deer season. Doctor didn't say I could or I couldn't go hunting, but I didn't ask either. I decided to climb a mountain to my deer stand, afterwards my body was telling me that wasn't a good idea and I haven't seen my deer stand since. We have a good, loving, understanding God, last Saturday I went out behind my house which is nearly flat land compared to the mountain, shot a deer and put it in the freezer. Venison is healthy for me and I got a tag for one more yet.
  16. This is sorta like one of my old sayings "Getting saved is easy, so easy that it can be hard", and that is when people give you the deer in the headlight look.
  17. AN interesting post I came across. Jews, like all of humanity, are commanded to repent and trust the Savior (Acts 2:38), and warned that if they don’t repent, they will perish (Luke 13:3). Jesus, who was Jewish (see John 4:9), is the promised Jewish Messiah (see John 4:25,26). The disciples were Jewish. Christianity was birthed in the land of the Jews. The first three thousand converts to Christianity were Jews (see Acts 2:41), as well as the next two thousand (see Acts 4:4). The apostle Paul was Jewish (see Acts 23:6), commissioned to testify to Jews about their need for “repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” (see Acts 20:21). The God of Israel (the Jews) made sure the gospel was offered to the Jews first, before the Gentiles (see Rom. 1:16). It seems God has bent over backwards to give all Jews the opportunity the accept Jesus, if some are still blind to the fact that Jesus is the only savior of all mankind I can't see how they can possibly get through the gates of Heaven.
  18. Sorry I can't go along with the Pope, Jesus said the ONLY way to the Father is through him and that seems pretty clear to me.
  19. As of now the greatest danger to our country is radical islamic extremest, we don't really know how many are inside our borders or where they are going to strike next. If God forbid any of us would be at one of their targets, I somehow don't think a radical islamic extremest would understand our using spiritual warfare on the them. I carry or have a gun within reach 24/7 ever since I spent a year in a place where I was a target, and also because of my job where I'm constantly in the public eye, if a crazy has a problem with government I would look like an easy target to them. I pray I don't ever need a gun for other than hunting and sport shooting, yet if I do need a gun for protection it is there.
  20. Oh darn, I guess I'm on Obuma's blacklist, maybe that is a badge of honor.
  21. That is a very good idea Other One, besides two years in the Military won't hurt no one (other than going to war). Two years in the Military would teach our young adult honor, integrity, responsibility, and accountability, something our youth lack today. Old Zimm
  22. God created time, so in order to create time God has to be outside of time. Ecclesiastes 3:1515 That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away. Isaiah 55:99 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 46:9-119 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ 11 calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it. Psalm 139:44 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. I found this analogy about the past, present, future, and God being outside of time. (A good way to explain it.) Time is a hard thing to think about. I have only one analogy that seems to help me. I have thought of it like a rat in a maze. The rat (me) can only see the present...the present corner, choice, hallway, etc. But the creator of the maze takes in the whole maze at once. He knows where I have been, and the result of every path that He may allow me to take, and He sees it all "right now". For Him, the entire maze is now. For me, it is one hallway, one corner, one choice at a time. Old Zimm
  23. It doesn't sound good but I'll take your word for it. And, anyway , it doesn't contain the dreaded GELATIN....from the article: "Gelatin is a protein obtained by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, and/or bones with water. It is usually obtained from cows or pigs." Yech! I had Gelatin too, when I helped the old timers butcher pigs we made Gelatin (we called it Souse) from whatever was left over (mostly head meat) and to tell you the truth It tasted terrible, I guess it is one of those foods you must acquire a taste for.
  24. I had the Frosted seven-up fruit salad, it tasted good and it was a food of the seventies.
