Philosophy 101 :-)

Philosophy 101:

 

As we grow older and wiser we realize a $300 or $30 watch - - - they both tell the same time. 

 

Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - - - the amount of money inside is the same. 

 

Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $30 or $3 wine - - - the hangover is the same. 

 

Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3,000 or 30,000 sq. ft. - - - the loneliness is the same. 

 

And we realize our true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. 

 

Whether we fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - - - we go down with it. 

 

Whether we fly first or economy class, if the plane reaches its destination - - everyone arrives at the same time. 

 

Therefore . . . we should realize that when we have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, with whom we can chat, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth -- that is true happiness! 

 

Six Undeniable Facts of Life: 

 

1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price. 

 

2. Best wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food." 

 

3. The one who loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason to hold on. 

 

4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few folks really understand that. 

 

5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage! 

 

6. If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but, if you want to walk far, walk together! 

 

Six Best Doctors in the World:

 

1. Sunlight 

2. Rest 

3. Exercise 

4. Diet 

5. Self Confidence 

6. Friends 

 

And, finally:

 

The nicest place to be is in someone's thoughts,  the safest place to be is in someone's prayers.

 

May God give you all a good night & day!

Woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost... :-)

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,

 

"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

 

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

 

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican.

 

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

 

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." 

 

The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama-Democrat."

 

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

 

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are -- or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

The Lone Ranger rides again

 

 

This is world-class guitar playing  and Campbell makes it look easy. The sounds of  Glen Campbell on guitar and the symphony orchestra playing Rossini's  "William Tell Overture" will take you back to those golden days of  yesteryear, when the strains of the Rossini's masterpiece coming over  the radio meant the  Lone Ranger show was about to begin.

UK: Incredible 700-year-old Knights Templar cave complex

Rabbit hole leads to incredible 700-year-old Knights Templar cave complex

© Provided by Fox News

Said to be 700 years old, the caves have been long been linked to the Knights Templar – a Catholic military order that played a key role during the Crusades. Named after Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, where the order was based, the order was founded in 1119 protect pilgrims visiting the Holy Land.

With the loss of the Holy Land, the Templars’ military influence waned, although they still held great economic sway in medieval Europe. In 1307 the French King Philip IV, who wanted to wipe out his debts to the order, launched a plot to bring the Knights Templar down. Many Templars were arrested on charges including heresy and dozens were later burned at the stake.

TREASURE HUNTERS STRIKE GOLD WITH ANCIENT JEWELRY FIND

Pope Clement V disbanded the order in 1312.

The caves had been closed for a number of years before Scott’s visit. Black magic ceremonies reportedly forced the owners to seal up the entrance to the caves in 2012.

While some people believe the caves are 700 years old, others think that the complex was carved out by followers of the Templars in the 17th century.

1836: Remember The Alamo!

DateLine: 1836 Alamo Mission @ San Antonio, Texas

 

 REMEMBER THE ALAMO!.  Alamo Christian Mission in San Antonio

Battle of the Alamo

Part of the Texas Revolution

 

The crumbling facade of a stone building is missing its roof and part of its second floor. A pile of stone rubble sits in the courtyard. In front of the building are a horse-drawn carriage and several people in 1850s-style clothing: women in long dresses with full skirts and men in fancy suits with top hats.

The Battle and Slaughter at the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched a numerical overwhelming assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing all of the brave Texiandefenders. Santa Anna's legendary cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.

About 100 couragous Texians were then garrisoned at the Alamo. The Texian force grew slightly with the arrival of reinforcements led by eventual Alamo co-commanders James Bowie and William B. Travis. On February 23, approximately 1,500 Mexicans marched into San Antonio de Béxar as the first step in a campaign to retake Texas. For the next 10 days, the two armies engaged in several skirmishes with minimal casualties. Aware that his garrison could not withstand an attack by such a large force, Travis wrote multiple letters pleading for more men and supplies, but the Texians were barely reinforced by fewer than 100 men.

In the early morning hours of March 6, the massive Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. After repelling two attacks, the outnumbered and outgunned Texians were unable to fend off a third attack. As Mexican soldiers scaled the walls, most of the Texian soldiers withdrew into interior buildings. Defenders unable to reach these points were slaughtered by the Mexican cavalry as they attempted to make desperate escape. Between five and seven Texians may have surrendered; no quarter was given and they were quickly executed. Most eyewitness accounts reported between 182 and 257 Texians died, while most historians of the Alamo agree that around 600 Mexicans were killed or wounded. Several noncombatants were sent to Gonzales to spread word of the Texian defeat. The news sparked both a strong rush to join the Texian army and a panic, known as "The Runaway Scrape", in which the Texian army, most settlers, and the new Republic of Texasgovernment fled from the advancing Mexican Army....

God instructed: build a WALL around Jerusalem to protect citizens !

God instructed Nehemiah to build a wall around Jerusalem to protect its citizens from enemy attack. You see, God is NOT against building walls!

 

When GOD said - "Build a Wall" Here's the sermon given to Trump

 

Something happened on Inauguration Day that was not covered on TV.  Robert Jeffress, the Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church in downtown Dallas, gave a private sermon for the President Elect (at the time) and VP Elect Pence and their families in St. John's Church first thing in the morning to set the tone for the day.  It was quite short, and you may not be interested, but in case you are, here are the verbatim words that were given to Trump and his group.  I am told that he was really moved by it, and especially liked the part about the wall.

 

For Coin & those inclined to have interest in the WALL - see biblical comments
