IT REALLY IS GOD'S WORLD

This Is A Wonderful True Story, So worth the read, and an example of our Christian Heritage Worth Remembering And Sharing With The World.
                                        THE MOON AND GOD!!
                                        What was the first liquid and food
consumed on the moon? I'm betting that most are unaware of this story.
                                        Forty-nine years ago (July 20,
1969), two human beings changed history by walking on the surface of the
moon.But, what happened before Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong exited the Lunar Module is perhaps even more
amazing, if only because so few people know about it. I'm talking about the
fact that Buzz Aldrin took communion on the surface of the moon. Some months
after his return, he wrote about it in Guideposts magazine.
  The background to the story is that
Aldrin was an elder at his Presbyterian Church in Texas during this period
in his life; and, knowing that he would soon be doing something
unprecedented in human history, he felt that he should mark the occasion
somehow. He asked his minister to help him and so the minister consecrated a
communion wafer and a small vial of communion wine. Buzz Aldrin took them
with him out of the Earth's orbit and onto the surface of the moon. He and
Armstrong had only been on the lunar surface for a few minutes when Aldrin
made the following public statement:
 "This is the LM (Lunar Module)
pilot. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in,
whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the
events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way." He
then ended radio communication, and there, on the silent surface of the
moon, 250,000 miles from home, he read a verse from the Gospel of John, and
he took communion.
 Here is his account of what happened:
                                        "In the radio blackout, I opened the
little plastic packages which contained the bread and the wine. I poured the
wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of
the moon, the wine slowly curled and gracefully came up the side of the cup.
Then I read the scripture: 'I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever
abides in me will bring forth much fruit ... Apart from me you can do
nothing....  "I had intended to read my communion
passage back to Earth, but at the last minute [they] had requested that I
not do this. NASA was already embroiled in a legal battle with Madelyn
Murray O'Hare, the celebrated opponent of religion, over the Apollo 8 crew's
reading from Genesis while orbiting the moon at Christmas. I agreed
reluctantly."   "I ate the tiny toast and swallowed
the wine. I gave thanks for the intelligence and spirit that had brought two
young pilots to the Sea of Tranquility. It was interesting for me to think
that the very first liquid ever poured on the moon and the very first food
eaten there were the communion elements."
  "And, of course, it's interesting to
think that some of the first words spoken on the moon were the words of
Jesus Christ, who made the Earth and the moon - and who, in the immortal
words of Dante, is Himself the "Love that moves the Sun and other stars."
The nicest place to be is in
someone's thoughts, the safest place to be is in someone's prayers, and the
very best place to be is in the hands of God. Amen.

The History of The World and Beer

For those who don't know much about history, this is the Cliff notes version.

A condensed version of the history of mankind from just after the Garden of Eden story.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1 . Liberals
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement...
Other men who were less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as Feminine-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that the conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys , journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing, and that is when the act of lying became a part of the liberal genre, which is where we are today.
Here ends today's lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this article before forwarding it.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to give them some more fodder for their penchant for lying.......
And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self.....I'm going to have another beer.
