HOW TO TREAT OLD PEOPLE
My wife and I attended a “Teacher Appreciation Dinner” last evening. And because we had received an invitation from our church front office, I just assumed it was because we are contributing workers in some related programs. I occasionally substitute teach for my S.S. teacher when he is out, and cannot find any other suitable teacher. Or maybe it was because my wife does the telephone on Friday from 9:00 AM until noon, or she occasionally does the devotion in the Dorcas circle meetings. Or it may have been because I do the devotionals at the Adventurers group luncheons, Or it might even have been because I lead a bible study which I was asked by certain class members to lead. The weather was threatening rain. We arrived early, The accommodations were elegant, dinner was excellent, The conversation was pleasant and we enjoyed the Christian fellowship. There was one revealing occurrence however that just happened to catch my eye. We were given a list of the teachers and leaders of certain classes and groups, and as I scanned over it taking into account all those named in the list, I could not help but notice that mine, nor my wife’s names were on the list. Well why on earth am I here? We are getting a free dinner, a very elegant evening out among Christian friends, those there that were on the list, and at no expense to us. Just lucky I guess. However we were then treated to a verbal class by class, group by group, run down of who’s who and what they do etc. There was no mention and no recognition of my wife’s or my efforts whatsoever. I began to feel as if I might be invisible, but quickly realized that was not so, because the very dedicated and prompt servers there had spoken to me at least once, and I had also entered into some pleasant conversation with the teachers who sat at my table. Suffice it to say, I began to wonder why we were invited. A mistake perhaps? A practical joke? Or maybe it was because we were just taken for granted. No I think not. I do think it was because we are old. Old people do not make a difference in any facet of today’s world, because they are usually in the way, or making some kind of ridiculous demand because they are old. They are often in need of some physical aid or accommodation because of their age or they need some type of attention paid to them, which interrupts the normal younger person’s otherwise busy day, (or evening). Well such was the case last evening and I am sorry that I am old. I wish that I were already dead so as not to need any of your attention. It was raining when we left that place, (the first to do so). I forgive all who forgot us and can honestly say, "It does not matter" I will love you anyway.
SPENDING MONEY AND TIME RIGHTLY
"During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced; 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy , won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany .
It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site."

WHERES THE OIL
A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage while under the Obama rulership, here in our country. Well, there's a very simple answer.
Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Our OIL is located in: Alaska, California, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama Mississippi, Texas, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.
Our dipstick is located in the White House! Oh excuse me, did I misspell Dip....

THE PERFECT SNUB
One reason why England did not join us against Syria *President Obama was a no-show at Margaret Thatcher's funeral despite being invited to attend and thus snubbing England's invitation as a
representative of the American people. What a shameful display. Joe Biden also refused, as did Hillary Clinton. By the way, former Secretary of State George Schultz (R) went to the funeral. The British took note of the fact that the Obama administration chose not to send a single senior member of the Cabinet. In fact, no actively serving, elected Democrat attended Lady Thatcher’s funeral.The Obama Administration did, however, send a formal delegation of 14 to the funeral of Socialist Dictator Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez. I just love the way Obama telegraphs his sympathy, especially to our supportive friends. He has no heart for compassion, unless it is an enemy of the U.S.

THE SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR
On the rear of the One Dollar bill, you will see two circles. Together, they comprise the Great Seal of the United States . The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.
If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.
Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the west or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the Capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin 's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.
'IN GOD WE TRUST' is on this currency.
The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, 'God has favored our undertaking.'
The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, 'a new order has begun.'
At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)
If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States .
It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery , and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments.
Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States , and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.
The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:
First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it.Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England .Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.At the top of that shield there is a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation.
In the Eagle's beak you will read, ' E PLURIBUS UNUM' meaning, 'from many - one.'
Above the Eagle, we have the thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.
Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.
An (untrue) old-fashioned belief says that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will almost never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But think about this:
America , which relies on God (not a number) to direct and lead, boldly chose:
13 original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence ,
13 stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the pyramid,
13 letters in 'Annuit Coeptis',
13 letters in ' E Pluribus Unum,'
13 stars above the eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,
13 fruits, and if you look closely,
13 arrows.
And finally, notice the arrangement of the 13 stars in the right-hand circle.
You will see that they are arranged as a
Star of David.This was ordered by George Washington who, when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as a personal reward for his services to the Continental Army. Solomon said he wanted nothing for himself, but he would like something for his people.The Star of David was the result. Few people know it was Solomon who saved the Army through his financial contributions ...then died a pauper. Haym Solomon gave $25 million to save the Continental Army, money that was sorely needed to help realize America ’s –our- freedom and independence from England .
Therein lies America ’s Judeo-Christian beginning.
Most American children do NOT know any of this.
They are not taught because their history teachers do NOT know this.
[They were not taught!]
On America ’s Freedom:
Too many veterans gave up too much to let the meaning fade.
Many veterans came home to an America that did not care.
Too many veterans never came home at all.
They served, they died for you … for me.

betrayed
Folks, when are we going to wake up? This needs to go viral. These are the Senators who voted to let the UN take “OUR” guns! (Too many civilians armed with hunting rifles and other weapons was the reason Japan didn’t attack mainland America, as they did in China!)
These Senators need to lose in the 2014/2016 elections. We have been betrayed.
The 46 Senators Voted to Destroy US
We came four votes away from the U.S. Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations.
In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty .
The Statement of Purpose from the Bill reads:
"To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty."
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration,
Would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms.
The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S.
The language would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.
Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power in violation of their sworn duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution. “They are criminals”!
Here are the 46 senators who voted to give your rights to the U.N.
Baldwin (D-WI) Leahy (D-VT)
Baucus (D-MT) Levin (D-MI)
Bennett (D-CO) McCaskill (D-MO)

OBAMA'S LEGACY
On NSA surveillance: "We wanted a president who listens to all Americans - now we have one."
On a new IRS commissioner: "He's called 'acting commissioner'
because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."
On closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists: "If he really wants to close it,
turn it into a government-funded solar power company. The doors will be shut in a month."
Concerning the Benghazi , Associated Press, and IRS scandals: "Remember in the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden?"
On Obama saying he didn't know about the IRS scandal: "He was too busy
not knowing anything about Benghazi to not know anything about the IRS."
"The White House has a new slogan about Benghazi : Hope and change the subject."
"It's casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they're casually going through everybody's phone calls and records."
"It is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took the fifth."
"Fox News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told you so!'"
On Obama's commencement address: "He told the young graduates
their future is bright unless, of course, they want jobs."
On a Chicago man who set a record for riding a Ferris wheel: "The only other way
to go around and around in a circle that many times is to read the official report on Benghazi ."
On White House claims of ignorance on the scandals: "They took 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' out of the Pentagon and moved it into the White House."
Now the last, and I think best!--
"These White House scandals are not going away anytime soon. It's gotten so bad
that People in Kenya are now saying he's 100 percent American."
On a new IRS commissioner: "He's called 'acting commissioner'
because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."
