Oklahoma did it


THE OAKIES STILL HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE!


(Recently received email)

Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election...

While everyone is focusing on Arizona 's new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!!



An update from Oklahoma:

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB  1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU. They said it would be a mistake.

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB 1102

Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.

More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns.  Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals The Liberals didn't like it  -- But....
Guess what    Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers' license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you must read and write English. Really simple!

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either

Guess what    who cares       Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it...Thanks
Guess what:  the people I'm sending this to will send it on.   Well, at least the ones who love and believe in freedom will.

April is Preventing Animal Cruelty Month



By Terry Orr

What is Animal Cruelty?

Before researching material for this article, I thought the answer would be rather straightforward with little to no gray area. Wrong.  Mspca.org provides this definition:

One definition, sometimes used by judiciary authorities, the MSPCA and other humane law enforcement officials, is found in Blacks Law Dictionary:

Cruelty to Animals. The infliction of physical pain, suffering or death upon an animal, when not necessary for purposes of training or discipline or (in the case of death) to procure food or to release the animal from incurable suffering, but done wantonly, for mere sport, for the indulgence of a cruel and vindictive temper, or with reckless indifference to its pain.


Treat the earth and all that dwell therein with respect
Take from the Earth what is needed and nothing more
Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good
All life is sacred, treat all beings with respect
Take full responsibility for your actions

Granny taught us early in life to respect all God’s creatures. It was ok to fish, hunt, and raise livestock for our food – but also not to waste. Sharing with others is always good and the right thing to do.  As children growing up, we were unaware of the Native American Ten Commandments and any direct link to their way of life – that connection came later in life. 


I believe we all have a responsibility to respect all of his creatures, to take care of them and protect them from abuse.

Holy Humor


By Diane Forrest

Ecclesiastes 3 tells us that there is a time and place for everything.  Verse 4 states:  A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.   I can't recall any jokes or funny stories from the Bible, well there was a young man who had been listening to Paul preaching for hours..he fell asleep, then fell out of a 3 story window.   I think about that when I'm in church, and I sit on the bottom floor, not the balcony.  In fact, my Preacher used this story in his sermon a few weeks ago, entitled, Wake Up!  As any good speaker will tell you, start with a joke to break the ice. Its one of the things I like about my pastor, his ability to start with a joke or funny story, that makes me pay more attention to the more important stuff he talks about.  

I don't think these kinds of jokes are considered blasphemy or being irreverent.  We were blessed with a sense of humor, and many funny people on this earth to deliver the jokes and amusing stories. March is Holy Humor and Humorists are Artist month.  Take some time this month to relax, laugh and don't be so serious.  After all, God had a sense of humor too, just look at some of His creations such as the duckbill platypus, giraffe or three toed sloth.


At Sunday School they were teaching how God
created everything, including human beings.
Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they
told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.
Later in the week his mother noticed him lying
down as though he were ill, and she said, 'Johnny, what is the matter?'
Little Johnny responded, 'I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife.'

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to 'Honor thy

father and thy mother,' she asked,

'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to

treat our brothers and sisters?'

Without missing a beat, one little boy answered,

'Thou shall not kill..'


A Sunday School teacher asked her class why

Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem..

A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a baby-sitter.'


Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers.

The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words

on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50.'

The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad

scribbles a few words on piece of paper,he calls it a song, they give him $100.'

The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad

scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to collect all the money!' 


 A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class.

As she ran she prayed, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!'

While she was running and praying, she tripped

on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress.

She got up, brushed herself off, and started running

again!

As she ran she once again began to pray,

'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please

don't shove me either!' 


Two boys were walking home from Sunday school

after hearing a strong preaching on the devil.

One said to the other, 'What do you think about

all this Satan stuff?'

The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how

Santa Claus turned out.

It's probably just your Dad..'

DID YOU KNOW?

Another email to share

As you walk up the steps to the building which

houses the U..S Supreme Court you can see near

the top of the building a row of the world's law

givers and each one is facing one in the middle

who is facing forward with a full frontal view

... It is Moses and he is holding the Ten

Commandments!

 

 
DID YOU KNOW?

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two

huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments

engraved on each lower portion of each door.



DID YOU KNOW?

As you sit inside

the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above

where the Supreme Court Judges sit, a display of

the Ten Commandments!


DID YOU KNOW?




There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the

Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington,  D.C.

 

DID YOU KNOW?



James Madison, the fourth president, known as 'The

Father of Our Constitution' made the following statement:


'We have staked the whole of all our political

Institutions upon the capacity of mankind for

Self-government, upon the capacity of each and

all of us to govern ourselves, to control

ourselves, to sustain ourselves according

to The Ten Commandments of  God.'


 
 DID YOU KNOW?

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a

paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the

taxpayer since 1777.

 

DID YOU KNOW?



Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were

members of the established Orthodox churches in the colonies..


DID YOU KNOW?



Thomas Jefferson  worried that the Courts would overstep

their authority and instead of Interpreting the

law would begin making law an oligarchy the rule

of few over many.


 
How then, have we gotten to the point that

everything we have done for 220 years in this

Country is now suddenly wrong and

Unconstitutional?

Lets put it around the world and let the world see

and remember what this great country was Built

on The Holy Bible and belief in GOD!






Happy Birthday Dad!
