Next time your morning seems to be going wrong and the children are slow getting dressed and you can't seem to find the car keys and you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; praise God instead because God is at work watching over you.

After Sept. 11th, I happened to call a man on business whom I didn't know and haven't nor will probably ever talk to
again. But on this particular day, he felt like talking. He was the head of security for a company that had invited the remaining members of another company who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their
office space.

With his voice full of awe he told me stories of why these people were alive and their counterparts were dead. In the end, all the stories were just about the little things that happen to us. You might know, the head of the company got in late that day because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. There were other stories that I hope and pray will someday be gathered and put in a book.

The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone...all the little things that annoy me...I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying things. Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like. There is NO LUCK attached. If you delete this, it's okay: God's Love Is Not Dependant On E-Mail.

Let's get real how long does a prayer take .... maybe 2 or 3 minutes. Sounds like to me someone just needs to complain and that was the best they could do.

Prayer

I am not a coon hunter, but I am a hunter. I do earthwork with my terriers. I have to tell you all I am impressed with the group here.

Thought you'd be interested in a story. I have chaired a lot of terrier shows, and had one planned for Sept 15, 2001. You all know what happened on the 11th. We went ahead with the show as planned, mostly because we didn't want Osama to dictate to us. We had people who could not attend, of course, and a few that were afraid to leave home, etc. Those of us that did make it were very glad to see the others who showed up.

We started the day with a couple of Bible verses and a prayer, which is I think probably the first time that has been done at a terrier trial. I've attended trials all over for nearly 17 years and none of them had ever done it. It meant a lot to everyone, I think. We had a lot of people thank us.

We began the trial in 2002 with a prayer, too, and will do so in the future. It starts the day out right. It brings God to the event, and it reminds people that a ribbon is just a ribbon, that what is important at a dog event are friendship and sportsmanship.

Please keep prayer before the hunt! Shoot, even at NASCAR events they always have an invocation before the race. Sure hasn't hurt anyone so far and I doubt it ever will.

I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. What do you think about this?





It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!

If you agree, pass this on, if not delete. . .
