The State takes both and gives you some milk.<br /><br />FASCISM:You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.<br /><br />etc etc<br /><br />My favourites are these;<br /><br />SURREALISM:You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.<br /><br />and<br /><br />THE POLISH GOVERNMENT:You have two cows. You lecture one on how turning gay will mean the end of cattle. The other cow emigrates.<br /><br />(Not sure if this google link will work, but you can try it: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.wayodd.com/funny-pictures2/funny-pictures-cow-jumping-aqY.jpg&imgrefurl=http://eguinan.wordpress.com/2007/06/09/you-have-two-cows/&usg=__fq7NF5byqhsg7R5xZmYSpIpRPvc=&h=441&w=311&sz=20&hl=en&start=9&um=1&tbnid=Gx84QwdA_NPZzM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=90&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcows%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2GPEA_en%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1)AtlantaMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370310098047896365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478279106730902739.post-36113253737194747122009-06-10T10:34:17.200-04:002009-06-10T10:34:17.200-04:00I want to read it.

We set the bar too low when they are capable of so much more!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510912558510782280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478279106730902739.post-33380843686795096302009-06-09T11:54:22.871-04:002009-06-09T11:54:22.871-04:00Wow, it is wonderful when real men of God (like yo...Wow, it is wonderful when real men of God (like you) turn from the stereotypical father roles, and treat kids like real Christians. We don't make mistakes because we don't love, we make them because we don't always know.<br /><br />My personal epiphany came at a David and Kathie Walters - "Kids in Combat" conference. He started out by saying, "Kids are dumb, sticky and loud." The parents laughed, and the kids, from 3 to 18, rolled their eyes. He then said, "Parents, please show me in the Bible where it says our kids have a junior Holy Spirit?" (It doesn't.) Then asked the kids to kindly point their finger at their parents, and say, "I told you so."<br /><br />Wow, my 8-year-old has never been the same. She was full of the Holy Spirit and power when she left. She has done missions and brought many to Christ. She is now 18. My other daughter was a Kings Kid for (YWAM) 5 or 6 years and dnaced fo Jesus on the streets of most major New England cities.<br /><br />Do they still do stu - err - dumb things? Yupp. But not as dumb as me not letting them grow up in Christ.<br /><br />Bravo Tony, for you persistence to be like Him. And you know, you look little like Chuck Norris too. ;o]Davidnoreply@blogger.com
