Saturday Smiles!

You know, I have no idea if these are photo shopped or what.

They came via an e-mail. And I just thought they were hilarious!

So here are a few for your viewing pleasure.

You may have gotten the e-mail from someone already,

if so I apologize for the repeat!

Ever feel like this? Like the wheels are turning,

but you are not moving forward?

Now you know, you could be stuck on a rock!

Why didn't I think of that sooner?

Really? Are you kidding me?

She just looks so proud!

I wanna know how sister-girl got to the dock, without getting wet.

That's quite a stretch!

Come on! Who among us has not thought about it,

at least in our younger day!

You know, "I bet I could squeeze right in there..."

Now we know how that would have ended...

very badly apparently!

G-night, Ya'll!

Must. Have. Sleep!

She Rose Up said...: Leslie, aren't they a riot? I just don't even see HOW they did some of these things! My sons had a hoot with them this morning. (my hubby sent them to me).

Karen, You're right! That's exactly what I thought! Thank goodness we restrained ourselves!

Denise, Hi there! I just couldn't keep a straight face if I was the Traffic Investigator!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Those are awesome! You know what the funny thing is about them...I might try to do a couple of those in my truck. I have a tendency to hit every curb out there.

What Does it Mean Anyway? "Free to Fly"...

Well, it's like this: Here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Free: a : having the legal and political rights of a citizen b : enjoying civil and political liberty c : enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination d : enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another2 a : not determined by anything beyond its own nature or being : choosing or capable of choosing for itself...having a scope not restricted by qualification 7 a : not obstructed, restricted, or impeded ...Now, here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Fly:1 a : to move in or pass through the air with wings b : to move through the air or before the wind or through outer space c : to float, wave, or soar in the air ... a : to take flight ...6 : to work successfully ...Examples which apply from Websters: fly high : to be elated - fly in the face of or fly in the teeth of : to stand or act forthrightly or brazenly in defiance or contradiction of

What does this mean in my life? This means that in life we are meant to be free. While historically mankind has not always enjoyed the opportunity to fully appreciate what that means, we are so indescribably fortunate as to live in a time of the greatest spiritual, physical, financial and political freedom ever known. Freedom doesn't come cheap, nor does it come easy. But the best things in life don't come that way do they? As I write this I am struck by how this sounds like a political statement, and for me this is much more of a spiritual thing, but, same goes for that (political that is). Freedom doesn't come easy. And it's worth whatever fight you have to make to overcome in your life in order to live a life that succeeds. Now the questions is - what is success for you? What is your standard? In my mind what is needed is a definite target - because you can't hit and maintain a moving target. A stable, rock-solid, anchor with no variable, yet multi-faceted. Something pure, just and worthy. If you look at any web page of news you can see that our society is certainly lacking in this area. What a great time to live as a rebel! Nowadays to be a rebel, all you have to do is be willing to engage in the battle of life, while anchored to Christ!
