We have been having extremely rainy weather and thunder here in our part of God's country the last couple days,hope the sun comes out for your visit!

He canceled to attend the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Richard Heard is coming to bring some fresh fear with a new discovery about the ashes of a red heifer.

It's been raining here a lot too. Rained most of the day yesterday all through the night and this morning. Then cleared off later this afternoon. It's been really cool here too. Only 7 degrees this morning.

We're used to rain. LOL! :lol We have week after week of it here all winter and spring long.

I hope so. We're already booked for both Sundays that we're home so looks like we won't get to visit the local churches in F'ton. Perhaps we'll see you at SS. I hope so!

I'm so looking forward to seeing everybody!

New Canadian Flavored Smileys For Use!
 

:Nhl_crash

:Nhl_check

I'm sure the boys will enjoy those. :rolleyes:



:)

Excellent!

If you note the colours in this one, you will see the blue Toronto Maple Leaf player checking the red Montreal Canadians player over and over again. Just like in real life.

For this, I vote to make BOOM an honorary Canadian.

(If he achieves this honour, he will need to correct the spelling of flavour in the sub forum title to retain his status)

BTW, this new sub forum set up is really great, eh?

It is wonderful...

We Canadians deserve our own spot!

Ahem...What about those that have married into it??

Wellllllllllllll, I guess we could let you in???

Maybe we should take a vote??

Man am I ever in trouble!!

Oh well, you will be absent from Summer Summit anyway! :killinme

The "Verse of the Day" from the forum banner has a "word" for all pastors planning vacations.

***Those preachers who are already clean dried up need not heed this warning. (If Wally is lurking somewhere out there. I've listened to your sermons, and you need fear nothing from a long vacation.)

You already got more than you deserved when you got a Canadian girl.

However, stay home for summer summit, sing "Looo. . . .ooove your Neighbour as Yourself" in a true Freddy C. style (Fiddles and Mandolins), and I'll vote for you to get what you deserve.

:Nhl_check <------- My new favourite smilie. (I can't get enough of seeing the habs player annihilated.)

hardy har har!! Maybe I can get them to webcast it and I'll watch it from Times Square!!

Seriously, we need to webcast more conferences in Canada due to the large territory for ministers/regular folks to travel. It wouldn't take much effort nor monies IMO.

heehee

I used to hear this expression of marriage into an area.

If you have a broke down stove on your porch. If a cat has her kittens inside that broke down stove, do you call them muffins?

See the Title of post #365, and I will correct the subforum title. I am glad you like it.

A: Canada ain't broke down
B: I ain't no cat
C: My wife calls me muffin!!! (j/k)

Touche`

Now if we can only get Wally back here.

Boy, this post sure brings back a lot of memories.

First, of the many tearful prayers that Wally's mom prayed at an old fashioned altar: "Please Lord, just take him back, and I'll never complain about anything ever again."

The second, about three weeks after Wally married a fine unsuspecting Christian girl, who, coming from far back in the woods didn't have much exposure to potential husbands, is the haunting memory of her plaintive wails as she begged Wally's mother: "Please take him back! I'll do anything you ask, but please take him back!"

That being said, I am all for anything we can do to get back at Wally.

This recent controversy in the Anglican Church came to both a positive and a negative conclusion: The positive was that they voted not to bless same-sex unions; The negative was their refusal to condemn same-sex marriage, and the broad support for blessing same-sex unions.

I found this statement to be particularly disturbing: "Earlier, delegates had decided that blessing same-sex unions would not conflict with the Church's core doctrine. But the final motion -- that clergy should be allowed to perform such blessings -- was defeated."

Question: You know what the worst thing about Hamilton getting a professional hockey team would be?

Answer: Toronto would want to have one too!

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

What's new in Canada? Felicity just had supper with some wonderful friends sitting on the backyard deck of a home on a hill overlooking Belleisle Bay with the moon shining bright in the sky and reflecting off the water in the Bay, Junebugs beating at the patio door :uhoh and the pastor beating a gigantic moth to death. :lol

TB's in Maine somewhere. :D

Heh heh heh

We have our own All StarTeam of Hockey Smileys!
:Nhl_crash

:nhl2 :nhl :nhl3

The only thing better than a moonlit Belleisle Bay is the quality of the people who live on its shores, whether you're on a hill overlooking it, or in the village close beside it.

I've tried my best to ignore this post, but must admit, it is pretty funny.

How's she goin' T-Dog?


Q: What do the Flames and the Titanic have in common?
A: They both look terrific until they hit the ice.

Must have been a "wicked" experience:lol

Stories like this are part of the reason why I think that Western Alienation is not necessarily a bad thing.


Two boys were playing hockey at an outdoor arena when one is attacked by a Pitbull. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips a board off the nearby fence, wedges it down the dog's collar and twists, breaking the dog's neck. A reporter who was walking by saw the incident, and rushed over to interview the boy!

"Calgary Flames fan saves friend from vicious animal," he starts writing in his notebook.

"But I'm not a Flames fan," the boy replied.

"Edmonton Oilers fan rescues friend from horrific attack," the reporter starts again.

"I'm not a Oilers fan either," the boy said.

"Then what are you?" the reporter asked.

"I'm a Maple Leafs fan."

The reporter turns to a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Redneck idiot kills family pet."

To much heat!!

Give me some cool air!!

An Ottawa Senators hockey fan was driving home from work and he passed by a local priest. He stops and offers him a lift. The priest thanks him kindly and together they proceed to the church to drop the priest off.

On the way they pass a man walking his dog on the other side of the road; on closer inspection the man was seen to be wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. Now the driver hated the Maple Leafs and suddenly felt an uncontrollable urge to run his car into him. He put his foot down on the accelerator and tried to hit him. At the last minute the Maple Leafs fan jumped out of the way. The driver of the car heard a bang but he was sure he'd missed him.

The two men proceeded to the church in silence and the Ottawa Senators fan pulled up and said, "Look Father, I'm really sorry about that incident back there. I don't know what came over me, can you forgive me father?"

The Priest replied "Of course I can forgive you my son; I got him with the car door."

Four hockey fans were climbing a mountain one day. Each was a fan of a different team, and each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans of their hockey team. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all.

They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Canadiens fan hurled himself off the mountain, shouting, "This is for the Great Montreal Canadiens!" as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be out done, the Edmonton Oilers fan threw himself off the mountain shouting "This is for the Oilers!"

Seeing this, the Ottawa Senators fan walked over and shouted, "This is for everyone!" and pushed the Toronto Maple Leafs fan off the side of the mountain.

A young boy was in court as part of a custody hearing. His mother had just divorced his abusive father. The judge asked the little boy if he wants to stay with his mother.

The little guys sobs and says - "no, no she beats me too"!

The judge is quite surprised and asks the little guys if he'd like to live with auntie Barbara who's in the courtroom.

He starts sobbing again and says - no, no, no, she hit me with a belt once"!

The judge - at this point a little exasperated says " well Johnny who would you like to go and live with?"

Little Johnny quickly replies - "I want to go and live with the Edmonton Oilers".

Surprised the judge asks "Why?"

Johnny replies, still half sobbing, "because the Oilers can't beat anyone!"

What do the Blue Jays, Raptors, Argonauts, and Maple Leafs all have in common?


















None of them can play hockey. :nhl :highfive :nhl2

A Canadian hockey fan, an American fan and a Swedish fan were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled case of alcohol. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the alcohol, they were sentenced to death!

However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said:

"It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping."

The Swede fan was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back."

This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Swede fan had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done.

The American fan was next up (he almost finished a half-can), and after watching the scene, said: "All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again, sending the American fan crying.

The Canadian fan was the last one up (he had finished off the case), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said: "You support the greatest team in the world, your country has the best and most loyal hockey fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!"

"Thanks, your Royal highness", the Canadian replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes."

"Not only are you an honorable man, you are also very brave," the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?" the Sheik asks.

"Tie the American fan to my back so he can get whooped again." :nhl :Nhl_crash :Nhl_check

Ooooh, are you gonna be in trouble....:heeheehee
