The Beauty That Surrounds Us

We took a stroll down our one lane dirt country road this morning. The fall colors are finally reaching our little corner of the world.

I hope you also enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. :o)

Be Sure To Edify One Another


The morning after .... sounds like an advertisement for a pill, doesn't it? The morning of November 5th there were many Americans very happy and many extremely sad, broken hearted, frightened.

For all who feel anxiety, I do humbly pray that I may edify them.

Here's a nice quote I found from someone called "Daddy Brown" (I don't know who he is/was):

"Do not be shocked or amazed at anything that takes place in America today as the America you are talking of is no more. It is a new America whether we like it or not. But remember, the America in your mind and heart died a while back. (A little at a time she died and many were not watching). As we took the prayer from our schools, allowed abortion clinics on every corner, people come over our borders with no background checks - Criminals, drug runners, and we allowed drugs and gangs to take our streets, she gave and gave till there was no more to give and America died... Love the old America, the place you were born, the country that once gave Hope, the land that you were so proud of and just learn how to live in this new America and pray for the souls of mankind as the Rapture will soon arrive.

If people are not ready, they will go to hell and there is nothing you and I can do to stop it except make sure those around us know the TRUTH so we can join one another in Heaven.

This America belongs to Satan for now. Just know there is a better tomorrow-No matter what happens in America."

That's a good point. We mustn't worry. Doing so won't add a day or a moment to our lives. God cares even for the little sparrows and knows all the hairs on our heads. He knows the ultimate outcome and will hold His believers in His loving hands. That's amazing to me how much He loves us ... even when we humans deliberately perform destructive acts and sacrifice the next generation to the false god of convenience. ♥ ∞

A Little Election Day Humor

Today is the *big day* here in America, when our voices and opinions can count more than ever. Well, what's done is done.
Let's just reflect on our actions.
There's no turning back now.
The die is cast.
So, here's a little humor along the way.
Hopefully the ride in that handbasket will seem a little merrier....






"Take it from me -- elections matter." Al Gore [Really?? Well, duuuh!]

"I'm older than dirt, I've got more scars than Frankenstein, but I've learned a few things along the way. " Sen. John McCain

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies." Groucho Marx [I'm with you Groucho.]

"To lodge all power in one party and keep it there is to insure bad government." Mark Twain

Unveiling Of The 2010 Kawasaki Versys 1000cc


TWO magazine has uncovered a pic of the new 1000cc Versys.

TWO say: "Looks like an all-new 1000cc parallel twin engine in Kawasaki's answer to Triumph's 1050 Tiger. The brakes look a bit lacking but it should be a fantastic tourer, but will pillions like the Z750-style seat unit."

Looks like Kawasaki has plans to release a 1000 version of their Versys model (currently a 650 CC). I had looked at this motorcycle before purchasing my 2007 Suzuki V-Strom 650 but didn't like the appearance. The Suzuki is a 90 degree V-Twin. It's very well balanced. True, the Versys 650cc is a great bike, I just didn't fancy the front end and it can not be fitted for a center stand (a deal breaker for me!). This 1000 version, in my opinion, has a MUCH cleaner look. At the current time, I think this bike will only be available in Europe. Pity. I'll bet it would be a huge hit here in America!

Adventure bikes are so much more practical than cruisers: they're light-weight, easy to handle, love curves, and just a sweet ride all around. My bike is damn near bullet proof (which says a lot): all I do is add gas, change the oil periodically, and I'm good to go. I would be hard pressed to part with mine, for sure.

Here's hoping that Kawasaki will add this motorcycle to the now too short list of their bikes sold here in the USA. ♥ ∞
