This is so cool! I found the Keep Calm poster maker website at today's Thistle Cove Farm blog post.
These are the ones I've made so far.
Which ones have you made?

Revolutions We've Missed
I really hate it when I'm right.
"He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." KJV [Revelations 22:20]

Have You Heard? ~ Two Minutes With The Bible
Have you heard?
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Berean Bible Society
Next to the death and resurrection of Christ, the conversion of Paul and his commission to proclaim “the gospel of the grace of God” was the greatest event in history . The apostles at Jerusalem had recognized the importance of Paul’s part in the divine program. They themselves had at first been sent by Christ into “all the world,” yet in Gal. 2:9 we find James, Peter and John publicly shaking hands with Paul in a solemn agreement that he should henceforth be the apostle to the nations.
Could it be that some twelve years later, when he wrote the Ephesian letter, there were any who professed the name of Christ who had not heard of Paul’s special place in the program of God as the apostle of grace? Little wonder his words “if ye have heard” carry with them a touch of reproach.
It is possible, of course, that there were some among them, but recently brought into the Church, who had not heard, but what seems utterly incredible is that there should be even one believer at this late date who has not heard that after Christ and His kingdom had been rejected and the world was ripe for prophesied judgment to fall, God intervened, saving Saul, His chief enemy on earth, and sending him forth with “the good news of the grace of God.”
This good news is based, of course, upon the fact that since Christ was the spotless Lamb of God, His death is accepted by God as full satisfaction for the sinner. Thus Paul, by divine inspiration, declares that believers are “justified freely by His [God's] grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:24).

To the Reader:
Some of our Two Minutes articles were written many years ago by Pastor C. R. Stam for publication in newspapers. When many of these articles were later compiled in book form, Pastor Stam wrote this word of explanation in the Preface:
"It should be borne in mind that the newspaper column, Two Minutes With the Bible, has now been published for many years, so that local, national and international events are discussed as if they occurred only recently. Rather than rewrite or date such articles, we have left them just as they were when first published. This, we felt, would add to the interest, especially since our readers understand that they first appeared as newspaper articles."

“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward” (Eph. 3:2).Could it be that those to whom Paul addressed his Ephesian letter had not yet heard that God had committed to him “the dispensation of grace”?

Facebook Billionaire Pays No Taxes And Gets Refund
Have you seen a lot of sites/pages shrieking over the past couple of days about Facebook not having to pay taxes and in fact getting a tax REFUND even though they profited over a billion dollars? Why be mad at Facebook? They are taking advantage, as they have every right to, of ridiculous tax incentives that our Representatives and Senators enacted. Blame the tax system. Blame the tax code. Shriek at Congress and the Senate. Demand tax reform. And then ask yourself, "Why isn't Obama calling out Facebook like he does the oil companies, who he's railed against for doing the same thing?"The refund is $429 million dollars. And I have to agree with what COTR said. But why, oh why, won't our so-called 'President' or Senate say something about the corrupt tax system involving one of their rich boy friends.
Hmmm.
I think I just answered my own question.
Our country needs tax reform badly. It's so unfair how taxes are handled now. Flat tax is the only logical answer.

OMG! Obama Drinks Water!
Just think, according to the left mouthpiece Lame Stream Media if this picture had been in circulation before the election he never would have been re-elected. This would have ruined his political career.
Disgrace I tell you, disgrace!
Let's Talk About The Evil Rich
What can you buy for $1.4 billion a year?
Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.
In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.
Author Robert Keith Gray writes in Presidential Perks Gone Royal that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.
Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the total cost of the presidency, factoring the cost of the biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever, a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.
Perspective: $1.4 billion is equal to spending seven times Mitt Romney's entire net-worth every year. If Romney had to pay for Barack and Michelle's lifestyle this year, he would have been bankrupt by the third week in February.
Now, can we please get back to talking about the evil, freeloading rich, who didn’t build anything?

Blog Break
I know I currently have over 80 followers but, after some investigation, it seems that only have about one or two actual active readers. Looks like a lot of people have "retired" from blogging. If anyone is listening, I am taking a short break from the blog unless something really interesting happens.
Later alligator ... maybe ...
