Evergators - Bless his heart. Vice President Joe Biden has made
a living out of misstatements. If you did not hear him recently when he was making a speech down in South Florida, it is worth
trying to look it up and listen to it. In the speech he was saying something about years ago they blocked off some of the flow of
the water to the Everglades and in essence it made a dam for the evergators. Obviously, anybody who takes a moment
to think about it realizes that he was thinking about the alligators that were in the Everglades. (more)

If a legacy is something we pass from one generation to the next, what better way can we participate than to leave behind
our reputation, our Christian witness, and sweet memories? A lot of my ancestors are buried in an immaculate little church

looked forward to visiting there whenever they could. A few years ago, Charles and I found out the reason the cemetery was so
special. Most tombstones are tall, ornately carved with each person’s name and scripture or praise. (more)

Suppose that you decide to attend a new church in town. You arrive to a building topped with a giant guillotine. You enter
a foyer decorated with statues of electric chairs. The altar has a hangman’s noose prominently displayed. As you meet other
participants, most are wearing some semblance of torture or execution device as a t-shirt or jewelry. This would probably be a
good time to run but you have friends and co-workers there so you ride it out to avoid embarrassment. The service begins. (more)
