Well that would be something else entirely.

I never said that I would give you silver or gold
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold
But I did say you’d never walk thru this world alone
And I did say don’t make this world your home

I never said that fear wouldn’t find you in the night
Or that loneliness was something you’d never have to fight
But I did say I’d be right there by your side
And I did say I’ll always help you fight

‘Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep
My grace will be sufficient in your time of need
My love will be the anchor that you can hold on to
This is the promise, this is the promise I’ve made to you

I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you
Or that the world around you wouldn’t see you as a fool
But I did say like me you’ll surely be despised
And I did say My ways confound the wise

I didn’t say you’d never taste the bitter kiss of death
Or have to walk thru chilly Jordan to enter into rest
But I did say I’d be waiting right on the other side
And I did say I’ll dry every tear you’ve cried

‘Cause you know I made a promise that I’ve prepared a place
And someday sooner than you think you’ll see me face to face
And you’ll sing with the angels and a countless multitude
This is the promise, this is the promise I’ve made to you

So just keep on walking don’t turn to the left or right
And in the midst of darkness let this be your light
That hell can’t separate us and you’re gonna make it thru
This is the promise, this is the promise I’ve made to you
Oh, this is the promise, this is the promise I’ve made to you

“I may be kidding myself, but I think I can make something out of that sad little bucket of bolts.”

Jim Douglas, The Love Bug (1968)

“This Court is not aware of, nor has Plaintiff alleged the existence of, any actual fruit referred to as a “crunchberry.” … A reasonable consumer would not be deceived into believing that the Product in the instant case contained a fruit that does not exist. . . . So far as this Court has been made aware, there is no such fruit growing in the wild or occurring naturally in any part of the world.”

“Plaintiff did not explain why she could not reasonably have figured this out at any point during the four years she alleged she bought Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries in reliance on defendant’s fraud.”

I too would like to win the lottery but, not at the expense of the Cap’n. PAK

Former ‘Top Gun’ leads Hubble repair mission

Altman is not one to brag about his flying in “Top Gun.” The U.S. space agency, NASA, doesn’t mention his film heroics, either. But Altman is in one of the movie’s most memorable scenes. While flying upside down, inverted, Altman gives an obscene gesture to the pilot of an enemy plane.

“They said go ahead and gesture at the other airplane,” said Altman, 49, with a smile. “So when you’re looking at the scene where he’s communicating with the Russian, or the bad-guy pilots in the movie, that would be my finger.” (Story Link: CNN)

Q? How do you top flipping of a Soviet in an F14 while doubling Tom Cruise?

Two words: Shuttle Commander!

Communicating indeed. PAK

President Barack Obama ended up in the middle of an unlikely controversy this morning — the debate over Miss California’s position on gay marriage.

At a press conference addressing Carrie Prejean’s disputed title in the Miss USA competition, pageant owner Donald Trump compared Prejean’s stated views on gay marriage to Obama’s. (Politico: link)

There is plenty I don’t know about marriage. But I will say this; the “sanctity” of my marriage does not come from whom is allowed (or not allowed) to wed. In fact I find Ashly Madison far more offensive than any of the same sex debate. I do find it funny that we (evangelicals) spend so much energy debating same sex marriage but that according to a 1999 study (reported by the Dallas Morning News) divorce rated higher amongst Christians than non-Christians. The sanctity of my marriage comes from a vow/commitment I made before God NOT whether the US Government says it was OK. ~PAK
