			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shack<br />
Not a thing was a movin&#8217; &#8212; from the front to the back,</p>
<p>The kids were in bed, I believe we had nine.<br />
The wife in her curlers, was lookin&#8217; real fine.</p>
<p>A cold wind was blowin&#8217;, up the holler it moaned.<br />
All seven dogs on the porch howled and groaned.</p>
<p>The boys were all dreamin&#8217; of weapons and guns.<br />
For killin&#8217; God&#8217;s creatures, there&#8217;s no better fun.</p>
<p>The girls in their feminine dreams were attuned,<br />
To getting those gallons of Wal-Mart perfume.</p>
<p>The wife wanted jewelry, like rings with big rocks.<br />
I wanted my Chevy, down off the blocks.</p>
<p>Then in the yard, such a noise did commence<br />
Like something was caught, in the barb-wire fence.</p>
<p>I ran to the window, and saw pretty quick.<br />
The man makin&#8217; the racket, was Good Ol&#8217; St. Nick.</p>
<p>You may think of Santa, in your own mind&#8217;s eye,<br />
Dressed in a red and white suit, but I&#8217;ve got a surprise.</p>
<p>That old boy&#8217;s an Arkie, our fair state he won&#8217;t fail&#8217;er.<br />
He married his cousin, and they live in a trailer.</p>
<p>On Christmas, of course, a sleigh for his rig,<br />
He hooks the thing up, to a razorback pig.</p>
<p>He climbed on the roof, with his bag full of goodies.<br />
He backed down the fireplace, all dirty and sooty.</p>
<p>Fat legs in his britches, chubby hands in his mittens,<br />
I admit from the back, he looked like Bill Clinton.</p>
<p>He turned toward the tree, his eyes all aglow.<br />
He was a Southern boy, from his head to his toe.</p>
<p>His neck was a red one, His shirt said &#8220;Light Beer.&#8221;<br />
There was no red hat, his cap read,&#8221;John Deere.&#8221;</p>
<p>He left all the presents, with an air of delight.<br />
Then it was back to the chimney, and into the night.</p>
<p>He ran into the yard, and threw his bag in the sleigh.<br />
Then he yelled at the dogs, to get out of the way.</p>
<p>And I heard him exclaim, as those pigs took to flight,<br />
Merry Christmas to all, And to all &#8230;A &#8220;Bud lite!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Trip to the Dentist</p>
<p> This guy goes into his dentist&#8217;s office, because something is wrong with his  mouth. After a brief examination, the dentist exclaims, &#8220;Holy Smoke! That plate I installed in your mouth about six months ago has nearly completely corroded! What on earth have you been eating?&#8221;  </p>
<p> &#8220;Well&#8230; the only thing I can think of is this&#8230; my wife made me some asparagus about four months ago with this stuff on it&#8230; Hollandaise sauce she called it&#8230; and doctor, I&#8217;m talkin&#8217; DELICIOUS! I&#8217;ve never tasted anything like it, and ever since then I&#8217;ve been putting it on everything&#8230; meat, fish, toast, vegetables&#8230; you name it!&#8221;  </p>
<p> &#8220;That&#8217;s probably it,&#8221; replied the dentist &#8220;Hollandaise sauce is made with lemon juice, which is acidic and highly corrosive. It seems as thought I&#8217;ll have to install a new plate, but made out of chrome this time.&#8221;  </p>
<p> &#8220;Why chrome?&#8221; the man asked.  </p>
<p> &#8220;Well, everyone knows that there&#8217;s no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!&#8221;  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I enjoy reading the many different church signs around town. Sometimes those few words speak a profound truth. I ran across <a href="http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/churchsigns.php">this neat little site</a> that has a collection of real church signs that people around the country have photographed and submitted.  But, the times they are a changing and many church signs are going digital, so I guess we should preserve these images.</p>
<p>You can even create your own church sign <a href="http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/">here</a>.</p>
<p>What church sign have you seen that made you think, laugh or maybe just pause to pray?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people call it pop, some call it soda, some call it Coke no matter the flavor.  I call that syrupy sweet, calorie laden, rot your teeth, make you belch beverage that I love so much, soda &#8211; when speaking in generic terms.  However , I only drink Coke Classic.   I hate it when I order Coke and they bring me something else, and I know it.  Some establishments will say, &#8220;We have Pepsi. Is that ok?&#8221;  And I reply, &#8220;No, it&#8217;s not ok.  Just bring me sweet tea or water.&#8221;  Here is a <a href="http://www.popvssoda.com/countystats/total-county.html" target ="_blank">map of the US</a> that shows the breakdown of what this tasty beverage is called.  Click on a state to see the breakdown by county.  They left out the choice of soda-pop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK listen  up! As every southerner knows it&#8217;s time to get ready for that all important  cooking technique of the south&#8212;outdoor Grilling! I have found several stores  (not just in the south) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q Grill! This is not a  joke. You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brunos</li>
<li>Publix</li>
<li>Fry&#8217;s</li>
<li>Kroger</li>
<li>Big Lots</li>
<li>Sam&#8217;s  Club</li>
<li>Target</li>
<li>Winn Dixie</li>
<li>Wal-Mart</li>
</ul>
<p>
<img src="http://www.dolantrout.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/gree-bbq-grill_480.bmp" alt="Free BBQ Grill" />
</p>
<p>I especially like the higher shelf which  can be used for keeping things warm!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been wondering why I feel so tired. I&#8217;ve been blaming it on lack of<br />
sleep, not enough sunshine, too much pressure from my job,<br />
earwax build-up, poor blood or anything else I could think of. But now I<br />
found out the real reason:<br />
I&#8217;m tired because I&#8217;m overworked.<br />
Here&#8217;s why. . . .<br />
The population of this country is 273 million.<br />
140 million are retired.<br />
That leaves 133 million to do the work.<br />
There are 85 million in school.<br />
This leaves 48 million to do the work.<br />
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government.<br />
Leaving 19 million to do the work.<br />
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden</p>
<p>This leaves 16.2 million to do the work.<br />
Take from that total the 14.8 million people who work for state and city<br />
governments.<br />
And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.<br />
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.<br />
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.<br />
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.<br />
That leaves just two people to do the work.<br />
You and me.<br />
And there you are sitting on your butt, at your computer, reading blogs.<br />
Nice. Real nice </p>

<p>-PROGRESS REPORT: PASTORAL SEARCH COMMITTEE REPORT</p>
<p>In our search for a suitable pastor, the following notes have been assembled as to progress to date. They are confidential information and shared here for your perusal.</p>
<p>To date, of the candidates investigated by the committee, only one was found to have the necessary qualities to serve our congregation in the office of Senior Pastor.</p>
<p>The following list contains the names of the candidates and findings on each.</p>
<p>NOAH: He is observed to have 120 years of preaching experience, but no converts.</p>
<p>MOSES: It is believed that he committed murder. He stutters. His former congregation reported that he loses his temper over trivial things.</p>
<p>ABRAHAM: He took off to Egypt during hard times. We heard that he got into trouble with the authorities and then tried to lie his way out.</p>
<p>DAVID: He is of unacceptable moral character with adultery on his record. There is an allegation of conspiracy to commit murder but this is unproven. He might have been considered for minister of music had he not &#8216;fallen.&#8217;</p>
<p>SOLOMON: He has an honorable reputation for wisdom but fails to practice what he preaches.</p>
<p>ELIJAH: He proved to be inconsistent, and is known to fold under pressure.</p>
<p>HOSEA: His family life is in shambles; divorced and remarried to a practitioner of a pagan religion who may even be a prostitute.</p>
<p>JEREMIAH: He is too emotional, an alarmist; some say a real &#8216;pain in the neck.&#8217;</p>
<p>AMOS: Comes from a farming background. Better off picking figs.</p>
<p>JOHN: He says he is a Baptist but lacks tact and dresses like a hippie. Would not feel comfortable at a church potluck supper due to his non-standard food requirements.</p>
<p>PETER: Has a bad temper and is believed to have denied Christ publicly, maybe more than once.</p>
<p>PAUL: We found him to lack tact. He is too harsh, his appearance is contemptible and his sermons are far too long.</p>
<p>TIMOTHY: He has potential, but is much too young for the position.</p>
<p>JESUS: He tends to offend church members with his preaching, especially Bible scholars. He is also too controversial. He even offended the search committee with his pointed questions.</p>
<p>JUDAS: He seemed to be very practical, co-operative, good with money, cares for the poor, and dresses well. We all agreed that he is just the man we are looking for to fill the vacancy as our Senior Pastor. Thank you for all you have done in assisting us with our pastoral search. Pastoral Search Committee chairman</p>
