Arizona's No Non Sense Approach
The different between California and Arizona... LOL..Thanks Dad for sharing this e mail with me.
California
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi", then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what's natural.
2. He calls Animal Control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 for testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the state $200 for testing it for disease.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for disease from the coyote and for getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail is shut down for 6 months, while Fish & Game conducts their $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor next spends $50,000 in state funds, implementing a "Coyote Awareness" program for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease, throughout the world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not somehow stopping the attack and for letting the Governor attempt to stop the attack.
9. Additional cost to State of California : $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special training re: The Nature of Coyotes.
10. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the state.
Arizona
The Governor of Arizona is jogging, with her dog, along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow-point cartridge.
2. Arizona buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke.

Teaching Phonics
My school day is a little bit like this.... Thanks Jo Jo for posting it on your blog. I enjoyed it so much I am sharing it.
Vanity
Here is a poem I wrote after watching a stupid tabloid show. I should not have watched it.. I know better. So, here ya go Lindsay L and Mel Gibson. And all the other people, Hollywood or not, who think they are above the law or more importantly living without one thought about what God thinks, Romans 10:3-For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.. We all get self absorbed at times. We all sin, we all make mistakes. Romans 3:23-For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God .I thank God that through his mercy there is forgivness and a fresh start for those who seek him.Titus 3:5 --Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...Sin comes with consequences, Proverbs 13:15... But the way of the trangressor is hard and Romans 6:23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. However, we can obtain mercy and strength through God if we ask. Hebrews 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I am glad that God offers us an out to our sin our pride and vanity. He's put it in his word and we can get victory over it through prayer and submission to his word. Even for Linsday and Mel G. I know it's something that I am praying about for myself in my life. I need more submission to God's word and less worrying about what others think about me, if I do. All that matters is what God thinks about me, so if THAT is vanity too, so be it. I want to hear "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" someday.
Vanity
Why can' t you see,
It's all about me?
There is nothing in life
more important than me.
I see my beauty and need
constant praise.
All that I do
is on constant display.
If you reach out to me,
I am too busy to see.
The things that you need,
They won't concern me.
My life is just this -
It's for all to see.
There is nothing more important
Than my vanity.
