god is too busy
If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!
A United States Marine was taking some college courses
between assignments. He had completed 20 missions in Iraq
and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who
was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in.
He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "GOD, if you are real, then
I want you to knock me off this platform... I'll give you exactly 15 min."
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes
went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting."
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got
out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him;
knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.
The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there
looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to,
noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked,
"What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
The Marine calmly replied,
"GOD was too busy today protecting America's
soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid
stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me."
The classroom erupted in cheers!
THIS IS GOOD, KEEP IT GOING!

phones in church
Phones In Church
A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about churches around
the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working
east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making
notes.
He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued
with a sign, which read "Calls: $10,000 a minute.."
Seeking out the pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The
pastor answered that this golden phone is, in fact, a direct line to
heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to GOD.
The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to
visit churches in Seattle , Phoenix , Salt Lake City , Denver ,
Oklahoma City, and around the United States , he found more phones,
with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrived in Minnesota , upon entering a church in Maple Lake , Minnesota
behold - he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign
read "Calls: 35 cents."
Fascinated, he asked to talk to the pastor, "Reverend, I have been in
cities & towns all across the country and in each church I have found this
golden telephone and have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and
that I could talk to GOD, but in the other churches the cost was
$10,000 a minute. Your sign reads only 35 cents a call.
Why?"
I love this part...
The pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in Minnesota now ...
You're in God's Country, It's a local call."

safest place
1. Avoid riding in automobiles
Because they are responsible for
20% of all fatal accidents.
2. Do not stay home because
17% of all accidents occur in the home.
3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks
Because 14% of all accidents
Occur to pedestrians.
4.. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water
Because 16% of all accidents involve
These forms of transportation.
5. Of the remaining 33%,
32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals.
So, above all else, avoid hospitals.
But. . ..
You will be pleased to learn that only .001%
Of all deaths occur in worship services in church,
And these are usually related to previous physical
Disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest
Place for you to be at any given point in time is at
Church!
And . . . Bible study is safe too!
The percentage of deaths
During Bible study is even less.
So,
Attend church,
And read your Bible
IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Does this fit the "shovel ready project " status ???

You'll just love this!!!
Glenn Lee Beck
This is a perfect example why many refrain from watching the news on ABC, NBC, CBS, or MSNBC.
Today on a segment of the "Glenn Beck Show" on FOX (Fox Cable News) was the following:
Today, even though President Obama is against offshore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayer dollars (which we can't afford to loan since we're broke) to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company
(the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil! The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA !
Now here's the real clincher...the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels"..
We have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever!
Wait, it gets more interesting.
Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American BILLIONAIRE, George Soros, who was President Obama's most
generous financial supporter during his campaign. If you are able to connect the dots and follow the money, you are probably as upset as I am. Not a word of this transaction was broadcast on any of the other news networks! Are they doing their job? Think about it.
Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country and where it is headed. Also, let all your Government representatives know how you feel about this.
Below is the Wall street Journal article to confirm this.

KEEP THIS ONE GOING AND GOING AND GOING......
TILL NOVEMBER 2010 AT LEAST.
GRRRRRRRRRR....!
I'm MAD AND YOU WILL BE TOO!
Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves$4,700 and $5,300 raises..
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife
3. Over 2-yrs The House & Senate each get $10,000 raises
4 Do you feel SCREWED?
5. WILL your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase? You better believe they will!
WILL THEIRS...NO WAY . They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past.
You're obviously too stupid or don't care. No offense; just making a point!
6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?
SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.
IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS AND Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE,
AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND TELL THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.
Maybe it's time for the........
Amendment 28
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United
States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives,
and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or
Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the
United States ."
Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America
If you don't forward this to all your friends you're just part of the problem of national apathy.
IT'S TIME!!!!!!!
JUST DO IT!
LET'S GET IT DONE !

KEEP THIS ONE GOING AND GOING AND GOING......
TILL NOVEMBER 2010 AT LEAST.
GRRRRRRRRRR....!
I'm MAD AND YOU WILL BE TOO!
Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves$4,700 and $5,300 raises..
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife
3. Over 2-yrs The House & Senate each get $10,000 raises
4 Do you feel SCREWED?
5. WILL your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase? You better believe they will!
WILL THEIRS...NO WAY . They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past.
You're obviously too stupid or don't care. No offense; just making a point!
6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?
SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.
IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS AND Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE,
AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND TELL THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.
Maybe it's time for the........
Amendment 28
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United
States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives,
and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or
Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the
United States ."
Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America
If you don't forward this to all your friends you're just part of the problem of national apathy.
IT'S TIME!!!!!!!
JUST DO IT!
LET'S GET IT DONE !

DONNELLY NEWS
Next edition Oct 23rd-30th
Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news.
Weather news: the weather has been cooler in the last week than it has been in previous weeks however it was still mostly sunny and dry (we did have a little rain sun eve) enabling area farmers to make good progress on getting their corn picked. When I talked to my neighbors on Sat they said the corn was running about 16-17% so they did not need to do much drying. The co-op manager said that it has been an easy job this year keeping up with the demand for propane. By the time you read this I would suspect most farmers in the area will have most of their corn harvested.
STJ/KONG PARISH NEWS: the parish will have joint services at Kong on Oct 31st at 11 am with the ss kids singing again. It will be followed by a light lunch and afterwards about 12:30 pm Wayne Grunklee of Thrivent will give a presentation about the proposed endowment fund that is being established for both churches. The endowment fund will be discussed and voted on at each congregations annual meeting
Our services will be broadcast on KMRS on Oct 24th at 11 am sponsored by Jim and Lou Eystad in memory of family members

Advance sale tickets for the St J beef supper On Nov 9th are now on sale. To purchase tickets call 246-3436 or the parish office at 246-3211.
No matter what your taste in food is you should be able to find something to your liking at the many churches in the area that are having a meal in the upcoming weeks.

am I a fireman yet?
A true story according to snopes.
Couldn't get through this without crying...just warning ya.
In Phoenix , Arizona , a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia.
Although her heart was filled with sadness,
She also had a strong feeling of determination.
Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up & fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible..the leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dream to come true.
She took her son's hand and asked, 'Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?'
Mommy, 'I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up'
Mom smiled back and said, 'Let's see if we can
Make your wish come true.'
Later that day she went to her local fire
Department in Phoenix , Arizona , where she met
Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix
She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her 6 year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.
Fireman Bob said, 'Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary Fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards!
And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat - not a toy - one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, and a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.'
'They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix ,
So we can get them fast.'
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy,
Dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.
Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station.
He was in heaven.
There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day
And Billy got to go out on all three calls.
He rode in the different fire engines, the Paramedic's' van, and even the fire chief's car.
He was also videotaped for the local news program.
Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed
In the hospice concept - that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital.
Then she remembered the day Billy had spent
As a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and
Asked if it would be possible to send a fireman
In uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.
The chief replied, 'We can do better than that.
We'll be there in five minutes..... Will you please do me a favor?
When you hear the sirens screaming and see the
Lights flashing, will you announce over the
PA system that there is not a fire?'
'It's the department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will
You open the window to his room?'
About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window--------
16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room with his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him.
With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said,
'Chief, am I really a fireman now?'
'Billy, you are, and The Head Chief,
Jesus, is holding your hand,' the chief said with those words, Billy smiled and said,
'I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and
The angels have been singing..'
He closed his eyes one last time.
My instructions were to send this to at least four
People that I wanted God to bless and I picked you.
Please pass this to at least four people you
Want to be blessed.
This story is powerful and there is nothing attached.
PLEASE
Do not break this pattern.
Uplifting stories are one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost, but a lot of rewards, let's
Continue to uplift one another!
This is a true story
