As you may know, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was
his turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her
alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of an auto accident.

One of them
missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.

One's
car wouldn't start.

One went back to
answer the telephone

One had a
child that dawdled
and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.

One couldn't
get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man
who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
took the various means to get to work
but before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today.


Now when I am
stuck in traffic ,
miss an elevator,
all the little things that annoy me.
I think to myself,
this is exactly where

God wants me to be
at this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be
going wrong ,

the children are slow getting dressed,
you can't seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light,
don't get mad or frustrated; It
may be just that
God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you
with all those annoying little things
and may you remember their possible purpose.

thats really good.

pretty interesting how life works.  thank you for the reminder that someone has a plan for us.

so true.

Very true, Thank you for posting and may God bless all who read this post....oh and the one that posted it ;)

And I guess the 3000 people that died that day did not believe in god?  Oops, I forgot people don't want to discuss religion on this site  ;).

It's not that they don't want to discuss religion, but why should we all have to defend something or SOMEONE bigger than us to people who are closed minded and don't seem to have anything worth believing in.

God Bless all those who do believe and those who don't.

So that makes you "God" fearing christians open minded?  That's funny  :lecture.gif

VERY GOOD ADVISE YOU GAVE THERE FISH!   :-*  :lecture.gif

God Bless You!

 Fish, Dont you have a city to corrupt? lol 


    to each his own, "a sower went out to sow his seed Some seeds fall and are trampled and eaten by birds of the air, others fall in the rocks and whither in the sun for lack of moisture, some seeds will fall into the thorns and the thorns sprang up with the seeds but choked out the seeds and some will grow and yielded a crop a hundred fold "


  The seeds are the word of God, in the example we all make our choices.

God fearing people are more open minded b/c we know how to forgive.And we let those close minded, opinionated,non God believing people learn the hard way what's fact and that their opinion may not always be right, but it is THEIR opinion!

No Rumbling goin on here... I'm 26yrs old it's not worth fighting with a 40something yr old.... don't want him to have a coronary....lol just joking Fish!

Good post Scrub, I read it right after I posted on the "Croom" thread,

thanks for postin it, what I think is sad about that day is how many people & E.M.S. that are alive today feel bad about not being there w/ there people, that probably hurts, a lot are prob. still goin to therapy for it.

I refinished floors in a house in S.Tampa for a guy who worked at CHASE & got transferred down here, we talked about that day, he was in one of those buildings & left before it happened, he was talkin about it & broke down & started crying, told me he was sorry, I told him I was sorry.
His name is Sal if anybody here works for CHASE in Tampa by the airport might know him, great guy.

The reason were not that open minded is because we KNOW the truth and what is going to happen. Why listen to some crap someone says when its based on lies and guesses? I feell bad for you people that dont believe in God and that believe the wrong things. I hope for all of you to get saved.

Remember, its time to turn before you burn. - Rev. Billy Ray Collins.

Not to start a fight here but that statement in itself sounds closed minded to me, I would think if you were open minded not all people who do not believe in god would be close minded, just a thought. 

 Great story Kelly.

Is he an A/E? Name sounds familiar

it's not a close minded statement , just a statement.

Ive always thougth there was a "reason" for something happening, good or bad. Something really bad happened to me back in july and I cant find a good reason in it. One very small probable one, but not a big deal, especially compared to the "bad" part. So most of the time I can find a reason.

Would I be closed minded if I said all the religious people I know think they are better than everyone else, point fingers and talk about everyone else like a bunch of old ladies with nothing better to do, or would it just be a statement?  You just classified every non God believing person as closed minded and opinionated.  I agree what you said it is just a statement, but grouping every non God believer into one category is to me judgemental and closed minded as well what I said with my opening statement, that every religious person I know acts like an old stuck up bitty.  I am sorry I don't mean to start a whole religious debate, but it really isn't about religion, just sounded hypocritical all in the same post to call a group of people (this case non god) closed minded then claim yourself (god fearing) open minded.  I personally think classifying a group of people is close minded.

Nice weather we're having.... ;D ;D ;D

(nothing good can come of all this...)   :-* :-* :-*

When I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer

Thanks Jim......

I wish I lived closer to budman,
you gonna come up to the MotoPlex 28-30th ?

Nope.... too far of a haul for me. I already have to go 3 hours to ride, I wish it was closer... ::)

 I just got a bag of popcorn and Rum n coke.... time to watch. lol

OK...  ;)

LOL no I don't think anything interesting is going to happen, we are having a civilized conversation, or debate however you want to put it.   ;D

Well I guess we can't have a decent thread about religion, politics and now dogs, what else can there be.  I suppose we could talk about quads and such but you hardly ever get a good debate going with that.

Swamp, I BOUGHT A KING QUAD. 

KING QUAD!!! My foreman would go circles around that hunk you should of bought a HONDA!!! LMAO  :box.gif :T

We can try to have a debate  :)  j/k

 There is hope for you yet ;)  How are things going in SIN CITY??

Going good, I went riding twice now on the King and I am lovin it.  Went to the Rubicon trail which I did not care for too much but the last ride I went on some mountain trails and dirt roads and had a blast.   ;)

Pipe, Air filter (foam) and programmer....then works shocks and 26inch mud lites



    that package will get you closer to God.  JK

Well I got a warn winch and some sort of bag for the back.  Remember we don't have mud up here, will have some snow very soon though, it snowed last night in the mountains 30 minutes from the house.  Everything else will have to wait, with a new house and the wifes new car and my new quad things are a little tight right now if you know what I mean.    :ThumbsUp.gif

 Trust me brother I know... spending has stopped @ our house also. ;)
