Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker answers his master’s call

“David Koch”: We’ll back you any way we can. What we were thinking about the crowd was, uh, was planting some troublemakers.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker: You know, well, the only problem with that—because we thought about that…"

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was duped by a newspaper editor posing as a billionaire backer | Mail Online:

"‘[Reagan] had one of the most defining moments of his political career when he fired the air traffic controllers. …That was the first crack in the Berlin Wall and the fall of communism, because from that moment forward the Soviets and the Communists knew that Ronald Reagan wasn’t a pushover,' Walker said."

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.  The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other  recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay onopposite sides of the island. 

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. 

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing. 

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing. 

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. 

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"  "My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything." 


"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings." 

"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" 

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered." 

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. This is too good not to share...
 

My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed. 
"What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself" 

This was shared with me by a friend; I hope you will share with your friends!Be

In this unmissable look at the magic of comics, Scott McCloud bends the presentation format into a cartoon-like experience, where colorful diversions whiz through childhood fascinations and imagined futures that our eyes can hear and touch.

THIS IS JUST AN INCREDIBLE STORY !!!!

 THIS IS JUST AN INCREDIBLE STORY !!!!

 

cid:E9A229DDBE3F464EA0C5B7018B923FDC@OwnerPC


In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University ...

 


On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

 


The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

 


He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.

 


As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,

 


after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

 


The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.

 


Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

 


Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away

 


Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

 


Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.

 


As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and

 


walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing

 


The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.

 


The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

 


Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.

 


Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.

 


He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

 


The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs

 


and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

 


Probably wasn't the same elephant.

 


This is for everyone who sends those heart-warming bullshit stories.
