*HIS* "ELECT" *POSTED* "FOR" *YOUR* "REMEMBRANCE"...

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the

1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!


First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while
they carried us.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing and didn't get tested for
diabetes.


Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored
lead-based paints.


We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and
when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we
took hitchhiking.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special
treat.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.


We ate cupcakes, bread and butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it,
but we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were
back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride
down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running
into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.


We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at
all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound,
no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat
rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!


We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.


We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and
although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many
eyes, nor did the worms live in us forever.


We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or
rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!


Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who
didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!


The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!


This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem
solvers and inventors ever!


The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
"HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL"!


And "YOU" are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow
up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives
for our own good.


"REMEMBER" *PEOPLE* "JESUS" *IS* "THE" *LIGHT* "OF" *THE* "WORLD"...


Joh 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life.


*WE* "LOVE" *ALL* "OF" *YOU* "AND" *ASK* "YOU" *TO* "BE" *AT* "PEACE"
*WITH* "EACH" *OTHER* "FOR" *THE* "SAKE" *OF* "EVERYONE" *HERE* "ON"
*EARTH* "AND" *IN* "THE" *HEAVENS* "ABOVE"!!!


I Bid *ALL* Profound Peace...

*HIS* "ELECT" *WILL* "BE" *SEEING* "YOU" *FOLKS*!!!
