Lady Plumber

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive. Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids. 

 

  

Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

  ~  

During her time of doing this, she managed to Smuggle out and save around 2500 kids/infants. Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

  

 

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard and after the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the families. Most had been gassed and those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

  ~  

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming. Later another politician, Barack Obama, won for his work as a community organizer for ACORN.

  

 

In MEMORIAM - 65 YEARS LATER I'm doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you'll consider doing the same. It is now more than 65 years since the Second World War in Europe ended.

  ~  

This message is being sent as a memorial in memory of the 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, 6 million Jews, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated! Now, more than ever, with Iran, and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be 'a myth', it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

  

 

This message is intended to reach 40 million people Worldwide! Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Please send this message to people you know and ask them to continue the memorial.

Snotty Medical Receptionist

 ~ 

Yesterday I  had an appointment to see the urologist for a Prostate exam.

 ~ 
Of course I was a bit on edge because all my friends have either gone under The knife or had those pellets implanted.

The waiting room was filled with patients.  As I approached the Receptionist's  desk, I noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly Woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler

  ~  
I gave her my name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, 

"YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE AND CONTINUED TO SAY LOUDLY; 

YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?" 

  ~  
All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at Me, a, now, very embarrassed man. But as usual, I recovered quickly, and in an Equally loud voice replied,

  ~   
'NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, 

BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS."

Buried on September 11, 2001

Lies the future of every man, woman, and child

Who's lives were taken at the hands and deeds

Of despicable men, known to us as terrorists

In this grave site ,lies not only the bodies of mortals,

But instead, every fiber of their being

Here lies the next breath of each...that was never taken

Here lies the last thoughts of each.. as they faced death

Here lies the fear and agony that each had felt

Here lies the unfinished prayers or screams

Upon the lips of numbers unknown

Here lies the pain and suffering each endured

for minutes or hours of which we have no knowledge

Here lies the tears that normally brings relief

But not for them

Here lies the blood that each had shed

that once sustained their lives

But not any more

Here lies the hopes, dreams, and the future

of nearly 3000 souls

Along with goals, expectations and achievements

Never to be realized

Here lies the words and hugs

Bestowed upon one another

As they shared one of the most intimate times of their lives..

Their impending deaths

Here lies the confusion and mayhem they felt

As they hopelessly searched for ways to survive

Here lies the heroism and the love of their fellow man

As they sacrificed their own lives in an attempt to save a strangers'

Here lies the unanswered questions that each had asked

While trying to understand what was happening

And WHY

Here lies all the unspoken words...never to be heard

Here lies every moment of every life

That was lost that horrific day

And here lies all that was denied each life

By the hands and deeds of despicable men,

Who's acts are seared into the minds and hearts

Of the millions who watched in horror

Here lies the grief , felt by untold numbers

In a nation of wealth and power

That was brought to it's knees that day

And here lies the haughtiness of the nation's peoples

Now clothed in remembrance and humility.

AND THEN IT IS WINTER

  LUNCH and Then it was Winter 

 ~ 

  ~ 

You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.
  ~  
But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
  ~  
But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!
  ~   
And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...its over. A new adventure will begin!
  ~  
Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.
  

 
So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!

~ God's Rosebud Poem ~

This is a great poem!

  

  

A new minister was 

walking with an older,
more seasoned minister
in the garden one day.

 ~ 

Feeling a bit insecure 
about what God 
had for him to do, 
he was asking the older 

preacher for some advice.

  

 

The older preacher walked 

up to a rosebush and 

handed the young preacher
a rosebud and told him to 

open it without tearing 

off any of the petals.

 ~ 

The young preacher
looked in disbelief at 

the older preacher and 

was trying to figure out
what a rosebud could 

possibly have to do
with his wanting to 

know the will of God for 

his life and ministry.

 ~ 

But because of his great 

respect for the older 

preacher, he proceeded 

to try to unfold the rose,
while keeping every petal 

intact.

 ~ 

It wasn't long before he 

realized how impossible
this was to do.

 ~ 

Noticing the younger 

preacher's inability
to unfold the rosebud
without tearing it,
the older preacher
began to recite the 

following poem... 

 

"It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine."
 ~ 
"The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so easily,
But in my hands they die."
 ~ 
"If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom 
To unfold this life of mine?"
 ~ 
"So I'll trust in God for leading 
Each moment of my day.
I will look to God for guidance 
In each step along the way."

 ~ 

"The path that lies before me,
Only my Lord and Savior knows.
I'll trust God to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose."

Thoughts To Ponder

Isn't this the truth and I wonder why I bothered working all those years?
