Memorial Rock Dedicated to Our Military

Hey Dad,

We saw this rock being pulled behind a pick-up truck last week on I-35 South near the Oklahoma Kansas border. On the back it said "Dedicated 14 April, May or June 2011, couldn't read the whole thing since straps and cardboard were covering it. We had to take a picture with my iPhone as we pulled-up next to it going about 75mph. The guy driving the truck looked to be Vietnam vintage and had a Marine Corps sticker on his rear window. Pics came out pretty good for that speed, of course it is all about relative motion. Not sure where this rock was going but it was pretty cool to see the American spirit in the heart of the midwest.

Love Joe

Enduring Eagle

Dear Joe,

For all the beautiful nature pictures I've sent you, these top them all. These are gorgeous pictures and together tell a very cool story. I wonder where this was? I heard the eagle population is growing again in many states.

Love,

Dad

Not only great pictures but a great comment at the end!

The fellow sitting on the tailgate of his pickup truck never realized the show he was missing.

Adam & Eve's Pets

Dear Joe,
There are dog people and cat people in the world. We are definitely dog people.
Love,
Dad

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.'

And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.'

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.

And it was a good animal and God was pleased.

Replica of Noah's Ark

Dear Joe,

I don't know what to write except that this is awesome! Can you believe this man built the arc to the exact scale given in the Bible?

Love,

Dad

Working Replica of Noah's Ark opened In Schagen, Netherlands

The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened and the first crowd of curious townsfolk beheld the wonder. This replica of the biblical Ark was built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

Dear Joe,
This is a very moving narration by the late Orson Welles. The clip is well worth watching.

Lutheran Airlines

Dear Joe,
This is really funny, even if you are not Lutheran or from Minnesota. Pass it around and see what your friends think.

Baby Moose in Sprinkler

Dear Joe,
Make sure the kiddos see this video. If you listen really close in the audio you can hear the woman who is recording this trying to keep her kids quiet in the background so as not to frighten the moose and chase them away.

Love,

Dad

Tsunami from Street Level

Dear Joe,
This is amazing yet so tragic. The video puts perspective on the water force/damage.

You Picked A Fine Time to Lead Us

God Created Children

Dear Joe,
I know you have just spent several hours cooped up in the car with the kiddos. I thought you might get a chuckle out of this. Enjoy the beach!
Love,
Dad

God Created Children (and Grandchildren in the process)

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students ... here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children.

Don't Stretch After Jogging

Dear Joe,
Mom is always scolding me to stretch after my walk. Should I show her this as a reason not to?
Love,
Dad

Funny GPS Commercial

Dear Joe,
I agree that this should have been a Super Bowl commercial. Who thinks these commercials up?

Old Fart Pride

Dear Joe,
Is the phrase "old fart" still around. Don't let my grandson see this email. He's got too much bathroom humor already.
Love,
Dad

Old Fart Pride

Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see. Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.

Canadian Tax Story

Dear Joe,
I received this from a Canadian friend I made on that Panama Canal cruise Mom and I took. Ed and I had a good time chuckling over the bureaucracies of our countries.
Love,
Dad

At the end of the tax year, Revenue Canada office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital. While the auditor was checking the books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?"

Johns Hopkins Update

Dear Joe,
This is good information if used judiciously. My feeling is that some risk in life is necessary for happiness and good health, therefore, I refuse to cut out all sweets (especially ice cream), milk and meat.
Love,
Dad
