Katrina

here's an article that my brother david wrote at his blog, www.standonbible.blogspot.com. enjoy!



Early today, Hurricane Katrina made its first landfall in the south Louisiana peninsula. Katrina was a Category 4 hurricane, one of the most destructive of the breed.

The most destruction occurred at its third landfall, when 125 mph winds and cataclysmic flooding devastated the Louisiana/Mississippi border. Close by, the New Orleans levee system collapsed under the strain, sending 3 to 8 feet of water through the city. The winds at the Lake Front Airport had reached 86 mph when observations stopped coming.

Hurricane Katrina's Projected PathStructural damage covers New Orleans. In the neighboring city of Gulfport, MS, the Weather Channel Storm Tracker reported storm surges of at least 27 feet.

Areas as far away as the Florida panhandle were impacted by Katrina. Waves along those beaches could reach from 25 to 35 feet this afternoon. In fact, a buoy 70 miles south of the Alabama border reported wave action up to 48 feet!

According to The Weather Channel, Katrina is expected to turn into a Tropical Storm tonight, but destructive winds and heavy rainfall, along with an isolated tornado or two, are projected to continue up toward Cincinnati, Ohio (see graphic for details).



Wow. Yet another incredibly destructive storm has laid waste to our coastlines this year. Ken Ham wrote an excellent article Sunday afternoon concerning the impending disaster. Read it here.

As you might notice by glancing through my archives, this is the third article I have written concerning this year's flood of hurricanes (pun intended). It is interesting to note, in the light of previous posts, that Katrina set the 4th lowest recorded pressure for the Atlantic Gulf at 902 mb. Also, it did the most extreme damage to a strip of casinos and gambling halls along the Gulfport, MS seaboard.

Take a look at my earlier posts concerning hurricanes:

Hurricane Irene?

Hurricane after Hurricane: What does it mean?

hello! broken arm.

enjoying yourselves?

hey fellows of the world of computer's!

guess what? uh.. i guess i will tell you the whole thing!

the other evening, i was playing kickball with my friends. my brother, theo, kicked the ball, straight my way.
i quickly, but too soon, jumped up and blocked the ball so that it would not be a home run, but when i came down, my arm landed first. i had had a bruise there for quite a while, but did ot pay attetion to it. so i did not know that it was anything more than a fast-swelling bruise.
when i came in, 2o minutes later, mom saw it and right away i was rushed to the ER.
i know am doing typing and school with my left hand, while my right hangs in a cast for 3 weeks to 5.

and i'm right handed too! :-(

[GCFL.net] Man's Tension

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly her husband burst into the kitchen.

"Careful. CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my goodness!

"You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN
THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my!

"WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to
STICK!

"Careful ... CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to
me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you
CRAZY?

"Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You
know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE
SALT! THE SALT!"

The wife stared at him. "What's wrong with you? You think I
don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I wanted to show you what it
feels like when I'm driving."

[GCFL.net] Bible Brain Twister

Bible Brain Twister By John Kezer

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It
was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts, and for
others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially
since the names of the books are not capitalized, but the
truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others,
it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few
moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to
spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly
admit it usually takes a minister to find one of the 17, and
there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little
lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate
better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there
really are the names of 17 books of the Bible in these
sentences.

One preacher found 16 books in 20 minutes. It took him three
weeks to find the seventeenth one.

(Hint: See how many books of the bible you can find in the
text above.)

[GCFL.net] For All Those Born Before 1945

Consider all the changes we have witnessed .....

We were born before television, before penicillin, before
polio shots, before frozen foods, plastics, Xerox, contact
lens, Frisbees and the PILL.

We were born before radar, credit cards, split atoms, laser
beams, and ball point pens, and before panty hose,
dishwashers, clothes dryers, electric blankets, air
conditioners, drip-dry clothes and before man walked on the
moon. We got married first and then lived together. How
quaint can you be? In out time closets were for clothes, not
coming out of. Bunnies were small rabbits and rabbits were
not Volkswagens. Designer Jeans were scheming girls named
Jean or Jeannie, and having a meaningful relationship meant
getting along with your cousin.

We thought fast food was what you ate during Lent, and outer
Space was the back of Loews Theatre. We were born before
house-husbands, gay rights, computer dating, and dual
careers. We never heard of FM radio, tape decks, electric
typewriters, artificial hearts, word processors, or guys
wearing ear rings. For us time sharing meant togetherness
and hardware and software weren't even words.

In 1939 "made in Japan" meant junk and the term "making out"
referred to how you did on your exam. Pizzas, MacDonalds and
instant coffee were unheard of. We hit the scene when there
were 5 and 10 cent stores, where you bought things for 5 and
10 cents. For a nickel you could ride on the street car,
make a phone call, but a Pepsi or enough stamps to mail one
letter or 2 post cards, and gas for your car (if you had
one) was 11 cents a gallon.

In our day GRASS was mowed, COKE was a cold drink, and POT
was something you cooked in. ROCK MUSIC was Grandma's
lullaby and AIDS were helpers in the Principal's office. We
were certainly not before the differences between the sexes
was discovered, but were surely before the sex change. And,
we were the last generation that was so dumb as to think you
needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder we are so
confused and there is such a generation gap today.

BUT WE SURVIVED!!!

[GCFL.net] Collateral Required

Long ago there was once an old native American who wanted a
loan for $500. The banker pulled out the loan application,
"What are you going to do with the money?"

"Take jewellery to city and sell it," was the response.

"What have you got for collateral?"

"Don't know collateral."

"Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of
the loan.Have you got any vehicles?"

"Yes, 1949 Chevy pickup."

The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?"

"Yes, I have a horse."

"How old is it?"

"Don't know, has no teeth."

Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan. Several
weeks later the old man was back in the bank. He pulled out
a roll of bills, "Here to pay." he said. He then handed the
banker the money to pay his loan off.

"What are you going to do with the rest of that money?"

"Put in tepee."

"Why don't you deposit it in my bank," he asked.

"Don't know deposit."

"You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for
you. When you want to use it you can withdraw it."

The old Indian leaned across the desk, "What you got for
collateral?"

[GCFL.net] The Zoo

Kimo is a bus driver for the Honolulu Transit Company. One
day Kimo is headed to work on his bus route, when he runs
across a delivery van stranded at the side of the road. The
van driver works for the Honolulu Zoo. He pleads with Kimo
to do him a favor.

He offers a $100 bill to Kimo to help him deliver a
truckload of penguins to the zoo, because they needed to be
there within the hour. Agreeing, Kimo proceeds to load two
dozen penguins onto his bus. Then, off they drive towards
the zoo.

An hour later, the delivery driver gets his van fixed and
heads off to the zoo to catch up with his delivery. As he's
driving down the road, he see's Kimo and the busload of
penguins heading in the opposite direction. He turns his van
around and chases in pursuit. He finally catches up to the
bus and pulls over Kimo on the side of the road. In an irate
voice he asks, "Hey, Kimo. I thought I gave you a $100
dollars to go and take the penguins to the zoo for me?"

"Calm down," Kimo says. "I took the penguins to the zoo. We
had change left over, so now I'm taking them to the movies!"

[GCFL.net] Park Pun

We took my sons, ages seven and five, up to Friendship Park
for a picnic.

My seven year old read the sign with the playground rules to
his brother.

"Do not jump on the merry-go-round when in motion."
"Go down the slide while sitting, only."
"Only one child on a swing at a time."
(There were a good twenty rules.)

The boys promised to obey them if I would let them play
without Daddy standing by. So, I joined my wife at the
picnic table.

Just before it was time to eat, I went over and watched them
play. They were obeying the rules, that is, all but one. On
the tall semicircular slide, they were coming down head
first!

I took them over to the posted regulations. We read them,
again. I asked the boys what they had to say for themselves.

"Oh, don't be silly, Dad...no one uses the slide rule
anymore!"

[GCFL.net] Getting Out Of Jury Duty

A man was chosen for jury duty who very much wanted to be
dismissed from serving. He tried every excuse he could think
of but none of them worked. On the day of the trial he
decided to give it one more shot. As the trial was about to
begin he asked if he could approach the bench.

"Your Honor," he said, " I must be excused from this trial
because I am prejudiced against the defendant. I took one
look at the man in his blue suit with those beady eyes and
that dishonest face and I said 'He's a crook! He's guilty,
guilty, guilty!' So your Honor, I can not possibly stay on
this jury!"

With a tired annoyance, the judge replied, "Get back in the
jury box. That man is his lawyer."

Tired of the inconvenience of driving from the airport to
his country cottage, a man equipped his small plane with
pontoons so he could land on the lake directly in front of
his cottage. On his next trip however, he made his approach
down the airport runway as usual.

Alarmed, his wife cried out, "Are you crazy? You can't land
this plane here without wheels!" The startled husband yanked
the nose up, narrowly averting certain disaster.

Continuing home, he landed the plane on the lake without
mishap. As he sat there, visibly shaken, he said to his
wife, "I don't know what on earth got into me. That's the
stupidest thing I've ever done in my life!"

And with that, he opened the door and stepped out ... right
into the water.

Many people wonder about the account in Job chapter 40 and 41 about the "behemoth" and the "leviathan."In Job 40:15, God is basically asking Job: "Who made the Behemoth?! Take a look at him!"Besides having problems in other places in the Bible, the "Amplified Bible" states as fact that the Behemoth is a hippopotamus:
15 Behold now the behemoth (the hippopotamus), which I created as I did you; he eats grass like an ox.
The problem with this theory is in verse 17:17 He moves his tail like a cedar tree;


Take a look at the pic.
I don't see anything that looks like a leaf, much less a whole Tree!
Then some people say that the Behemoth could be the elephant. After all, "tail" could be "trunk."
WRONG!
In verse 24, God asks:
24 Can any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?Well, the elephant hasn't a real nose to pierce, and if "some people" think that the trunk is the tail then where is the behemoth's nose?Hmmm...I don't know.Creationists believe that the behemoth is a sauropod dinosaur. I tend to agree with them.
Then we come to the "leviathon" in chapter 41. This animal is also given a commonplace name in the "Amplified Bible":
1 Can you draw out the leviathan (the crocodile) with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
Here is a problem right off the bat! If you can't draw out a croc with a fishhook, then what is that thing on the end of this guy's line?!
Problem #2 is in verse 19:
19 Out of his mouth go burning torches, [and] sparks of fire leap out.
I haven't ever seen a crocodile that breaths fire and sparks!Problem #3 is in verse 30:
30 His underparts are like sharp pieces of broken pottery; he spreads grooves like a threshing sledge upon the mire.
Well, I couldn't get a picture of a croc's slide, but do you think that underbelly could make grooves?I don't think so.
So what is the leviathan? I believe he was a ferocious sea dragon.
There you go!
The final problem with the Leviathan being a nasty croc, and the Behemoth being the noseless elephant or the tailless hippo appears in verse 33 of chapter 41, which, incidentally, is the last verse in that chapter. Here it is:
33 Upon earth there is not his (the crocodile's) equal, a creature made without fear and he behaves fearlessly.
Here is the main problem:
Hippos eat crocs for lunch!
So what do you think? To comment click here.In Christ,Theo

Every night, Frank would go down to the liquor store, get a
six pack, bring it home, and drink it while he watched TV.
One night, as he finished his last beer, the doorbell rang.
He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach
standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw
him across the room, then left.

The next night, after he finished his fourth beer, the
doorbell rang. He walked slowly to the door and found the
same six-foot cockroach standing there. The big bug punched
him in the stomach, then left.

The next night, after he finished his first beer, the
doorbell rang again. The same six-foot cockroach was
standing there. This time he was kneed in the groin and hit
behind the ear as he doubled over in pain. Then the big bug
left.

The fourth night Frank didn't drink at all. The doorbell
rang. The cockroach was standing there. The bug beat the
snot out of Frank and left him in a heap on the living room
floor.

The following day, Frank went to see his doctor. He
explained the events of the preceding four nights.

"What can I do?" he pleaded.

"Not much," the doctor replied. "There's just a nasty bug
going around."

many months have 28 days?

2) If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one
pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the
pills had been taken?

up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine o'clock in
the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being
awoken by the alarm?

[GCFL.net] New School Term

Donation Drive (5 days left)

The start of the new school term always brings out the most
interesting questions for computer consultants on campus.
The predominant questions this term pertain to "getting
into" E-mail and how to access the "Information Highway."

An obviously distraught student came into the consulting
office yesterday complaining that his E-mail wasn't working;
his attempts to get tickets for an on-campus concert kept
resulting in returned mail.

He showed me the mail address he was attempting to reach. I
asked him where he obtained such an unusual mail address.

He replied, "The sign told me, 'begins@7:30 P.M.'"
