. Some people feel other people get their way because they have more money. Well, no matter how rich or poor you are, you always need to speak you mind, and no matter how rich or poor you are, you need to be nice when you do.
3. Don’t tell your friends what their motives are. You can tell your friends when you do not feel their actions were appropriate or even unacceptable, but do not tell them what their motives were. After the Haitii earthquake, President Obama allowed illegal Haiti immigrants to stay in the U.S. for a while without being deported. Immediately Republicans started questioning his motives and accusing him of having selfish reasons for doing what he did. So what is Obama suppose to do in that situation? Do the wrong thing so people won’t accuse him of having selfish motives for doing the right thing? In that situation, all he could do was the right thing, and as long as he was doing the right thing the motives were irrelevant at that point. The Republicans showed their true colors by being more concerned about the President’s motives rather being concerned about the people of Hatti. I am a Republican by the way. We already make poor judges of other people’s actions, and we have no clue when it comes to judging motives.
1. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Replace the word, “love” with your own name, and then ask God to work in you, so that those verses will still make sense.
That’s good William,thanks. I shall plagiarize(sp?) some of this for the class I’m teaching this week. Hope things are going well.
At least I didn’t plagiarize that one.Many thanks go out to everyone involved in the Currie-Hon-E-Kor Challenge! The event was a blast and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! We are planning a revenge match @ The "National" and are working on a date sometime in August. So keep checking back here for more info.

yomogi.sakura.ne.jp/~peachKaren Sue Kier Hadley died April 3, 2019. She was born June 15, 1938 in Olympia, WA to Frances Croshaw Kier and Bill Kier. She lived several places, most notably The Dalles, Eugene, and Portland, OR, graduating from Franklin High School. Karen’s favorite thing was spending time with her family and found great joy in her grandchildren. She was welcoming, full of love, and much loved. Karen was a teacher’s aide for Portland Public Schools for almost 30 years, pioneering a program to teach students computer skills when computers first became popular. A member of Calvary Presbyterian Church for over 45 years, she enjoyed being a Deacon, bookkeeper, and office assistant as well as visiting parishioners. Karen loved the Portland Trailblazers, spending time at the beach, and is known for her apple pies. She is survived by her daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. Services will be held at 1:30 PM on Saturday, April 27, at Calvary Presbyterian Church, 3516 NE 71st Ave, Portland. Donations in Karen’s name can be made to the American Heart Association or Mainspring Portland, a community food, clothing, & resources pantry (mainspringpdx.org).
I am remembering Karen very fondly. I know she will be greatly missed.
Karen was my closest and oldest dear friend of 77 years. She will be so missed and will leave an empty spot in my life. Karen was the kindest and most caring person I have known. She was always caring about others. I am so grateful to have known her and had her friendship!
I am saddened to hear this news. What a wonderful person! It was a pleasure to work with Karen at Buckman School. Her gentle presence was a blessing to students and staff.
I am so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. I see Diana occasionally in Molalla. Your family is in my prayers.
Karen was a very sweet and caring person. I looked forward to working with her each week. She always had a smile and something positive to share. Karen loved her family, her grandchildren were her joy. I will miss our time together.
Karen was my Girl Scout leader and mom to one of my dearest friends. I wish you comfort in your treasured memories.
Hugs to all of you at your time of loss. My thoughts are with all of you.
 I always enjoyed spending time with her. She loved her family and was a devoted grandmother. I will miss seeing her at family events.
Karen has been much on my mind... when she came to the church office to complete her tasks she brightened my day... she also brought cookies and cake! Her work was always timely and accurate. Her departure for the heavenly realm was abrupt and we all know she is now a member of the church triumphant!
Theory: The GTX 480 is a 6 dimensional hypermaterial!

So we know that the GTX 480 is the cause of global warming. And I have just discovered why!

The GTX 480 is made of a 6 dimensional matter, a hypermatter. It exist in all dimensions and in every point of time, it is a part of time just like any physical matter is a part of the three spacial-dimensions. However it was stuck in limbo for millions of years only to very recently temporarilly exist as a physical concept, the GTX 480, it works like a heat pump. It consumes all the heat of another instance of existance, and then releases all of it's heat in another instance. As the 480 does not follow our normal laws of physics, it does not follow time linearilly like we do. The R9 480 is the other instance of it existing in our world, and it is where all the heat came from. All this is real evidence that the R9 480 will be the coldest GPU to date, in fact, it consumes all the heat in it's surrounding air, and will cause the upcoming global cooling that will bring us back to normal levels and let the penguins stay alive.
