"YOU THOUGHT REDNECKS WERE ONLY IN THE SOUTH

A TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION
REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT .

A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly payments
of $560.00).

He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin. It's mid-winter; and
of course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the ice
with their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR.

They decide they want to make a natural looking open water area for the
ducks to focus on, something for the decoys to float on.

Now making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck, is
going to take a little more power than the average drill auger can produce.

So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with
a short 40 second-fuse. Now our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might
slip on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse (and
becoming toast, along with the Navigator), decide on the following course of action: they light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible

Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the NAVIGATOR,
the GUNS, and the DOG..???

Let's talk about the dog: A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING;especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it: the dog takes off across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse, just as it hits the ice.

The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in
their necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at
the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps
coming.

One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is
loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog
stops for a moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog takes off to find cover, UNDER the brand new Navigator.

The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the
truck touches the dog's rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the
truck and takes off after his master.


Then " "" "" "" "" " BOOOOOOOOOOOOM "" "" "" "" "" ! ! ! !

The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake, leaving
the two idiots standing there with "I can't believe this just happened"
looks on their faces.

The insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal
use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy. And he still had yet
to make the first of those $560.00 a month payments.

The dog is okay. . .doing fine.


And you thought Rednecks only lived in the South.......

GOD IS IN CONTROL

I recieved this email and I just wanted to share it with everyone. It is Powerful!!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks, John for sharing it with me.


A man from Norfolk, VA called a local radio station to share this on Sept 11th, 2003. His Name was Robert Matthews.

These are his words:


"A few weeks before Sept.11th, my wife and I found out we were going to have our first child. She planned a trip out to California to visit her sister. On our way to the airport, we prayed that God would grant my wife a safe trip and be with her.
Shortly after I said 'amen,' we both heard a loud pop and the car shook violently. We had blown out a tire. I replaced the tire as quickly as I could, but we still missed her flight. Both very upset, we drove home.
I received a call from my father who was retired NYFD. He asked what my wife's flight number was, but I explained that we missed the flight. My father informed me that her flight was the one that crashed into the southern tower. I was too shocked to speak. My father also had more news for me; he was going to help. 'This is not something I can't just sit by for I have to do something.' I was concerned for his safety, of course, but more because he had never given his life to Christ. After a brief debate, I knew his mind was made up.
Before he got off of the phone, he said, 'take good care of my grandchild.' Those were the last words I ever heard my father say; he died while helping in the rescue effort.
My joy that my prayer of safety for my wife had been answered quickly became anger. I was angry at God, at my father, and at myself. I had gone for nearly two years blaming God for taking my father away. My son would never know his grandfather, my father had never accepted Christ, and I never go t to say good-bye.
Then something happened. About two months ago, I was sitting at home with my wife and my son, when there was a knock on the door. I looked at my wife, but I could tell she wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door to a couple with a small child. The man looked at me and asked if my father's name was Jake Matthews. I told him it was. He quickly grabbed my hand and said, 'I never got the chance to meet your father, but it is an honor to meet his son.' He explained to me that his wife had worked in the World Trade Center and had been caught inside after the attack. She was pregnant and had been caught under debris. He then explained that my father had been the one to find his wife and free her.
My eyes welled up with tears as I thought of my father giving his life for people like this. He then said, 'there is something else you need to know.' His wife then told me that as my father worked to free her, she talked to him and led him to Christ.
I began sobbing at the news. Now I know that when I get to heaven, my father will be standing beside Jesus to welcome me, and that this family would be able to thank him themselves.
When their baby boy was born, they named him Jacob Matthew in honor of the man who gave his life so that mother and baby could live."
This story should help us to realize two things: First - that though it has been Four years since the attacks, we should never let it become a mere tragic memory. And second - but most important - God is always in control.
We may not see the reason behind things, and we may never know this side of heaven, but God is ALWAYS in control.
Please take time to share this amazing story with those you love. You may never know the impact it may have on someone. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

Scott A Larsen Remembering 9/11

REMEMBERING SCOTT A LARSEN
WORLD TRADE CENTER 9/11





Scott was 35 years old, and a firefighter from a firehouse near the South Street Seaport, Ladder 15(Rotation) and Ladder 163(assigned). On 9/11 he and 13 other firefighters assigned to that house died. This is to pay tribute to a wonderful man.
He was a Husband, Father and a dear friend. Everyone liked him, he was easy to get along with. He loved Disney World.


When Scott A. Larsen finished a shift at the firehouse — "He was very good with the tools; he fit right into the place," said Brian Cleary, his friend from Ladder Company 163 — off he'd go in pursuit of more activity, usually with his three children. He outfitted them with Rollerblades, and got them onto their bicycles on summer days. He could spend an entire day at the beach, then fix dinner on the grill. During the midwinter school break, he packed everyone into the car and drove from their home in Glendale, Queens, to Disney World, stopping to spend the night in North Carolina, to buy sparklers in South Carolina, to sample as many Dairy Queens as possible below the Mason-Dixon line.

It meant 12 hours of driving at a stretch, but he loved it. On arrival, Firefighter Larsen, who was 35, headed for Space Mountain, where he usually rode solo. "He'd try to convince the kids to go on it," said his wife, Carolann. "Once he bribed them with a stuffed animal. They came off scared like anything."

His wife, Carolann was pregnant at the time of 9/11. Two days later September 13 she gave birth to another son. She named him "August" after her husband's father, the name Scott wanted. The other children are Marisa, 9; Brenda, 8; and Scott, 5.


Here is one of the entries of his guest book to his family:


December 26, 2001
We thank Scott for dedicating his life to helping others as a firefighter. Such dedication comes with a heart full of warmth, caring and love for his fellow man. May his courage, kindness, life and love live on through those who love him and those who have been touched by his life. We are deeply sorry for your loss of Scott. Our hearts cry with you.
America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you.
Teresa Jahn (Dixon, IL )

There is also a Fireman's Prayer I would like to share with you:

A Fire Fighter's Prayer

When I'm called to duty, God
wherever flames may rage.
Grant me the strength to save a life
whatever be its age.

Help me to embrace a little child
before it is too late.
Or save an older person
from the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
to hear the weakest shout.
And quickly and efficiently
put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling, Lord
and give the best in me.
To guard my every neighbor and
protect his property.

And if according to your will
I am to lose my life.
God bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

This article is about a Firetruck that is being redone in honor of our fallen firefighters.


Restored Fire Truck Honors Firefighter Who Started It
By Amanda Farinacci

The appropriately named Engine 911, which was unveiled at the South Street Seaport Sunday, is a restored 1962 Ford F-600 fire truck that started with the dream of fallen firefighter Eric Olsen.

Olsen is one of fourteen firefighters from Engine 4, Ladder 15 who died in the World Trade Center attack. A self-proclaimed car buff, Olsen purchased the then badly beat-up truck, and planned to use it while working his side-jobs.

“He would park the truck in the parking lot,” recalled fellow firefighter Steve Fucile, “and there's a homeless guy who's probably been across the street as long as I’ve been in this firehouse, and he started using this as his house. So every morning Eric would go across the street, start the truck, wake him up. He'd take his stuff out, and Eric would go to work. And this was just an ongoing thing. If he thinks he's sleeping in this thing now, the rent's gone up.”

In a restoration project that began in October 2002, firefighters from the Milford Township Fire Department in Pennsylvania took on the task of fixing up the truck. They added new compartments, welded new steel and painstakingly hand-painted every word on the old rig.

On the back is a bell of remembrance in honor of the six fallen firefighters who were members of the FDNY Viking Society. The truck is meant to educate about fire safety and to tell the story of the September 11 attacks.

“Time is passing so quickly and people are forgetting,” said Larry Roeder, one of the Milford firefighters. “And it's important to put together tributes like this and bring them back in time to give people a reason to remember, to give people a reason not to forget.”

“It's a really great thing that they did,” said Carolann Larsen, whose husband died in the attacks. “It's a nice remembrance for all of them to have their names on it; i think it's great.

The truck will make its temporary home at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island, with the hope that it will one day go on display at the Fire Safety Museum.
