Crazy Spam Comments

Spam, Spam, Spam. I love the food Spam grilled on a sandwich with cheese and Mayo but I do not particularly care for the comment Spam.

I receive several bogus comments every week on the blog. Sometimes I receive a dozen or more per day. They always include a link to their "personal" website. The website may be something deeply inappropriate or a site that is phishing for your personal information. There is no way I am going to publish comments with all of that.

Every comment comes to me by email first and I can usually tell by their halting English that it is spam before I even see the link. They will use the wrong word in a sentence and I can tell they are not familiar with English. They say something like, "I really like the information I glanced." (Should be saw) or "You gift me a great insight." (Should be gave).

Other times they are so crazy mixed up that I can not make heads or tails of them. 
Example: 
Definitely consider that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to take into account of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst other folks consider worries that they plainly don't recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as defined out the whole thing without having side effects, folks could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you, Here is my website.
This one came in this week and made me laugh out loud.
An outstanding share! I've just forwarded this onto a friend who was doing a little research on this. And he actually bought me breakfast due to the fact that I stumbled upon it for him... lol. So let me reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this topic here on your web page. Visit my page here.

Wow! I did not know my writing was that good. If people are buying meals for others that send them to my site it sure looks like I ought to be able to make a living at this writing thing. Yeah right!

 Can you see all that I go through for you millions of readers?

Hey, maybe we should have a contest. Let's see who can write the craziest spam comments and still make it onto the blog. How about a new "He Came - The Gospel of Christmas" CD to the craziest comment as decided by the other commenters. OK, all Five million of you battle it out!

IF you link to a suspicious website you do not stand a chance! Lol

I hope you are having a good weekend.

New States Visited and Places to Go!

I mentioned the other day that Courtney traveled to 12 states for the first time while she was with us this summer. I had forgotten that Kelly Jo took pictures of the state signs as we entered.

Indiana


Illinois


Missouri


California


Wisconsin


Minnesota


North Dakota

South Dakota


Iowa


Nebraska


Kansas


Oklahoma

Two of those states were new for our family too. In all of our wondering around out here we had missed Wisconsin and North Dakota. 

Now we have been to both and enjoyed them very much. We saw a lot of beautiful country in Wisconsin and North Dakota and met a bunch of friendly people in each state. I have an acquaintance that used to live in Wisconsin and he told me to drive right through because there was nothing to see. Wow! He should have opened his eyes while he lived there!

We have not visited all of the lower 48 states but now we only lack a few in the Northeast. I need to visit Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine to complete the list. 

Kelly Jo needs to visit the states above plus New Jersey and Odie needs all of them plus New Jersey and New York. Oops! Odie needs to add Michigan too. That is a shame because we have preached two revivals just a few miles from Michigan.

I am sure we will make it up to the Northeast in God's good time. Who knows, maybe next year. I want to eat Italian in Boston, Lobster in Maine and see the beauty of Vermont. I am not sure what the other places are known for but I will find out eventually.

Where have you been and where do you want to go?

First Night of Revival in Claremore, Oklahoma

Revival is off to a good start at Westside Holiness Church in Claremore, Oklahoma. We had a good crowd of home folks and some visitors too. I really appreciate the response in the altar service. There is no telling what God will do in lives when we respond to the preaching in the altar.

Kelly and I ate lunch at Ron's Wednesday. The burgers are not as big at this Ron's by a long shot but they are just as tasty. It was so good today. 

Their menu's have advertisements for local businesses.



We thought this one was pretty funny.



Weight loss seems at odds with the super greasy and cheesy hamburgers but I guess the ad is reaching the target audience. Lol!





We had two sets of special visitors Wednesday. Bro. and Sis. Landress were in church with us and it is always a blessing to have them. Bro. Larry had a copy of the new Bible he is having printed and it is beautiful.



3000 of these Bibles are on the way and the money for them has been raised. He still needs about $2000 for shipping so there is still time to help with the expense if you would like too. This Bible combines the best Spanish translation with a good concordance with a durable cover at only $6.50 per Bible. That is awesome.




The other special visitors drove all the way from Montana! Bro. Nathan and Sis. Leah Jeffreys are on their way to Texas for a wedding and detoured up here so they could be in service with us. It was a great treat to see them especially since they brought their son Seth. He was born a few weeks after we were in Montana last year so it was wonderful to finally meet him!



I knew that they were coming but it was a complete surprise to Kelly Jo and Odie. They came early and visited a few hours before church and we enjoyed it so very much. You may remember them from HERE.



I hope you enjoy the rest of the pictures from the first night of revival. We will have more of the rest of the church folks later in the week. Thank you for praying for us. Please continue to hold us up in prayer.
