Fan Photo from Johnny Paul Jason

Thanks, Johnny, for sending a photo of the town newspaper. Corky explained the incident to me years ago. Corky had traveled back in time to this old abandoned house, just outside of Mayberry, where his great grandparents had once lived. Corky had  bumped into one of the rotten beams and the roof caved in on him leaving him trapped beneath shingles, lumber and an old suitcase that had been in the attic. Deputy Barney Fife had just turned the corner when he heard the crash. When Fife investigated the scene he spotted Corky and pulled him to safety before the rest of the house collapsed. Corky got his suitcase full of old letters and photos and Deputy Fife was declared a hero.

What If #3

What if Rick Warren had written THIS book instead of the other? Would Obama have asked Warren to give the invocation at the presidential inauguration in January 2009? Would John Piper have invited him to be a keynote speaker for the Desiring God Conference 2010? Would Rick have met Larry King? What do YOU think?

Mayberry Wisdom

Barney Fife: Well, today's eight-year-olds are tomorrow's teenagers. I say this calls for action and now. Nip it in the bud. First sign of youngsters going wrong, you've got to nip it in the bud.
Andy Taylor: I'm going to have a talk with them. What else do you want me to do?
Barney Fife: Well, don't just mollycoddle them.
Andy Taylor: I won't.
Barney Fife: Nip it. You go read any book you want on the subject of child discipline and you'll find every one of them is in favor of bud-nipping.
Andy Taylor: Okay, Barn...first thing tomorrow, I will talk to Phyllis Tickle's and Rob Bell's parents.

It's a Scientific Fact!

When the Parachurch Paramecium invades a Sanctaloccocus Episcomoebius with their own brand of curriculum, the Sanctaloccocus Episcomoebius performs a cell division known as "binary fission".

Which indicates that these bacteria are either from Andy Taylor's ears or Opie Taylor's feet. "Binary fission" happens a lot in that part of the country. There are "fission holes" to be seen everywhere. Sometimes in Mayberry there will be signs posted that read, "Gone Fission." Let's just be thankful it wasn't from Otis Campbell or Howard Sprague!

Anyway, to get back to pure science, the division creates two new entities that go their own way. One is the road that leads to destruction. The other is the road to life. This is also referred to in the textbooks as, "Culture Wars". That's a lot like Star Wars, only with one-celled animals hogging the limelight.
