Dahlia Torres - Making a difference

Many of you have never had the opportunity to meet the person who completes me.

A recent internet news story tells more of her story.

Post Turtle

This sounds logical to me.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to _(unseemly candidate)_ and his bid to be our President. The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, _(unseemly candidate)_ is a 'post turtle'.' Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'. The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a %$&*@!)( put him up there.'

LEST WE ERR...

Friends,
Because I believe that Christians should uphold righteousness at every opportunity, I want to STRONGLY encourage you to visit Snopes.com to validate any of the politically charged messages that you consider forwarding. It is important that Christians not be perceived as gullible purveyors of information that is NOT TRUTH. I believe it is serious to have to choose our candidates wisely, and I believe that the People of God are going to have a wonderful opportunity to support righteousness. As I read Chris Brook's posting on a Prophetic Word, I am even more convinced that is so. I am attaching the MODIFIED text to accentuate the use of inflammatory rhetoric that many are going to use, but this is not a defense or railing against any candidate at all. Your choice is yours alone, and your convictions must be reflected in your choice. -RMaxT
