If I tell you nothing but facts how can I be opinionated? If I am still searching for the meaning of life how can I be a know it all?

| Yes It has been a while since I have posted. Life has been full of activities and changes. If you would like to see what I have been up to go to www.myspace.com/sheffieldchurchofgod and click on videos. While your there drop me a line or ask to be my friend. My post there will normally be more serious in nature. Of course If i choose to revert back to Harlequin I have Xanga. Another place to look at is www.myspace.com/throwall3 . Currently I have dedicated the front page to our young men and women in the service. I even have scrolling text that simply says, "Do you support the troops? Then let them win!."
Well that is all for now but I would like to leave you with another Vicism. A few weeks ago we were leaving burger king with Izzy and a friend of hers. As kids are likely to do they started to run out into the parking lot. The next thing I knew Vicki yelled "You better get back here before you get ran over. You will be flatter than dead!"
Yes she said flatter than dead! Just to make sure I did not type it out wrong, "Flatter than dead!" I looked at her across the car and ask, "Did you just say flatter than dead!"
The scary thing is the two little skulls of mush knew what she was saying. Oh Well, Life goes on!
Hope to see you at myspace,
Todd Helms

Harlequins 12 simple facts of life.
12: Committee: A group of the unfit, appointed by the unwilling, to do the unnecessary.
11: Multimedia? As far as I am concerned, it's reading with the radio on.
10: It is no accident that stressed spelled backwards is desserts.
09: If at first you succeed, try to hide your astonishment.
08: It is better to light one candle than to clean the whole house.
07: I am not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.
06: You have the right to remain silent. Please consider it.
05: The three R's of the internal revenue service: This is ours; that is ours; everything is ours.
04: Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
03: I'm not a fatalist. But even if I were, what could I do about it?
02: Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
Finally the number one fact of life......
01: You know you have the perfect marriage when find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

| Democrat, Republican or Southerner?
Are You a Democrat, Republican, or Southerner?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by your response to the following situation:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and your two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock 40-Cal. and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
*********************************************************************
Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor? Or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
What do the European courts say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few a days and try to come to a consensus.
******************************************************************
Republican's Answer:
BANG!
******************************************************************
Southerner's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
click.....
(sounds of reloading).
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click
Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?"
Son: "Can I shoot the next one?"
Wife: "You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!"

| As I sit at a slot machine or perhaps even a poker table at Harrah's in Las Vegas, Vicki informs me politely but insistently it is time to leave the gaming floor and catch a show. Relunctantly, I get up and then hand in hand together we take a stroll down the strip to The Venetian and its Blue Man Theater. We find our seats which are comfortable, theater type carpet, fancy walls and the hundereds of other people patiently waiting for the start of the show. The show soon begins and The Blue Man Group starts their performance. Together we are entertained with a performance that appeals to a variety of our senses such as sight, hearing and vibrations. The performance meets all expectations after all it is performed in a multi-million dollar theater, created by a huge production company and supported by The Venetian Casino. We clap after each number is performed. We give a standing ovation when they are finished and then we return to the Las Vegas Strip. We continue to enjoy our vacation and perhaps even talk about the show we just watched. We have a memory to share and a little more money because we didn't spend the last hour or so gambling.
As I sit working on my laptop, Vicki informs me, politely but insistently, it is time to leave for a Methodist church in Milan, Ohio. We arrive at the stone block church and we are told tonight's service will be in the basement. As we sit down on metal chairs, the type that are folded up when not in use, we look around and notice the windows are covered over with cardboard, the floor is tile, the walls are basic paneling and there are probably less than 90 people there. The service begins and Quietlove begins. We are ministered to with a performance that appeals to our sight, hearing and emotions. The ministry exceeds expectations, after all, the people that are ministering to us sacrifice their time, efforts and own money to bring the gospel to people and simply trust God to meet their needs through love offerings. We clap after each number is performed. We quietly stand in prayer and reverence as the service comes to an end but now something is different.
Throughout the service, we felt different emotions. Perhaps we wanted to sing or maybe we wanted to cry. At times we wanted to stand up and shout (we didn't because it was a Methodist church) or maybe, simply put our face in our hands and pray. We all wanted a closer walk with God and to experience His touch. At least two individuals came forward to a make-shift altar that consisted of black lights sitting on the floor and committed their lives to say, Yes. We all had to leave, eventually, but we left with much more than a memory. We left having drawn closer to our Lord.
Well, I said all that to say the following. Last Sunday I saw Quietlove for the first and hopefully not the last time. Also, I had the opportunity to meet Chelsey and her parents for the first and hopefully, not the last time. It was an honor and pleasure to meet them as weel as the rest of the group.
Now some extra tidbits. No, I have not seen the blue man group in person. However, I have seen numerous Vegas style shows at teh casinos, so I am confident that my description of the show would be fairly accurate. Unfortunately to my regret, I can't describe how wonderful and how full of impact Quietlove's ministry style was and is (I can't even write a grammatically correct sentence.)
All of you loyal readers to Harlequin should be ashamed of yourselves. It took Quietlove and meeting Chelsey to get me to post. Where is all the controversy to inspire writing? Where are the Vicism's? Where is Yuckabuck? (Ouch!!!! Did I just demote Yuckabuck to third place listing?)
