He was 71. <br /><br />Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours. <br /><br />Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions. <br /><br />Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.<br /><br />The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372782544174258436.post-69938578022274253702008-05-05T14:55:00.001-04:002008-05-05T14:57:28.018-04:00No Youth Group This WeekHey all,<br /><br />There will not be youth group this week... sorry...

As she was travelling down one of our high speed roads Her car hit the curb and guard rail and flipped her car on to its roof. As the roof crushed the windshield exploded throwing glass into Nikki's face. She skidded on the roof into the oncoming lane and was hit by another car.<br /><br />The fire brigade arrived on the scene equipped to cut the occupants from the car. When they look inside they could not see anyone. Nikki had already climbed out of the window and was standing next to the car belonging to the people who hit her after her car flipped. The people said they had just arrived from Canada and were driving slow getting used to the roads. When they hit her car the impact was barely noticed.<br /><br />We praise God for the way he protected Nikki. It seems like whenever we step out in Faith to serve God as Nikki is Satan comes after us to discourage or try to prevent us from being used by God.<br /><br />Although the crash was so terrible there were no cuts or marks on Nikki's face where she was pelted by the broken glass. The only injuries she sustained were a few scrapes on her hand and a little soreness today. Our God is Mighty and we thank and praise Him for protecting Nikki.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2781041&id=616130550" target="_blank"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194069671030694866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ix8mJeVayAA/SBUK2LBqI9I/AAAAAAAAALU/KY6wvGI3Wnc/s400/Nikki+Car+Pic.jpg" border="0" /></atomicelement><br />Nikki's car is the one laying on its roof. </:ATOMICELEMENT><br /><br />Please Join me in thanking God for His hand of protection. </:ATOMICELEMENT><br /><br />Pastor Bob<a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2781041&id=616130550" target="_blank"></a></:ATOMICELEMENT>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372782544174258436.post-6061630323806664642008-04-08T08:05:00.002-04:002008-04-08T08:12:48.632-04:00TRY THIS!<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><em>Read this first, then click on the picture below.</em> </span></div><br />If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink. If you stare at the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky! It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRIJJPnkHyw/R_tgvhhrTLI/AAAAAAAABAg/f6pU9dkcPw0/s1600-h/image.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186845765416996018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRIJJPnkHyw/R_tgvhhrTLI/AAAAAAAABAg/f6pU9dkcPw0/s400/image.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iRIJJPnkHyw/R_tfvxhrTKI/AAAAAAAABAY/16uQczMfecE/s1600-h/noname.gif"></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372782544174258436.post-40677514359868830172008-03-26T01:02:00.002-04:002008-03-26T01:09:43.785-04:00Hero Video!<p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxfzkMbM83VMEOAY2trmlXuzBh-xMBOn7EaeDOPWpskiN6_WwAj5v2rcRD9GWKla2aYrSCTNpK_MhMXy4bktw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>Here's a sneak peak!

As many people have been affected with death in the last few weeks, both in the church family, and with friends. Mr. Pat gave out a list of bible verses that he got from a nurse at the hospital from when Mrs. Laine was in the hospital. I thought that some of them were really cool. And I am going to try to put up a verse or two a week. This first verse comes from Jude 1:21. It says "Keeps yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life." So God has a plan for all of you and he is just waiting to pull you up into heaven to live with him for eternity. In Jeremiah 29:11 it says "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." God knows exactly what will happen to you in your lifetime, however he uses you for other people. Mr. Pat also gave us a short poem called Come With Me.<br />God saw she was getting tired,<br />and a cure was not to be;<br />So he put His arms around her, and<br />whispered, "Come with me."<br />With tearful eyes we watched her<br />suffer, and saw her fade away;<br />Although we loved her dearly, we could<br />not make her stay.<br />A golden heart stopped beating, hard<br />working hands to rest;<br />God broke our hearts to prove to us,<br />He only takes the best!<br /><br />So just a little bit of encouragement for all of you out there that have lost someone you carried deeply for, remember they are with God and one day you will see them again.<br /><br />Love always,<br />Heather ababygurlperfecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718357333312754597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372782544174258436.post-46750592118482136682008-02-21T11:04:00.001-05:002008-02-21T11:04:38.953-05:00Baby Prank<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/brnK1zKh4JU' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/brnK1zKh4JU'/></object></p><p>Ben said we hadn't posted anything in awhile... so here you go!

He was born to parents who were addicted to drugs and fed him drugs as well. The first two years of his life were a living hell. He was abused and neglected by his natural parents to the point where social services had to take him from them. He was put into foster care with David and Janet James who also legally adopted him. They loved him so much and did everything to try and make his life better, and it was.</span></span></div><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br />However, as most of you know, David and Janet are atheists. There was no way for Brandon to ever here about Jesus at home. This is the case with most of the children in Wales. Brandon came to love God through myself and other Christian ministers being allowed to teach about God in the local schools. When Brandon became ill he asked to see Pastor Bob. God placed me in that school and then in Brandon's life to share His love with Brandon. Because of God's love Brandon is now with Him for eternity.</div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br />The reason I said all of that is to ask you to join me and others in prayer. I met with a group that God started in another valley about 40 miles from here. They have a rather extensive network of young people from all over the world who have joined together to work in the schools of that valley. They use sports and music to reach the children. They assist the teachers, work in the play grounds and build solid relationships with children and teachers alike.</div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br />Unlike the USA, the Christian message is still allowed to be taught in our schools in Wales. The generation between 15 and 45 have been almost completely lost and without God in these valleys. The culture and the mindset of the adults is totally against God. The only group that is still reachable are the children.<br />This is a God sized task. This is not something that I can do alone. Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Mk 10:27</div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br />I would ask if you would please pray with me in this matter. Ask your friends and prayer partners to join with you and pass the request on to others they know. I feel so strongly about this. I have no doubt that this is from God. Please pray that God will provide the workers to go full time into the schools with the gospel message. Pray that God will provide the training for these workers. Pray that God may show you your part in this. Pray that God will raise up young athletes to inspire the children for God.</div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br />If you are willing to join me in prayer for "Brandon's Brigade" please email me so I can be sure to keep you updated. Only God knows how long the schools will be open for this type of ministry.<br /></div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In Christ's love and service,<br />Bob<br /><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:revbuchanan@btinternet.com" target="_blank">revbuchanan@btinternet.com</a></span></span></div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"></span></span></div><div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br /></div></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
