She was planning a week&#8217;s vacation in California at Skylake Yosemite campground (Bass Lake, to the uninitiated), but she wanted to make sure of the accommodations first. Uppermost in her mind were bathroom facilities, but she couldn&#8217;t bring herself to write &#8220;toilet&#8221; in a letter. After considerable deliberation, she settled on &#8220;bathroom commode,&#8221; but when she wrote that down, it still sounded too forward, so, after the first page of her letter, she referred to the bathroom commode as &#8220;BC.&#8221; &#8220;Does the cabin where I will be staying have its own &#8216;BC&#8217;? If not, where is the &#8216;BC&#8217; located?&#8221; is what she actually wrote.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The campground owner took the first page of the letter and the lady&#8217;s check and gave it to his secretary. He put the remainder of the letter on the desk of the senior member of his staff without noticing that the staffer would have no way of knowing what &#8220;BC&#8221; meant. Then the owner went off to town to run some errands.<\/p>\n<p>The staff member came in after lunch, found the letter, and was baffled by the euphemism, so he showed the letter around to several counselors, but they couldn&#8217;t decipher it either. The staff member&#8217;s wife, who knew that the lady was the widow of a famous Baptist preacher, was sure that it must be a question about the local Baptist Church. &#8220;Of course,&#8221; the first staffer exclaimed, &#8220;&#8216;BC&#8217; stands for &#8216;Baptist Church.&#8217; &#8221; And he sat down and wrote:<\/p>\n<p>Dear Madam,<\/p>\n<p>I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure in informing you that the BC is located nine miles north of the campground and is capable of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of people take their lunches along and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late.<\/p>\n<p>The last time my wife and I went was six years ago, and it was so crowded we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you to know that right now there is a supper planned to raise money to buy more seats. They are going to hold it in the basement of the &#8216;BC.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos3.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/CSP\/CSP127\/k1277553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"170\" \/>I would like to say that it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly, but it is surely no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort, particularly in cold weather. If you decide to come down to our campground, perhaps I could go with you the first time, sit with you, and introduce you to all the folks. Remember, this is a friendly community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><br \/>\nNO DOGS ALLOWED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/photos3.fotosearch.com\/bthumb\/UNC\/UNC102\/u18474493.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"165\" \/>A man goes into a bar with his dog.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
