More Fun with Russ

Gary said...: Looks like you got some cool stuff for Christmas, Russ.

I'm thinking about getting a Roku box so I can stream Netflix movies from the internet to my TV. We watch a lot of movies, so it might be a good thing. I score pretty low on the geek scale, so I need to do some further studying on this!

Hope you have fun with your new toys.; January 8, 2010 at 2:50 AM
Stan said...: I just love your video's Russ. Like I said before I get a real kick out of hearing you talk.
The new laptop is awesome! I wish I could afford a new computer too but for now it will remain on my every growing wish list. Take care and try to keep warm down there. We've got a long way until springtime.; January 8, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Russ Manley said...: Gary - I was thinking about getting that Netflix box . . . but supposedly I can hook the new laptop directly into the new TV and play streaming Netflix movies that way. Not ready to roll on that idea quite yet but I'll let ya know when I do.

Stan - Glad you're enjoying this old shitkicker's vids. You stay warm too.; January 8, 2010 at 12:17 PM
David said...: Yay for a new computer! Still loving the videos here too.; January 8, 2010 at 4:39 PM
Mareczku said...: That is cool, Russ. I can't use laptops too well as I am left-handed and my fine motor skills are negligible. It is cool hearing you talk, I am not used to hearing the Texas accent. Great post.; January 8, 2010 at 5:49 PM
Russ Manley said...: Appreciate ya, guys.

But shucks, the way y'all carry on, almost seems like you ain't never heard reg'lar people talk before.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?

It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.

If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
