Today's TX Weather

Feels like it, too.

I checked, it's actually warmer in Nome, Alaska, right now.

From my kitchen window. Too goddamn cold to go out in the yard for a pic.

Buildings are caving in and people have snow blowers up on roofs of flat top buildings. We have to go out every day to clear more snow. Even for New England this is crazy.

Russ, your camera won't freeze. And Raulito can just keep those nasty comments to himself!; February 3, 2011 at 6:59 PM
Russ Manley said...: Yeah Frank I saw the pics of you up on the roof shoveling snow, and I say you can keep it. You guys must have electric ball warmers in your shorts, that's just ungodly. But if you like it, more power to you!; February 4, 2011 at 9:38 PM

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.
