Tim said...: Hmm, another tough decision Russ....#4 is nicely furred, but after careful consideration, I’ll go for youthful #2. I’ll supply the experience and he can provide the endurance. Well, it’s a plan. ;P; April 27, 2018 at 6:08 PM
Russ Manley said...: Righto, our selection department thought you might fancy that one. Air or ground delivery?; April 28, 2018 at 8:05 AM
Tim said...: He seems to like the sun and the sand. Tell him to bring his wetsuit and surfboard and ship him over by sea.; April 28, 2018 at 9:53 AM
Davis said...: #1 is right up my street - but no need to ship - I'll crawl all the way...; April 28, 2018 at 10:38 AM
Russ Manley said...: Tim - Sea shipment it is, then. The stevedores are loading him aboard ship as I write.

Davis - Great, I'll hold him in the Takeout pen until you call for him. You want fries with that order?; April 28, 2018 at 11:29 AM

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.
