Tim said...: I extended an olive branch last week only to be penalised this. Have the politics of the White House now reached the South?; September 14, 2018 at 4:20 PM
Russ Manley said...: Nothing of the kind. Davis did not accept your offer, generous though it was, so in accordance with generally accepted diplomatic procedure (cf. UN Resolution 53-2984, c. 17a-g) I am merely attempting to facilitate a mutually acceptable resolution of grievances.

If that doesn't work, I may have to issue ration cards.; September 14, 2018 at 6:10 PM
Davis said...: Oh Russ, you're far too generous and the pickins are especially good this weekend. I'll aim for #1 in the hopes that Tim might find someone special in the remaining fellas.; September 15, 2018 at 3:37 PM
Russ Manley said...: Ah, now that's the spirit. See how smoothly things go when we are all animated by a spirit of brotherhood, like the UN Charter says? We can be an example to the world here. Davis, your shipment will be winging his way to you on the very next flight.

Now Tim, may I take your order?; September 15, 2018 at 4:08 PM
Tim said...: Cuddly #5 please Bubba.....dat ass!; September 16, 2018 at 4:16 AM
Russ Manley said...: An excellent choice. I'm wrapping him for shipment now, along with a complimentary bar of soap.; September 16, 2018 at 11:56 AM
Frank said...: Number three looks beefy and it looks like he’s still available. I’m here with my hubby in Provincetown so haven’t been checking in with the blogs very often. No excitement on this end as we are not out partying but doing a lot of relaxing beach time. I’ll have to post some pics soon.; September 17, 2018 at 6:20 PM
Russ Manley said...: Glad you're enjoying P-town. Your order will be shipping this afternoon, along with a complimentary beach towel.; September 18, 2018 at 12:36 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.
