Tim said...: #1 has that ‘Boy next Door’ look, very nice...I must be living in the wrong house though!

Express delivery please Russ, and put a deposit down on #1 whilst you’re at it. Ta! ;P; January 4, 2019 at 3:52 PM
Russ Manley said...: Of course, Tim. The BND is winging his way to you even as I type.; January 5, 2019 at 9:35 AM
Davis said...: You know, this thing with Tim living on the Continent means he get the jump on my every time!

I'll have to wait until he's on the West Coast I guess!; January 5, 2019 at 3:11 PM
Russ Manley said...: Oh dear, I never thought about the time zones. Hmm. That does seem to put you at a disadvantage. I wonder what posting time would put you two on an equal footing - ?; January 5, 2019 at 10:12 PM
Davis said...: HaHa - Believe me I'd use it to my advantage! But those eyes... Sigh; January 8, 2019 at 8:31 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.

--Archbishop Desmond Tutu
