Waitin' for the Weekend

Tim said...: I’m torn between the youth of #1 and the fur of #2 . . . so #4 is the perfect compromise, and it looks like he’s ready to give me a lift. ;P; March 22, 2019 at 3:26 PM
Russ Manley said...: An excellent choice - and free door-to-door service is included.; March 22, 2019 at 4:18 PM
Frank said...: I want to know what #1 is thinking..."It's so lonely when you're beautiful." or "Sorry, I'm saving myself for someone who looks like me." or "You hurt my feelings when you pointed out that flaw on my big toe." or "Don't you just love my pouty lips?"; March 22, 2019 at 6:24 PM
Russ Manley said...: I'll send him over on approval, so you can ask him yourself.; March 23, 2019 at 12:14 AM
Davis said...: Good grief - I'm swooning but Tim's reject #1 has those bedroom eyes I'm so keen on... Alas I'm too late and will have to make do with sloppy seconds.; March 23, 2019 at 4:39 PM
Russ Manley said...: If Frank sends him back, I'll shunt #1 over to you ASAP. No extra charge for re-packaging.; March 23, 2019 at 6:20 PM
Davis said...: That's a big IF - but hope springs eternal...; March 25, 2019 at 4:05 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.
