Tim said...: Way to go Frank! :P

I think I’ll go down to the woods today, and catch #1 whilst he’s hibernating. Usual T&C, or is this a Black Friday special Russ?; November 29, 2019 at 1:58 PM
Russ Manley said...: Frank - Lucky you.

Tim - We do not like the term Black Friday, but shipping fees are waived on early holiday orders such as yours. The R&E desk will be open from Dec. 26th.; November 30, 2019 at 2:09 AM
Davis said...: I'll have to wait until Tim has deflowered #1... I can be very patient.; November 30, 2019 at 12:28 PM
ChipSF said...: I think there is going to be a fight for # 1. A shoot-out, if you will....; November 30, 2019 at 9:01 PM
Russ Manley said...: Be careful where you point that thing. We'll put you on the waiting list for #1.; December 1, 2019 at 4:42 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.

--Archbishop Desmond Tutu
