Today's Chuckle: Slinky Squirrel

Frank said...: We have a ground squirrel or a family that have been in residence for a couple of years; they eat my green tomatoes and other assorted veggies, tear up the cushions on the deck furniture and generally make a nuisance of themselves. I bought the "Squirrelinator" a humane trap guaranteed to catch multiple squirrels in a few hours. They have not gone near the trap. I'll give it another month. Then lets see if the guarantee is worth anything. A slinky won't solve the problem.; March 19, 2021 at 4:43 PM

Then I gave up, and just put birdseed in the hanging feeder for the birds, and more in a tray on the ground for the squirrels, who are smarter than we are. Why fight it?; March 19, 2021 at 4:51 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.
