Live Beach Cam: Hollywood, Florida

It's too damn hot in Texas, let's go to the beach. Your Head Trucker was here once, many long years ago when you could park your car at the curb.

Frank said...: Not my idea of a pleasant, relaxing beach. Been there once or twice. Too many people. Too many condos. Too many businesses. The water is too warm. The air is too humid. And it’s in Florida. I’ll take Cape Cod any day.; June 30, 2023 at 7:42 PM

Russ Manley said...: Thanks, Davis. We had cloudy weather and a merciful 88 degrees today. Thursday it was 103 and hot AF! That "heat dome" you've heard about is real. We are no strangers to 100+ days down here, but this was something new - and godawful.

Frank - spoken like a true Connecticut Yankee! But you can keep Cape Cod. The water's always freakin' cold, there's too many damn rocks, and you can't eat on the beach! WTF? I'm sticking with beautiful Fla. as my vacation destination.; July 2, 2023 at 3:10 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.
