Yesterday when my mother took this photograph I assumed myself to be the one on the North side of the fence.  As I review it, I am not actually sure which one the ass is.
lol
But I guess I would like to be the person who can usually answer that.

A world where our daily bread is given in enough measure that we can each add a touch of creativity, thankfulness and praise; and a world where we are forgiven for our imperfections in the measure that we extend grace and mercy and charity to others.

Hey, I'm not making this stuff up!

The perfect T-shirt slogan.
I have always liked:  Everyone is Entitled to My Opinion. 
And: Jesus Loves You.  But I Am His Favourite

So today I have designed and painted two new T-shirts.
The first:  The Blue Box is the Opiate of the Masses, written in small letters on the front with a recycling symbol on the back surrounded by the words:  Environmentalism is the sigh of the opressed creature.  It is the opium of the people.  K.M. 1843

The second says:  Greener Than Thou, on the back and has a painting of a leaf and the label of the plant, Toxicodendron radicans. hahahaha

Why I Am An Atheist

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 by ruth : batchewana ruth
"Moore says, 'Down here, we all believe in God, guts and guns.' "  

Which reminds me why I am an atheist. OK, so I suspect that I am not reallly an atheist.  For instance: I had a nice chat with Jesus this morning. He said "Blessed are the meek" and mentionned a bit about peace and sacrifice.  Silly me, but I used to always sort of associate my friend Jesus with God.  But over the past few years it seems when people talk about God they are talking about some WarLordGuy I am not acquainted with.  So I have to admit to people with BibleBeltTheology, when they ask "do you believe in God" that I am completely unknowing of their God, let alone believe in Him.  I have learned to admit "No Sir!  Not on your life Sir! I am an atheist Sir! ".   
I believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth  :)    ________________________________________________________________________________________________   1 hour, 54 minutes ago By The Associated Press

 BUTLER, Missouri - Salesmen at a Missouri car dealership are not just kicking in a free CD player or air conditioner. They are offering a free handgun with every purchase.   Through the end of the month, car buyers at Max Motors in Butler will have a choice - $250 toward either a gun purchase or gasoline.   General manager Walter Moore says that so far, most buyers have chosen the gun, adding that he suggests they opt for a semiautomatic model "because it holds more rounds."

In the fine print, the ad on the website explains, "Check written toward purchase price" and also mentions, "Approved Background Check REQUIRED. "  Moore says he suspects his "Free Handgun" ad will draw protests in some places. But not in Butler, about 100 kilometres south of Kansas City.


Moore says, "Down here, we all believe in God, guts and guns."
