Perhaps.. they are better.. left unsung.. sorry but no.. somebody is going to have to sing them.. If you should stand, who should guide you..

cries, no.. well.. we "hopefully" get to beat the snot out of whatever it was, that we were before.. no, no cries. sorry, the Squirrel now is half drunk. go your way, citizens, *hopefully* be warmed, and comforted.. in this sub-zero environment.. Now listening to the Grateful() Dead.. If my words did flow..

this is probably true.. the *big* question is.. where am *I* (be nice. I''m really nothing here.. where will I be next time around..

I wish he lived long enough to listen to some of the same music I'm listening to.. he could play the Mandolin.. thanks friend.. who is David Burger?

God Bless you Wordwolf.. my dad died at 49. No, his life was exemplary. He was not a homosexual.. didn't take drugs.. he liked a *little* alcohol. and tobacco. but otherwise, he was a fairly "clean" individual. He loved God.. the bible.. he was involved in the community.. did what he could to if not change things, make that possible for others.. scary thought. I'm 54.. Whole settlements of the Tallman family failed, because the men just did not live much past fifty.. apparently longevity was not a requirement for the Observers.. well, it might not be much. But we get a capital 'O' somewhere..

and if it makes any difference. the current "harbor" I'm in, has absolutely no bearing on any kind of inner peace I have at the moment.. weird, huh? I remember talking with "kids" my age in the seventies.. maybe more accurate would be "interviewing" them. A few brain damaged individuals, from huffing all kinds of solvents, and other questionable practices, told me EVERYTHING.. why they robbed the local drug store at night.. and were clueless as to why the police would consider it some kind of societal issue.. I can see your reasons, your motivation.. your expectations.. your mind set at the moment.. no, I can't participate. I was sent to.. observe.

I'm still looking for the "safe harbor" definition here. partly with ridicule. sorry, it's me. but I'm willing to hear the defense. You're gonna need it, in my opinion.. "too many".. even just ONE SINGLE sister in the lord, run through the meat grinder.. would be "too many". so what was this "safe harbor"? Who qualified as the inhabitants? What were you "saved" from.. in tangible terms. some claim to be saved from Marijuana.. maybe it was a big deal for them, I dunno. But for me, I think I would prefer the "sickness".. over the "cure".. where, what is the *special* protection.. why didn't it work UNIFORMLY, as promised? safe harbor? there are two qualifications here. 1. It has to actually BE a harbor. 2. It has to be *safe*.. I dunno. In old time.. (and probably modern) harbors were dens of smugglers, opium distributors, and other unsavory characters.. and as in the first post here. "Safe? you've GOT to be kidding.."

Ha! Well.. we had about fourteen inches or more of snow.. My rodent relative could not find a shadow anywhere.. probably because of the massive snow in the region..

my guess is.. they probably didn't really know him, to begin with.. I dunno. Maybe they were not "ministered to" properly..

this was a moron in a trench coat.. he shows up at *where* it is *happening*.. no clue.

ah. Yes. Like Mr. Hammerquist. I "wigged" here once.. some of us will remember it.. I looked the "board" in the face and said.... what was it.. I remember it. this was it.. "I am no less dysfunctional, than you.." what does this have to do with greasespot? Everything.. Paw.. God bless him, made me stand in the corner, for a few days..

believe me, I'm trying. to observe, that is. So, Mr. IAM. you have a kangaroo court of squirrels, ready to pass summary judgement.. do you have any last words here in YOUR defense? and please don't try the mercaptan defense this time around..

I dunno. the vicster was "square". In the old language that is.. yeah.. another reporter in a trench coat.. just another commentator.. another opportunist.. just another moron chasing skirts.. call it what you want.. I really can't figure how anybody can call him GOD.. yeah. Call him God.. quote his words.. praise his name.. it just doesn't "make sense".. sorry. I was sent to observe..

well. a friend of the devil is a friend of mine..

why do *we* even CARE what vp said? and why is it he only "manifested" fruit of da spirit(?) only when he was in front of a damned CAMERA? Just a thought. Despite the turmoil, the confusion, the craziness in this life, somehow.. maybe it's just because I'm nuts. Maybe that's it.. I can live with that.. despite the utter tons of .... I have to deal with.. I can always look at the little bit of light I have and have some peace.. others, and I think da victoid was among them, don't have that luxury.. I disagree. entirely.. *some of us* have the capacity to set our animal instincts aside, for a few moments..

I issue da "speak in (non) tongues challenge". no kidding. Try going.. a week. No tongues. Consciously. Nada.. zilch.. and see if the world goes to hell in a handbasket.. devils run amok.. "sonship" is challenged.. "god" gets ....ed off.. prayers turned down like yesterday's doughnuts.. or cheap stale cheeseburgers..

Wretched? In this life? As good as it gets? Speak for yourself.. that might explain a lot here however..

this semester.. I chose an independent study.. Globally I'm "screwed".. at this point who cares..

so what is "it"? might I say.. neither of my kids are into my old, chosen religion.. past religion, present, or future.. the new religion has a conscience.. it's what is the word.. "involved". wherever, or whatever that is.. service. world service.. if you haven't noticed.. that's where what's the word.. the victoid had a word for the roman catholics.. what was it.. but no, they've reached out to the world. Then there is the other version my other daughter embraced.. as "right wing" or whatever you could label them.. they absolutely CARE whether a pregnant lady in some other part of the world, has a diet with nutritional enough food, and supplements enough to supply enough vitamin A and D in their diet.. that was the best "Christmas card" I could have received.. I don't know if anyone else got one of these.. that they CARED..

the gods have been petitioned.. to declare this day a national holiday.. yes, it happened here. Not one single threatened snowflake graced the ground with its presence.. and the president of the college has declared: a SNOW DAY.. there are no coincidences here.. *ahem*. last year, da president had me drive through about 9 and a half inches of snow.. to impart albegraic wisdom, to those who chose to arrive at da pinnacle of knowledge.. Yeah.. this is a holiday.. what I HAD figured.. I would have been in front of a KIA sephia.. with my little shovel, plowing Michigan route 20 for over twenty miles, to be able to impart algebraic wisdom.. so we went to the store tonight. Have to make sure we have enough stuff.. 1. Kleenex. Yes. we now have two boxes.. 2. Milk. Yes. Check. Now a gallon and a half. A full gallon un-opened. 3. Wine. Absolutely..

So what will it be. My guess, is my fellow rodent will find serious amount of snow, fog, and slush incapable of Him even being able to discern a shadow in the misty haze.. No, it's "miraculous".. somehow, a light from heaven will shine.. and..

maybe the question.. should be, what are you trying to EXCLUDE from the term "sin".. any why? why does *extremely* bad behavior get a "pass"? "well.. it some good, sometimes.." Is that it? No, this is not an interrogation. I'm really trying to understand why it is the way you think.. maybe I'm asking for too much..

I dunno. and your "us".. who is it? It does not necessarily include "me".. who are "they"? see.. if we can define terms.. there will be far less misunderstanding here.. Isn't that what you care for?

no, I was simply trying to understand what you were including here. what are you trying to include in the terms of "sin"? how are you trying to define the word "man" in this verse? these questions are just starters..

lets try a "literal translation according to usage" here. My little children, these things write I unto you that ye sin not, and if any man (who speaks da tongues. Lo shanta..) sin (that is, rape, pillage, bully God's people perpetually, not to mention drowning himself in Drambuie) we have an advocate (court appointed attourney. He really doesn't want the job, but what the heck..) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous Is this what you are trying to say?
