doojable

Ok well it's still not a good analogy...... It's comparing apples to oranges.....

I took Piffle in Feb "78 and entered the corp after ROA '79. I didn't have time to make it into any cliques or even to make any real enemies. One day, about 3 months after that first class I was on a crew for a class. (Yes! You guessed it folks. I was in charge of REFRESHMENTS! LOL) Anyway, someone told me that if I really wanted to let the "Christ in me shine" then I needed to go into the corps. From that point on I was on that road that led to Emporia and the stench of the meatpacking plant. I often wondered why TWI didn't make some sort of stink (pun intended) about how many spirits lived in that town and how oppressive the smell of death in the air was. Now I wonder if the leadership was even bothered by it at all......maybe it was like the smell of home to them.

All I can think of is Dumb and Dumber But that was done recently....

Just a set of random musings... I continually see CES in two parts. There is the leadership - those that knew or should have known better. The guys that "knew the job was dangerous when they took it." These folks got their reward, be it good or bad. Then there are "the followers." I really even hate using this term - but I can't find any others at the time. These folks run the gamut - some drank all the kool-aide, glady - other's sipped it and spit it out as soon as it touched their tongues. I'll venture to say that most of the folks in this second were just looking for a way to serve God. The seeds of their distrust for anything other than the TWI model was bred in them by the parent cult. We can point fingers and say, "How come you didn't see this coming?" I'm not of a mind to do that though. The worst part of Christianity is the religion that rides on its coat tails. Perhaps that is the real lesson for us all - beware the need to control God and others. Perhaps we try too hard to put God in a box when all that is needed is a willing heart.

Eggplant Parmigiana 2 or 3 large eggplant , peeled and in sliced 1/4" 3 or 4 eggs, beaten Bread Crumbs (Italian preferred) Olive Oil (I only use Extra Virgin) Marinara sauce (see below) Mozzarella, grated Parmigiana Cheese - the kind you grate and not the fake stuff in the bottle with the green lid Soak the eggplant in lightly salted water for 1/2 hour. This helps to make it less bitter and also keeps the eggplant from getting too greasy when it is browned. Dry off slices and dip in egg and breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet and brown slices on both sides, place on paper towels to drain. Layer eggplant, mozzarella, and parmigiana with the marinara sauce - as you would Lasagna. Bake at 350F for one hour, covered. Uncover and bake one 10 min more. Marinara Sauce I have a lot of recipes for this - this is the easiest to make for occasions like this... 1 large can Crushed tomatoes 1 sm can tomato paste water 1 onion, chopped 4-6 cloves of garlic, basil, celery seed, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper Saute the onion and garlic in a heavy saucepan. Add tomatoes, paste and at least 1/2 can of water (it depends on how thick you like it.) Add the herbs and seasonings. Simmer for 45 min. A word about tomato sauce: Don't cook it over high heat for hours - it brings out the acidity of the tomatoes. Lots of folks think its necessary to add sugar to tomato sauce - that's because they are trying to mask this acidity. If you just simmer the sauce for no more than 2 hours it will be fine. The idea that sauce has to cook all day comes from Satan.

I was always a fan of George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television."

Really and truly, this probably got so many responses because we forget that God doesn't ask us to be super-Bible Geeks. If you look in the Bible and really read it - lot of folks were "one hit wonders." They did that one thing for God that made enough of a difference to make it into the Bible and then were on their way living their lives. It's great to be a "repeat offender" (LOL) when it comes to making a difference but I don't see that God requires it. I'm just concentrating on doing the NEXT RIGHT THING. Besides, who's to say that the person that does a major research work, and teaches it, has done more than the person that makes their home safe and lives peaceably with his or her neighbor?

Hmmmm - so many comments, so little time........

hear/Listen Oar Tivo/Logo run/jog Flip/ locks/ dreads HUH?

HEY! Wasn't this from one of our classes to prepare us for LightBearers?

So as we all Listen to Quadrophenia and stay on our knees - the enlightenment will rain down upon us.... Now this is getting interesting....!

T-Bone -It goes like this: when you're spiritual inner ear get infected you get spiritual virtigo and then you're spiritual equilibrium is off. Then you get spiritually dizzy and you fall...... Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght....see the way to get someone to swallow some of this garbage is to make an analogy where there really is no analogy and add the work 'spiritual' to any other word that sounds good. Voila! Now you have a one-liner that everyone will quote and you'll look oh so spiritual.

Sushi, is that like 'Great googly moogly?"

Say Groucho - got any other interesting positions?????? Oh Holy prophet! Speak to us and tell us what to do next. We await word on what we should be dreaming. If we sip from the holy fount will it all be clear? And will window pane help us to attain nirvana?

One little boy once told his teacher he knew God's real name. When asked what that could be the answer was "Harold" "Harold? How did you come up with that?" "Every Sunday we say the prayer - Our Father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name..."

Was this a Board meeting or a BORED MEETING?

Wait! We need to hear the prophecies of the Great Mother Ship first. Is this that which was promised - or should we wait for another?

JOE! PM me! I was in Gunnison for six weeks and worked with Kathy! I've been thinking about you two a lot!

Satori - you may be the prophet and the interpreter of dreams - but the Right (Left?) Reverend Groucho has the bus and the Kool-aide errrr cheesecake!

NEVER underestimate what it does for God to raise children, live a life honestly, and care for people with compassion. Remember the widow's mite? God looks at the heart. Therefore, I'm not going to stand judgement before anyone looking at my works.

Hey! I'm not the one with the stash.

I'm buying the first round! Set up the Drambuie and keep it coming! Or does the Right Rev Groucho have a different brew in his cup on the pulpit? And is that a breath mint or an LSD tab??? Oh man! That Holy Spurt dove is flying, Dude!

Let this be a day of independence for all the GWOTHs and their decendants... If any....

I wanna be the kool-aide - ummmm kitchen coordinator! I can spike the cheesecake!
