IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

10.12.07

When we admit that our lives have become unmanageable, we don't have to argue our point of view... We no longer have to be right all the time. ~NA Basic Text
Today I am grateful...
  • that I am not usually all that surprised at people's behavior, but dense, hate spewing creatures like Ann Coulter continue to catch me off guard
  • that I cannot for the life of me figure out why there are people that believe that I do not have the right to love another man
  • that we are having glorious weather for Pammie's weekend retreat
  • that God has blessed me with a lot of different talents
  • that today I can strive to bring kindness and laughter into the world
  • that you have a Happy Friday!

When we speak or act hastily or rashly, the ability to be fair-minded and tolerant evaporates on the spot. ~12 & 12

Being fair-minded and tolerant is a goal toward which I must work daily. I ask God, as I understand Him, to help me to be loving and tolerant to my loved ones, and to those with whom I am in close contact. I ask for guidance to curb my speech when I am agitated, and I take a moment to reflect on the emotional upheaval my words may cause, not only to someone else, but also to myself. Prayer, meditation and inventories are the key to sound thinking and positive action for me. ~Daily Reflections

Rarely have I seen someone so full of themself as Ann Coulter seems to be. It must be hell being her -- she shuts the door on most of her options in life. Much as I did when I was drinking.
Ta, for the reminder.

Its ok to love another man.But to have sex.This is different.All the other animals have god willed into them.They have sex for repoduction purposes.For man.There are two purposes.Love and repoduction.The power that turns the seasons and turns apple blossoms into apples.Never has an apple blossom turned into a orange.God Bless

I think Ann Coulter is a man. Did you ever see a woman with such a large adam's apple? Really

Gosh! I wish Anonymous had been around my neighborhood when I was little. My girl-dog, Pebbles, used to hump both girl AND boy dogs. It could be so embarrassing. Someone really should have "straightened her out." Oh, wait...Anon is talking about rePODuction. Sorry, my mistake. My compliments, though, on creative spelling and syntax.
