De nada, amigo. Many thanks.  | ||

1  Just a test run on a new scan to memory stick. Hmm. Offhand, I'd say this is somewhere in a cold climate during winter, by the clothes (beaver hat) and the length of shadows in the background. Okay, it's Tanana, Alaska, on the Yukon where the Tanana River dumps into it. Several churches in a town of 450, with a sewer and water system built for 4500. Two Belgian nuns were banished from a school in St. Mary as they were too liberal. In summer, I'd get some fresh king salmon and cook them dinner, serve them beer (good beer for good Belgians). The ruff on my anorak is half wolverine, half wolf, neither of which freeze up in below zero temperatures like synthetics. God lived just outside of town. | ||

It was time for an elderly gentleman to be put into a nursing home, as his grown children could no longer care for him. After a week, the children went to visit their father at the nursing home. During the visit, the father leaned to the right, and a nurse quickly came over and propped him up with a pillow. A little while later, he leaned to the left, and again a nurse came and propped him up with another pillow. The man's children were amazed at how attentive the home seemed to be, and questioned their father on how he liked it there. He responded, "I've been treated well, but I've got to tell you....they sure don't want you to fart here.  St. Herman of Alaska Russian Orthodox Church, Unalaska, AK. I lived on the hill up behind to the right. | ||

There was a time when there were a lot of crab in the Bering Sea, and a couple of bucks to be made fishing for them.  Someone once brought up the karma question, asking if, when we died, God turned out to be King Crab. | ||

Had a dr.'s appt yesterday, grabbed a paperback of Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" as the time sponge in the waiting room. Read a passage about modern problems, people going to psychologists and psychiatrists for issues they used to go to their minister with. Turn people away from God, they go to athiests for help regarding their anxieties, anquish, etc. | ||

Re: the Healthcare and gay marriage thread, which I'm not following, and because those who support it wouldn't open this religious thread on their most open-minded day, I submit herewith: Deuteronomy 31:15-18 King James Version 15 And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. 16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? 18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. | ||

Point being, one can see that the Bible, in addition to being a book of theology, a book of mental and physical well being, a book containing answers for most questions, it (Bible) is overwhelmingly a "history" book. Those who choose to ignore history, etc., etc.... | ||

Re: the Healthcare and gay marriage thread, which I'm not following... I am following that thread Moxnix, and I open this thread every day :-). I find that discussion interesting. Further proof that many people have yet to begin to realise who and what they really are. The fiction called Government administering its statutes called Law to the fictional Strawman who believes it is all real. Lost souls eager to exchange their God given rights for recognition and privileges by a soulless corporation operating in commerce under UCC, while they argue in dishonour irrelevant beLIEf systems 'til the cows come home. Folk unaware that they flounder at See (sea) subject to Maritime Law, and no longer Law of the Land. All the while abandoned C'est Que vie trusts are opened,updated, and closed as the sheeple change their 'state marriage/union' status, oblivious. Divide and rule. Works every time, every which way.  In the world, but not of it | ||

Ah, the Plumstead Plodder, a 1953 Matchless G80 CS 500 single.  The last sentence of the message from the Translators of the 1611 KJV to the readers: The Lord worke a care and conscience in us to know him and serve him, that we may be acknowledged of him at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with the holy Ghost, be all prayse and thankesgiving. Amen. | ||

I'm listening to raggae on a cable channel, but since we are a country in civil, social, and theological war, this song always impressed me. Take it, Johnny.... | ||

A chap I know who started a company in his father's garage while still at university, which is now a well known international brand, posted this on Facebook. ""Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[e] 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."---my advice to young lovers: discuss this before getting married"" Gee whizz, I am late with a Sunday posting. Church, church picnic, non-profit teleconference board meeting, shooting some technical photos in the shop for a volunteer project, and finally making a drive by visit to this thread. John 21 King James Version (KJV) 21 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Point being, if I'm not evangelizing with success here, perhaps I should drop the occasional line into a few secular humanist and political threads. Or go back to Africa. I hear that in some Utah counties there are very few Christian churches. Perhaps it is time to wander out and plant some truth about God in Utah. | ||

While the sodomite practitioners are over on that Healthcare and gay, etc., thread bashing our friend in Texas (the same people who wrung their hands and gnashed their teeth over politics and religion on a motorbike site), thought I'd pop in with a XR750 snapshot for your consideration as an underlying reference that God and bikes are both more important to me than how some Buell owners and their proclivity toward sodomy. If they make the connection in their private and public lives, so be it. No anus, male or female, is intended for copulation, except in a fallen world, from my religious, cultural and social perspectives.

Unalaska, The Winter of the Big Snow...jump to a soft landing from the upper window to dig out the door. I'd make some off the wall analogy to life, but haven't enjoyed my first morning cuppa'... Wait. Eh.... Okay, if the Aleutian Islands were like the tropics, they would be crowded. Granted that's not an analogy, but spot on. | ||

A little girl went up to her mother one day while holding her stomach saying, "Mommy, my stomach hurts." Her mother replied, "That's because it's empty, you have to put something into it!" Later that day when the Evangelist and her husband were over for dinner. The Evangelist began to feel bad. Holding her head she said, "I have such a terrible headache!" The little girl looked up at her giving her the sweetest smile that any little child could give. Then she said, "That's because it's empty, you have to put something into it!" | ||

Two days in a row of very close calls with murdering cagers. Yesterday's took the cake. Once out of harm's way my immediate reaction was to launch an expansive and time consuming middle finger salute, with verbal accompaniment. When I got home this kind of bothered me because it was such an instantaneous reaction. Then in this morning's readings I plop open the Book to this passage - "The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered." Proverbs 17:27 Obviously I have a long row to hoe. | ||
| Moxnix |
My imp tells me to type, "My row is longer than yours, nah, nah!" But, we've never met, never spoken, so it would be just another lie on my part. I will share the memory of Kenmore, near Seattle, sitting at a red light with a friend in my 1975 Blazer, rusted up to the doorknobs from use on an Alaskan beach. The light turned green while I was distracted, so the lady behind got on her horn. Me, being a semi-pro jerk, looked in the rear view mirror and calmly held my foot on the brake until the light turned yellow, charging forward just before she got caught on the red. Being incorrigible, we guffawed, high-fived, it leaving such an impression on my passenger that he speaks of it decades later. I'm not suggesting anyone try this on their own. On judgement day, this may be the least of my sins for which I must answer. | ||

 The fellow chomping a cigar on his 1935 Harley VLD 750 flathead twin is my father, WW2, Freemantle, Australia. Is motorcycling genetic? He had more than a few. So have I. This is a cropped version of the one Fb1 posted earlier. | ||

 Crickey, mates. No cigar, but the wife of the motorbike shop owner has a lit cigarette, while my father has his middle finger in a bandage. Pre-war Ariel Square Four. The bikers in the fleet hung out at the shop and got to know the owners pretty well. | ||

Really great stuff. Thanks for sharing. |
