	World's fastest Beagle Deacon may have been the world's fastest Beagle. While lightly tugging at the leash one would never guess the amount of stored energy in one dog. He was faster than a rabbit. Bright brown eyes, angelic upward gaze, slight quiver in his flanks, all silently pleading to be unleashed. Zoom! The click from the release of his collar from the leash was forever accompanied by a burst of energy that jetted Deke six blocks before he slowed to smell the first telephone pole. You know at least one Deacon - the person who leads an exemplary life while in the presence of people to be impressed. But when the leash is unsnapped, whether away from home or when no one is looking, the primal instinct to run wild wins a short argument with a dwarf conscience. The Deacons of this world have placed their honor, marriage and their God in a box. Instead of uniform dependable daily behavior there is conformity only while on the leash. Remove the restraints and undisciplined risk taking rules. Compartmentalization of values, activities, and allegiances leads to disaster, divorce and depression. God did not create us to run wild. Balance and discipline are twin pillars supporting a happy peaceful life. All aspects of life - words, thoughts, attitudes and actions - must be brought into subjection for a healthy relationship with ourselves, others and with our Creator. Want to quit running? You can't reform yourself. Try all the remedies, pills, and Self Help 101 courses and you'll still fail. Help is only available in One who is more powerful than we are. Call on God to give you stability and peace. He is a patient Master.

I can't get the castle picture to load and the url in the properties won't come up either. (Overloaded server maybe?)

If it's the picture I'm thinking of, it was discussed on another thread. And it is a fake is there is a group of people standing behind the sandcastle. (Somebody found that picture on a hospital Web site. Somebody faked a sandcastle and put it in front of the picture of the medical personnel.)

[Soaring Feather]

Hi NNewbury!

I love squirrels, even if my friends do call them "tree rats." LOL!

Can you make the picture larger?

[Radix]

I stumbled upon the image while perusing the Internet. I had not seen any threads or comments about it. Still, I do remember watching videos of certain persons gleefully cheering after the 11 September atrocities, and those images were quickly stifled by the MSM!

I suppose that it is a photo shop job, but metaphorically, it represents real attitudes by persons who despise America. Nevertheless, I do apologize for posting an image which is likely bogus. I honestly did not know.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yep, that's the picture. I was all ready to remind myself that just like we have mmoore, others have the same. And that I am past being surprised at people.

[Fawnn]

I wasn't questioning your integrity regarding the picture. I know you wouldn't "pass something off" on us.

And, most of us here agree with your opinion on the MSM!!!

[StarCMC]

Thank you for today's thread Tonk!! I am just now arriving...we spent the early afternoon at my mom's with the whole brood and then I had to have a nap! Whew!! I must be preggo or something!! LOL!!! Catching up now....

[NNEWBURY]

Looks like you posted the "thumbnail" of the photo.
Try double clicking on the picture to see if you get a larger version of the picture.

A lone red fox picks through the snow in Yellowstone National Park. Unlike the pack-forming gray wolves in the park, red foxes are solitary and occupy home ranges that may be shared with only one or two members of the opposite sex.

Good Evening Star!

[MeekOneGOP]

Thank you. Makes it all worth it.

Freepers are the greatest. Thanks! :^D
