I wont be doing the pig...

Daus always made jokes about pork sandwiches everytime Petunia sang at the SOPAC Saloon & Good Time Pirates Club.

Petunia had been rescued from the It Takes a Village People who had captured her to prevent her from swimming in the Pool Poopy...Then beowulf blew up the still and someone shot the moose in the arse and somebody put ferns in the bar and the pirates were all accused of wearing frilly shirts...and then I voted for President Bush.

Thanks for the reminder.

The Ultimate Physician

Read:
Luke 19:1-10

I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold. —Luke19:8

Bible In One Year: Luke 18-21

Physicians can cure many illnesses, both physical and mental. But only Jesus can bring about the healing that makes bad people good.

A noted psychiatrist recognized his own limitations in a conversation he had with British clergyman William Barclay. "All that a psychiatrist can do," said the doctor, "is strip a man naked until you get to the essential man; and if the essential man is bad stuff, there's nothing you can do about it. That's where you come in." Barclay later commented, "I think he meant that this is where Jesus comes in."

Zacchaeus was a bad man who needed inner healing. As a chief tax collector, he could take a cut from what his subordinates had collected. Therefore he was a wealthy man. Apparently he had heard about Jesus and wanted very much to see Him. Being short in stature, he climbed up into a tree to see above the crowd.

I believe Zacchaeus was overwhelmed with guilt when Jesus looked up and told him He was coming to his house. Later, he told Jesus he would give half his wealth to the poor and restore fourfold to any he had defrauded. Jesus said, "Today salvation has come to this house" (Luke 19:9). In that instant Zacchaeus was spiritually healed. Only the ultimate Physician can make bad people good. —Herb Vander Lugt

Jesus came to seek and save the lost,
Left heaven's glory, minding not the cost;
Looking high and low and far and wide,
The Son of Man for all was crucified. —Hess

The ultimate Physician can reach you wherever you are.

{{{Hugs}}} for Harrowup!!
Delighted we drew you out to romp through Memory Lane with us...
Your wonderful lessons in the Mighty Phine Art of Gentle Debate have served us well..:))

"somebody put ferns in the bar" - LOL - Billie and I had fun decorating, trying to counter the 'velvet painting effect.'

So, Navy Guy - how goes life in D.C. now that we've "corrupted" you?!!
The sea change was beneficial, and despite the slings and arrows perpetually aimed at us, Our America is gradually being renewed.

Hope you'll stroll into The Finest Room often, and perhaps submit your photograph to Billie to include in our Military Monday collages of military and veterans??
