No snow needing removal yet? Good for you!
Gizmo dragged you all over the place yesterday, didn’t he? LOL
It sounds like you don’t like to get groceries in the rain any more than I do. LOL We get more rain the day after you do and I’ll get groceries before it gets here. We’re getting some rain tonight.
I hope you get some good rain but NO storms.
Good morning, my, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
My questions about Benghazi as well.
Good morning, E...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
KFC sounds wonderful. Enjoy! Gizmo is really looking like a happy dog having so many fun adventures.
Enjoy good weather on today’s adventure, and then top it off with KFC.
Previous record for latest “first measurable snow” was passed yesterday.
Latest date for one inch or more is February 5.
Finally, it’s DRY!
A little chilly, but both Tippy and I are both grateful for the clean, cold, air that’s not WET.
so many questions
Hope you can set a new “first measurable snow” record.
And still NO answers...
Good Evening Kathy! - football Sunday and stayed in. No slides reported on the highway and the rain seems to have let up for a while. Take Care, be Safe.
I'm posting this here for future reference and rectification. It relates to Noah's Ark "box" so bear with me.
If a modelling agency says to a young woman, "You're too fat", it's got some agenda. The lass is probably already 10 lbs underweight as it is.
If a little child sees a woman and loudly proclaims to his mother, "Look at that big fat lady!", that woman is fat.
An innocent child is merely stating an obvious but unpleasant truth. There's no agenda. The word is trustworthy.
A product may live up to the claims in its commercials, but every commercial aims to sell a product. According to the sales pitches, every detergent is better than the competition. Can't rely on these sources because they all have an agenda.
Ditto for politicians, religious experts, environmentalists, and ideologs in general.
This is a systemic problem. Now if God had to think up a way to proclaim His truths such that no one could doubt the veracity thereof, He'd have to think outside of the box.
He'd have to get the info out through untraditional means, as in the example of the little child. The simple child is merely inspired to say what he sees; he is unaware that he just cut through all of the woman's delusions about her weight. All of the medium-sized clothing she wears had been sized to sell.
***
Popular songs, movies, memes, famous or infamous events... even when they come with an agenda, they could be unwittingly saying what they don't mean to say, outside of their intended purpose. This is handy.
Consider how "animals act funny" ahead of earthquakes. The observant recognize the sign. The animals aren't trying to be EQ prophets, they're just reacting to whatever vibe they are receiving, and respond instinctively.
The identity of the unicorn (re'em, ראם) in the Bible has been a subject of much debate. It's a big deal because the context is in the strength of Israel and in the blessings to Joseph.
This unicorn and its horn are emblematic of strength and survival.
Which brings me to The Unicorn Song -- the explanation for "why you'll never see a unicorn to this very day." God instructed Noah, "Don't you forget my unicorn."
Floated away in the Flood? That's the opposite of the symbolism and mythologies. Of course -- it's supposed to be a funny song. But notice that the lyrics don't actually say that the unicorns "playing silly games" had drowned.
As as everyone already knows, Joseph was presumed dead (same for Joseph the father of Jesus). Is there a loophole with those unicorns? After all, Joseph was famous for knowing how to think outside of the box, and was on a mission from God to save life by a great deliverance.
The ark started movin', it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that's why you'll never seen a unicorn to this very day
Water is a common metaphor for the Torah, and floating can refer to water or air.
What kind of [quick thinking] unicorns could have survived this "unsurviveable" situation?
I'll stop there for now. I've already followed that trail so I know where it leads, right back to the undeniable reality on the ground.
I've been playing "silly games" since I was old enough to play, so this tends to irk people.
Remember Tootle the train? If he had only stayed *off* the rails, he would have become a real flying train like Doc Brown's, instead of one in name only.
>>>Now Tootle is a famous Two-Miles-A-Minute Flyer. The young locomotives listen to his advice.
"Work hard," he tells them. "Always remember to Stop for a Red Flag Waving. But most of all, Stay on the Rails No Matter What."
<<<
Poor Tootle. He had such potential.
Work smart, not hard. It's not any work at all if it's love.
The Assyrian General that had leprosy was healed by simply bathing seven times in the Jordan River.
At first he was angry that Elisha had given him such a simple thing to do, and in such a small river, but the general’s servant convinced him to at least try. All he had to do was believe.
Same with Jesus ...................
