Omar? Omar, is that you?
I like to think and have often demonstrated . . . that if a 4 year old tells me something I need to hear about myself . . . I can be happy to hear it and apply it--especially when confirmed of Holy Spirit within me. I never want to be too self-convinced, self-important or self-whatever else to be unwilling to learn and grow from input--even from a 4 year old. . . if fitting.
Now, what about that invites derision? Or what about that do you not understand? Or what about that is genuinely offensive to you?
Perhaps you prefer fossilized, rigid, brittle old farts who are too arrogant to notice their own idiocy?
It appears past time for me to bow out of this pseudo dialogue.
I have no interest in contributing to the delinquency of a physical adult.
I apologize to your wife and kids for whatever contribution my contact with you may have added to your emotional outbursts. . . . and to you.
Have a growthful life. I do strongly encourage you to go to a CREDO workshop up in Julian or attend a CREDO group down at the San Diego house. It used to be possible even for retirees. . . .your family would thank you and your unit would thank you if you are still in. . . .and it could be one of the more meaningful experiences of your life. Your CO should have the contact numbers or the web or Navy area directory should have the numbers.
You may have the last word.
Yes!
CUTE.
But not until Monday, here.
BTW, AM CURIOUS. . . HOW ABOUT A STRAW POLL . . . replies to here or to me privately and reported back here . . . if there's enough response to bother with. . .
DO y'all on this here thread . . .believe . . . (A) YES there is a globalist, NWO, UN, SHADOW GOVE etc. type conspiracy to rule the world or (B) NO you don't believe there's any such of any significance to be concerned about.
or
whether it belongs to a mild mannered, hard working Hobbit merely intent on making bread and providing life giving flour to the community.
Of course there are concerns about a socialist wind; Shrillery's withering fierce hot air wind; the hurricane of tinfoil hats wind; the tornadoe of rising expectations wind etc.
Guess I'll keep on baking bread and trying to grow some fruit on the trees.
