You know, he might have a point. Nothing is more unseemly than young relatives sharpshooting elderly family members out of money in various schemes.
Entitled little pricks just can’t wait.

Too bad he didn’t splurge on a better phone.

Life in prison seems likely.

By the way, the paragraph about an Arizona man yada yada is one of those other story inserts that has a different typeface on-line so it looks like it’s part of the story I copied into the thread. It’s a different deal. This is what Idaho man was doing. No word on Florida man, I believe he is near the bottom of the table nowadays.

The Four Chaplains were four U.S. Army chaplains—George L. Fox (Methodist), Alexander D. Goode (Jewish), John P. Washington (Roman Catholic), and Clark V. Poling (Dutch Reformed)—who sacrificed their lives on February 3, 1943, when the troopship USAT Dorchester was torpedoed and sank in the North Atlantic. As the ship went down, the chaplains gave their own life jackets to soldiers and were last seen linking arms and praying for the men. Their act of self-sacrifice, transcending their different faiths, has become a symbol of courage, grace, and unity in the face of death

Go to Italy........ masterpieces of Renaissance art are found in churches.

Italian Renaissance painters frequently painted large-scale frescos and altarpieces for religious patrons, including wealthy clerics, the Catholic Church, and other private citizens, who commissioned artworks to adorn and glorify their churches, chapels, and altars.

These commissions provided artists with work and allowed patrons to display their piety and wealth, often incorporating portraits of themselves and their families into biblical scenes to commemorate their association with the divine.

Oh poop. The cop was in the GT.

Never mind.

My late father, a graduate of Kings Point, would be delighted by this news — as I am.

It’s a beautiful and strong hymn. It must have frequently been a comfort to men in danger.

How does a 150 become a GT?

Eternal Father Strong to Save

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

“Madam, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly”.
Winston Churchill to Labour MP Bessie Braddock, who had confronted Churchill in the House of Commons and exclaimed, “Winston, you are drunk!”.

Hanging a religious painting of spiritual protection in danger may be a comfort to religious cadets. It can also be viewed as a common piece of art by those who are not religious. After all, religious art fills museums. But I see no way such a painting can be considered forced religion.

That was a heroic effort!

I do love Sheriff Grady Judd........whataguy.......lol
