the idea of "turning the other cheek", as well as doing good to your enemies can be taken to this perverted point as well. I think Jesus meant for us to be strong enough to keep our principles even when under provocation of any kind, not to just be so accepting of others we cannot deal with real problems on a reasoned or principled basis. He would when appropriate use his kind of "anger" to refute the teachings of others, drive merchants from the temple grounds, etc etc etc.

I want my religion to be competent to address real problems any day. . . . .

Babe, a couple of posts ago you again spoke of real life problems/issues. Is there any specific problem you'd like to bring up? I think the acceptance of God's love and repentance are the tools in the chest to get through any of them.

oh I've got problems, enough.

wife has more, justly spoken. three surgeries in two months, wacked out on perkoset. don't want to get the mental health issues in the brew. . . . I had to prevent her from going on the kids though. It's as crazy as hell.

a few days ago I had called a cowboy with a cattle trailer out to the ranch to pick up some yearling bulls and one grand old Lord of the Range. I said I'd have them in the corral, so he didn't bring his horse. "Patton", the grand bull to beat all bulls, is about as smart as I am. Yes, I got him in the corral. He went around, found the opposite gate closed and ran right back out. I coaxed the others in by putting some hay there for them, and he came in too. I closed the gate and took a nap until the cowboy came.

well, Patton saw the truck and knew what it was for, and took a little run and jumped the fence. Every other bull followed. He also jumped the fence up on the county road and took off into the wild blue sage yonder.

The poor cowboy told me the only way I'm going to win that argument is with a 30.06 right between his eyes. I told him he had a reputation with my herd. The minute he shows up, they will all run for the hills. Cowboy felt like it was time for a heart to heart "I don't want to see you get killed" discussion.

all in all, I figure the bull is the lesser of my problems right now.

I'm just going to have to pray "Lord Jesus come help."

If you write this all up, I think you've got a pretty good script for a nice Western... I love a good Western...

I can see Tommy Lee Jones playing your character.

Oh yeah. The little I know about babe is that it would be a long one. I'm thinking Lonesome Dove in length. And what a beaut it would be.

Seriously babe, I couldn't begin to know what your going through. Hang on there.

and that was a deliberate play on words.

One thing the old lady does wrong is try to tell me what to do or not do, which means I'll not do it or do it, as the case may require to preserve my liberty.

so after moping around making a federal case about her wounds and how she couldn't go to work until August, the HR jokes told her she'd just be canned if she didn't come back on the dot of July 16. And then all of sudden she was well and going on vacation for the one week of liberty she still had.

she packed up the girls in her car and took off inside of one hour, and drove to the oilfields of North Dakota, stopping for the night in Butte. The next day she made it to her sister's place practically unannounced. Sis went into labor the next morning and told them she wanted to be alone, so my girls decided to go on to Bismarck. Except the kids, who started bawling about being trapped with the wild insane driveforever mom. So the stopped and went swimming in the park about one block from sis's place. A couple of hours later they got a call to come back, from a couple of desperate midwives. Sis was unconscious, bleeding profusely. Wife was back in about one minute.

Long story short. My wife is a former midwife, now RN labor/delivery specialist who is gifted in this department. The friends/midwife trainees who had come to be with sis didn't know what to do. wifey took charge, got out the meds they didn't know how to use, and got the crisis under control. without her it would have been an emergency ambulance ride to the hospital for sis. Sis is fine, and so is the new baby, and wife is back home now telling stories about how her girls made all the right decisions to get her to drive to their aunt's place and stay close enough she could help.

and yep, this is the same dame who couldn't go back to work a week ago.
 
she's hanging around, feeding me leftover marshmallows and stuff the kids just unloaded from the car. . . .
 
this is where I need to go into a very long philosophical discussion that will guarandamntee she doesn't start reading. . . . lol
 
While PKM could do the job, I know it's just too much to ask. Can't get in two hundred posts in one day talking philosophy. For that you need to have something to say about every NBA draftee on the horizon, and chicks.
 
and now I've got a new page, and what's past is past and buried where no one will ever go look to see what I've done.

A new page is as good as three hail marys.
