“…it has to do with creating and sharing.”
The problem is that some, while not so creative, like the little hat clan, (too many, I’d argue), that sure as hell want to ram their satanic culture right up your kazoo whether you like it or die. The Politbureau wants power, all power seems to satisfies them. The femi-nazis are clueless victimhood, virtue signalists seekers of formless cytoplasm, except that they now own Education®and with that, I’d argue, that that includes the Fag/Tran training of the progeny of the powerless work-a-day humans.
If in your younger days you had the opportunity to “experiment” with these wonderful yet simple devices named cherryboms and m80s then you will understand that some of them proved a bit inferior when initiated. Some had the magnificent and expected pop. Some gave an exceeding poor performance and its performance reminded me the rapid hiss comparable to gastric distress. The latter is a classic example of a dud. Will some display the pop? Or will Americans prove to be duds?
“It is necessary that at least once inYour life, You doubt as far as possible, All Things”
Had various glancing blows in my life with ‘organized religion’. Several memorable instances from childhood onward…”Please God, get me through this and i will go to church EVERY sunday”.
‘Doubting Thomas’ was an early nickname bestowed upon me, culminating in my last ‘on the road’ job, and an observation by my new employers’ rep. A cement plant in Martinsburg. Grateful for 4 yrs. of spanish in high school, came back to me quickly. We were high enough in the air that my knees got a little weak, and i had a ‘funny feeling’ elsewhere, when near the precipice. And to think that at one point, i was seriously into rappelling for the ‘thrill’. Until that too got boring. me and a couple of buddies lugging 300’ of rope up the hill, tying off and taking turns looking down, venturing individual opinions as to wether or not the stretch in the rope would be enough to get us safely to the ground before running out of same. One noteworthy occasion when the ’security’ standard of the attachment point became ‘secondary’, but at least my depth perception was keen. ‘Pussies!’ i remarked as i hopped outta sight…But that was THE RULE…ya pick the anchor point, tie the knot, and called the rope length guesstimate ‘good’. You test the hypothesis. First.
“You have the most cynical outlook of anyone I have ever met” my new employer rep said. Never one to pass on an opportunity to venture an opinion, without missing beat…’Seldom dissapointed’, i replied. Not concerned AT ALL with the consequences, they came looking for me. Only fired from one job when i was very young, but thats another vignette.
Let’s see…where was i?…Oh Yeah!
“Doubting Thomas”. A noteworthy Biblical Character. Who Knew? Less than 2 yrs. in, serious study as possible. I get rudely interrupted in my posting efforts as well, on a regular basis, all hours/conditions, to “please come out and put a sticker on”, play on my phone.
Shocked to find out that constantine changed The Sabbath to sunday among myriad other things.
Still not an official member. Fit of desperation. my wife of less than 2 yrs. Would occasionally remark “you’re going to leave me for some younger…”. Not from the area, but she’s been around these parts for nearly 2 decades. People talk, and it seems like i’ve developed a ‘reputation’.
‘Baby, they don’t know the half of it’ my standard reply. Unsure of the statute of limitations on a few items, NEVER killed anybody, Thank God.
Her mother was a 7th Day Adventist. As it turns out, my baby remembers much, not practicing. Their main tenet, Strictly by The Book. Surreptitiously began calling about, figured that getting married in her childhood church, icing on the cake. In person meeting, was shot down because i wasn’t a ‘Member’.
Pastor was a female. Assured her that i could provide ample references that i was in fact, a ‘Member’. She laughed, ALWAYS appreciated a good sense of humor myself. Gave me some literature to review to decide if might want to consider the possibility of ‘signing up’. Told her that it was highly unlikely, but i had been on a religeous quest of sorts for quite some time, having found myself more and more over time, scratching my head while saying WTF?! to myself. Explained that i was seeking consensus on which Bible was ‘The Best’, Several older acquaintances VERY knowledgable/devout. “KJV” universal response. She gave me a Bible as well.
Noticed a few pages stuck out, ‘proud’ of the rest. Figured that was as good of a place to start as any, While remarking to myself…’Inspector #12 in Quality Control should be fired. Too.’ Somewhat tattered at this point, along with the rest of the pages. Never installed the tabs, but my memory is still OK.
I was reading that particular book for the 3rd time when the Pastor called, several days later, might have been a week or so, immaterial. Said they would make an ‘exception’. ‘cause covid’, of course. Met again to discuss the details…Excited to discuss the stuck out pages as well.
“It’s pronounced Jobe” she said. Turns out that we had to have at least 2 witnesses. Asked what kinda ceremony i wanted.
‘Far as i’m concerned, say what You have to say, We’ll shake hands. Done.’
Didn’t work out that way…in addition to the key word ‘Obey’ being stricken. Ready to file suit in THAT regard. Did get a pic of us shaking hands though, Never have i smiled so hard, or sincerely. (‘Laughter’, a different story).
Been accused of OCD, ‘chronic over achiever’ a time or 2.
Fairly early on, after some early morning activity, a ‘typical’ sunday breakfast, (calculated 2200 calories my portion. Limited control.)… Told ya i was OCD… and some more activity, i rolled over and whispered in her ear… ‘Baby?’
Big smile formed on her face, and she breathlessly responded…What now, Sweetheart?”
‘i’m done with You now’.
We STILL laugh about it to this day. A segment of the last video we shot together, fully clothed. Renewed our vows to each other. Hope to do it every year until we die of old age in our sleep. Together. Hope springs Eternal.
“The Dead Know Nothing”. Until….Very comforting.
FINALLY…something that makes Total sense, Infinitely ‘Logical’
Thank You JESUS, i now KNOW that the ONLY way to the Father is…Through You.
