"A Sunday Thought To Ponder..."

This is not for most of you...

But it is for that certain few who can't help coming here but then let their own self loathing get the best of them

"The Wet Dream"

Blackbird (2014)

This is my favorite scene from this film... Randy, who is a star in his church choir is having a dream about his straight best friend Todd with whom he's performing duo on Sunday morning. His passionate dream fulfills all his secret fantasies until he awakens to damp sheets. I love when the girl with the big hair faints at the sight of such a thing, but it's not nearly as much fun as the look on the faces of the two jealous boys in the second gif. BTW: The song they're singing, "Lord, I want to be like Jesus."

Ignorance is epidemic in America

"A Little Sane Advice..."

The country seems to have a penchant for supporting those who will ultimately hurt them right now, but my memory is long and I never will.

"It's Not So Funny..."

To quote my mother...

I wouldn't give these haters "eye water to cry with..."

Don't take my word for it, read it for yourself, I have.

This morning at the meeting house...

"This Made Me Smile..."

This is funny because it's so true...

I distinctly recall the P-day in Boot Camp when our company commanders explained that, 

"You motherfu*kers are gonna have to learn to swear like fu*kin sailors!"

He followed that up with a rhetorical question...

"Any of you sons of bitches gotta problem with that, then raise your godda*n hand."

And of the 90 or so of us recruits standing under a giant shed in the freezing cold of winter at Great Lakes, Illinois, one guy's hand went up! I'm sure you can imagine what happened next... he was berated with a barrage of profanity that I've never forgotten after nearly 40 years. The company commander ended his tirade with a question to our unwise fellow recruit, which he asked while yelling at the top of his lungs and standing so close to the poor guy that it looked like they'd kiss...

"So what's your problem, you candy-ass pussy?"

And in an astonishingly loud and clear voice, the recruit responded,

"Sir, because it offends our Heavenly Father, Sir!"

We all thought the CC was gonna beat the crap out of this guy,

but to our surprise, he took two steps back and said:

"If any of you other co*ksuckers ever find yourselves in battle, you better hope this brave motherfu*ker is with you!"

And that ended that day's lesson in how to swear like a sailor.  Later that evening after chow and just before lights out, I found myself sitting on the floor next to that recruit and I asked him why he said that, and he simply replied, 

"Because I believe it, I'm a Mormon."

I'd love to tell you how that brave (or foolish) fellow and I became fast friends, but we  never actually spoke again during 10 more weeks of boot camp. I have no idea what happened to him, but I've never forgotten his bravery or his conviction in his beliefs.

"A Thought To Ponder..."

Don't ever forget the fight for love's freedom was hard won.

This year, vote with your conscience and your memory.

Louisiana’s new mandate is the first step in a sinister vision for the country

The impact of this law on education and the broader cultural clash over civic morality is chilling.

What's next, a poster of Leviticus 18:22 or 20:13?

Or how about the old reliable story in Genesis of the Curse of Ham, used for centuries to explain why there are black people and to justify slavery.

The christian nazis are the most dangerous threat to our country that we've faced in modern times. At my age, I don't fear much anymore, not even death, but these people truly scare me.

"A Sunday Thought To Ponder..."

I would never challenge anyone's deeply held "personal" beliefs...

But please don't try to force your "personal" beliefs on everyone else through public policy

"Adam and Steve in the Garden"

I couldn't help myself, when I saw this it immediately reminded me of an illustration of Adam and Eve (sans the loin cloths) from a Sunday school manual I once taught from.
