I used to catch hell for asking this question in Maranatha but it seems pertinent again. How important is being important, since everything some do is so important. After a time the importance of things seems tedious, how can things so important be so. Who after all is the arbiter of the import of things, those who are important? What if those who are so important, are so important that no one else can understand how important they really are. If that is so are they important to anyone other than themselves. Is what they do important because it really is important, or because they say it's important. Things that are truly important are so because they are and not because someone who might need to be important needs to be seen doing something important. I find the more someone needs to tell me they or what they are doing is important the less it really is...important.

Do you like to argue, Jonesee? Is it important for you to win an argument? Do you think that you're more intelligent than "the folks next door?" |

Archipelago-a sea of islands.
In the parable of the weeds Jesus proscribes the consistent agrarian practice of weeding. He allows that in the end the Father will take those matters in hand. The parable speaks of an enemy who comes and despoils the verdant fields with a non productive counterfeit of wheat; its bristles appear in a fashion to be wheat.
How then do we endure this counterpart of nature, this invasion of our investment in a field which has an expectation of productivity? It would seem God has a certain trust and faith in His own word, His seed sown, in the innate nature, His own being given in indiscriminate form through the field-earth to be productive.
The enemy in and of himself can't produce anything of substance he merely counterfeits and distracts. Hence the damage done to the field isn't in the existence of the tares put the good intentions of the gardeners who presume to rid the field of evil and in so doing kill the wheat and destroy the field. If anything is to be learned from the garden it's that grasping isn't God's way, living is. My proscription for evildoers is to live a good life and outshine them. I don't know if you've noticed but when a lamp is turned on even the merest candle it doesn't jump up and run around the room and scare off the darkness; it sits there and shines in the void.

Good Morning, "Mr Antagonistic, condescending, arrogant, judgemental and have chromasome damage person"... sounds like my family tree... . Being clueless I did not see this nest until now..."Cuckoo" being not an unfamiliar term to Linus while sitting in the Pumpkin Patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin on Halloween...haven't looked for pumpkins yet today...saw a friendly looking "Nest". Happy to see that dodge ball with tornados last night did not uproot you... Nothing like the sound of a tornado siren to get my attention...now we live so far "out" the Alerts always happen about 10 minutes after we watch the funnel cloud go over... I'm sure there's a profound lesson in that about something but I'm still hunting my coffee and enjoying a wheat field. I always liked it when they planted wheat instead of soybeans or corn out behind our house... we could tunnel & make paths & hidden places in the wheat (soybeans are prickly and corn uncooperative after it reaches a certain height).
God Bless All in this Nest...His Loving gaze is on the sparrow and surely the cuckoo too... |

Thanks Wildy. I got chromasome damage from huffing cheese wiz. I was sentenced to rehab and now that I'm out I still get embarassed when I go to the grocery store. They have my photo there for a registered offender as a chedophile.

So did you just stick to the straight cheddar or branch out to Bacon Flavored? My husband showed our daughter once when she was a toddler how to spray cheese in her mouth...lovely thoughtful kind considerate spouse that he is and henceforth...never had to try & pry that can out of her hands & convince her that it wasn't polite.... Opps, apparently I still have chedoissues...therapy required...hmmm, I am suppose to be going to the grocery now, I'm sure they'll have something there to resolve the problem! |

Why Dilly...your first double dip...nice to know I'm not the only dim bulb on the lamp...or is that loose tooth on the saw... I have no comments to make at this time about rubber gloves...except my child still likes to "borrow them", blow them up, draw a face & then pop it... that would be my barbarian spouse "child"... |

Or as I heard from a female Eastern European colleague of my regular physician several years ago. "Snap!" as my head whipped around from distractedly reading some health wall chart, "Now for de unplezant part of ze exzaminazion."

My mechanic had an assistant who insisted on wearing rubber gloves when he worked on cars. Thus, he called him "Rubber Glove". Mike is a pretty simple guy, but a heck of a mechanic. Just thought I would let you all know this important, I mean, inane (I think that is the word that was thrown around) information. |

Told dilly if he mentioned factnet this weekend, I would make a weapon out of a Rolling Rock bottle.
Dilly, I called the Hampton today to cancel Fri night, and they had my reservations showing tomorrow and Thurs. So I called Miltie to see if they could change the wedding. Even Miltie wouldn't go there, so I got the Hampton to give us a room for Sat only. Sheesh, seriously, glad I called. M&M will be there Sat.around lunch, I think. |

Hey all! wow, for a minute I thought krems was incognito. BTW, Jonesy, I heard that Hatter was impotent. Oh, wait, you said important. (Oh, hattey I'm kidding you)
Well, I'm glad I'm not important. Seems like a burden. Although lately I've felt 'important' from all the love I've felt from my 'rowdy friends.' So, does being 'loved' make one important, or maybe being loved is what IS important-and by being loved unconditionally I can feel more secure in who I am, therefore I can just simply "be." And that's enough. That's what's important. Yeh-& maybe it's not WHO IS important....but WHAT is?!
Wow-I sound radical, mon....farm out.
hmm..hey dilly, 'I'm just sayin...'
Thanks Jonesy for starting this thread. |

Hey guys my password was stolen so I am using flo's. This is really forward. You gotta keep this on the down low but I had to write and tell you that all of you are right and if I wind up not writing for a while it's because my wife won't let me. She only let's me think once in a while. I think I hear her so I must go.

ooh....I just know they are lurking (or maybe I just forgot to take my meds).
Check out the "healing thread" - can you say controlling?
I don't do well with controlling people. I may need an inner healing. |

Ah Ha! Rowdiness...did you all have anything to do with the earth quake that hit Hawaii?
Flo please be merciful...perhaps things are not as they seem and somehow... oh,darn...want to help move and A/C Unit????
And Lablady if you happen by...I'm still hoping for coffee at Cracker Barrell with you someday, if I haven't accidently offended you and if I did..tell me so I can decide to either just do it on purpose again (because sometimes I am perverse)... or explain and apologize. If you ever feel inclined...my email: msgusa0601 at the yahoo place... I had trouble with your other suggestion but the browser settings are off so... Of course now I'm wondering what I downloaded but if you all get odd emails from an Amed Tan offering money from Africa... tell him what I did: Thank you for your very kind offer, I'd be most delight to share the $ 30M...just mail it here in a box and not to worry I'll hold onto it until you get all the paperwork cleared. So we won't have to bother my bank at all. Then you can have your share.... Funny I haven't heard back....wonder why... |

Thanks John R this is a good idear. The question is are we going to be able to behave our little bunny butts here.
You know what I said last week about the warm and fuzzy feeling that I had? Iwent to my favorite cajun restaurant tonight again and it opened me up like the czech republic. Talk about warm and fuzzy.
Have you been fasting and praying for your mlts this weekend. Those of you who do get this . I am in such a good mood I don't think anything could bum me out. I think that is what kremmy said right before we learned he didn't have a job and mooched off his parents.
Just a few of my thoughts today. BTW I like all of you who have posted here. Evern Dodge,plowman and Kimberly.

wild: you have never offended me. Honestly, I am not easily offended. I pretty much like everyone on Factnet, well...there are a couple,but that's it. Most of the time, I'm not hard to get along with. My husband might disagree but who listens to him? Anyway, chocolate fixes everything. I think Cracker Barrel has a brownie with ice cream. |

Oh, Hi Kimberlyfredrick...may I just call you Kim??? Applebee's has real drinks with that oh, I forget now it's been so long, Flo would know...alcohol in them! Hot Coffee with some Baileys and Whipped Cream and some nice music... Wow, relaxing! Good Idea Kim.
Thanks lablady for understanding. I truly hope that all hearts are safely held and can someday soon share joint space again (well, it's almost Christmas I'll put it on my wish list for Santa...I've gotten to know him since I had a child and he does a very good job with the list...).
Enjoy your time tonight...my eyes must close in sleep... God Bless All in This Nest. |

This little light of mine...
Nero not only fiddled while Rome burned, he was thirty or so miles distant while that happened and he partied while Christians burned-literally. The antics of Nero backfired on him, the Christians misused, and abused, fed to lions, as fodder for gladiator sports and as torches for a party spoke to the hearts of the people. He had them smeared with pitch-tar, and lit while fastened to posts around a party he held, to illumine his fete. The Roman people however saw the fervency, the "something" that these Christians had that they in all of their invincible might lacked, something to believe in. This something is no less than Jesus; He's interested in touching us as individuals and as a people. He didn't scourge Rome as He did the temple in Jerusalem, he allowed the martyrs deaths of a young church speak for Him.
I'm fifty inside there's a young man locked-up in an old-er body and hopefully a wiser head, the heart however is a different matter. My heart used to be confused; maybe what's more accurate is that I was confused as to what my heart was truly saying. Within us all in that little light, as scripture tells us "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet." We've been drawn to stadium lights, loud noises, brass bands, and hoopla, though attention getting they ain't illuminating. With all of the distractions of the hyperbole of the modern pre-packaged, pre-digested, shrink wrapped gospel we miss the rummage sale version of the Gospel a gem in the rough. I was at a salvage yard today picking through old stuff, broken stuff, rusty stuff, a place where treasure lurks if you look for it. I found a few old dilapidated items to bring home, brush off, maybe paint or not, but to use and appreciate, and value. Jesus uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, He said it and it seems to be true down through the ages. There is an obscure promise in scripture about Him not quenching a smoldering wick, or I think smoking flax. The creator of billions upon billions of stars has an interest in small wicks that have a breath of life, a hint of light, a possibility of lighting some small dark corner just enough to make our way.

Kimberly,
I am sure you know that the cloth thing and the holy water thing doesn't work. Only the canned ham thing. That's the ticket. Go ahead and send the check in faith, you do have overdraft protection?

Hey guys, 40 did have a good idea about using the already established Maranatha topic area. Already organized, new threads could be easily established, can use this one and that one too. This one is kinda cool, but the factnet folks may eat it up and throw it into some bigger category. Just sayin' (dilly).
H-e-double toothpicks, its all good. |

JRJ, your post about weeding and seeding got me to thinking. (dangerous) I have looked on the parable of the seeds in the past in terms of human bodies, some recieve the word, some don't, etc. It has occured to me that it can also apply to the state of my own heart, and looking over the long history of my journey with Christ, I can see times where my heart was rocky, with little rooting taking place. Sometimes it has been a thorny heart, where lipservice has merely mouthed the words of my faith but the nattering nabobs of negativism (thanks Spiro) choked the truth.
It is the good ground I seek now, that place that naturally bears fruit, just because that is what the good ground does, you can tell it not to, but it knows no other way, it just happens!

Thinking is a good thing, the journey can be in my mind better if done in a thinking mode. Robert Capon has an interesting take on this issue. He studies the parables of Jesus, the fact that Jesus used parables at all and that parabolic metaphors seem to be God's way hence the arc of a rainbow.

Just thinking some more, here in the public library on my lunch break. Forget the MCM site. Not part of my identity anymore. I am a full blown cuckoo. New cult to deal with I suppose.
Libraries are pretty cool places, lots of books...and brainy chicks. |

Kimberly,
I'll answer you somewhat seriously. A lot of people are promised things that have no basis in scriptural reality. Jesus appeared on the scene and He was a major disappointment, the Messiah for example was according to legend come from some unknown region, he came from Judea, had a family brothers and sisters and was a tradesman. It is said that some of Jesus siblings were unbelievers. They didn't recognize him as Messiah. So to many these days looking for the jackpot it's no surprise to me that they don't see the actual "Body of Christ" nor comprehend what it is the Christ is doing.
They want to get their mojo going and have a legacy replete with adoring progeny that has some glorious refelction on them.

jrj: "They want to get their mojo going and have a legacy replete with adoring progeny that has some glorious refelction on them."
Let's see if I have the translation to this correct, John:
This would be the big billboards I see on the Boulevard in our fair city with a pic of "Pastor and Phophetess Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Jackpot who extend a Laurel and Hardy handshake."
Am I close? |

Hey John,
Thank you for your response. However you have over estemated me. I was merely poking fun at Televangelists. Not all but the most part are a new breed of 'vile'. I was taking a 'jab' and mixing it in with my earlier posts here.
Don't take me seriously.....I'm, just a nut who fell outta her tree! |

I appreciate your humor it seems like you fit in, uh that may not be a good thing. Quick! Someone call emergency psycotherapy there may be hope for the girl yet. Get me the ink blots stat!
Maybe we can Rorschach her back from the brink by association. Um what do you see?

matt: I'm off the EN/MCM site. Because I am Jewish they are going to, at best, discount anything I have to say and, at worst, make inflammatory statements that make me feel that I need to respond.
I'm done with the religious stuff on Factnet, although I certainly don't mind the occasional dialogue with open and tolerant people who find differences of opinion interesting rather than threatening. Unfortunately, it seems the goal of two or three posters on that board to make sure that anyone who is open or tolerant is gone. Since we are here and the majority are there, it seems those 2-3 have the tacit approval of a good number on the board. So be it. |

Copper, you always make me smile. Happy to have you.
Labby, so I am in the library on the west side, I have a meeting at Goodwill every Wed. so I usually stop in to browse before the staffing. My cell phone goes off, it is Allie of course, and the staff decends on me like vultures. I forgot to turn it off, I was in the wrong. Embarrassed for sure, the only white guy in the place and was sticking out anyway. My peeps. Lovely library, BTW, named after a local Selma to Montgomery Marcher. Oh, all dudes in the place reach for their pocket and pull out the cell phone. Drat those things. |

Hahaha, matt.
This is a true story. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for Jews. I'm at Temple during a solemn service and I'm sure I've put my phone on vibrate only. I have to leave it on because of my dad's health issues. It's very quiet and suddenly my phone is ringing and it's playing "Voulex-vous coucher avec moi ce soir (Do you want to sleep with me tonight?) from Lady Marmalade. Needless to say, I picked up my purse and jumped about three pews on my way out.
Later I told the rabbi that she was just lucky that I didn't have my ringtone on "Brick House." |

Asked a Catholic priest to bless me and 'nasso's cars in high school. (I never heard of it, he was his priest, me.. a backslidden Baptist). So he did, and 'nasso's drive shaft falls off the next week and I have a tire actually come loose from the lugs.
I asked Father Desmond what was up with this. He said in a thick Irish accent, "Better be glad I didn't curse your cars, sonny!"
Did I mention Nasso had an MG? That explains the drive shaft thingy. |

Matt, Dilly, and Miltie: I've got a couple of busy days ahead but I wanted to tell you to have a great time at MLTS! Man, I would love to be a fly on the wall.
Flashing back in time to the days when we would load the '73 Vega with coolers and sandwiches because we were too poor to eat out more than once over the weekend. I remember trying to heat homemade egg mcmuffins for the kids under heat lamps in the bathroom at HoJos. Weird as it may sound, we did have some fun back in the day.
I renewed my subscription to the Forerunner just so I could see the pics of the upcoming MLTS. This may be the first time that RR makes it into an issue. |

thanks lablady, trust me it will be a lot tamer than some imaginations have pondered. me and mattie will probably swap blood pressure medicine info and miltie will be predisposed as father of the bride. we have considered a Factnet drinking game involving shots of Maalox and Jagermeister. Anyone mentioning the name Krems is likely to be hospitalized. If pics do surface, I will disavow any knowledge thereof, forthwith, heretofore, ad nauseum, summarily, summarily.

Ah minty freshness with just a hint of...chalk. I'm in a paradoxical situation these days, which I hope isn't too self indulgent. One minute I'm hanging sheetrock and the next on the phone about a television deal. I've got the portable phone cradled under my chin while I'm working and uh-huhing to their conversation.
Have a nice time gang,

Maybe you can do a reality show about a bunch of burned out old geezers who still have a tendency to identify with the Cross. May make it on late nights after the "Girls Gone Wild" infomercial.

I just did after mudding the corners and joints, on to plumbing. I reframed the walls on part of the bathroom, made a head casing over the door that would actually support a load and rewired the room with new lights and dimmer and GFCI outlets. I found some architectural remnants that I'm going to incorporate in the masonry. A dolphin head as tub filler and a replicated piece of old stone pediment as a soap and shampoo shelf. Countertops and tiling are next.

Wow, you are busy! Feel free to sashay your talented self down here after Thanksgiving to help us with sheetrock. This month I am painting the interior of my mother-in-law's house. One huge garage and 2.5 rooms down, 5 rooms to go. Husband says he'd rather build an entire house than paint a room so all paint jobs default to me.
Can you talk about the TV thing? If not, I understand. Hope things work out! |

Oh My JohnR...now I'm tired...Lablady's right leave the sheetrock... And while you are doing all this work...your home does have more than one bathroom and you are not working on them all at the same time???? Some young relatives on my Mom's side came & visited once and were appalled to find..a house with just one bathroom. These were the descendants of a Great Aunt whose house, I visited once and was appalled to find...no indoor bathroom...(rural Georgia circa mid 60's, she just didn't want the new fangled indoor contraption having survived some 80 years at that time without one...finally in her 90's she relented...to that fickle whim of her daughters then in their 70's). I had little sympathy for my cousins "shock" at just living in a one-seater; perhaps it was a good experience for her...she joined the military and well, can you say "shovel"?  |

My dear daddy is building a new fangled outhouse beside the cabin on the pond. It is a stand alone bath house with all the modern facilities, including A/C. He is 76...and the hatter is proud of him. Can't wait to shower the pond scum off when I tip over the jon boat setting the hook on those big bluegills. Just dreamin' dilly.  |

I worked for a time at a place in Paducah that among other things did custom picture framing. A nice lady brought in a custom antique dual oval picture frame and portraits of her mother and father. The sales clerk brought the frame, photos and the customer back to our shop and asked us to give an estimat of the cost of cutting oval mats and glass to fit the antique dual oval picture frame. My boss looked at the "Frame" and said he wouldn't do it at all, and asked it the lady really wanted her parents staring out at the world from the underside of the business end of an outhouse.

The Rolling Rocks are safely iced away in the water tight pickle bucket. Using the priciples of physics, the bucket will float, I may lose a couple thousand bucks of fishing equipment, but the beer will be saved.
Haven't tried it with the Yeungling Black and Tan's though dilliard, they are some heavy mothers.
jonesee is sheetlin us hahahaha
Kimberly: official member of the cuckoo's nest. 40 acres and a mule to follow. Deposit faith dollars in the other pickle bucket marked "scam" |

Kim: do NOT put your money in the pickle bucket. If you want to plant your seed money, you need to put it in the anointed (with vegetable oil) KFC bucket with my initials (LL2 aka Lablady2 aka Liar Liar 2)on the bottom. |

Just write the amount in big numbers. Most of us are old goats now and the tifocals can confuse us.
Labby, would have been nice to meet you this weekend, but we will plan another shindig this summer or something. Miltie should have the Microbrewery up and running by then. |

Like Elvis had blue-black hair, Ma Crouch has pink-blond hair. Weird. Mine? Naturally gray.
Well, for you football fans, a story from the hatter:

It is the whole bunch that always leaves me asking: If I were an unbeliever, why in the wide world of sports would I ever stop punching the remote control on and stay parked on their channel??? Don't they get that?
The answer: It is, once agian, all about the money. They know their look, their set, their behaviors appeal to the last vestige of hope to write those checks--the blue hairs of America. That is why they continue to look the way they do. When the old folks start kicking buckets, TBN will be in big trouble. |

While washing dishes last night, I watched a bit of TBN (my hands were wet and I couldn't change the channel). News flash - a prophetic word from a prophetess. Are you ready? "God is getting ready to pour out His spirit." If I had a dollar....... |

Hey ya'll. You were so easy to find out here. But, I venture out now and then anyway.
Kimberly -- did you say Heritage USA? I grew up right near there and worked a summer in college there in 1982 I wanna say.
Oy-- the stories I could tell!! |

"Uh, matt, we aren't the old folks, right?"
I have too much of my Dad in me Labby. At 76, he refuses to go to my Mom's church because he gets tired of all the "old people" going on about their ailments.
On my 50th birthday, AARP started fillling the mailbox with mounds of envelopes and inserts that I wish they would have left as trees. I TEAR THEM UP WITH GLEE!!!
All I ask, just don't dye your hair pink or blue. Can't help you with the 38 long thing though. Gravity, a true law of nature.
Hi freedom 43! Nice to see you...

matt: I used to dye my hair gray but it got to be so much trouble that I let it go back to its natural blonde.
Your dad and my dad sound a lot alike. I thought my 86 year old dad with leukemia might die a couple of weeks ago (heart failure). Suddenly, he rebounded, as he has done 6 or 7 times now. On Wednesday, the cardiologist asked dad his secret - how does he continue to defy the odds? I told the doc, "First, you eat bacon, eggs, bisquits, gravy or sausage every morning for 85 years. Then, you smoke two packs a day for 50 years...."
So, matt, a toast: May we continue to live in the spirit of our fathers. Now, turn up that Maalox. |

hey lab -- I know, I know. I hope it is not offensive to you when a Shiksa uses such words. It's just such an expressive word. I find at times that it's the only one that will do, ya know? Sigh -- I just wish I knew more Yiddish. |

I'll let ya in on a lil' secret, the set designer of those Egyptian motif thing-a-ma-whatchies was someone I hired in Oklahoma when I was there. He designed and built the MSPN set for me as a friend.

free: There are some Yiddish dictionaries online. Very expressive and funny stuff.
The only things that really offend me, Free, are hatred and intolerance. Beyond that, it's all good.
Matt: You'll enjoy this -
As I've said before, my husband is cheap. He would not be offended that I'm telling this; he's proud of the fact. When he opens his wallet, I make a creakin' door sound affect. Almost never happens. Cheap.
Well, I used to LOVE watching the show "Extreme Makeover." On one particular episode, this woman about my age was having a chesticle "lift." I said, "Man, one day I'm gonna have that done."
Without missing a beat, cheap guy says, "I'll pay for it!" I didn't know whether to kiss him or slap him. However, I am holding him to it. |
