Big Brother Gardening

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

This is what happens when complete morons are allowed to vote and hold office: Lafayette Cracking Down on Local Gardens. These people need a kick in the head and all decision making privileges revoked for life.

Hmm. I take that back. If they can survive one round…no, make that thirty seconds…in the Octagon with Brock Lesnar, then they can keep their jobs.

Brought to You by Mercury

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

I’m up late watching a History Channel documentary about an ancient Chinese emperor who gave himself mercury poisoning while attempting to make himself immortal. They showed the emperor collapsing and spilling his elixir across the table in front of him. Queue dramatic music. Cut to commercial: “This history program has been brought to you in part by Mercury.” Of course, they meant the car maker, not the mad maker, but their timing couldn’t have been better.

I wonder if they even noticed…

Devarim 5768 – Keep Moving

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Deu 1:6-7 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey…

It isn’t healthy to stay still for too long. Stagnation and atrophy: these are the fruits of a sedentary life. We have to keep moving and growing throughout our life or we will die. This means constant learning, career advancement, greater responsibilities, and spiritual growth.

Masei 5768 – A Time for War

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Num 33:55  But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

Ecc 3:1,8  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven….A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

God is loving, longsuffering, and merciful even while he hates, takes vengeance, and executes justice.

Most of the time, the best course is to live and let live, to forgive and make peace. Every now and then, however, making nice just makes you a victim.

Sitemeter has been causing problems with IE today, so I disabled it. I’ll turn it back on when they fix it.
