#2Leslie has done such a good job with her recent posts that I've offered her a permanent spot on the roster here at Time of the Preacher. Rumor has it that she slept her way to the top, but I don't hold it against her.
#3No one responded to the posting of the planks of the Commie Manifesto. I invite you to scroll down and take another look. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that, in some form, all of those planks have been implemented here in the USA. Not just since O'Bama's election, this has been brewing for a while now, but is manifesting itself more each day with this new administration. I'd also add that socialism looks good on paper, but it never ever works. If you are interested, read or see Dr. Zhivago or Animal Farm or read some of the writings of the founders of this nation.
I've heard it said recently that Jesus and the earliest Christians were a socialists. I disagree. They believed in giving freely of what you have, not having it taken from you. "But what about Ananias and Sapphire in Acts 5?", you might ask. Their sin was not in withholding some of the proceeds of the sale, but in attempting to deceive the apostles by saying they had given all.
#4Word on the street is that yesterday my great-uncle notarized and mailed the documents that I need to register the boat. I found a motor for sale in Granger that I'm going to look at in a couple of days. I got a trailer a few days ago and am ready to take the boat home with me. Amen.
#5Dad and I went bank fishing yesterday evening. Caught 3 crappie. I did the Biblical thing and ate them for breakfast today(John 21:12). It's that time of year. I'm ready to get home and fill the freezer. In honor this fish I've changed the colors of the background here at TotP to match their markings.
