An Atheist was taking a walk through the woods. What majestic trees!
Whatpowerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself. As he was
walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind
him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly bear charge Towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and
saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder
again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him,
reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike
him. At that instant the Atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."

Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light
shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: "You deny my
existencefor all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even
credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out
of this predicament?

Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the
light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me
as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a Christian?"

Very well," said the voice.The light went out. The sounds of the forest
resumed. And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws
together and bowed his head and spoke: Lord, bless this food, which I am
about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.

A Farmers Tale
Now Playing: Something I Snaged
Topic: take a break
A FARMERS TALE.

A Newfoundland farmer named Ralph had a wife who nagged him unmercifully from morning till night (and sometimes later); she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out ploughing with his old mule. So he tried to plough a lot.

One day, when he was out plouging, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife began harassing him again. Complain, complain, nag, nag; it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet caught her smack in the back of the head: Killed her on the spot!

At the funeral a few days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement.

This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the farmer about it. After the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.

The old farmer said, "Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement."

"And what about the men?" the minister asked.

"They all wanted to know if the mule was for sale."

I finally tracked down this pic that I knew I had some where. I'ld stumble across it and forget where I saw it. I still don't remember which album the original is in, but I did get it to an album that I use more often. I'm going to try to insert it here.
WELL, forget that. I'm not on a puter with my folder on it. (The library won't let us create folders.) Oh well, its in my tripod album. It's the pic with me in a white shirt. Going to see what's up at "the castle".

NOT MUCH ON 7-22-05
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: Another hard day
Topic: take a break
I've been busy going through my folders today and haven't gotten much done.
I sure could use a hug today. I'm tired and don't feel like I got anything done.
It's 7:15 p.m. right now. I still have an A.A. meeting to go to. I really don't feel like it, but I'm going anyway.
Got to take a shower before I go. The meeting's at 8:00 so I guess I better get going.
Later, Love You, Bye.

Topic: take a break
I just had to get something onto this blogsite and after writing all that new stuff on my website I guess it's time to take a break from EDITING.
I do want to put a link to my website in here so we can go back and forth. But right now it's 2:10p.m. and I'm putting off going outside to smoke a cigarette. I'll write as long as I can hold out.
I guess right now is a good time to put in that link so here I go. TO MY WEBSITE my website
Right now this doesn't look right. I see all the s and= and all of that techie stuff. It's the html code for a link to my site.
I NEED A CIGARETTE! Later.
