| Dave's Place | |

| To nobody in particular, Its an ON day today, Glory! I was | |
| standing frying an egg to put on my toast and found myself | |
| looking at the frying pan (it was a sort of Moses at the burning | |
| bush moment)now you're thinking,what's glorious about a frying | |
| pan,well it's,the eco friendly,has that eco green bottom,makes | |
| one feel healthier just looking at it,it has the non stick label | |
| on it (false advertising,my egg always sticks) but the | |
| revelation was we had had it for a long time,usually longevity | |
| is not there trade mark,they get scratched,somebody uses a knife | |
| to cut something in the pan,then that someone is told,toxics are | |
| now going to be released into the food,(a good reason to give | |
| thanks before eating) so into you must go,ei,ei,oh, why oh why | |
| has this one lasted so long, you already know the answer ,I | |
| bought it myself //// Isn't God good,I'm HIS possession,bought | |
| with a price,I know my pan is mortal but this mortal shall put | |
| on immortality so as I wrote this to no one in particular,I took | |
| the liberty of preaching to myself,using a couple of scripture | |
| references 'cos I'm preaching to myself,as I looked out of the | |
| window I knew it was an on day because I felt a little love for | |
| Mr Nasty who lives over opposite, who parks his car on my side, | |
| throws his coffee cup on my grass----------well I'd say a little | |
| love,to all who might feel they are a nobody. | |

| Stuff that one buys with ones hard earned graft does come in for | |
| a little more tender love and care. | |
| I can't stand to feel the way others drive the cars I have, | |
| unaware that so much has been put in place to hide the fact that | |
| Mr and Mrs Average car driver has no more ability to drive than | |
| a rabbit knitting a pair of socks. | |
| I have tools that are older than my children and still in | |
| perfect working order only because I did not do the equivalent | |
| of cutting up bacon in an eco non stick frying pan. | |
| As to the final point of your post Dave I hope I show love to Mr | |
| Nasty when we meet, just how do I know if he or I am in fact the | |
| real Mr Nasty? | |

| James,I loved the analogy of a rabbit knitting socks,Mr Nasty | |
| acquired his name,I know that you know,names can depict | |
| nature,example,Isaac-laughter,self explanatory, Mr Nasty was | |
| named for his attitude,when Pat a neighbour,politely ask him to | |
| move his car, so she could plug her car in on very cold | |
| night,his reply was not hallelujah,praise the Lord, which is my | |
| standard reply for being called out on a freezing night,he was | |
| very nasty. Pat was a fervent Mormon and I'm sure she rushed in | |
| and prayed for him. She invited me to an Italian meal at the | |
| Mormon church,a free meal,how could I say no,so along I went,I | |
| was quite surprised,no ladies falling out of there dresses,no | |
| blue hair,didn't see any nose rings,no men with ear rings,very | |
| correct,12 to a table,12 obviously meant something///good | |
| meal,no seconds though nor any tea or coffee,just water, which I | |
| silently prayed would turn into wine,which it didn't,has anybody | |
| ever seen someone do that?Not finished here,rushing off to play | |
| squash,back soon to finish. | |

| Dave, I trust the game of squash turned out a lot better than | |
| the Hockey the other night. | |
| Oh, that is Nasty , I thought that all Canadians helped each | |
| other in the cold snow conditions, why not pop a "Mister Man" | |
| book through his door, you could always include a tract so that | |
| he felt blessed! | |
| I am sure he would take up an offer of a free meal if you | |
| invited him over for one of your special cook book | |
| treats.[/color]pt] | |

| Size 14???shoes??? Oh, aren't we full of good ideas,you haven't | |
| seen Mr Nasty,(maybe he's part of the tribe of Goliath,)he's one | |
| scary dude and to boot,his father in law is a preacher//so I | |
| don't feel his blood quite so close to my head,that said,for all | |
| those who have a strong evangelistic bent(I can hear you | |
| saying,'see it as an opportunity' /////)from a few thousand | |
| miles away!! I did say to the Lord that I was finding it hard to | |
| really pray for him and his family,He said I had to,so you'll | |
| all be glad to know that salvation will visit his house,I think | |
| James, I'll put off the breaking of bread bit,he looks like he | |
| could eat a scabby horse and chase the rider,add him to your | |
| pray list,squash,ah,now that's another story,while eating my | |
| toast this morning,I perchanced to read,the saga of Jesus and | |
| the Pharisees,Matt 16 ,you know the old sign seekers,I suddenly | |
| realised,you could lump me with those who are always asking for | |
| a sign,I seem to get the same answer,'no sign shall be given | |
| you' any one know the feeling? He says,a wicked and(I won't | |
| quote any more)so paraphrased version,no sign shall be given,end | |
| of matter,oh whoops,isn't that like the Lord,here comes the | |
| punch line but" the sign of the stroppy prophet Jonas" so I | |
| wondered what that meant to them?it seems to me we live in a | |
| time where "a wicked and adulterous generation" is | |
| applicable,so,from the story of Jonah,what sign???? | |

| Sign, I had thought it was the sign of being three days dead in | |
| the big fish. Jonah 1:17. | |
| Even if not quite dead he would have been if God had not at the4 | |
| end of three days and nights told the fish to spew him out. | |
| Its all I've got! | |

| James,it pains me but I think you're right about,the sign of | |
| Jonas,I was reading from Matt 16,then Matt 12 and got caught up | |
| with" the men of Ninevah shall rise in judgment with this | |
| generation"salvation of Gentiles was definitely a burr in a | |
| Jewish saddle. | |

| To the people who read and never post,I was reposed on my | |
| balcony this morning,eating a interim meal before the great | |
| fullfilling of the scripture of Paul,concerning the BUFFETing of | |
| our bodies,it's thanks giving day here,where the Turkey pays the | |
| ultimate sacrifice,unlike Jesus it probably wasn't | |
| willingly,while on the balcony I got to thinking about Honest | |
| Thomas,called doubting in some bible headings,he may have been | |
| an unbelieving believer but I liked his honesty,like the man | |
| petitioning for his daughter,I believe,help thou my | |
| unbelief,honesty,not having the Talmud,Aramiac,Greek or Hebrew | |
| at hand,I looked in the contemporary dictionary, which was at | |
| hand,it translates honesty,as a state of being honest,it links | |
| it with integrity and probity,a man could learn a lot reading | |
| the dictionary,integrity speaks of adherence to to a high | |
| ethical code,probity,never heard of it but I liked what it said | |
| about probity,integrity that has been proved and revealed in | |
| ones actions,so you can call Thomas what you like,he put his | |
| money where his mouth was,I'll leave you with this pithy saying, | |
| ,"when it's all said and done,there's always more said than | |
| done."have a week of kindness this week. | |

| Seem to be having a problem leaving the site???? looking back, | |
| it seems to be me and you James,so to pass the time I came | |
| across this in my drawer,a story of a mafia group who hired a | |
| deaf mute to do there accounting,they discovered he had ripped | |
| them off for 10 million,they bring there lawyer to interpret for | |
| them,they torture him but he won't tell,then one pulls a | |
| gun,put it to his head and says to the lawyer,tell him he's dead | |
| unless he tells,lawyer interprets,the man says it's in the | |
| garden shed,gunman says what did he say///lawyer said,he said, | |
| you don't have the guts//I know it's a groaner. | |

| Going back one step Dave to those who read but never post. | |
| Where do they fit in with your communication thread since | |
| something is communicated to them as they read but they | |
| communicate nothing of their faith to the site. I could be wrong | |
| and they are communicating faith in an act of reading, but I am | |
| not sure how that communication comes across to me or builds me | |
| up or encourages me, other than knowing that at lest words are | |
| read and one trusts that God can bless them and strengthen them | |
| by those ordinary words arranged in a divine way for their | |
| enhancement. | |
