Why do I intimidate you? I certainly don't mean to... C'mon, Bob. You know you can disagree with me and I still love you. The real thing is that you're such a gentleman that you don't like to publicly disagree with me. You're quite a guy. We should have a phone conversation sometime... Penny

I like being ornery and mischievous but around Penny,...it just ain't fun. Aw, c'mon. I enjoy "mischievous" as much as the next guy. I wouldn't want to quash that tendency in anyone... Penny

Just tryin' to be helpful....but Christians are no better or worse than anyone else. The only good we have is Jesus for without Him we are plumb sorry.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Being a Christian doesn't require the belief in any of the above. Hawk, you are so right!!! Being a Christian is a RELATIONSHIP, not a religion. It is a relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ. It is the acceptance of Christ's atoning death on the cross for our salvation. Everything else is just additional "stuff," legalism added by man, that confuses the issue. God exists. He saved my life a month ago. I live to serve Him. He is the joy and happiness in my life. Penny

Aw, c'mon. I enjoy "mischievous" as much as the next guy. I wouldn't want to quash that tendency in anyone... Penny I had an Aunt who passed away several years ago. She was without a doubt the dearest person I've ever known. When we were young and would get into some mischief at her house, she wouldn't yell or raise a hand. Instead she'd look at you with a smile and say, "now you're too good of a boy to be doing that, I'm disappointed in you". The shame and guilt you felt because of how good she was hurt way worse than any whippin you might get. That's why, I'd much rather feel Bart's, SteveNo's or Issac's venom than to feel your dissapointment. lol ....darn good people.

Sorry bud.
The bad part is I proofread my posts and I still make numerous spelling and grammatical errors.
Just not my strong suit.

You know I was kidding, right trips?
If you knew what I was really called about a hundred times a day, you'd know a misspelling of my middle name doesn't bother me in the least.

When we were young and would get into some mischief at her house, she wouldn't yell or raise a hand. Instead she'd look at you with a smile and say, "now you're too good of a boy to be doing that, I'm disappointed in you". Okay... you've really got my number. That's how I handle the inmates in prison! Penny

I can hear the Judge now, "Alright Carl, you've been convicted. Now since your a first timer, we'll give you the choice of 5 years hard labor, or we can call Penny in to tell you she's disappointed."
Carl-"Give me the 5 years, Boss."

Carl-"Give me the 5 years, Boss." That's about it... Those guys would rather cut off their right arm than have me disappointed in them. For many of them, it's the first time anyone has actually cared about them, treated them decently, and respected them. They most certainly do not want to disappoint that person! I had a guy from my class who was released on parole. He showed up for a few weeks at the ex-offender ministry that Barak and I do on Saturday evenings. He got two jobs and a place to live. It seemed to me that he had it made. But then he picked up a woman one evening, stole her purse and her car, and took off. Of course, they caught him... parole violation (big time), back in the slammer. It took him probably a month before he could bring himself to come to the education area and look me in the face. He's still ashamed of what he did. But some guys simply are happier inside where decisions are made for them... they've been in so long they're institutionalized. Penny

"I cannot accept blind faith."
Everytime you drive in your car or fly on an airplane you "accept blind faith" that you will get where you want to go.
