Rubber-Necking Prairie Dogs

 God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house, and He has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my afflictions.  My worst decisions were fueled by strong emotional appeals.

make me wish i could fart on cue

The attacks only let me get on with my plans.  i know because i've talked to God about it.  i tell Him all the time.  i'm surprised i don't bore Him to death.  But He alone can change my heart.  "My Lord and my God!" shouted Thomas.  The theory of evolution is the new kid on the block with only a century of acceptance under its belt.   i could never find fault in the Word of God.  It can only find fault in me.  

Around the corner I have a friend.  In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone.  And I never see my old friend's face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well As in the days when i rang his bell And he rang mine.  We were younger then, And now, we are busy and tired men; Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.  "Tomorrow, " I say.  "I will call Jim."  Just to show that I'm thinking of him, But tomorrow comes--and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows Around the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram, sir, Jim died today." And that's what we get and deserve in the end; Around the corner, a vanished friend. -[Charles Hanson Towne]
