I suppose if you were sitting beside me, I might find it a bit jarring, but as ours is a textual relationship, unless you start typing in a sooper flowery font, it's not an issue :-)<br /><br />Bottom line, unless your demeanor, philosophy, politics and general take on things has radically changed as well, I can't imagine why you wouldn't be as welcome here as always.<br />Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-73290919308324141372016-07-17T21:43:32.610-07:002016-07-17T21:43:32.610-07:00But as messed up as I am, and I have always been m...But as messed up as I am, and I have always been meased up as long as I can remember, I am happier than I have ever been and finally at peace with mysoph.<br />Not saying I don't have problems or room to grow, but it sure helps to be joyfull and at peace. :)Allenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998933457283434204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-653123382424624252016-07-17T21:36:00.366-07:002016-07-17T21:36:00.366-07:00And if I am not welcome here please, jist say the ...And if I am not welcome here please, jist say the word and I won't bother you all with my messed up life. <br />I understand I am revolting to some folks. <br />And I understand, odd as that may be. :)Allenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998933457283434204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-16489756333319027772016-07-17T21:33:16.418-07:002016-07-17T21:33:16.418-07:00Yes, irt that older post I admit I am pretty messe...Yes, irt that older post I admit I am pretty messed up, lol.<br /><br />I will never be a leftist though so there is that. :)Allenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998933457283434204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-12095471448944129262016-06-02T18:35:22.850-07:002016-06-02T18:35:22.850-07:00I was alerted to this old post on Gender, Feminism...I was alerted to this old post on <a href="http://onecosmos.blogspot.com/2007/06/gender-feminism-and-nihilism.html" rel="nofollow">Gender, Feminism, and Nihilism</a> from my site meter.

All the seed from God is good. In this parable, the soil is good, but the seed differs. <br /><br />Sometimes the hindrance is more or less internal. The modern church -- my evangelical side of the aisle, anyway -- seems to understand that pretty well. I think we are less prepared to deal with the external evil around us. The Old Testament calls them "sons of Belial". Down home we call them "sons of bitches". There is some bad seed around us, and we need to be prayed up spiritually but also prepared physically to face it.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-79848940300852305412016-06-02T14:13:06.733-07:002016-06-02T14:13:06.733-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-71636378920830287082016-06-02T10:24:57.546-07:002016-06-02T10:24:57.546-07:00Incidentally, the Left tends to practice the very ...Incidentally, the Left tends to practice the very opposite of this parable. That is, from their perspective the tares would be any religious, traditionalist, or evidence-based ideas that challenge their position. They pull those tares with great vengeance, and little regard for any "good" seed that might be destroyed along the way. For instance, demanding a general withdraw from a university appointment because he is a "career military officer." Or, say, any of the episodes of mass murder used by various leftist regimes to weed out any dissidents.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-85006258734163464882016-06-02T09:49:23.562-07:002016-06-02T09:49:23.562-07:00There are tares enough in state subsidized college...<i>There are tares enough in state subsidized college, but just wait until it's free!</i><br /><br /><br />Along those lines, HappyAcres links this bit of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/02/opinion/building-childrens-brains.html" rel="nofollow">tareism</a> today. Bad enough that they propose to interfere in families <i>more</i> and <i>earlier</i>, their entire goal is to make "improvements" in children's lives so that all can live the dream of going to college. None of these assouls ever stop to ask whether universal college is something to be desired. <br /><br />It used to be that ordinary people could live a perfectly decent life with nothing more than a high school or even grade school education. Trades and factory work may not have the same glamorous appeal as more schooling and a near-useless diploma, but at least people had options. Somehow, though, that is no longer good enough; instead, everyone is expected to dream of bigger things, like a pile of non-dischargeable debt and a $15 per hour minimum wage job.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
