Update XIX: Melancholy and the Infinite Napping

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Let me reiterate, guys, I am not scared of death, nor should I be.  Nathan, I believe one can know definitively about their own salvation.  God doesn't want us to live in fear and wonder all our lives IF we will go to heaven or not.  He gives us the ability and the grace to know that we know that we know where we will spend eternity.  God is not the author of fear.  He is the author of peace.  The hymn says "Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine.  O what a foretaste of glory divine.  Heir of salvation, purchase of God.  Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.  This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long.  This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long."  That hymn tells it like it is.  That doesn't sound like fear and wonder to me, that sounds like complete assurance and absolute peace.

Carrying a living hope rather than a dead certainty is not 'fear', Bushie, it's just humility.

Look at this response.  Nathan, you might be irritated with how I go about being anti-religion or irreligious... but please tell me you at least "get it".

Yeah. I do. Bushie's beliefs make strange bedfellows.

A reasonable Christian (not Bushie) could justify living past 40 by spreading the Good Word to people who actually need to hear it, instead of - quite literally - preaching to the choir all the time. Of course, all Bushie spreads are his grotesque legs apart on the La-Z-Boy after eating 3,000 calories and before watching 10 hours of people beating the crap out of each other. I can't possibly figure out what use God would have in Heaven for someone who merely pays him lip service, does nothing to spread the tenets of his faith in a meaningful way, chronically sins without actually acknowledging his wrongdoings and addressing them, and spends literally all of his free time lounging around like a sloth.

Lest you forget, he goes on mission trips to 90% Christian Kenya.  You ain't had Jesus until you had Jesus from the white.

Are you referring to yourself and Bushie both being classified as "Christians"? 

[Joe Republic]

Bushie, what ever happened to that $58 guidebook on how to pass the USPS application process?  Gathering dust already?  Or are its pages lining the floor of Blondie/J.J.'s kennel?

[Joe Biden 2020]

Joe, the post office application is gathering dust in my Tulsa apartment.  It didn't even make the trip down to OKC.

Today, my main project is to clean out my car.  It's supposed to be 72 degrees today, so I can't use the cold as an excuse.  It's windy, but its always windy in Oklahoma.  I will watch some football today, but it won't be my only thing to do today.  I may go bowling with a good friend of mine this evening, depending on how he feels.  I want to get that 9 taste out of my mouth!

I just weighed this morning - two days after Thanksgiving and three days after I last weighed and I came in at 287 1/2.  I haven't gained anything from the feast.  I even ate some healthy turkey in the process.  Last night, though, Mom, Dad, and I went out for Mexican food to On the Border.  I didn't gain anything from that, either, apparently.

That, and you and I both being classified as 'people who are appalled by Bushie's bullsh**t piety'.

At 45 BMI, there's pretty much no room to gain. Any higher and you won't even be able to make it to the scale for weighing as you won't be able to walk.

It's good that Bushie has friends other than his parents and grandmother. 

An Update victory for sure.

Bowling scores tonight were much better.  100, 107, and 129.  We nearly finished a fourth game, but time ran out.

Bowling is Bushie's favorite exercise because the place smells like fast food and it costs money.

What did you eat while there?

What did you eat while there?

I ate a cheeseburger before I bowled, which I quickly worked off by bowling 38 frames.  It was the first substantial meal I have had all day.  I'm hungry now, but I will wait till breakfast.

It takes 90 minutes of bowling, 1 frame after another, to lose 500 calories. You, did not burn it off bowling. Nice attempt though.
