Musings of Erin

I’m back writing on this site - I know it’s been awhile. But, now we’re back and at ‘em!

Do you need to learn how to overcome Procrastination?

I think I’ll look it over later.

In response to a Dr. Laura Schlessinger broadcast in 2002 where she stated that homosexuality is ‘an abomination’ according to Leviticus 18:22, Jim pens an open letter on the internet:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

“As the galaxies brush one another, gravity wrenches at their shapes.The stars, dust and gas on the edges of the galaxy are drawn tremendous distances into space by the gravity of the passing galaxy. These huge streams of galactic material, called “tidal tails,” give birth to stars as the clouds of gas collapse under the pressure of the encounter.”

God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found Him resting on the seventh day. he inquired of God. “Where have you been?”

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction, and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”

Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, “What is it?”

“It’s a planet,” replied God, “and I’ve put Life on it. I’m going to call it Earth and it’s going to be a great place of balance.”

“Balance?” inquired Michael, “I’m still confused.”

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. “For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportu nity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor.

Over there I’ve placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things,” God continued pointing to different countries.

“This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.”

The Archangel, impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a land area and said “What’s that one?”

“Ah,” said God “That’s Washington State, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, plains, and coulees. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats, and carriers of peace.”

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, “But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance.”

God smiled, “There is another Washington… Wait til you see the idiots I put there.”

For those of you who follow my business blog as well (and probably those who don’t) you can tell I save all my shopping for one day about every three months. Probably because I’m not the biggest fan of shopping, and even more so because there’s so much crap to choose from.

HOWEVER, i’ve found this great site, GourmetGiftBaskets.com, that I just have to tell you about. Not for mother’s day - oh, no, that would be too hum-drum for us. No, here, they’re offering Fathers Day Gift Baskets! (No affiliate links here!)

On the other blog I mentioned the Golfer’s Gift Basket, and this one is the Fishing Gift Basket. I don’t know quite why I’m so enthralled with the idea… I guess it’s because I like the ‘basket theme’ this year. I wonder: have these been out forever and I’ve never found them?

What would you consider a wonderful, unique father’s day gift for the ‘average joe’?
