I am guilty of LUST . . .over your Ruger! Beautiful!

Leroy, this is one of the most meaningful statements I have ever read on TGO. I certainly do not feel I am "evil", but if I entertain thoughts that someone is "less" than myself because we do not agree about ANYTHING and as a result I begin to view them "less than", I am sowing the seeds that nurtured over time, may become evil. If we really believe that we are made in the image of God, all persons have intrinsic worth. There have been times on TGO when some have felt I was a "libetard whack job", but I have always been accorded respect and care even when we disagree. That is how at its most base level we "obstruct evil." At the very baseline of relationships, can we offer grace rather than judgment of one another? Martin Buber wrote a book called "I and Thou" and denoted there are two kinds of relationships. An "I/Thou" relationship is one where we view one another without judgment or qualification. An "I/It" relationship is where we view one another as a "thing." I vote for "I/Thou" . . .

The December cold snap killed all my shrubs so I need to start all over again. I live in South Nashville and am looking for a good landscaper to suggest new shrubs and replace all my dead ones. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

LET'S PARTY!

I think you are on to something here. More and more families are considering some form of home schooling or online instruction. The issues that we learned during COVID is the difficulty of getting children (especially littles) to engage/pay attention online and some parents were just not cut out to be "teachers at home." Still, if we were to have this discussion a year from now, I'll wager that some type of "hybrid" educational models will emerge.

Also applies to tornado watches:

Only the bears know what really happened . . .

Good point . . . as we used to say in East Tennessee, "he's nekkid" How bout this for an oldie: "Don't look, Ethel!"

That.is.impressive!
