I have great respect for people that live off the land and do their best to remain free in today's world, however, the atypical rhetoric from someone like Phil Robertson is...well just consider the source...he's made his family famous by first creating a duck call that others were too lazy to make, got a show on TV which made him and family celebs...etc and so on. Good for him. Doesn't make his opinion any better than anyone else's. Frankly, if I were the producer of the show, he would have been fired along with the whole lot of 'em...birds of a feather and all...and not because I'm anti-Christian, but because he's a loose canon and I'm anti-bigot. What's he going to say next about some other group of people? Just because he has all his ducks in a row doesn't mean he is wise, creative or intelligent for that matter. I agree totally with Fawzo on this, the outrage against what he said was/is not anti-Christian it is 100% anti-ignorance. Blessings Be,

Thanks Dan, I do appreciate the acknowledgment and Mom seems to be very accepting of the way things have gone. While she insists she's in no hurry to join up with Dad again, she wouldn't be "disappointed" if things went that direction. Glad to see you back around. Thank you Rev Rainbow, I appreciate the support. As always you and yours remain in my thoughts as well...hope all is doing better. Glad to see you back around for a visit as well. I talked to Mom last night and she continues to hang in there! Blessings of Peace, -
I agree, how the "s/he has a job" somehow equates to "they are honest and forth right, above reproach" I don't get. When two teens, from the family side of our complex (senior/family housing) were caught in the act of burglarizing, the parents insisted it couldn't be their kids because they both had jobs. It was rumored the father of one even hired a PI to investigate how stolen property got into his shed in back yard. When this happened almost 2 years ago we had a string of burglaries 15+ over 3 months, since these two were caught, there have been 2 (27 months) and both were across from "gangland" an area of complex that borders a gang filled neighbor outside our complex. Even in court the parents insisted "false charges" to "near failing grades at school" because of their hard work...one at a printing shop 12 hours per week, one at a fast food place 20 or so hours per week, which is now closed (Sonic on Bellvue) and also had many thefts while the young man was there...hmmm. However, that is a small percentage of the hardworking, honest kids that are legit. It's only good that teens learn young how to budget time and money, needs vs. wants. A job while in high school* is a great way to learn that. Working prepares kids for the real world as that is what most of the populace will have to do for the rest of their lives. Where they learn the qualities of honesty, compassion and sharing, well, that's more of a family and parenting thing. I think it's great that parents and peers of working kids recognize the efforts of our hardworking youth, as long as the pedestal they build isn't scraping the heavens. Blessings of Peace, *I too have worked since I was 15, well 13 if you include the paper route, and from parents only received a $3/week allowance for yard maintenance chores and various things around the house. Even when top of the line Revell and AMT models were a mere $2 + $1.50 for paint and sandpaper/tools etc (and I built several per month) I had to support my "habit" from what I earned....then there was the tricked out bicycles....and then first car. It all came from a job, not 40 hours per week at a Playstation™ or Wii™.

Ray, Interesting perspective and certainly things I didn't know about the Catholic confession. In the future, it would be great if you would also post the site or source of this info somewhere at the beginning or end of articles. Copyright acknowledgment and author credit is only right and proper. I do have a question though, how do you connect AC/DC and Black Sabbath to the Confessional? Be Well,
