“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others." Matthew 6:5

@Lillie: Thee is an unauthorized biography of El Ron (I forget the author's name) titled Bare-Faced Messiah.  He said so many times that founding a religion was the easiest way to become a millionaire in the USA.  He was right.  It was certainly more lucrative than writing pulp fiction, which is how he started out.  I think his WWII military record is mostly fiction.

As for Tebow...that self-righteous, arrogant S.O.B....I wish smoke, or some kind of vapor would pour out of his ears while he's doing his act in public so that the whole world can see what's really happening....

Actually, I'd like to see that happen to everybody who gets their jollies by praying in public.

@ Lillie Fleur Yeah, you'd think that a guy would have more sense than to get down on one knee and close his eyes in the middle of a field where a bunch 200 lb guys wearing helmets, body armor, and cleats are running around.

Have been watching the Olympic trials all of this week and god is very popular among the athletes.  Some even do a Tim Tebow.  (I am so sick of Tim Tebow.  I am hoping New York will take the wind out of his sails.)

Apparently, Scientology begins indoctrinating kids at age 5 so this must have motivated Katie to make the break at this time.  She was raised Catholic so it is a wonder she joined Scientology in the first place.  Of course, they are both big on fantasy.

Something posted on the news during our olympics 2010 was a comment from a Virginian, when asked what memory he'd take back home with him from here, was the fact we all get along with each other....no matter what ethnicity, etc.

booklover, The friend who sent that Canadian flag-thing to me picked it up from FB (I don't "do" FB...tried it several years ago, heard from so many people...classmates...that I never liked, that I unsubscribed after the first week.). One characteristic of Canadians that isn't mentioned on that goodie is that they are sincerely polite. 

For instance, when two lanes of traffic have to merge into one lane, they actually take turns...one at a time.  They don't try to cut other drivers off, and there's no bird-flipping at the driver who needs to merge in front of them.  They just quietly let them in instead of crowding them over to the shoulder.  I don't think the arrogant, self-involved GOP me-firsters could tolerate that.

As for fireworks shows, I wish I could invite everyone in here who has been sufferiing from the unseasonable heat to my home (in Burbank, CA) for the 4th of July. The days have been a tad too warm, but the evenings and nights are still cool, and the Chamber of Commerce puts on a great show from a park in the hills directly above us.  Some of our neighbors bring folding chars and snacks (and beer...and soft drinks), and we party on the front lawn, because our house is on a corner, and we have the best line-of-sight on the block.  Don't even really need chairs; I usually sprawl on the crabgrass.  (No porta-potties, tho.  You'd better take care of that before you leave home.  The show only lasts half an hour, anyway.)  We all Ohhhh and Ahhhh, and applaud, and just have fun.

The people who actually drive (or take a bus) up to the park can also enjoy a concert and other festivities, but I like being with my neighbors.  We've all lived here for decades.

sk8eycat, I saw that on FB yesterday, HILARIOUS!!!!  Seriously, what morons.

HOT weekend here and I'm sure lots of places.  Fireworks tonight @ a club Hubby belongs to, but working in the heat all week he doesn't know if he wants to have to sit outside in the heat (have to get there early to park and sit with friends/family.)  Both 'kids' (almost 18 and a 20-yr. old) will be home tonight and want to go with us, so I sort-of want to go.  Down side is...Port-A-Potties. UGH.  Have a great weekend everyone! ~Melinda

Anyone who knows anything about the ElRonners, and still stays with it has to be blind.
