Things that sound dirty in Star Wars (but aren't):
"Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?"
"Put that thing away before you get us all killed."
"You've got something jammed in here real good."
"Aren't you a little short for a Storm Trooper?"
"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought."
"Look at the size of that thing!"
"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."
"Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?"
"Hurry up, golden-rod..."
"Hey, point that thing someplace else."
"I look forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master."
"I never knew I had it in me."
"Grab me, Chewie. I'm slipping -- hold on. Grab it, almost... you almost got it. Gently now, all right, easy, easy, hold me Chewie."
"She's gonna blow!"
"I think you'll fit in nicely."
"Rise, my friend."
“Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care WHAT you smell!”
“ You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home!”
“And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!”

3 Peaks Challenge for the Carers Trust
Malcolm and Helen have started the challenge today.
"Ben Nevis started at 5.30 and completed in 5 hours 15 mins so 15 mins behind schedule! Fingers crossed the traffic is now kind and we can be at Scarfell in less than 6 hours!! We're flipping knackered but very fired up for the next one!! "
I'll keep you all posted, but thanks again for the contribution to Helen's fundraiser!
Days of Joy - Give Thanks!

Good morning, Digital Neighbors! Happy Saturday! Words of wisdom from someone wiser than I. Happy Saturday my friends! - Padre
GIVE THANKS
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Days of Joy - Remembering Judy (Sept)
Easter Reflections
Good morning, Digital Neighbors! Happy Friday my friends! Obviously, I forgot to post this yesterday, but here it is today!!! Yippie Skippie!
Sometimes you only get to know people for a short while, but they leave a lasting memory and mark on your soul. God has blessed me with a gift for accepting many people where they are in life. It is not a 100% since there are attitudes, behaviors and looks that I can find off-putting or irritating. I’ll be the first to say that when I encounter people espousing the current cultural idiocy we call “WOKE” I don’t have any patience for it. Believe what you want, but I want no part of it. Shake the dust off my feet, pray for their well-being and move on. If they ever come back, welcome them back to reality. As my good friend Randy says: “I don’t do stupid.”
Another person who did not do stupid was Sept. I met Judy through Rubin Report in July of 2020. She joined Locals that month and noticed my early morning posts. We started having these conversations by post in the morning. I was just reviewing some of them, I was so blessed to know. I am ever thankful she started commenting on my posts and it opened the door to our friendship.

Good morning, Digital Neighbors! Happy Thursday my friends! The quote below has been on my office door since I became a pastor in 2004, but I first encountered Riat Snowden in the mid 90’s and always appreciated her prayers. Enjoy!
