    I read a newspaper story years ago that has stuck with me. A guy was fishing and his line snagged an old piece of pipe with some wires coming out of it. On a whim, he touched the wires to the battery terminals in his boat. Well, it was a pipe bomb (probably made for illegal stunning of fish) and it blew up in his face and injured him quite badly, but he survived. Telling the reporter about it he said, "I remember thinking just before I touched those wires to the battery, 'maybe this isn't such a good idea.'"

    If we're honest with ourselves, don't we usually know it when we're about to do something stupid? If only we were better at acting on that knowledge instead of ignoring it and making the mistake anyway. But like Chuff said, maybe as we get older we do eventually learn to pay more attention. I like to think I avoid at least some of the mistakes I probably would have made when I was younger.

    Thank you Ordinary Guy for your post. It says a lot. It is better not to ignore your instincts, because when you do it usually means trouble. Thank you again for your post.

    Yes, ordinaryguy. I too would like to thank you for your post.

    Allheart, I need a hug, too. And you are so good at it. Lol

    Jesushelper76, Thank you for the topic. I have had a good nights sleep, no dreams of sitting on the loo, so I think we did okay. Lol

    31pumpkin, sweetie, try to be a little more open minded. Never assume you know everything about yourself and the world you live in - you might be missing something very important. God is good. God is in you and all around you. You simply need to broaden your horizons a little.

    Thoughts are things and they affect everything else so it just stands to reason that if enough of us send loving thoughts to the entire world, someone might pick up on it and put down their gun. Ya Think?:confused:

    Good for you, Magman! You've mellowed a lot since you wrote this two and a half weeks ago. (Jehovah or Allah, post #44):

All I can tell you is that we need to kill them before they try to kill us and I will be the first in the trench to do just that.

    No, I haven't melloed a bit when it comes to someone that wants to kill me. I'll do my best to kill them first. If I thought we could simply send out thoughts of love and end all our problems I would do it in a heart beat but, not enough people would get involved since there are so many people that would rather stir the poop that clean it up. Like you for instance. At any rate, I haven't changed my stance. FIRM BUT FAIR. I will protect me and mine even if it means killing some one to do it. So go hug your favorite tree and think about that for awhile.

    Hmmm, Not melloe at all.

    Too bad really, we could use more love in the world, not hate.

    Your just as bad as the rest of them, the ones that stir the poop.
