Luther says, "The law of God, the most salutary doctrine of life, cannot advance man on his way to righteousness, but rather hinders him." This means that God's commandments, while good and attractive, cannot save us or justify us. The law impedes us because we try so hard to keep it, but fail miserably.

Just little puff piece about our Occupy Palm Beach response to the debate
Just little puff piece about our Occupy Palm Beach response to the debate
BOCA RATON, Fla. —
Protesters from a number of niche groups lined the streets around Lynn University ahead of Monday night's final presidential debate.
About a dozen of them stood on Glades Road, calling for the candidates to talk about issues like militarization, Wall Street greed and the plight of the poor.
"(We want to hear about) a whole lot of issues that are not being brought up in the debates," Boca Raton resident Mike Budd said. "Sometimes they talk about important issues, but most of the time the debates shut the 99 percent.

A #sacredsunday thought to share:
A #sacredsunday thought to share:
People who are religious often do things that we find upsetting. We often blame it on the religiosity of those people. People who aren't religious often do things that upset us too. Some people blame it on their lack of religion.
We seem to overlook the simple fact that organisms are necessarily competitive. We all compete for space, food, money, power, attention, etc...
I originally intended to point out that this "scientific" fact should lead all people to the conclusion that "science" is obviously the cause of all our problems. I realized two things in regards to that idea. First, it's not all that funny. Second, it's not all that true. It's no more true than the "funny" posts about religion being the cause of all our problems.
So I propose that for SacredSunday and for #sciencesunday we all take on moment to consider an alternate approach. Why not consider cooperation instead of competition. Seriously, one moment to consider reaching out to another person or group instead of pushing them away. And tomorrow maybe give it another moment, or even two ?

Occupy Palm Beach will be at "Peace Corner" on Monday. (Glades/St.Andrews) our website is down (for now) but info will be up on the OPB pages on Facebook & G-positive soon. This is what democracy looks like. FTR: While we don't support any candidate or party, we do support the process. Debate is good. Let's hope we have a real one.

Do you want a president who is working hard for the country or one who is working hard for the country club ?
I hope that helps.

OH HELL NO!!!! I just got wind of this from a fan.
Westboro Baptist Church will be protesting SGT Donna Johnson's funeral at 10:15am Saturday Oct 13th at the Raeford Presbyterian Church, 128 Edinborogh Ave Raeford NC 28376. If you live close, please go & help the volunteers stand in line between WBC & the family. If you don't, please repost so others will know about it. SGT Johnson was killed in Khost, Afghanistan on Oct 1st by a suicide bomber. She has served our nation for 6 yrs. This was her 3rd deployment. She leaves behind her wife, Tracy.
I know if feels good to post important stuff on the internet. Probably nobody knows that Republicans are bad and Democrats are too. Don't get me started on the Libertarians, tea-peeps, Atheists and religious extremists. If we just post more, people will start to pay attention, right?

Naughty Naked Roomba
The Roomba chugged around the room
Picking up everything it could
Dog hair, dust bunnies
Specks of grass and bits of wood
I pondered its activity
Through beer goggle eyes
And though the little Roomba grew sexier
There was still something off besides its small size
That was a question for a more sober me
As to how so much junk could fit in its trunk
How it could whirl around all day
Doing nothing but sucking up funk
No
Today right now this second
The thing that concerned me
Was the fact that it was just so naked
And it didn't even care that I could see
Weren't these supposed to be our robot overlords?
Come to rule us with iron hands?
In my humble opinion
Before they do they should put on pants
It's not that the sight of spigots or sockets offend me
It just a respect thing is all
If I'm going to bend my knee to a superior race
Is it too much to ask that they wear pants while engineering our downfall?
It all made sense at the time
Or it may have been the beer and box of wine
But the next thing I knew I was rummaging in the dog box
Finding cute little canine Halloween costumes
And thinking I could somehow make them work
Without making that Roomba look like too much of a dork
How about this pumpkin....
No, too predictable for me
Maybe this little red crab costume
Oh yes! I almost forgot
When you squeeze the little claw it sings Under the Sea!
Stumbling after the racing Roomba
I caught up to it near the stairs
I kept a close eye on the cornered beastie
Just in case he tried to attack me unaware
In the end the Roomba put up little fight
As I snip snipped here and there
Adding little strips of duct tape to make it fit right
Satisfied I retired back to the drink next to my chair
I can only guess that the Roomba didn't like it very much though
Because when I woke up this morning
Passed out in the middle if my floor like I was dead
It was to the constant banging
Of a little red crab Roomba bouncing off my forehead

Someday we should try to learn from the past instead of about it. Almost a hundred year ago he made history. If you don't know the story you should look him up, or at least watch the movie. Regardless, you should consider the following.
(and no- it's not too long, read it)
"I'm a Democrat first, last, and all the time," he said—in January 1941 "liberty and freedom are so very precious that you do not fight and win them once and stop." They are "prizes awarded only to those peoples who fight to win them and then keep fighting eternally to hold them!"
York originally believed in the morality of America's intervention in World War I. By the mid-1930s, he looked back more critically: "I can't see that we did any good. There’s as much trouble now as there was when we were over there. I think the slogan 'A war to end war.' is all wrong." He fully endorsed American preparedness, but showed sympathy for isolationism in saying he would fight only if war came to America.
At times he was blunt: "I think any man who talks against the interests of his own country ought to be arrested and put in jail, not excepting senators and colonels."

He fully endorsed American preparedness, but showed sympathy for isolationism in saying he would fight only if war came to America.
At times he was blunt: "I think any man who talks against the interests of his own country ought to be arrested and put in jail, not excepting senators and colonels."
Someday we should try to learn from the past instead of about it. Almost a hundred year ago he made history. If you don't know the story you should look him up, or at least watch the movie. Regardless, you should consider the following.
(and no- it's not too long, read it)
"I'm a Democrat first, last, and all the time," he said—in January 1941 "liberty and freedom are so very precious that you do not fight and win them once and stop." They are "prizes awarded only to those peoples who fight to win them and then keep fighting eternally to hold them!"

With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying.

I understand how this would make some people uncomfortable. When I was in the army I felt a little squirmy during the invocations and suchlike. I have to wonder though if it's so important that you would demand that action be taken to protect your freedoms, would you also welcome the Westboro Baptists to cheer on the suicides ? They have freedoms too, right ?

This would be my "good morning" painting today:
"Challenging the abyss of humiliation". 48"×24", Oil on canvas, March 2012
Let it also be an early submission for #firstfridayartwalk for First Friday Art Walk , which will be happening this weekend. Wondering what it is -- it's a monthly exhibit of artworks organized by Samantha Villenave. Check her stream and the page for more details!

I thought about this one for a while and ran with it because even though The Progressive is often suspect and totally biased, the author has a reasonable reputation. Also he names locations and names and uses direct quotes rather than opinions and "it's been said".
Most importantly, I ran with it because in my opinion, the Romney Extremist is not so extreme compared to the r/l Romney supporters I know. Take a look at this please, Especially if you are planning to vote Republican this year.
