 PAW'S PLACE
I have moved the Place... yep, here I am.... gonna just chill... no political crap... no fusses... just back to basics.
So come around if ya care to... you are welcome... BYOC (Bring Your Own Cup) and sit a spell:
Coffee Break at Paw's:
"Who's The Enemy?"
"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35
Our brothers and sisters in the Lord are not our enemies. Even if they were we are to love and pray for them (Matthew 5:44). David (who was a type and shadow of Christ) said that he fasted and prayed for his enemies when they were sick- he denied his own self for their sake (Psalm 35:13). And Jesus Himself prayed for the Father to forgive those who were crucifying Him - His enemies (Luke 23:34).
The Bible tells us that the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. (Matthew 11:12) So there is some "fighting" we must do (spiritual warfare), but not against each other. We have a very real enemy who is out to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10a) ("For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12) As long as we are busy fighting against each other, then we won't lock shields together and join arm in arm to fight against him. And if we aren't fighting against him then he can go unhindered about the business of destroying people's lives without anyone to stand in his way.
I know that not everyone, or every "group", who calls them self a Christian is a true brother or sister in the Lord-- there has to be recognition of that fact and what is wrong and in error has to be dealt with so that others will not fall into the same deception. But those who are of the family of God, those who have been bought with the blood of Jesus, those who have given their lives to Him--- are not our enemies and we need to recognize that fact and start operating as the "body of Christ"- each member supplying to the next, each one doing it's part, each one receiving from the Head (which is Christ) and functioning as a whole "person". This is not a time for there to be divisions among us.
Have a great day. One can put a thousand to flight... two can put ten thousand to flight. (Deuteronomy 32:30)

Posted this, but wanted to be sure PP folks saw it.... funny but... well, I loved Truman (my first president of memory):
HARRY TRUMAN HONOR IN POLITICS
"The Buck Stops Here."
"It doesn't matter how big a ranch Ya own, or how many cows ya' brand,
The size of your funeral is still gonna to depend on the weather." Harry Truman.
When President Truman retired from office in 1952, His income was
Substantially a U.S. Army pension reported to have Been $13,507.72 a year.
Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps And personally licking them,
Granted him an "allowance" and, later, a Retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.
When offered corporate positions at large Salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't
Want me. You want the office of the president, and That doesn't belong to me. It
Belongs to the American people and it's not For sale."
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was Preparing to award him the
Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to Accept it, writing, "I don't
Consider that I have done anything which should be The reason for any award,
Congressional or otherwise."
We now see that other past presidents, have found a new level of success
In cashing in on the presidency, resulting in Untold wealth. Today, many in
Congress also have found a way to become quite Wealthy while enjoying the
Fruits of their offices. Political offices are now For sale.
Was good old Harry Truman correct when he Observed, "My choice early in
Life was either to be a piano player in a Whorehouse or a politician. And to
Tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. I, for one, believe the piano
Player job to be much more honorable than current Politicians.

Re: Paw's Place
An old prospector walks his tired old mule into a western town one day. He'd
been out in the desert for about six months without a drop of whiskey.
He walked up to the first saloon he came to and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there brushing some of the dust from his face and
clothes, a young gunslinger walked out of the saloon with a gun in one hand
and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, 'Hey old man, have you ever danced?'
The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, 'No, I never did dance. I
just never wanted to.'
A crowd had gathered by then and the gunslinger said, 'Well, you old fool,
you're gonna' dance now' and started shooting at the old man's feet. The old
prospector was hopping around and everybody was laughing.
When the gunslinger fired his last bullet, he holstered his gun and
turned around to go back into the saloon. The old man reached up on the
mule, drew his shotgun and pulled both hammers back making a double
clicking sound. The gunslinger heard the sound and everything got quiet. The
crowd watched as the gunslinger slowly turned around looking down both
barrels of the shotgun.
The old man asked, 'Did you ever kiss a mule's ass?'
The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, 'No. But I've always wanted to.'
The lessons from this story are:
1. Don't waste ammunition.
2. Don't mess with old people
