Follow the Rules

I think there's a problem with the behavior of Christian Conservatives. I remember in my own fairly short life many times when we as a family prayed for our leaders, and for wisdom in the government, but that was only, as far as I can remember, when there was a conservative in office. Doesn't the Bible say pray for your enemies (even political ones)? Also, if you think that the opposite party has wrong ideas about governing, don't they need wisdom all the more? It seems to me that Christian Conservatives should pray for our leaders all the more when they are liberal. Let's not be sullen, and be like "Well, I don't like him, so I hope he fails, so I won't pray for him." That's rather immature, in my opinion.

Thought

Why do they put chlorine in pools, anyway? Polio isn't around anymore. Besides that, the only purpose it serves that I'm aware of is to burn my eyes and prevent me from swimming ungoggled.

New Topper and Lawn Mowing

First off, for the two've humans and three aliens who read this blog, I'm sure you've noticed the new picture on top. That is, in fact, me, the only time I ever attempted to straighten my hair. But anyway....

While mowing the lawn today, I had a realization, namely that mowing the lawn is an awful lot like being an older brother. When being a lawn mower, as with being an older brother, you are confronted with a bunch of pipsqueaks who don't know their place and who grow rampantly and out of place. As a mower/brother, you have to cut them down to size periodically, but not too often so that you don't kill them. Also, you have to cut them all equally so that none of them complain about unfairness. Both jobs are long and tiring. However, only one has effects which are so immediate and satisfying to behold.

Huzzah for Hebridean Mode!

One of my favorite Choir songs we've done all year. I might upload more at a later date, but enjoy this one for now.
