Ry Ry-- I love how my siblings all choose fanciful names for themselves when commenting on the blog. Never heard of Mathew Henry but that's a cool quote. And, thanks for pointing us back to the sermon on the mount, which is the clearest statement of "upside down values" we have. John– snicker, snicker.

Great picture. So everybody's fine if God isn't personal. True in alot of ways. Found something by chance in Mathew Henry commentary on Luke 16:16: "Some give this sense of it; they derided Christ or speaking in contempt of riches, for, thought they, were there not many promises of riches and other temporal good things in the law and the prophets? And were not many of the best of God’s servants very rich, as Abraham and David? "It is true,’’ saith Christ, "so it was, but now that the kingdom of God is begun to be preached things take a new turn; now blessed are the poor, and the mourners, and the persecuted.’’ Dude, allegory is so deep sometimes.

Miss Okra? I once dated a Miss Crab Fest. Please hold your jokes. “It’s a different story when Miss Okra descends from her now slightly squished and oozy chair to personally choose candy for each member of the crowd.”
