  As a kid, going camping was the most wonderful thing I could imagine. This was real po'folk camping. we had no tent, we brought bedding from off the beds at home and put them down on the ground. We brought the cooking utensils, pots and skillet that we used everyday at home. We would leave the San fernando Valley when Dad got off work on Friday evening and drive about a hundred miles into the Sierra Mtns. Usually, Kern River, picking out a campsite by the car headlamps. We would make a big pallet of bedding and go to sleep looking at the Milky Way. When my sister and I woke up Sat morning Dad and Mom would have a fire going and be frying potatoes and onions, a little bacon and some eggs....Great memories.

  Today, I want plumbing, hot water and a bed at least 18 in. off the floor.

  just for fun, i tried double drop d tuning on the resonator to see what it would sound like.

  it was interesting, i was concocting new chords as i went along, and having a blast.

  i might try composing some of my own music in this tuning.. btw, your mind is in the gutter if not in the guitar.. jk.

  i was considered "exemplary" but i defintely liked my drinking with my other fellow examples.. porn was never a terrible thing to me.

  i looked.. throwing in a few extra hours and placements worked pretty well for me too..

  I wasn't baptized yet, but as a boy of 10 I pulled a thumbtack out of the butcher paper that covered the benches we sat on and when the large bottomed sister setting next to me came back from the loo, I put it under her butt, point up. I remember a strange thrill when she sat on it and jumped up. I kept my eyes dead ahead, absorbing the spiritual food.

  Being publicly religious is a lot like being a NUDIST

  by Terry in

  2. experiences

  nudists let it all hang out.. "look at me!

  " is their motto.. being the center of attention doesn't bother them as much as it encourages them to be all they can be...in full public view.. .

  in fact, exhibitionism is at the core of this personality.

  Putting on a public display of ones piety is sanctimonious ( hypocritically pious or devout ), it does not draw attention to God, it draws attention only to the person doing the public display, being embracing for those present. Jesus understood and said so. This is also true of a lot of religions besides fundamentalist christians. What else would you call going around with ashes on your forehead on ash wednesday, or wearing a burka all your life? Or having a dot painted between your eyes? Terry is right - these are expressions of religious exhibitionism. I think they actually cheapen the religion they are supposed to be promoting. Good point Woods. I would only add, gangsters beating the shit out of a victim with a gold crucifix around their neck...

  For people who are tolerant, but neutral, the TEBOW STUFF IS COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. I can respect anyones beliefs that don't involve suicide bombing. But, sports celebrities who try to use their bully pulpit for WITNESSING, can kiss my ass.
