The Master's Vessel The Master was searching for a vessel to use; On the shelf there were many - which one would He choose? Take me, cried the gold one, I'm shiny and bright, I'm of great value and I do things just right. My beauty and luster will outshine the rest And for someone like You, Master, gold would be the best! The Master passed on with no word at all. He looked at a silver urn, narrow and tall; I'll serve You, dear Master, I'll pour out Your wine And I'll be at Your table whenever You dine, My lines are so graceful, my carvings so true, And my silver will always compliment You. Unheeding, the Master passed on to the brass. It was wide mouthed and shallow, and polished like glass. Here! Here! cried the vessel, I know I will do, Place me on Your table for all men to view. Look at me, called the goblet of crystal so clear, My transparency shows my contents so dear, Though fragile am I, I will serve You with pride, And I'm sure I'll be h...

Holy crap...this movie sucks. I mean, that was my initial reaction when it ended anyway. I should have known when Jennifer Lawrence was promoting the movie. She basically told us that she would be doing nude scenes so go see it for that. Now, if that is what the selling point is...well it can't be good, right? Anyway, in this turd, JLaw plays a Russian ballerina who breaks her leg and has to become a sparrow to keep the apartment where she resides with her mother. If you have seen The Americans you know that a sparrow has to do whatever it takes to get information. A main part of "whatever it takes" is sex, of course. So, she learns how to use sex to get info. For a movie that was promoted around nudity and is about a sparrow, there is not much sex in the movie...or maybe I was looking at my phone during those scenes.  In any case, she gets involved in deep spy stuff and madness most certainly ensues. I was hoping for a Basic Instinct type of movie but that is an a...

A box full of kisses! Some time ago, a man punished his young daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became angry when the child  tried to  decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the girl brought the gift to her father on Christmas day and said, “This is for you, daddy.” The man became embarrassed by his overreaction a few days before, but his rage continued when he saw that the box was empty. He yelled at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a gift, there’s supposed to be something inside?” The little girl looked up at her dad with tears in her eyes and cried; “Oh, daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you, daddy.” The father was devastated. He put his arms around his daughter, and begged for her forgiveness. A little while later, the girl died in an accident. Her father kept the gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was feeling down, he would tak...

The mouse trap A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it." The mouse turned to the pig and told him "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said "Wow, Mr....
