Dear Paul,

Talking about bad behaviour. My husband drove to our old
house (which we've recently sold) a couple of days ago
and was horrified to see that someone had tried to break in.
They managed to climb part of the fence and spray painted
messages in black paint on our shed in the backyard.
Well - it doesn't really matter that much to us - because
the people who've bought the house are going to demolish
everything and build their own on our property.

Mu husband fixed the fence and asked the agent to take down
the sold sign on the house which he did.

In the meantime my husband yesterday noticed that our
neighbours had put up a brand new fence which they had
painted in a lovely neutral colour - and low and behold -
the thugs had spray painted on their new fence as well.
In the same sort of writing and black paint as on our shed.

Our neighbours are pensioners - so this would have been
a big investment for them to build that fence. There's a
high school just down the street from us so my husband
suspects its the kids from the high school that did it.
But how do you prove anything?

So mean.

Hi Foxy,

Love 'street art' hate mindless graffiti.

While on story telling, you'll love this one, even those on the bones of their arse can have a sense of humour.

Walking to catch the train near Central Station Sydney one Saturday avo. As we approach a young Aboriginal guy and his girlfriend sitting on the pavement he says; "5 bucks for a cup of coffee"...I say what's happened to the good old dollar for a cuppa"? He says; "Inflation mate, who gets a cup of coffee for a dollars, besides I like a mug"...Being flippant I said; "Do you take Eftpos?"...."Sure do, got a machine in my pocket, got to keep up with the times". We had a good chat, missed our train, and Te gave them all the cash and coins she had on her, not a lot, but she does that. The young guy was a hoot, should have taken up a career as a comedian.

Dear Paul,

Great story.

I've got one for you as well.

I may have told this one a few years ago.

I remember the evening I was on my way to class when
I got stopped by a student in a tunnel near the railway
who came up behind me and held something in my back
that felt like a gun asking me for my money. Strangely
I wasn't scared and told him I didn't have much - but
he could have it except to leave me enough for a cup of
coffee because I had double lectures that night one
after the other.

He did leave me enough - took my money and went on his way.
Well I saw him on campus the next day carrying a huge
portfolio of art work. He did not recognise me. I
recognised him though. But of course I did nothing more.
I suspect he was zonked out the previous evening. His
eyes had been glassy. I was lucky not to have been
mugged - but it was weird that I wasn't at all scared.

Some facts about the Christian scripture.

Had the Bible been written by a single person at a single time, the sheer amount of cross-references [63,779] would be amazing. However, the reality that the Bible was written by forty human authors over the span of 1500 years on three different continents in three different languages points to the jaw-dropping reality of the Bible’s divine inspiration.

The Bible is complex, diverse, and intricate, and yet it has one unified message: God lovingly forgives, redeems, and changes all sinners who accept Jesus as their Saviour for the purpose of His glory!

Just Google world terrorist attacks by Muslims and you’ll see that the Muslims are by far the most dangerous religious mob today.

Is Mise,

I've already done my research on that subject.
There are fundamentalists and extremists in
every religion as we all know. My religion
tells me not to judge people. I take them as I find them.
