Bible thumping on Facebook

Yesterday I concluded my blog post with “Who knows, I could be sitting here a millionaire”.  To Alex, who wondered how the Lotto went I can say .... lightly stick tongue between lips and say prrrrrrr.  Translation ... I’m as poor today as I was yesterday.  So I guess it’s back to work for me on Monday.

How long have I been playing Lotto?  Years.  I always play with the same numbers, birthdays in combination with car number of NASCAR drivers.  The positive side of always playing with the same number is that I don’t have to think about them, I know them by heart.  The negative side is, should I ever skip a week of playing and my numbers come up, I’m going to kick myself from here to kingdom come.

Speaking of kingdom come ... had some aggravation on Facebook today.  Dawn K posted the following message ...

To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice: "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz." While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for any of his relatives; Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheating-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, , Goodfornothingaz, Lazyaz, and especially his third cousin Beatinyouaz. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yoaz.

If you ask me, Dawn is not exactly in touch with current affairs.  If she was she would know that girls are not nearly as much in a hurry to get married as they used to be.  These days girls use their head and live with the guy first to see how things work.  You could say they’re taking their boyfriends for a test drive.
All things considered a smart move.  Would you buy a car without taking it for a drive first? 

Dawn didn’t like my comment.  I didn’t see anything wrong with it, especially since she listed all the mistakes a girl can make. 

All in all I don’t like people, and it’s usually women, who make religious postings.  There’s a time and a place for everything and Facebook is not the place to preach.  I used to have a friend who was a reverend and never in all the years that I knew him did we talk about religion.  He researched and wrote his sermons in his study; he preached in his church; he gave guidance to those who sought it; but he never pushed his religion on anyone.

Dawn K along with her Bible thumping, pillar biting women could learn a thing or two from him.
