They say Homo...homini...lupus. [No, it's not about gays.]
But wolves were wolves (not werewolves) to wolves?
Or rather wolves are brothers (or enemies) to other wolves, as needed.

ALPHA MALE: For now, lay your troubles on my shoulders, brother. Your head, too.
But remember: I am the Alpha Male, until proven otherwise.
BETA MALE: That day will come... Enjoy while you can!
ALPHA MALE: I heard that there is a gorgeous She-Wolf in Italy, called Lupa Capitolina. She adopted two human puppies, Romulus and Remus.
BETA MALE: Well, I heard there's another great one, in the Hollywood Wilderness: Lupa Angelina. She adopted many more humans.
ALPHA MALE: Yeah, she would be a great ALPHA FEMALE in our wolfpack, but I hear that she is involved with a Hill Billy Bob Cat...no, with a Great Dane Cook...no, with an Inverted Jenny (no, that's a rare stamp)...no! With a glorious non-basterd (purebred) American Pitt Bull, a cum laude braduate of The Fight Club Chez Vicks. Lupa Angelina is "out of our forest". Furrrrr-getaboutit!
A great card, must add this on my want list.

Hi Dorin,
ReplyDeleteDon Morrison here. Just to let you know that I received your postcard today (01/23/10), and I thank you for contributing to my one million count.
About your paradox: "
If God is almighty, can He create a boulder so big that not even He can move?"
I can not speak for God. I can only share my experiences with Him, and there have been many.
The short answer to your paradox is "Yes". All things are possible with God; although, you have to understand that He sets his own limits.
For instance, he gave all people the free will to decide if they want to interact as a companion with Him.
He also says He cannot dwell in the presence of sin.
The list goes on and on, but it is His choice to set His limits.
The boulder would not have to be even as large as a grain of sand. If He sets His limits to not be able to move the boulder, then it would be so.
Of course what He creates He can also un-create; although His word is unchanging.
I can only tell you that God brought me through surviving criminal and abusive parents. He brought me through 10.5 years in an abusive orphanage. He brought me through 10.5 years of the Viet Nam era without a scratch. He brought me through a triple bypass. And He still allows me to breathe and live today that I might be able to chat with friends such as yourself.
I can only thank Him for being a part of my life. Everything else I learned to leave to Him, and He has never let me down.
I thought maybe your paradox was just a tongue-in-cheek remark, but I did not want to take the chance that you do not actually understand how He blesses all of mankind.
May God continue to bless you and all of your endeavors, Don
P.S. I'm going to follow your blog just because I find both it and you to be very interesting.
