Has anyone thought that a plausible explanation for rats eating each other after a good cleaning is that a dirty scungy rat just isn’t quite so appetizing?

A nice well scrubbed pink little squirmer on the other hand… well… probably tastes just like chicken.

This morning, our pastor preached a message titled, “Time To Clean House,” from Colossians 3:15-21.  Under two main headings, “The Atmosphere of Our Homes” and “The Application of Our Hearts,” he stressed the need for all Christians to make sure that how we act at home matches up with Scripture.  Let me encourage you to listen to our pastor’s messages online by clicking HERE to visit the church’s web site.

Okay, I promise this is the last dock I will post this summer. However, having, myself, just stepped out of the boat onto one and driving past hundreds of them today, know just what they mean to the landscape. And, docks have quite a lot of impact, both visually and ecologically speaking. I have seen several wanky, crooked and ugly ones today in many stages of obtrusiveness and dilapidation. This photograph inspires me. Simply nice.
