SEE "RED AND ROVER" FOR TODAY

Sunday May 4, 2008
A LOT OF TIMES HUMOR HELPS US TO SEE SERIOUS SUBJECTS IN A MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN BE LESS FEARFUL AND AND ASSESS THEM IN A LESS THREATENING SETTING...THIS CARTOON IS A EXCELLENT EXAMPLE...MOST OF US LIVE OUR LIVES IN A WORLD CONSTRUCTED OF WHAT WE WANT IT TO BE AND NOT THE REALITY OF WHAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT UNTIL CIRCUMSTANCES ARE TAKEN OUT OF OUR CONTROL...WE ALL LEARN AND GROW AT OUR OWN PACE...AGING AND GROWING THROUGH TIME IS FINITE...GROWING UP AND LEARNING FROM OUR EXPERIENCES IS AN OPTION OF CHOICE...I CAN STILL REMEMBER ALL THE FANTASTIC ADVENTURES I HAD IN THE VARIOUS BOXES OF MY CHILDHOOD...NEWSPAPER PIRATE HATS, TOWEL SUPERHERO CAPES, STICK SWORDS AND LASER GUNS...MIGHTY BROOMSTICK STAFFS OF WIZARDLY POWER...I WAS THE AWESOME PROTECTOR OF EVERYTHING FROM MY BATHTUB TO THE FAR REACHES OF THE GALAXY...ALL WAS RIGHT WITH THE UNIVERSE UNTIL..."THEY CAME"...NOTHING IN MY MIGHTY ARSENAL HAD ANY EFFECT...EVEN MY SUPER SECRET PSYCHIC POWERS COULD NOT MAKE ANY DENT IN THEIR UNSTOPPABLE ADVANCE INTO MY WORLD...EVEN GOD, WHAT I KNEW OF HIM, SEEMED TO TOLERATE THEIR PRESENCE WITH COMPLETE INDIFFERENCE...I FOUGHT BRILLIANT HEROIC BATTLES AND SOME TIMES MY DEFEAT AND SUBMISSION WAS MORE THAN I COULD BARE...SLOWLY I BEGAN TO SEE THAT SOME OF MY FAILURES WERE ACTUALLY NOT SO BAD AND I COULD ACCEPT THEM AND ADAPT THEM TO MY CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT THE PLANET...EVEN GOD SEEMED TO ACCEPT THE AWFUL THINGS I WAS MADE TO DO...TODAY I AM TOTALLY GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WHO ONCE FILLED ME WITH DREAD AND FEAR...THEY TAUGHT ME ABOUT A WORD I ALSO NOW UNDERSTAND MORE FULLY..."WISDOM"...I WANT TO THANK MY PARENTS, MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, AND EVERYONE WHO HELP ME REALIZE SOME IMPORTANT LESSONS...MY CLUMSY EFFORTS IN MY CHILDHOOD BOX HAVE AND ARE BECOMING PURPOSE DRIVEN ASSAULTS ON THE EVIL DOERS OF AN ENEMY THAT IS TRYING TO KEEP THE UNIVERSE FROM KNOWING THERE IS A MIGHTY LORD I SERVE WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL...MY HEART IS THE VESSEL I NEED TO STEER MY TRUE COURSE...WITH JESUS AS MY COPILOT IT IS EASY TO TURN MY BOX AWAY FROM THE DARK THINGS I NEED NOT FEAR OR ENTER...BEAM ME UP FATHER...
