Some Kind Of Sign
At our daughter's birthday party recently, our son and his wife gave us a souvenir cross that they picked up for us when they were in Mexico for their honeymoon a couple weeks ago. It's about 6 inches high by maybe 4 inches wide, so it was sticking out of my shirt pocket all night. When our granddaughter noticed it, she asked "Hey Papa, where'd you get the big peace sign?"
At first I thought, "Ha ha! It's not a peace sign, silly! It's a cross!" But then it hit me. And she had no idea how profound that was.

Hello ... checking bloggers with Josie Wales interests ... seems like we have quite a few ! Hope you and your loved ones are well and safe . Yes , the cross is a comfort for those clothed in His righteousness ... a peace that passeth understanding . But we remember , with much wisdom comes much sorrow . Yet we must embrace the whole of the Word . May Christ bless and guide . Luke 12 : 51 - 53 .
I reckon so...
Me and a a guy that I used to work with, we'd spend a lot of time slinging lines from Josey Wales at each other, with the challenge being for the other guy to spout the line that followed it. Pretty fun.
Peace to you man.
" ... the hell with them guys , buzzards gotta eat , same as worms . " ;) later !
What an excellent scene! Poor old Abe, with Josey's spit running down his forehead. He creeps me out every time he says, "Nice and slow, so I can count the hairrrrrrrs on that hand."
Ya gotta wonder if the buzzards even ate him!
Ha ! The way you wrote " hairrrs " , I could hear that fellas voice ! " whooped 'em again , eh Josey ?! Whooped 'em again boy ." " You get them holes to leakin' again , I'm gonna whoop ya with a knotted plow line ." ( Ha ! this is kinda hard to stop , aint it ?! Give you the last go if'n ya want ! ) Later ...
My old man had a red 65 or 66 GTO , she was a pretty ride .
One more and I'll let ya go ... right at the moment , I think it might be my favorite - " now remember , when things look bad and it looks like yer not gonna make it , then you gotta get mean , I mean plum' mad dog mean . Cause if you lose yer head and you give up , then you neither live nor win . That's just the way it is ."
Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around for long.
I noticed that when you get to dislikin' someone, they ain't around for long niether.
" ... well , are you boys gonna pull on them pistols or are ya just gonna whistle dixie ? "
"There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see."
I can't think of another movie with so many great lines in it. What a classic.
Yer right about that bro . Guess I oughta give ya a break though , less'n you grow weary of my visits ( remember where THAT is in the Bible ?! ) .
My old mans GTO was a 64 , just found a pic .
You and yer buddy were indeed good if yall could follow up on lines . I lost a buddy like yours back in '04 in a construction accident . Between the 2 of us , we remembered scripture pretty good . Miss that ol boy , he was one tuff hombre .
Gods blessings and guidance for you 'n yers .
Oddly enough, this guy I used to swap Josey Wales lines with also is gone. He was diagnosed with cancer about 2 years after I met him, and he died maybe a year after that. But we had enough conversations about God that I 'm confident I'll see him again.
Amen to that brother . ( Proverbs 25 : 17 ... in case you was wondering ) . Later ...
