Look how Kirk squirms from side to side in his seat, as Mr Comfort tries to "groom" him, er, explains why bananas are shaped they way they are. <br />So these newly trained evangelicals, have they moved to avocados and kiwi yet? In my minds eye, I see a huge food fight and in the end, both sides eat their fresh quacamole and have bananas for dessert. <br />Can't fix crazy, I suppose.

But Donald Willie, a former nurse practitioner who worked in a West Tennessee prison for 14 years, hinted there could be other motives beyond avoiding pricey medications.<br /><br />"There are a lot of these contractors that think they’re part of the punishment of the inmates. That's something I've been against since the very beginning," Willie recently told The Tennessean.<br /><br />"Our job is not to punish the inmates but to provide, maybe not the highest quality care, but good, sound care.""<br /><br /><br /><br />As these prisoners infect each other and some are then released to infect the public the epidemic becomes worse.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-27881432245045305912016-05-09T09:41:36.832-08:002016-05-09T09:41:36.832-08:00Bush is/was NOT a ranch guy.

Because when I say “I am a pastor” then I have to sit through whatever reaction they have. I’m used to people sort of looking at me suspiciously either because they are pretty sure I just lied to them or because I now represent an institution they distrust. Which I totally get. But the reaction that is the most exhausting is from people who for some reason feel guilty or like they have to justify to me why they don’t go to church when in all honesty, I seriously don’t care. One of the more interesting things folks will say to me is: “I’m not religious or anything, I just hope that being a good person is enough.” To which I always want to say… “enough for what?” … avoiding the punishment of burning in the eternal fires of some kind of imaginary hell?"<br /><br />If you're interested, you may read her whole sermon here (highly recommended):<br /><br />http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nadiabolzweber/2016/03/junk-food-djs-and-brothers-a-sermon-on-how-all-that-is-the-fathers-is-ours/<br /><br />The owner of this blog is not wishy-washy about his beliefs.
