Do something good today - Page 6 - Religion, God, and Theology

Good thread Joey, nearly always get a smile or two out of your posts.

Admire your intentions, and agree that its a two way gain if your able to be generous to someone.

Hard to sustain though, when your getting it in the neck from most of your fellow men.

Unfortunately for my humour, I'm not very good at turning the other cheek.

Not going to go into how I think the government wastes more of my tax dollars than they use to help the poor and the sick and the aged... but he is right.

No matter how bad you think you've got it.... there's a lot of people out there that have it worse.

I dont think i would ever have any problem paying taxes if this was not the case. Unless the tax rate gets up to some ridiculous %.

I'm going to focus on not making the world worse. That alone should make it better.

But 2 negatives make a positive so maybe he should do more negatives..... or just 1 more.

Do not question science or math ! "They" don't like that.

I had a professor show us once how 1+1=3 using math.... I failed his class.

Not sure if there's any connection there or not...but I made ONE F in my light.... his class.

Very lame... but I entered the drive through at about the same time as another guy.... instead of acting like I didn't see him and going on in.... I let him go in front of me.

I mowed the entire area between me and my neighbors house instead of just cutting "my half".

Drive thru guy....most certainly seemed like it... got the wave and the nod.

Neighbor...not so much. He's the type that will now think "Damnit...now I have to mow the rest of my yard".

Today I'm going to tell Miley Cyrus that I like her new hair color.... even though I think it looks like crap.

(Before you go find the post where I said I leave her alone at the gym.... she starts conversation so it would be rude if I didn't partake)

If you get a picture of Miley Cyrus holding a sign that says "Stafford... you are a big brown bear" I will convert to Christianity.

Saving my soul can be your good deed for the day.

I'm guessing from your lack of activity Miley Cyrus had you arrested for stalking.

My good deed of the day.... Saw Nick Nolte smoking a cigarette IN THE GROCERY STORE and I refrained from laughing my ass off to his face.

What a train wreck that guy is.

Today I invited a professor over to frat dinner. He had a good time, we talked about our school in general, the education system, and the weather.

Here's to hoping that will improve my "participation grade."

Went back to the grandmas house today and finished some lawnwork (got a banana this time) but before that went out and picked up my dogs crap along w/ the neighbors dogs crap (cant do a better deed imo). finished right before the landscapers got there to mow the grass too which was nice.
