Haverford Blog Heating Up

I read the haverfordblog every day and lately it's turning into a soap opera. Grown Men & Women acting like little kids slinging mud and saying shit about "this one is no good" and such... Cripes, maybe someonme could write a book about it and make some money! Now I realize that the webmasters of the blog have good intentions about it, but it pains me to see it turn into nothing more than a Storm Drain. Good debates are worth reading and interacting with. but what we have here are lawsuits, threats, and just general nastiness. They all abound on the blog. But, hey! I enjoy reading it. Am I sick or what? I don't even live in Haverford but have worked there for over 20 years.Btw, I was in PEABODY'S on Friday. So, Why don't all the concerned bloggers of the Haverford Blog all get together at say the old Iron Gate or hell, WAWA for the teetotallers i.e (teetotal adjective never drinking alcohol or opposed to the drinking of alcohol teetotaller UK, US USUALLY teetotaler noun {C}and just have some fun! I just posted this reply to two combatants. Re: Curt Weldon's mailer - week of 8/9/2004 « Reply #2 on: Today at 1:16am » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be quite honest with both of you. Both Bush AND Kerry are losers. America is controlled by corporations, lawyers,and our "Friends" abroad. WE are all sheep, who instead of banding TOGETHER, fight and argue over being a Republican or Democrat, Liberal or Conservative,White or Black, Gay or Straight. I consider myself to be an AMERICAN, one who was revered in the world as being the most generous, outgoing people in the world. Peace to all you HT'ers. Ok. Bring it on! No, really guy and gals, lighten up. It's the weekend. Cheers.

More of Erica

She asked me tonight to shoot some more pictures. I had the camera,(an A-40 Canon)set at 1600X1200. The shots were not as good a clarity as I would expect. I am learning about this slowly! Well, you be the judge. (I reduced them a bit to 320X240 for my blog in Photoshop.) I think personally that if you knew her, you would agree that her personality does more for her than her good looks... And to think that Main Line Models & Talent told her to drop five pounds... Hell, picky people, aren't they?

Equal Time

Vanessa saw the picture of her sister Erica the other night. She asked me to take some shots of her so I did. She's 21 years old and one of the nicest women you can meet. And She's single too! Beautiful Smile...
Yours truly hamming it up with "Nessie"
Nice to see that through all the heartache both Vanessa and Erica and their family have been through concerning their brother Robbie, they still keep on Keepin' on. God bless all of you! Cheers Vanessa :-) BTW. Here is some pictures of their Brother Robbie Mac Neal. He was involved in a devastating car wreck in New Jersey on December 14th, 2003. He was in a coma for months and was first in Cooper Medical Center, then transferred to Jefferson , then onto Moss Rehabilitation Center. Many people have been touched by Robbie's resolve, one that's far greater than the "Chimp" that currently resides in the White House.
Robbie had been in that wheel chair now for 9 months, something to think about. The Accident involved no booze, no drugs, no speeding... Just some rotten black ice doing 50 M.P.H. coming home from a job he and his friend got selling discounted phone services while attending his freshman year at Neumann Collage. My heart has gone out to the kid who used to come up into my garage at 3 AM to inquire what the hell I was doing on my computer at that time of night, (Yes, I was banished to the garage by my wife at the time because of over indulging in the use of the motherboard. And that's another story.} Anyway, I'm working on a tribute section on the Totally Delco website that will be available in a few weeks. Until we 01 again.

CHRISTIANS WHO VOTE FOR BUSH IN DANGER OF LOSING THEIR SOUL

A guest posts: Christians are called to emulate Christ. As He lived His life here on earth. That's all we have to go by. The suffering Christ, not the vanquishing one yet to come. We are to follow Him to the cross if necessary, and are commanded to love those who crucify us. "Love your enemies" are His exact words. Jesus Christ did not "fight back". He did not "kick ass". He did not endeavor to destroy his enemies, or support those that were doing so. Rather, He COMMANDED us as Christians to LOVE them. UNCONDITIONALLY, as He loves us. Jesus Christ did not bomb women or children for any reason whatsoever. Nor would He ever condone or support such behavior. Jesus Christ abhored the behavior of Pharisees who prayed publicly and exploited their faith while doing evil behind the scenes. Nor would He have anything at all to do with, or support any kind of "War on Terrorism" whatsoever. Tough words. Tough commandments. Hard to live by. Even harder to die by. But undeniable. IF you're a Christian and believe in what the Bible says about Jesus Christ's life. Jesus Christ also warned of those who would come after Him, come in His name, claiming to be doing good in His name, but instead doing unspeakable evil. He warned all Christians against these people, telling us that they would come as "Angels of Light". He didn't go into specifics, but if He had, He might have said that they would promise to appoint judges to end abortion, promise to fund "faith-based" ministries and schools, and cast stones at rivals who "wanted to destroy the family by supporting abortion, voting against parental notification rights, give the 'morning-after' pill to our children," etc., etc. I hope you get my point by now. The AntiChrist will not come saying "I am evil, follow me". On the contrary, he will say "I am good personified, I will make the world a better place and give all that believe in me and support me everything they want that is good. I will protect the weak and innocent and make peace, and destroy all evildoers." I'm not saying Bush is THE AntiChrist, but he certainly qualifies as an antichrist, because every single thing he says, and most importantly, does, goes DIRECTLY AGAINST EVERYTHING that JESUS CHRIST taught, lived, believed, and DIED FOR. It is time for the Moral Majority and all who identify themselves as "Fundamentalist Christians" to decide what they really are; followers (emulators) of Christ or members or supporters of a worldly power-seeking political movement. YOU CANNOT BE A MEMBER OR SUPPORTER OF ONE and BELONG TO THE OTHER. Jesus Christ eschewed (avoided to the greatest extent possible) politics and political power at every turn in His life, and His own people turned on Him as a result, desiring a "strong" leader who would come as a conquerer and throw off the occupation of the Romans. There was a reason for this and He said it over and over again in His life; that the world of the Spirit was more important than the world of Man and that the world of Man would fall away and amount to nothing. Suffering to prove you loved your enemies was far more important than vanquishing them. But aren't we expected to make the world a better place? Absolutely. And Jesus told us how, by LOVING OUR ENEMIES. How do we do that? Find out what they want, why they want it, give it to them, and then give them more. If they ask for our shirt, to give them our cloak also. If they ask for our life or the lives of our loved ones, so be it. First Century Christians went to their deaths in the arena singing and praising God, rather than fight the Romans. How does this make the world a better place? By letting Christ's love so shine through us that all come to Him, by choice and free will. Not by coercion, and certainly not by force, murder, destruction, and worst of all, revenge. Unconditional Love is the only way to true lasting peace. Those First Century Christians' witness converted first a handful, then an emperor, then an entire empire, and eventually the entire world came to know of Jesus. Would this have happened if they died fighting against overwhelming odds? How many other ethnic or religious groups that died fighting the Romans do we know anything at all about today? Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I do NOT want you to stand before God at the final reckoning and have to experience the following: God asks you what you were doing when Bush was bombing women and babies (whatever Bush's reason; it doesn't matter) and you tell God "We were fighting to keep a hunk of rock in a courthouse" or "We were fighting to keep doctors from killing unborn babies" or worst of all "We were fighting to keep what we thought was a Man of God in the White House doing your work, Lord." A Christian can never lose their salvation, but they can lose their soul when they do what they feel is the right thing for all the wrong reasons. Or actually doing the wrong thing for all the right reasons. Jesus told us how to do the right thing for all the right reasons. It isn't easy. In fact, it's the hardest thing in the world to do. LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. But He also said He would help us do it, if we took the first step. May God grant you the power of discernment and the power to see "Angels of Light" for what they are. Know them by their works, not by what they claim to be. And may you never be blinded by much lesser meaningless works of seeming good, while abominable acts of unspeakable evil occurr immediately behind them. May God bless you and keep you, Leslie Bell P.S. You might say "What about the military? Doesn't somebody have to fight for freedom? What about our Christian young men and women in uniform?" My answer is going to be very hard, but it is going to be what Jesus taught. As Christians, we aren't to worry about or ever partake in "fighting for freedom" or for anything else; there will always be men and women who will take any opportunity given them to kill for any reason whatsoever. As Christians we aren't to join them, period. God will decide their fate. We are commanded to LOVE OUR ENEMIES. This doesn't ever include bombing, maiming, or killing them for our freedom, their freedom, or anything else. For those that already have done these things, there is complete absolution and forgiveness for all those that ask. Killing is sin. If we have done so, we are called to stop. As individuals and AS A GOD-FEARING NATION. Then what course of action is there left to take? Crying out the Truth, loud and long. That will be more than enough. Contributed by Leslie Bell

Michael Marcavage Vs. Lansdowne

While reading the Daily Times this morning I came across an article sent in by Michael Marcavage, a man who lives in the borough. He proceeds to attack Kevin Lee, an openly gay man who recently was appointed to borough council. He cites from the Bible, (Romans, Chapter 1,) that "God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." He goes on to explain that the laws of our nation were founded on the Bible, that it is of a moral foundation, one that dates back to the beginning of time itself. Well Mr. Marcavage, I agree with you, but only to a point. Yes I believe that God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Men and Women are unique, and best physically equipped for intercourse with each other. Mr.Marcavage goes on to quip about the borough soon requiring children to read amongst other things, Books entitled: "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Daddy's Roommate". Good Luck, you'll need it but please quit driving around in a bus with posters plastered on it showing aborted fetuses. That's where I draw the line, such as when the governor was in Lansdowne certain people showed up and in front of these same young children, exposed graphic posters of aborted fetuses. If I were present, I would have grabbed the posters, tore them up, then proceed to punch out them all. I probably would have landed up in jail, but it would be well worth it. That's why I love America. Again, good luck with taking on the powers that be in Lansdowne.

A Future Model? I think so...

Here I sit with Erica, our 17 year old neighbor. Her brother is Robbie, the young man who was tragically injured in a car accident in December of last year. Erica would like to become a model. I think that she has the potential to do it. In fact, tomorrow or over the weekend we will be doing a photo shoot (A portfolio?) of her for people to look at. Hopefully, someone who isn't a con artist and is REALLY connected with a reputable modeling agency will see the pictures and contact her thru me. Hey, free publicity is better than paying $300.00 dollars to those so called Modeling agencys that tell you that scour the papers looking for couples with newborns and contacting them saying that thier kid is soooo cute, now gimme money to put them on a commerical that never happens... Yes, and two things.. 1.Dont even think it and 2. It's not that I'm not a happy guy, it's just that I have really horrible crooked buck missing teeth and am embarrased. I need an extreme makeover. Vote for me on T.V. to get it done. I'm game.

Great Day For The Wife

Liz, Eric, Erica and Michael all went up to the Eagles Training Camp at Lehigh University. This one picture stands out. (No offence Terrell...) Pick me a winner...
