“Get it right people! Tuna casserole takes cream of mushroom soup. Tuna SALAD takes mayo or Miracle Whip. And while we're at it, tuna salad has celery, NOT peas. If you HAVE to use peas, use a bag of frozen peas. Canned peas are for tuna casserole, not tuna salad.” PoetrySummerSaladPeasTuna Book:Max Nix: Poems Source: Max Nix: Poems
“How can we ensure that these dead would not have died in vain? And how can we make sure that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth? I don’t know about you, but personally, I think it's by being devoted to the same cause to which they gave their last full measure of devotion- by being dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” EqualityCivil RightsBlmGettysburg Book:Prophet, Priest, & Pirate Source: Prophet, Priest, & Pirate
“Always be careful, as they say, “Text without context is usually pretext.” In other words, people like to try to use the Bible to get you to agree with them instead of helping you understand what a given section of Scripture meant to its original audience at the time. I gotta think St. John would back me up on that.” WritingPropagandaPoliticiansCharlatansPunditsContextTextCon ArtistsTelevangelists Book:Dear John; Ploughboy Postcards Source: Dear John; Ploughboy Postcards
“The problem with the chosen, is that like the good brother who stayed home in the story of the prodigal, we become resentful. Christians want (desire) to understand a simple, clean, black and white universe. And (like adolescents) insist on our understanding of justice. In short, we desire to be in control. In essence, Christians want to be God.” Politics And Religion Book:Prophet, Priest, & Pirate Source: Prophet, Priest, & Pirate
