I shall post two and comment on both.
Now I have never found that special woman in person, but the groom in my view did better by privately emailing his changed wedding plans as opposed to posting them on a blog article or in the comments.;) Okay, I suppose he should have at least called the rejected bride on the phone and informed her of the changed plans! On a serious note, this cartoon is perhaps a humourous exaggerated example of the sinfulness, selfishness, and lack of respect in society that often takes place within romantic relationships. In Matthew 22:39, the second great commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself, and this is repeated in Mark 12:31. The first great commandment in the New Testament is to of course love God with everything as in Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:29-30. New Testament theology requires followers of God and Christ to love others is maximal ways.
In January on thekingpin68, I wrote two article on singleness:

Okay, I admit that when I was a kid I did not pick up after my German Shepherd Husky when he posted a parcel in a neighbour's yard, public park, or schoolyard, but I would clean up after my dog now as a responsible adult. When I was a kid I can remember mowing the back lawn where the dog was and just running the lawn mower right over the dog waste.
Now don't you feel badly at not doing the pick ups? Seem to remember stepping in a few because you just left them in the growing lawn. I am kind of surprised you mentioned this in your blog! Thankfully you have grown up and have become more considerate.
ReplyDeleteNow don't you feel badly at not doing the pick ups?
ReplyDeleteNa, not really my dear Mumma (The Boss). Yes, I am very considerate now.
Love
Russ;)
Hi S&T, what gets me about those that don't scoop the poop is that they sometimes don't do it in clear view of large signs that threaten fines if you don't. I guess it's up to law enforcement to place officers at the "scene of the crime" to enforce the laws because they don't always enforce themselves in this case.
ReplyDeleteCute marriage funny...but also a statement of our times.
Thanks, WW. The dog waste should at least be picked up from the grass. I do not really have a problem with a dog going in a tree or bush where people do not walk, but I guess if too many dogs were allowed to do that it could end up smelling bad in the area.
ReplyDeleteI like the sign. "Grrrr, bark, woof, good dog." ha ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteI thought it was very funny. Big time dog lover here. One of the reason I think Islam is a false religion because they don't like dogs. LOL

Timotheus, thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that the restored Kingdom has a "dog and cat option" for persons. I would like to have my animals back.
Russ:)
Great pictures. I wonder if the grr... on the dog sign was a stay away grr.. or a friendly one?
ReplyDeleteThe wedding scene reminded me of the Christian dumping lines John Dekker posted last month. Some of them are rather good although I hope no-one actually uses them, the complete list can be found at http://worldofsven.co.uk/theology/post/entry_372.php
Thanks Felicity. My guess is that the Grrrrr was supposed to be unfriendly. Thanks for the link. I agree with you on the dumping lines, and I personally don't plan on using any of them. If there is no mutual attraction in Christ I will get out well before any wedding!;)

I love the sign to the dogs. A complete waste of money, but very funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I agree Sir Richard.
