The break down of law and order in the context of Houston looters.

But this break down in law and order seems to be more and more prevalent in the United States of America.

.#Denver #Colorado Howard James Bartel were you ever forced to do the splits in Mennonite gym class, sir? Simon Patten have you or Sir Howard, ever been forced to do the splits before a choir event?
Jeff Jenkins do you force yourself to do the splits, sir?
Sir Robin Eliot have you ever forced your students to do the splits?
I think I have done the splits playing goalkeeper with Luke Morrey and Mark Morrey but.that was sort of forced, as I had to make a save.

Howard James Bartel No, never forced that I can recall, but many P.E. classes were like torture sessions anyway.

What happens when Russ is cornered at a party because of his educational background?

He becomes Russ Scurry

According to me:

I am hoping that there is no historically controversial Russell Murray that will possibly damage my career prospects.

The last two recent parties, upon arriving I was instantly targeted for theological discussion. But, some young women were rolling their eyes.

I am more than just a pretty European PhD...

I am supposedly disliked by 31 people 3 x

How many people are you disliked by?

According to your success!

GODINWORLD.COM

Having viewed this on Facebook, News Feed, I tried this silly Facebook application three times and it consistently came up that 31 people disliked me. (My friend was disliked by 84 people and posted it proudly.)

What is the basis for this statistic?

Is this a club with meet ups?

If this group exists, does this include the person or persons that copied my profile this week?

Don't hate me because of my twelve pack...

Typical. None of these people is willing to dialogue with me...(I think it is fiction, anyway.)

Who would attack Chuck's SUV?

Wee wonder's who would attack Chuck's SUV?

We were hit at Downtown Vancouver...

Chuck's windshield broken...

John Wee clothing stolen...

My $150 shades left behind...(I laughed when I was safe).

The back is filled with glass. Chuck's car (SUV) was hit and the man ran away. It was dark and we could not see it much until we were right at the car and broken glass below.

You fake, Russ Murray

Someone has faked my Facebook account. The fake Russ Murray (He looks no better or worse) is the account with 583 in it. My actual Russ Murray account is https://www.facebook.com/russellnormanmurray
My Facebook Business page is https://www.facebook.com/drrnm/

Harass the fake Russ Murray with theology and problem of evil questions and perhaps he/she will go away? I am adopted. Is this an evil twin?

A black dog crossing the crosswalk without a human

The Express Tribune

Today while driving to church, I viewed a black lab crossing a crosswalk-speed bump combination.

Several vehicles stopped. Mine included.

What looked like a yellow lab appeared to be following the black lab, but the yellow lab was still on the sidewalk and not yet on the road.

The yellow lab was 'smelling the roses' delaying traffic.

This is a 'sleepy town' part of Abbottsford.

Bullet Thursday: Hi gorgeous!

•Yesterday, I received yet another Facebook friend request from a stranger. These are usually lame. This person, supposedly a male from Africa. I gave the request a quick review and thought it might be legitimate and so I accepted. Some 'stranger danger' friends I have made online over the years have been blessings and so I do not want to be too closed-minded. But, I reasoned this was likely another clown. That evening he (supposedly) sent me a Messenger text stating: 'Hi gorgeous!' That led to an instant Facebook block from me.

•That same evening, I received yet another Facebook friend request from a stranger. This person provides an Asian art photo as the profile picture. I accept the request, begrudgingly, but soon after the message from the previous clown, this person messages me. I remind this person that it is early morning, as in approximately 1 am. I state, I am not interested in the 'How are you?' conversations and am a busy man. I further inform this person that if they want to know about me, please go to Russell Norman Facebook Page. This new clown states he is a mechanical engineer living in the United Kingdom. I imply: 'Who cares'. This person ignores my instructions and leaves a couple of comments on posts on Russ Murray, my regular Facebook account and then messages me back to see if we could now chat. It is still just after 1 am. That led to an instant Facebook block from me.

•Dear Scammers...Many of you are broke, not mainly because you were born in Africa (or wherever), you are broke because you lack common sense. The circus is in decline and so therefore clown work is limited. Pray to the Lord for wisdom (See Proverbs in the Old Testament). Proverbs 2: 2 from the New American Standard Bible: Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding.

•As I reasoned and have read, Switzerland, like Germany is a rule-based culture. I am enjoying the employment preparations for the academic position, in January.

Zondervan Scriptureless Bible?

Sunday after church, in smoggy, smelly, Abbotsford.

My apologies...

I was just on the phone with Ms. CIA and I opined that it smelled strongly of poo up here in my loft. I informed the careworker downstairs that was dealing with Mother that lives downstairs.

Taking a stroll near my open sunroom windows, I now fully realize the poo smell is the Maple Ridge smog.

'New Journaling Bible To Eliminate Scriptural Text Entirely'

'GRAND RAPIDS, MI—Zondervan announced Thursday an exciting new wide-margin journaling edition of its popular NIV Bible translation which eliminates the biblical text altogether to provide readers with more space to write their own thoughts, ideas, and feelings as they study God’s Word.' 

Cited

'“According to early feedback, people are thrilled with this new product. And since there are no printed words in this Bible, we were able to shorten it considerably, making it one of our most portable and convenient renderings of Scripture.”'

'When asked why consumers would pay $34.99 for what is essentially the same product as a journal they could pick up at Walmart for less than five dollars, the representative laughed. “There are many diaries, sketch pads, and journals in the world, but none of them come close to the majesty of God’s Holy Word.”'

With this 'move' within the last year for the intellectually and spiritually lazy, the requirement for historical, revealed Scripture in church is negated. At the same time of course, within embracing churches is negated bible studies, online sermons and the use of biblical tools, such as commentaries and dictionaries.

Saint Francis of Assisi/Saint Chuckles of A Boop Boop (Forbes rankings)

Toronto Blue Jays

Forbes franchise rankings Canada 2016/2017

With some philosophy of sports added.

Forbes 2017

Toronto Blue Jays

1.3 Billion US Value

Number 1 in Canada, and number 16 on the Forbes, Major League Baseball list for 2017. The 1992 and 1993 World Series Champions had two very good seasons prior to this one as they reached the American League Championship Series.

Things are so bad sportswise/sports wise in this country, that even with having a sub .500 record this year this year so far and with no recent World Series Championship, the Blue Jays have become #1 in Canada.

This according to various Forbes lists that I have reviewed.

For the most part the Blue Jays are in default competitive mediocrity. But this seems to excite many people in Southern Ontario desperate for a winner; it excites some other Canadians as well. It especially excites the Toronto sports media.

Frankly, I do not care...

I think an outdoor Major League Baseball game in a sunny traditional American baseball park, would be wonderful.

But, in a open or closed dome in Toronto, not so much. Domes belong, for example, in some ancient architecture and on some men; such as with Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Chuckles of A Boop Boop, a local Mennonite, and living martyr, if such a thing were possible.

Forbes 2017

Toronto Raptors

$1,125 Billion US Value

Frankly, I care even less.

I do respect the growth of team value. Congratulations for dumping the 'roided' up Barney the Dinosaur logo.

Forbes 2016

Montreal Canadiens

1,120 Billion US Value

If this club was more successful the value could be as high as #1 or #2 in Canada.

The National Hockey League club in the second largest Canadian city in metropolitan population.

The club needs more actual on ice star players and more scoring. There is so little scoring there is too much focus on off ice club celebrity by the media. If one likes soap operas, order archived series of 'Dynasty' or for some of you more conservative types, 'The Waltons'.

Toronto Maple Leafs

$1,100 Billion US Value

After fifty years of relative mediocrity, this franchise is finally developing and bringing in some top level skill. If this club becomes very successful and wins a Stanley Cup (s), it should be the default #1 valued sports club in Canada. The Leafs have significant apparent skill, and now good management. It will be difficult for even the Leafs to mess this up.

Vancouver Canucks

$700 Million US Value

As per usual, the Vancouver hockey media and online/radio callers spend much time discussing how the Canucks can dig themselves out of the club's latest hole.

As my Father has stated over the years: 'The problem with the Canucks is management'.

I figured the Canucks would go down the tubes after they choked in the 2011, Stanley Cup Final and could not play a decent, competitive game in Boston. I reasoned the right things to improve would not be done.

Edmonton Oilers

$445 Million US Value

A small market club with a new state of the art, National Hockey League arena and some of the top younger players (McDavid, Draisaitl). The Oilers also have a very solid starting goaltender (Talbot). A Stanley Cup contender. I doubt they will mess this up long term, but they did against the Anaheim Ducks in the playoffs. It was not a choke, it was a quack.

Calgary Flames

$410 Million US Value

Once the dispute with the city of Calgary ends and a new arena is built, the franchise value should rise. But, threats, for example, that the team could move to 'Reno' might speed things up. Some hockey commentators think Calgary has as much, or close to the potential as Edmonton. I am not convinced so far, but I hope it is true.

Ottawa Senators

$355 Million US Value

Ottawa Senators version 2.0

I have read online that the 'Trojan condom' like logo might be replaced more often by an 'O' similar to the alternate uniform and the original Ottawa Senators.

They were close to winning the Stanley Cup but need more scoring. The neutral zone trap Senators did not have New Jersey Devils of 1995, neutral zone trap and scoring ability.

Winnipeg Jets

$340 Million US Value

Winnipeg Jets version 2.0

The Jets have scoring skill but need upgrades defensively and with goaltending, according to my limited viewing and more importantly, the opines of hockey media, critics. No, I do not think that the Jets relative success means Saskatoon should receive a franchise. For Canada to be more competitive as a nation, it requires more new billion dollar value, potential clubs.
