It seems that Trooper Trent will never make an appearance around these parts because the Sunday news always seems to have a story worth commenting on. In this case, I read this article about someones concerns over the evils of yoga, and I just had to laugh. Of course, Mr. Mohler is hardly the first Christian to be worried about yoga, but maybe coming down on the side of Pat Robertson isn’t the wisest move.
With all the problems in this world that people are struggling with on a daily basis, maybe you could try and focus on something else for a while. Talk to your flock. I’m sure you’ll find that the biggest problem they are experiencing from yoga is the occasional charley horse! Just a thought but maybe you could concentrate on feeding and housing the poor?
As per me, I love yoga (best not to try and form a mental image of that)… I really need to start making more time for it these days as life has been stressful lately and moving very, very fast. When I’m sweating and stretching and breathing, at no point do I ever feel that I am somehow pulling away from God. My body is a temple, right? Shouldn’t I be encouraged to spruce the bloody thing up then? I’m just saying…
Ok, you really need to work on composing the image. That is unless you meant to make it look like the good pastor was positioning his sweater matching red haired flexi doll to receive his “revival”? The direction of her gaze and the look on her face suggest she isn’t looking forward to the “revival”…
Of course, in that context, it kinda makes sense that he would rail against the evils of yoga…the yoga folks apparently arouse in him those feelings that come from the devil…
And don’t ask me how I know about flexi dolls…
While I realize you don’t live in this state, this is the age of the internet, so I eagerly await your art lessons to get my skills up to snuff.
For those that do not know, Chris is not only wicked smart, but quite the skilled artist. Certainly if anyone could get my drawing skills up, he could.
I’m telling the News Guy that you called Jane a flexi doll! I’m guessing that he is going to be pissed!
I think you have me mistaken with another Chris. I’m sure you’re confused about my artistic skills (I only commented on the positioning of the character, not the artistic skill, btw), but I’m appalled you think I might be “wicked smart”…that is unless you meant to say, “a wicked smart-arse”… That would make more sense.
BTW, as you know I really like a fiery red head, so bring on the Jane flexi doll!
I have an example of two lying around here that would contradict your statement regarding your artistic skills… but I’ll let it pass… also, I only said that you were ‘wicked smart’… I never implied that you were smarter than me! 😉
