Jesus in Gethsemane Park!

As this crazy world swirls around us all. Sometimes, we may forget what is really important!

We are all made in His image, I believe. Our start is at birth, our transition is at death.

The span of each of our existences, very precious in this world

and yet..

Perhaps, just the first minute of forever in His!

'Praise God and rejoice to know that the Creator, His Son and the virgin Mary
are with each of us, for this and each second of our lives:

All our trials of body, those good times and bad. The fears we all have, the pains we all garner with age...
And, when the darkness closes in on each of us, at the end of day.
And, when it all seems so pointless. A new dawn breaks.

Have great joy, everyone!

For, God is the Light, the Way and the Course forward,
Forever!' Duh

A side note from me, they don't thech typing in heaven or here on earht!
Just better times...'DanO is an idiot' - God. BTW Dan calls me Skippy! WTF?

Some Italian cooks needed in Forsyth!

Forsyth MO. - OK, so my little town of Forsyth supports a pretty wide range of restaurants, (as of early 2018). We had us a couple of fast food joints, two bars and eateries that supported most kinds of cuisine including Asian, American and Mexican. But, I felt that we still lacked one gender of food that I had come to miss - Italian. A few of you might know the kind of place I'm talking about - venues that were most always dark with heavy red drapes and food to die for! 

Where I grew up in Chicago, there was a time when I hung out with a few firemen from an Italian suburb. Sundays were special in that we'd like to meet at a little Italian place for a two to three hour repast that included clams on the half shell, pasta in all its various forms and garlic bread washed down with lots of alcohol! Those were good times and I'd love to see a similar enterprise set up shop in my current town!

Oaxaca Mexican Restaurant!

Oaxaca is a city in central Mexico. It’s known for its colonial buildings, many of which are made from green volcanic stone. The central Zócalo square features the Palacio de Gobierno, with colorful murals depicting regional history. Alameda de León square faces the ornate facade of the Catedral de Oaxaca. The 16th-century Templo de Santo Domingo church has a rich baroque interior and an adjoining former convent.

Forsyth MO, - the first quest that came to my mind when I did a quick stop to check out the fairly new Mexican restaurant and bar located at 15553 Hwy 160 (near the intersections of Hwy 160 and Coy Blvd) was not about the food but the name OAXACA?? Ergo, see the opening statement.  Cool and so THEN I wondered about the food and just what sort of libations were to be had.  When I entered, I asked the clerk if I could have a take home menu. She promptly handed me one of the most elegant menus I'd ever laid my eyes on!

Note that the menu pages shown had items and prices that were accurate at the time I posted this blog. Like everything, they will likely change with time!

The other question I had concerned alcohol. What a surprise, they also had a side room that sported a minimal bar along with a few tables scattered about. How nice. I was told that they served both hard liquors as well as an assortment of beers. They even had a large flat screen over the bar area to enjoy!

My opinion after my initial take, was that this could well turn out to be a popular venue for locals and visitors alike!

Be sure to check out my coming review of the food when I go there for lunch! That's coming soon!

One area Park seems to be open!

Note that I have nothing just do with the parks, I just go to them to waddle around a bit!

Walk away. The Four Tops!

Racial prejudice is a learned thing. God kicks us into this world willy nilly with little to no regard for physical attributes like skin color, height, sex or any other attribute. This world, into which we are all dumped via our mother's birth canal, is what it is. A very small fraction of us happened to land in a place called America and at a time of incredible comforts and technological marvels. Go figure!

But here's bottom line. Life will suck for many of us. Life will be unfair, (if you live long enough). Yet, time will move, moment to moment and from cradle to grave. And, it doesn't help anyone very much, if you spend that short time focusing on you're neighbors f'ing skin color!

'The fabric of existence I did so mold.

A universe of dreams to yet be foretold.

My finest creations born, part of a Holy key.

Two beings, one half of a part of Me,

Even to this day, I watch what they yet might be!

Where am I this day? I am the dawn of each day of your lives.
My Children, walk, live and love, for I am with you forever and ever!
Duh, I'm the frigging Sun!'

Oh, and that was God's words. Truth!
As told by a village idiot
who was given cherry pie on this day.
