I didn't read it, but a religious title does NOT ENTITLE someone to pass judgment or to be vile to another human being. Maybe that person could actually do some "good" works in their life so they can lessen their inner turmoil and thumb twiddling.<br /><br />I've found that such people don't know the meaning of "troubles" because they are too busy looking for it. Once you've had it in your life, on an authentic level, you DON'T go looking for it.<br /><br />Keep up the good work John. If only we all had such beautiful village scenery to gaze out upon each day! I'm jealous! I'm in the Greater Houston area of Texas. Village life is nowhere to be found.<br /><br />LanaLanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422413007128219320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-20501871617440331402012-04-24T21:50:06.399+00:002012-04-24T21:50:06.399+00:00thank you Eileen and thank you all for your best w...thank you Eileen and thank you all for your best wishes<br />Mabel has eaten a good portion of a cheap SPAR chicken but would only take it from my hand.... <br />so my fingers are crossed things are on the UP.<br />her breathing remains very poor however and she has to be "propped up" in order to sleep<br /><br />I have just checked on her<br /><br />she blew me a kiss before I left herJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-4913143718290831122012-04-24T21:36:47.213+00:002012-04-24T21:36:47.213+00:00Oh dear poor Mabel.

Bet that commenter's never worked a day on a farm and hasn't a clue how busy one is just tending to the usual, let alone when any animal is poorly. My guess is s/he's jealous. On any given day, you've comments aplenty from readers. And, as has often been noted, the comments themselves are often worth the effort to return to the blog post later on to see what others have to say.<br /><br />You bring out the good and the clever in so many people, John. Guess that commenter doesn't have it to give.<br /><br />I'm glad Mabel is eating some and taking liquids. I do hope the meds can work well for her and that she'll make a full recovery.<br /><br />Loved the picture of Albert; hunting takes a lotof energy, John, and if the baby rabbit was quite small, then it would at best be only a snack.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.com
