Some thoughts are less random than others
This is not one of those
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

It would be quite a feat for someone to look down while wondering about the origin of one's feet and then suddenly see the feet of someone that you know attached to your ankle bones.

If that were to happen to me I would think that I had somehow been de-feeted by an acquaintance.

I would certainly not have happy feet at that point.

Caught one of my favorite WW II movies on The Military Channel last night....Where Eagles Dare with Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton...(not two actors you would think to team together, but it's a great flick)

Got me to thinking...

The actor who's characters have personally killed more people in than anyone in the history of movie making must be Clint Eastwood....

Between his westerns, his cop movies, and his war flicks, Clint compiled a pretty impressive body count.....

Clint's got nothing on Arnold as Terminator, etc.
