The goldfish that was free at last...

Yep, Bro., goldfish can't go against his nature. He's supposed to be a fish, swimming in the water, not something else flying in the air, and out of his natural element, where Felix is.

Just kiddin'.:thumbs:

 

That was a pretty lame story... Im not being mean, just honest.

 

"Goldfish?? What goldfish?? We Were just getting ready to order a pizza!"



"And I've been watchin' TV the whole time!"



"I saw the whole thing, but I'm not tellin'!"

This reminds me of a movie I saw once sometime ago. About three kids who were caught with heroin in their backpacks, just a small amount, in Malaysia.
The authorities let two go, and detained only the one in whose backpack the heroin was found.
The other two, together with the sister of the detained, worked hard for the release of the third, and in the end, one admitted to sharing guilt with the other, and was himself put in detention.
Meanwhile, back here in the States, a journalist got a whiff of this developing "human interest" story and began hounding the sister who asked her, and made her swear that she won't break the story until her brother is free, because at her last visit to jail, they had a glimmer of hope.
Journalists being journalists, and all for the sake of "the public has the right to know", she broke her word, and printed the story, right on the very day that the Malaysian judge was to promulgate sentence.
The judge read the critical newspaper article. Critical of Malaysian justice: Hanging for a few grams of heroin ? Come on. Get real, and all that stuff.
The article infuriated the judge.
During sentencing, he said: You Americans think we Malaysians are too tough. Too strict. But our kids are safe. Very few have the same habits you have, and our families are strong. Our culture demands that our society be safe for everyone, and our laws make sure those demands are met.

Words to that effect. Not verbatim.

They hang the kid.

Joaquin Phoenix was that actor, if I recall correctly.

 

"Fred" needs to have a fish-ier name,
how about Susie (Sushi).

Of course you could always go with the cheesy name "Goldie."

 

because of sin, because they (we ... ahem, me) we are rebellious.

Tim, it's just easier for some people to see this. It's easier for some people to rebell. I was the rebellious type. I know some of have a hard time seeing that, but it is because of God's work in my life. I fought God every step of the way. I don't do that anymore, but boy it took me years to see the benefits of not and that yes the standards that God put in place are for my benefit.

Sicee I've been quoted on the BB (in a good way this time!), is that worth an extra 100 posts on my post count?

 

I wouldn't hold my breath, although you are close to hitting the 1000 mark once again.

 

1001, 'lil sis!

 

Another interesting fact about goldfish.

You can put a piece of plexiglas down the center of an acquarium. The goldfish will swim up to the plexiglas and hit their nose.

After a while, they stay away from the center of the acquarium.

The plexiglas can be removed, but the goldfish will still not try to cross to the other side.

Just like some Christians...

Our bondage has been removed by Christ, but we are so used to the 'old ways' that we stay in a prison of our own making.

We are free, but we don't realize it - neither did the goldfish.
