I thought you were going to say deer meat, Mike. Mom told us years later after we all moved out that we'd been eating deer meat in bad winters when Dad's company was just starting out.



Well, I did hunt... BUT in the late 50s there WERE VERY FEW deer in Southern Illinois... In fact somewhere I have a Newton Press Mentor Front Page from 1956 that says..."large Doe Deer seen in Ste. Marie Bottoms" ie: VERY VERY UNUSUAL...lol...

My mom wouldn't cook a Rabbit or Squirrel because they looked like skinned babies (Her words) or Turtle or Frogs Legs because they twitched while they cooked.... So I actually became a pretty good cook myself when I wanted wild game...

My cattle are a pretty rough bunch, they come by name and after my grand children visited, I went through 100 pounds of haycubes in 4 days, the cattle see little people, they come running.
They are tasty!

When My Step Dad Married My mom, we moved to a little farm he owned. He told us kids...you can make pets of anything, but remember this .... one day we will eat them..

That was ok... BUT then he began to raise registered Black Angus...... Wanna guess what kind of beef we ate... I'll give you a clue, it wasn't Registered Black Angus.... in fact who knows what it was,,, came from the Butcher.... haha

If any atheists come to our church, we don't require them to participate in the offering. They can attend totally free!

In fact, we'll even give them a free Bible and a free meal ... maybe even two or three.

Ah, Speedy, better get your lawyer on retainer, those dinners will be the next law suite because you forced food onto the unbelievers.

Speedy, that sounds great! A wafer of unleavened bread, a sip of wine and a doorstop. I'll be right over. lol

Well, I was thinking about a good home-cooked meal, or a trip to a local restaurant.

Using a Bible as a doorstop might be a good idea ... you'll always know where it's at, just in case you feel inclined to read it. After all, a Bible is made the same way as any other book, and has no magic powers. It's the words between the covers that make a difference in a person's life ... opening the gates of heaven, and preventing a person from entering the gates of hell.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
~Psalm 119:105

It's called marketing. Coupons have always been used to lure in customers. No one ever has to PROVE the character behind the coupon to use it. And to get a percentage off your meal to pray in public? I know a few cheap atheist's that would do it in a heartbeat.
