Confessions of a Recovering Pharisee

[Until our house sells in Charlotte I will continue to feature some of the fantastic benefits of living in this grand home.]

There is never a dull moment in our neighborhood. A little known fact is there is a dog fighting ring next door.  Kujo was filmed next door and the famous dog was trained there too.  Lots of celebrities from Middle Eastern Sheiks, to NFL and NBA stars are there quite often to participate in the events. Michael Vick used to come by weekly. The trainer is named “Nub” or “Lefty.” The ASPCA and PETA protest on a regular basis. If you are looking to make a little money on the side, this neighborhood is for you! Don’t wait because it won’t last long!

If you’re thinking about littering in the district of Sen. Kevin Engler, R-Farmington, think again. He sponsored a bill today, SB 273, that would penalize littering with the death penalty.

“I think that if we kill just a couple of people we catch, the rest will catch on,” he said.

He called the people perpetrating the littering “white trash” and “rednecks.”

Jeff Foxworthy was unavailable for comment. Remember Senator, “Rednecks” are people too! Plus they vote!

Another great feature of this home is the raw sewage that flows through the neighborhood and right through the house and yard. The aroma is unmistakable and never leaves you. Who needs to purchase a whirlpool, hot tub or pool when you can take a dip in raw sewage?  The pipes are large enough for adults and children to use them as a water slide.  We have become friends and know the EPA representatives on first name basis.  Don’t wait to make an offer on this gem–it won’t last long!

A new Gallup Poll, based on more than 350,000 interviews, finds that the Magnolia State is the one where the most people — 85% — say yes when asked “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”

Less than half of Vermonters, meanwhile — 42% — answered that same question in the affirmative. Joining Mississippi in the top “most religious” states are other notches in the Bible Belt: Alabama (82%), South Carolina (80%), Tennessee (79%), Louisiana (78%), and Arkansas (78%).

[From me]

I wonder why there are more religious people in the South? Of course being religious doesn’t mean a person is a follower of Jesus. Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to share Jesus outside of the South since so many people consider themselves Christians?

Yesterday I shared about the close proximity to the airport.  Today I want to focus on the nuclear power plant on one side of our home.  I love the smell of nuclear steam in the morning.  It is so nice to look at the puffs of smoke coming out nuclear reactors. Every evening there is a strange glow coming out of the nuclear plant. We have caught some interesting fish in our pond and you don’t even have to catch them because they actually float to the top. Another great benefit is the sirens that go off every couple of days because of the leaks. If you are looking for friends, just walk across the street and meet all of the protesters from Greenpeace and other organizations.  There is never a dull moment!  Call today 1-800-Rip-off1 for details! This home won’t last long!
