D.B. of the Week - Pastor David Grisham

-
I have to bring back the DB of the week just for Christmas-time.

Did you hear about Pastor David Grisham who visited a mall in Texas so that he could save the misguided children?

D.B. Grisham had a bull horn and he announced to the children in line that Santa Claus is a fraud perpetrated by their parents.

He kept saying this over and over because he wanted to make sure that the kids...some as young as 3-years old...understood that Christmas is about Jesus...and not some man in a red suit and beard.

I wasn't there with my children, of course, but man this "frosts my ass" (as my college buddy, Fluff, used to say).

Not very-Christian of you, Pastor Dumb-Ass.

As you might expect the religious big mouth wasn't very popular with the parents of the children.

One Dad confronted him, but he kept right on going, yelling that Jesus deserves the love and attention that these heathen children bestow on the fictional present-giver.

Doesn't Pastor Dave sound like a real picnic?

I swear to God!

As I've aged I have really been completely turned off with the people who claim to be Holier Than Thou acting like true pieces o'crap.

How many people can you name who cherry pick aspects of their religion and use it to treat others like absolute dog poop?

I'm sure a bunch of faces popped into your mind.

What was that guy's end game?

To convert children to denounce Santa?

All he did was confuse excited children and anger a whole bunch of parents.

Oh...he got a little attention too.

When confronted he went off on his little rant about the world becoming a bad place because people aren't Jesus-like.

Idiotic!!

He probably should look it up, besides, Santa - Saint Nicolas - was a real dude.

He passed out presents...

...to make people feel a little better about themselves.

He didn't stand like a coward...in a line where excited kids waited for a moment with Santa...

...so he could crush their spirit.

Damn!

Just when I'm working to garner up a little of holiday spirit I have to read about this dude.

I hope Santa poops in his stocking.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
