Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

This is an interesting documentary on how a church in Asheville, NC, is creating a mural in addition to helping the poor and homeless:

KQED World
Theirs Is The Kingdom
59 min
At the intersection of poverty and portraiture, THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM follows the rare creation of a contemporary fresco mural inside the sanctuary of a small church in Asheville, North Carolina. This is a painting not of the rich and powerful, but of people battling homelessness, addiction, and mental illness. From first sketch to final unveiling, the viewer witnesses the difficulties of this ancient artistic technique while also meeting an ensemble cast of rich, complex characters.

Words to live by:

1.Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
2.Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
3.Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.
4.The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
5.Some days you’re the bug; some days you’re the windshield.
6.If you ever feel you are worthless remember that you are full of expensive organs.
7.It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it.
8.Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
9.Always remember that you’re unique, just like everyone else…
10.Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
11.Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
12.If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
13.No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
14.Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
15.If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
16.The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
17.A closed mouth gathers no foot.
18.Duct tape is like ‘The Force’. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
19.Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your lips are moving.
20.Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.
21.If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments .

[O Really]

Some of those contain more practical wisdom than the original versions.

My fave:

"14.Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day."

In addition, on April 19, the film will become widely available for streaming.

[Ulysses]

It's available online:

https://www.pbs.org/video/theirs-is-the-kingdom-sc5lyv/

Roku etc. not needed!

Favorite line so far:

"Yes, the fresco is almost entirely useless, but that's on purpose."

In other words, you don't know what streaming means.

Rumsfeld flavored nonsense.

Yeah I do. It's especially obvious at times like this when you obviously don't understand something, yet persist in ignorance.

Bullshit.

Why don't you go back into your little cave and let the smart people take over?
