"The sun shines on the righteous". That's what they say, isn't it? Sounds about right to me.
Oh, Gail is telling me to check my facts, and that I am guilty of selective quotation. She directed me to the old family bible (King James version) and to Matthew Chapter 5, Verse 45:
"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
She says Matthew must have been thinking about fox terriers when he wrote this section of his gospel.
Which is of course ridiculous.
Happy Nature Friday friends!
What a BEAUTIFUL photo Nobby. The fact that the sun is shining at all is enough for anyone AND you are out in nature. That white bit at the top of your tail is like having your own masthead light. Paw smacks Mr T

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby - this tale of equal shares for all by Nature could just as equally stand as an FFF offering! I shall be encouraging you next year to do exactly that, for your photographic adventures and always excellent debates on naughty/nice (falling into the philosophical category of ethics) are a fantastic feature indeed. Roll on 2023!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I agree that this is an excellent picture of you of course we know the reason it's excellent is because you are so photogenic. That verse is so true and sometimes it seems good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people and you've got it all covered because you're naughty and nice haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo with the sun shining on you, Nobby!
ReplyDeleteNobby that is one fine photo of you!! Gail capture it at just the right moment.
ReplyDeleteIf beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I say the interpretation of the verse is in the eyes of the reader....Hugs Cecilia
We can't imagine any dog being evil and know for a fact, all dogs go to heaven so we agree with you, Gail is mistaken. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteThat beautiful photo took our breath away, and gave us a lovely start to our day. Happy new year to you and yours Gail and Nobby!

That's a lovely photo of you Nobby, but then all the photos of you are excellent. You're very photogenic whether the sun is shining on you if you're righteous, or not!
ReplyDeleteLove,

What a cute picture of you in the sun, Nobby. We can't believe Gail would think bad things of you. BOL!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed the sun shines on everyone. But it's up to you to find it and appreciate it. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI have always gone by "the sun don't shine on a sleeping dogs ass."
