Not to contradict you, Stan, but I have heard that the man we all know as "Redwood" has been pursued by the internet cyber police and is wanted for growing resin containing poppys that can be made into hard drugs. [I know, I know...we all thought the 'internet cyber police' were a myth, but apparently they are out there, as part of homeland security.]

Last rumor heard, he was heading out of california and was trying to get out of the country. destination is unsure.... Not too many know. Relatives don't care. Fortunately, the church that he was attending doesn't know he is on the lamb...A cover story was made...something about a rushed vacation....and to middle eastern part of the US was where he was going...He had said that he wanted to meet with Obama..and discuss biness concerns and laud his policys as he understood these
th ings.

Of course, these are just rumors, but as most of us are aware, these rumors have some basis in fact...true or otherwise...I will keep the watch for the Redwood Rumor Reports and report to you, the ClubAdventist readers the lastest of these rancid rumors....

Reporting live from clubAdventist....

By the way there used to be a guy named Dave on here all the time. Whatever happened to him? mel

Redwood...I know you can read this....so....

Tell you what...just do as I do....Instead of getting all hot and bothered (and I have done that a lot) just keep giving those "traditional SDA" law, law and more law. Make it hard on 'em...in fact make it impossible for them. In other words, do as God did...give 'em the old covenant and maybe they'll realize grace ain't so bad after all...

The continuing saga of Redwood

As we left our protagonist, he was leaving his home to avoid the evil homeland security cyber police, who were coming after him for innocently growing poppy flowers from Afghanistan that were growing in his newly aquired home.

Said Redwood's wife, Blanch- We have to get rid of these poppy flowers. They will attract the manufacturer of drugys and that will ruin our reputations as good loyal republicans and seventh day adventists. Where are you going, Redwood?
[b]Redwood[/b]- I think I can go to San Franscisco and get rid of these evil flowers."
Blanch- Oh, I hope so. We don't need anyone around here poking around and asking for drugs. What will the church members say???
Redwood- Look, Blanch, we're gonna have to ...lie...If anyone asks, tell them I just went to talk to Obama about some business dealings.
Blanch - But Redwood, dear. I can't lie. I'm a pastor, a representative of the Adventist church. If I get caught lying, I'll never get another job.

Redwood-Looking sternly at Blanch- Blanch, I am going to see Obama about how he will deal with business. It's going to be a political question. Now you can tell everyone that is what I said.
Blanch- Oh, I can do that now. No problem.

How will Redwood sneak away from the cyber police? Well he be able to get away from those Tommy Lee Jones type police? What will be his reaction if he get's caught?
"I tell you, they were just growing in my yard!"

Join us next time when Blanch tells a church member-
"Oh, he said he was going to see that Obama man about some business concerning our poppy flowers.I think Redwood's gonna sell him some."

In our last saga, our fearful protagonist, Redwood was leaving home and heart and reportedly going to San Francisco. On the ruse of seeing Obama and asking political questions, Redwood has avoided the embarrassing questions that the evil virtual cyber police desire to ask.

In running away from said cyber police, Redwood is hitchhiking to San Francisco. On the way, he passes thru Marin County to stop at the Lucas Ranch.

Redwood to audiance- I always wanted to be in the movies, but figured I didn't have the good looks that I needed.

George Lucas [upon hearing Redwood talk to himself] well, we can alter some of those offending physical traits.

Redwood-Well, all I need now is a balding head. and a white gown

George Lucas- We can provide that in one of two ways. Either in CG,[aka Computer Graphics] or by make up artist.
Redwood-Well, let's do the makeup artist thingy.

As we leave our protagonist, we see him in a white gown, with a bald head, at the San Francisco International Airport handing out poppy flower to all willing to accept them...

Hippy male upon recieving a poppy flower - Coooool, dude.


Join us next time as we hear Blanch say-

Oh where oh where can my Redwood man be? Oh where oh where can he beeeeeeeeee?

Neil....what an imagination you have! :)

Oh, Denise.....We ain't done yet.....

Just how long IS a sabbatical, anyway?
