My first reaction to this question is I feel sad for them, they really want to share the joy of our Lord,
But still they are going door to door, not selling anything. They don't want your money, soliciting by definition is to ask earnestly for or seek bussiness.. Jesus is free.. However, someone is still disrupting you in your home.. I don't like it nor do most people.. most denomination's follow their own rules or version of their interpretation of God's Holy word.. There you have people that are deceived.
They think they are doing good works. No where in the Bible is there denominations listed.. Now if you are just out & about sure why not talk about Him.. I wonder how many people actually answer their door and become a believer ? I believe that God will put people into our daily lives that are eager to know Him.. I would rather be there than do it threw a door to door invitation.. Or doing things for others as a gift that God has given us to give.. Not preaching to people.. The majority of our friends want nothing to do with Him.. They are still a major part of our lives and we pray they will want to know Him..

Jesus is free but Religions are not, otherwise how do churches get so rich? who paid for the nice buildings and the salaries of priests? So, yes, those who come to my door are salesmen. The bigger the fan base is, the higher the revenue. Oh, by the way, the word "denomination" also means "the value of a coin or bill", the bigger the denomination the higher the value.... coincidence?

Whats funny is how some of those present themselves. One day this two man showed up, middle age, one Caucasian and one African-American (at least look like so) with a baby in stroller. I really don't know what kind of message they are trying to convey with such a bizarre combination. Another day, this group of gentlemen and ladies show up speaking Chinese to me, I didn't respond to nice cause they woke me up from my nap, and it bothers me that they must have been pinpoint me for a while, kinda creepy.

Enough rant, back to chickens. I caponized a 6-months Bresse rooster yesterday, great success, the guy only crowed three times and very short and low. (probably due to the wound not healed yet). But I keep my finger crossed that he will eventually stop crowing so I can keep him longer. (to fatten up, not as a pet. FYI...)

While I am a christian and attend church regularly, it seems the only ones out soliciting are the cults. They are usually impossible to talk to since they are brain washed to ignore the obvious and skirt and change the subject repeatedly, therefore they don't want to listen to any questions, or your point of view, so I feel it's a waste of time, on my part, to listen to them. I used to listen out of courtesy but no more. There are plenty of main stream churches that if anyone is interested can attend and get what they need. Of course, this comes from previous church pastors and a southern gospel music quartet.

I have to share this , since its pertinent to what's been discussed recently . One of my former foster kids is home on leave. He is in the Marines and is staying with his mom for the next two weeks. He called last night and asked if he could come over this morning. I say sure. The young man shows up at 5:30 AM and after hugs and kisses and begging for breakfast, waltzes over to my critter pen and starts working. He says its not secure enough. He has spent the day digging out the fence line and replacing the apron. Also installing more shade cloth tomorrow and painting the eaves on Friday. I asked him "don't you want to relax with your family during your leave?" I must have stabbed him in the heart. He dropped his head and says "You are my family. You and Dad deserve to take some time off. Let me do this for you."
Just when you think you don't have one more drop in the cup, someone comes along and fills it up. He says he is bringing his neighbors' kids with him tomorrow. Gonna have to go grocery shopping!

Caponizes them. Is that spelled right?

Good Man, Good Mom

Our girls love frozen watermelon when the temps are high.  

A grocery store down the street gives me their little fancy cut watermelons and stuff that they decorate the coolers and stuff with. I freeze it and put it out on hot days as well and they freaking hollow it out to its Rhine by the end of the day. They love it.
