The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

Interesting comment from a man who lived beyond his means.
the truth!
(not the above comment but the quote. what does the above comment mean anyway, though?)
I think what Lynne means is that Thomas Jefferson had every intention of freeing his slaves when he died, but he had so many debts that the slaves had to be sold after all.
[I don't think it means that Fingerposter lived beyond his means... :) ]
Funke is correct! Jefferson lived large and denied himeself nothing. I was commenting on the quote's author, not the post's author. Sorry to confuse - I thought the past tense "lived" made it clear.
oh! i thought you were talking about my papa! (ha)
"lived" did make it clear... but of course, i often don't notice little details like that... i should be a bit more observant next time!
