Funky: Me again!! I have added you to my friends list I hope this is OK
Funky: Here's the truth: pigs prefer to keep themselves clean. The problem is that pigs can't sweat very much. Sweating helps you keep an even temperature. As sweat evaporates, it absorbs heat away from your body. Because hogs have very few sweat glands, they have to find other ways to keep cool. Pigs would much rather lounge in a clean pool of water, but that usually isn't an option. So, pigs lie in mud. The mud absorbs their bodies' excess heat I hope this helps!!!

Thinking out of the box

Now say you have a thought out of the box.  I have a lot of them but for example I'll pick this one.  Everything on the outside of you is a materialization of the thoughts inside your head.  Change the thoughts and your material world changes.  If you really let yourself believe this and start taking responsiblity for everything that happens in your life as if you put it there, which you did, then you will eventually live in circumstances which you created by giving them your consent.  This is an example of how it works;

When we bought the cows( which was Kathy's idea)
everyone we knew agreed we had no chance of making it
work. I looked at the endeavor as a spiritual
experience right from the start.  Getting the money to
buy them,moving them from the barn we bought them from
finding and setting up another barn to bring them
to,hauling away the manure with just a young,green
pair of horses,and feeding them with no land and no
equipment was all one miracle after another for me.
   For a year we milked the 30 or so cows we bought
and lived off the sale of the milk.  Then one day the
man we were renting the barn from decided he was going
to quit his job and milk cows for a living.  He
figured if idiots like us could make it, he should
have no trouble at all.  So he wanted us out of his
barn right away.  I remember telling Kathy we had to
wait for God to come into the barn.
    Things got very tense after awhile because the
owner didn't want us there.  I told a friend to watch
closely because I was going to pass a herd of cows
through the eye of a needle.  And sure enough God came
into the barn in the form of a cattle dealer who moved
us to our third barn 50 miles away.  After landing on
the farm a man I didn't know came up and told me he
was going to take back his mower.  I told him that at
this point in my life I didn't think anyone had the
power to take away anything I really needed.  He never
did take that mower away.

I'm mulling this one over still. I may have to wait til I've had some sleep before I muddle my way around it, or through it, or if all else fails, over it.
