I try very hard to be nice to fellow Methoblogger, John the Methodist, but I can’t help but call him out like I did here, here, here and here.
This time I am ethically bound by the Book of Discipline, especially in light of recent controversies in British Methodism, to call John to task for his blatant addiction to gambling and tobacco smoking.
It is true that people will rarely see John engaging in these activities. Most addicts are good at hiding things. But the “Truth will Out”! In a slip of the Freudian kind, John’s subconscious cries for help and betrays his conscious mind as JTM has placed this picture in the header block of his blog, Locusts and Honey.
This painting, entitled A Friend in Need, by Cassius Coolidge,
depicts anthropomorphically altered dogs engaging in gambling activity (probably John’s favorite game, Faro), drinking, and smoking pipes and cigars.
A picture paints a thousand words, John. Remember that we love you and care about you. We can help you fight this.
Camden Blogging: A Dove and a Bridge April 25, 2008

A poem by a local friend of mine:
No arrow of enlightenment fletched with the feathers of truth,
No ruthless predator preying on the slow, pruning the herd
No metaphorical eternal struggle
And nothing like a simile.
No mustachioed Marlin Perkins,
No battered Range Rover,
No tawny lions of the Serengeti,
No howling hyena bitches.
No circle of life.
Just one hawk,
One dove,
In my front yard.
The dove lost.
I have always wanted to see more focus on our little area of South Georgia. November in my Soul also has some great photos and writings about Camden County. You can read about the old bridge over the St. Marys River on Hwy 17 here.
