Lawful
Lawful, adj. Compatible with the will of a judge having jurisdiction.
2006 Update: Compliant with a law as adultery under the second commandment or warrantless searches under the second amendment.
Monika, well done and a good start for the day. I miss C.S. Lewis. Today's theologians all seem to be writing What Would Jesus Eat: Lose Weight the LORD's Way and Loaves and Fishes: The Scriptural Keys to Making Millions in Time Shares.
Careful, TLP they know your address.
Icy, the lawful exercise of aromatherapy? Kidding, Mireille, xoxo
Sar, that movie had a lot of memorable moments, didn't it? Thanks for the laugh.
Yes, Mireille Zockso sees all, knows all ... and can put a somewhat legal spin on it. Aromatherapy, mmmmmmmmmmmm. Adultery and warrantless searches: depends on which president you're adhering (heh) to. xoxo
i say where there's a will, there's a way. now ain't that awful?
i'm not going to be here for some time, darling, because i'm going away. stay away from those anti-depression pills willya? and if the thought of my absense gets to be too unbearable, arrest me!
Morning...thought I would check in this morning...I am supposed to be getting ready for work...but hey, sometimes we have to bend the normal a bit...hmmmm, I guess in some interpretations that makes me a bit unlawlful, because I don't care

lawful: I am fine with it. As long as it is natural law we are talking about! Divine, common or canon-I deem open for interpretation!
And just to annoy: here is a lovely quote by the Narnian Guy C.S Lewis:
“If war is ever lawful, then peace is sometimes sinful”
I likes it!
What is deemed lawful by the current administration is frequently an infraction of our liberty.
We'd have to consult Mireille Zockso about that.
I've got a case of the giggles! That image you added, Doug, reminds me of Mel Brooks playing Moses in this scene from History of the World: Part I:
Moses: The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen...
*drops one of the tablets*
Moses: Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!
