Much of what we believe about ourselves, our world and our politics, we learned from someone else.
Sometimes, years later, we still cling to this stufff, long after its proven wrong.
Go figure...

What would Jesus do…
I had to cut and paste this - For no other reason than the caption.
“What wouldn’t Jesus do.”
What an awesome caption!
Apparently Jesus doesn’t care who represents him these days. Apparently Popes are chosen for their bureaucratic insidership, not their piety or moral courage.
Welcome to the Catholic Church – the so called bastion of Christian virtue.

Happy New Year
I just got off the treadmill. My mind abuzz with this and that; but with one underlying theme. Normally an optimist, I was startled by the notion that I might merely relive 2008. You know - do and say the same things, eat the same foods, go to the same places, whine and b*tch about the same ole’ crap.
I was struck by how pointless life would be if we were to allow such to occur again and again. Think about it… One year, piled upon another, each no more noteworthy than the last, taken together, a colossal body of mediocrity and sameness. Indeed a rather meaningless existence, given to leisure, over-indulgence, and lost opportunity.
Yeah, many will do that; but I suspect many of us won’t.
I think this is what we mean when we wish each other Happy New Year.
I think we mean to wish each other, a different and yes, better year. I think we mean to wish each other, not just an escape from the previous year, but something gloriously new and life changing.
At least that’s what I mean, when I say to you:

PS: About the treadmill: I ran 5 miles in 44 minutes, age 53.

Daring to Believe Lite…
Sorry - I’ll be writing a little less this week owing to my need to complete turnover at work. Long hours, little time to wax loftily with my feet up.
Long hours… Is that like 61 minutes or something?
