Timelies all!
Welcome back Jeff! Glad you're on the mend.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I think I will go get some ice cream. They're probably out of morphine, though.

I had Merlot/Chocolate Chip ice cream in a sugar cone yesterday. I think that's as close as I'm getting to David's trifecta.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Morphine Ripple Crunch. My favorite. With Percocet sprinkles on top.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, hey, remember the conversation about do you have to talk shit about other religions to be the leader of one? My mom's church is a member of the Center for Progressive Christianity, and has this printed in the bulletin. Excerpts:
By calling ourselves progressive, we mean that we are Christians who…
2. Recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to God's realm, and acknowledge that their ways are true for them, as our ways are true for us;
4. Invite all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us in order to be acceptable (including but not limited to):
believers and agnostics,
conventional Christians and questioning skeptics,
women and men,
those of all sexual orientations and gender identities,
those of all races and cultures,
those of all classes and abilities,
those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope;
6. Find more grace in the search for understanding than we do in dogmatic certainty - more value in questioning than in absolutes;
8. Recognize that being followers of Jesus is costly, and entails selfless love, conscientious resistance to evil, and renunciation of privilege.
I thought it was interesting.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jesse, I love this:
5. Know that the way we behave toward one another and toward other people is the fullest expression of what we believe;

Of course, I'm reading the webpage, and thinking it all sounds so familiar...and then I notice that my mother's minister is on the board. Oh. Right.

My local bookseller actually rents them to me. So I get through a $20-50 tome for 3 smacks. Such a deal!
Good deal if this is handy. Of course, most public libraries will provide for free. Some even have free downloadable audiobooks now. See one example: [link]
