Venn

To the Catholics who have recently had their faith shaken, remember this:  you don't have to be Catholic to be Christian; also, as far as the child abusers are concerned, you don't have to be Christian to be Catholic.

Bride of Christ

I had a thought Thursday.  What if Jesus' instruction to not get divorced because of infidelity applies to us?  What if Jesus will not leave us for spiritual infidelity?  Isn't that something.

Poison

I used to think that Drew Barrymore was so hot, so hot.  Hot.  Now, I look at her every time I see her on TV with disgust.  Utter...total...disgust.  She is still attractive.  It's her politics.  She's a leftist wingnut.  And, I can't see past it.  It reminds me of that episode of ST:  Voyager where the Commander is on the alien world and is recruited into their conflict where he comes to hate his new enemy.  I may have been poisoned.  Am I the bad guy.

Milk

I’m disappointed that my Native heritage didn’t show up in the DNA test, despite my ignorance about the people.  But, at 1/32 Mic Mac, it didn’t even register.  That’s just over 3% I guess.  I’m proud of the blood I carry, in spite of the exceptionally little I know of the culture; it was hidden from us as children, in a time where ignorance made such things as native heritage a disgrace.  My maternal great grandmother (mother’s mother’s mother) was Metis, integrating into White society, being the daughter of Angus Noble.  But, disappointed I am.  I’m not sure if much under 5% shows.  And, maybe Angus Noble wasn’t full blooded Indian, which would make it 1% for me.  There’s no way to know that now, I suppose.  Call me skimmed milk, I guess.  I’ve been called worse.  I tell few people actually, not because I’m ashamed, but because I feel like an actor, imposter, or like I’d be cheapening it for personal gain. 

 

There was a lot of Scandian, which surprised me, mostly Scottish/Irish.  And, 5% Baltic.  What the hay?  That was a surprise.  It’s true what they say; these tests sure can have some surprising results…

It's The End of the World as We Know It

The ancient Israelites must have been devastated, devastated, and thought the whole world was ending when the Temple was being sacked, when the fine wood carvings were being smashed.  How do we avoid being so short sighted?
