It's all my daughter-in-law's fault. What was I thinking?! Certainly not about fame. My brief brushes with that anomaly have been painful, embarrassing. Fame is as bad as anonymity, two extremes on the imaginary bell curve of life. "Does the professor grade on a curve?" That's what we asked in college. because if he did, I could relax. I was always going to fall somewhere on the brighter side of middle. But if not, whoa! Might actually have to study for that one. Might actually have to study? How much potential did I waste in never studying more than was necessary? Then it was called laziness. now it's called ordering your priorities. Who are we kidding? Only ourselves. At this rate we'll never evolve to a higher species.
My daughter-in-law tagged me. I have no idea what that means. Okay CG, you're it. (That's the only way I know how to play tag.)
There's a real dark side to being flavor of the month. (I've experienced it more than once.) Look at how God treats His "chosen people" in the Old Testament. One minute they're chosen, the next a rebellious and stiff-necked generation. You can't ever believe your own press. Good to keep in mind.

Thoughts for Today:
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. ~Jeannette Rankin
They are not all saints who use holy water. ~English Proverb
We teach children how to measure, how to weigh. We fail to teach them how to revere, how to sense wonder and awe. ~Rabbi Abraham Heschel
The Gospel of Jesus is not a victory dance for well-to-do Americans who want it all, including eternal life. ~Tom Ehrich
God is nothing like us, but we are God's creatures, and the divine fingerprints are all over our experience. ~Barbara Crafton
Religion is a journey into the mystery of God. It is not a system of beliefs and creeds and when it becomes that, it always becomes idolatrous and begins to die. ~John Shelby Spong
America can be great again, not by asserting military might, but by standing for something more than big cars, big houses, big-screen TVs and big walls along the Rio Grande. ~Tom Ehrich

FAILURE: Highly Underrated

Uh-oh. I was never good at tag as a child, and in a body rapidly closing in on sixty, I know I can't play it well now. Probably not even on a computer, where folks can pretty much do whatever they want, believe whatever they wish to believe is true, live in fantasy-land, fall in love, pay their bills and lose their identity.
Sooo ... daughter-in-law, back to you — tag, you're it again!
