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

Okay, now I see why you and I are always on the same side of the fence: Christian with buddhist tendencies...that would explain it!
Love your other answers, too. I didn't know they allowed dogs and cats in the convent? I might have to rethink becoming a Catholic now! hehehe
I keep telling you I'm an Episcopalian!!!
Both the dog and cat were strays that had been abused and we rescued them, andup here in Brewster we live on a farm ... several acres so the dog can run.
Oh there is a middle way in all of this to be sure as I have started to actively define myself as the inverse (e.g. a buddhist with christian tendencies). It seems upsetting to people although I'm not clear why. The serious thought-full posts have been killer btw.
What are the ducks do?
I mean - - what do the ducks do?/what are the ducks for? I think I may have a disorder of some type . . .
Ducks give us eggs and nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Unfortunately, like all birds, they poop everywhere. (We have to hose off the porch every morning.)
