more days of Lent?

You know, I was perplexed about why he described Jesus coming out of the
desert. I've already moved into Passover mode and forgotten all about
Lent (although we did Easter... tells you how much it all means to me,
doesn't it).

Either way, better than faithless families.

Probably makes no difference as long as one doesn't put too much faith
in their faith.

I assume you mean faith in a *deity*. We Humanists are not devoid of

As long as they'll all eat whatever is served for dinner without
complaining, they are all welcome.

In the black and crusty depths of my heart I'd like to count like a
terrier... "Mine, mine, mine, mine..."

It's not always a bad thing. The older I get, the larger the circle of
people, places and things I count as mine. On the whole, I think they
benefit. It's hard to tell, though, the farther out you go.

*My* family, my house, my land, my people, my country, my planet.

Selfishness or guardianship?

Not sure about that.

At least in my experience, stewardship implies responsibility for
results without the power to effect changes in policy. If I have to
take responsibility, I need the authority to do what's necessary to
accomplish what's required.

I have yet to decide whether our elected officials, who, in essence,
agree to fight blindfolded with one hand tied behind their back, are
idiots, scam artists or saints.

That's why people like me probably shouldn't hold public office.

There once was a girl with a little bitty curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
And when she was good she was very, very good.
And when she was bad she was awful.
