@sillama1 - A real year of the bible would knock all the pompous religeonists on the right wing on their collective butts. Government should never be involved in religeon at any level. I don't undestand people who quote the bible to prove a point. An opposing idea can always be found somewhere else in the bible. I have read the NIV bible through each year for the last several years and each time the words say something different to me.
Hi Sillama!
"Year of the Bible" sounds good. Several years ago I got a One Year Catholic Bible. Daily it has OT, NT, Psalms, Proverbs and in the back, the Deutrocanonical Books. By the end of the year, I have read the complete bible. With that I read a daily meditation from WWJD and I end with a daily meditation from Sarah Ban Breatnac's Simple Abundance. It is the one time in my day that I do not let outside concerns abide. It is a steadying influence for me. What are your tools for maintaining a peaceful existance?
Interesting article on the campaign to declare a national "Year of The Bible" to improve people's understanding of what the Good Book really says!
The fundies are going to go bat-guano about that Newsweek article, "Post-Christian America." My Pentecostal relatives are sure that there is a massive conspiracy by the left-wing, Godless pinkos to crush all the 'good Christians.' I keep telling them that they have nothing to worry about if they are really 'born-again' but they seem to want to quit waiting for Jesus and take on world-domination themselves. Yeah, I know, they sound like Sarah Palin. That seems to be her agenda, too. Reminds me of "The Handmaid's Tale." Creepy!
THANKS FOR ADDING ME AS A FRIEND.
@Desert_Eagle_AE - That's a great way to say it! It's spreading, you know. My daughter just cut her hair short, too. She LOVES how easy it is to style and dry!
I got to a gathering of friends this noontime and let go of a slight bit of my frustration about the woman who won't leave me alone. She sends me negative text messages and poison-pen e-mails on a regular basis. I counted the messages one week, there were 125 of them! I just delete, delete, delete.
We are the "short hair team". Unrestrained by long hair!
We don't do Daylight Savings Time in Korea, although there is political debate about starting it "to get in line with the 'developed countries'." I'm glad that we stay on Standard time all year. I remember how it used to throw me offbalance whenever the time changed, in America. We are on the western edge of this time zone, so the sun comes up about 7:40 a. m. in December and a bit before 5 a.m. in June. Just about right for the farmers, and the rest of us don't work on "sun time" anyway. All the industrial, service and professional workers run on "clock time" and they are the ones who are most inconvenienced by DST.
