Sunday Drive: For Mama

A remembrance of my darling Mama, who passed away this day in 1994 - which was Mother's Day that year, too.

Mine is 96, lives with us and still is as pesky and liberal as ever...votes in every election (Democrat of course) wears no glasses, has all of her teeth and takes no medicines. Do you think I am grateful?
I don't know what will happen when she goes.

Nobody else ever loves you like your mama does. Be sure you let her know what she means to you.; May 9, 2011 at 3:28 PM

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?

It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.

If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
