Sunday Drive: We're Having a Heat Wave

Marilyn's great and all, but I wish she would stop cluttering up my view of the chorus line:

Russ Manley said...: It might just be the Rio Grande. Back when all the cool kids were going to San Francisco in the Summer of Love, I was visiting relatives in Albuquerque - and much to my disappointment, the Great River was just a tiny trickle about a foot wide at the bottom of a big, dusty ditch. M.P., an El Pasoan, says it varies considerably in size depending on the time of year.; February 22, 2021 at 6:21 AM

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.
