dim mirrors
where to begin...
well- i've been working alot lately. that will likely continue through june. we're thinking about buying a house. i dunnon if now's the right time for us to do that or not. my mom and niecy's birthday is tommorrow. i went to see jim wallis last night and that was way good.
i went to mark palmer's wake tonight. i went to his first wife's wake too and i didn't even know her. i guess i went more as a protest than anything else. death is so profoundly wrong. but a death like mark's just reminds me of that at a deeper level.
when i was able to identify why i was going to mark's wake even though i knew him only casually; i was reminded of something that wallis said last night- protest is good- alternatives are better. different context but applicable concept.
so- here's to getting my hands dirty in the 'alternatives' of the kingdom of God; praying for the dying, talking to my herion addict friend who can't stay clean and conspiring to bless strippers. but oh for the day when death- in all it's twisted forms will not only not have a sting- but will be the lauging stock of heaven.
i'm debating about our herbs. frankly i'm scared our agressive neighbor might pour cat urine on anything i eventually grow. verdit is still out. regardless- they will be in containers either way. that way they are portable and if we move- they come with...
i went to chipoltle for take out and while i was waiting in line i was watching this guy eat. man i about barfed watching that guy eat his dinner. i seriously thought i might loose it waiting in line. but i choked it down. it was like a car accident- i couldn't look away.
we're rejoicing that charles taylor is in custody in freetown sierra leone. God have mercy on that pastor seeking to help him find another country for asylum. i read a story about him and he sounds legit- but finding charles taylor another skirt from justice? stop the crack! and a shout out to ellen johnson sirleaf for calling for his extradition. she's got some cahoonas.
