no rest for the wicked

--full up....

I give thanks for the young people who went to NYC to run in the Marathon, and stayed to help clean up instead....

--and I pray for the man who lives in a tent over by the powwow grounds; for the People as they vote how to distribute the $$ awarded from a law suit over stolen land; for our Nation in the election tomorrow and for those who will not have yet voted before the election is called; for the Elders here....

For the family of M who just called --now I have to go to the funeral home, bless the body and be with the family....

At prayer this morning (from Revelation 14)

And I heard a voice from heaven saying,

“Write this: Blessed are the dead who from now on die in the Lord.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them.”

Off I go... to Mobridge --about 90 miles, to the funeral home....

Dorothy Sayers (Creed or Chaos?)

Let us,

In Heaven's name,

drag out the Divine Drama

from under the dreadful accumulation

of slipshod thinking

and trashy sentiment heaped upon it,

and set it on an open stage

to startle the world

into some sort of vigorous reaction.

If the pious are the first to be shocked,

so much the worse for the pious

--others will enter the Kingdom of Heaven before them.

If all men are offended because of Christ,

let them be offended;

but where is the sense

of their being offended at something

that is not Christ

and is nothing like Him?

We do Him

singularly little honor by watering down

'til it could not offend a fly.

Surely it is not the

business of the Church

to adapt Christ to man,

but to adapt man to Christ.

Need I mention that this needless, counterproductive, illegal, and immoral invasion and occupation is really much, much larger than the AIG scandal?

In the Church, considered as a social organism, the mysteries inevitably degenerate into beliefs.
--Simone Weil

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.

Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.
--Thomas Jefferson

As I understand it, laws, commands, rules and edicts are for those who have not the light which makes plain the pathway.

What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war.
--Simone Weil

It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.
--Jane Austen
