Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, if this isn't the epitome of the chuch I grew up in: My mother just interviewed someone recommended by another church member to be the new Sunday school teacher. She's fantastic! Except she's a Muslim. They may still hire her... because how much actual theology is there for six year olds?? Oh, it makes me laugh.

Jesse what you missed was this: [link]

mac is being a PITA, so I am staying in another part of the house, cleaning off the TIVO and folding clothes.

I had other stuff to say, but can't remember.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Really? You want me to have something else done by Monday? I take it all back. The pony better come with a star.

I think being taught Sunday School by someone for whom the theology is an academic subject would be cool. But then I always harassed my Sunday School teachers.

Islam considers Jesus to be a prophet, don't they? Just not The Prophet?

I am trying to burn through my to-do list before I leave for my weekend. My desk is drowning in paper, and seriously, how much can I do in the next 22 minutes anyway?

I think that's right. Definitely great man, not Son of God. I imagine it's mostly Easter that would be an issue, really. I mean, the whole Son of God bit is pretty much the whole thing. (Although all I remember from my own Sunday school days is acting out Palm Sunday, so.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Gold star, ita !

The pet insurance article was interesting but the claim that "the problem is there's probably nothing that could possibly happen to this cat that would cost $6,000" is either wickedly optimistic or they really are never planning on treating an illness.

I do know my parents need to pay the bills and then submit for reimbursement. They've not had any troubles though.
