yes... there are lots of nasty viruses out there...
so if you do not now have a firewall get one FREE for
personal use at
http://www.zonelabs.com
you may have to search around on the web site a little
to find the FREE version...
have been using ZONEALARM for over two years and the only
worm/virus that got by came in by email somehow... ususally
i am REALLY careful but must have messed up...
admittedly it does take a little tech savvy to figure out
how to use the firewall... but there is a built in tutorial
and a little mental elbow grease can get you there...

This is a letter to the editor of the
Illinois Valley News by Lou Chauvin(Magic Forest Farm)
I think some of you chatters would recognize Lou
It's titled 'Puppet President'
President George Bush "the speech reader" performed
poorly on Sunday night, Sept 7. He was just a bit
too obviously a puppet, mouthing words that, unforunately, merely fogged reality.
For starters, there are real wars (World War 11, our
invasion of Vietman, our invasion of Iraq, the Civil War)
and there are metaphorical "warsd" (the war on cancer,
the "war" on drugs). For Bush to confuse the "war" on
terrorism with our illegal, poorly planned invasion of
the sovereign nation of Iraq is cynical propaganda
at its worst.
We have not been provided with a single, factuallly
supported justification for Bush's war in Iraq. For
him to mix the tragedy of Sept ll, 2001, with events
in Iraq is insulting.
Everyone should know by now that there was absolutely
no traffic between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein,
that Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction--
chemical, biological or nuclear--and that is absolutely
no connection between Iraq and the destruction of the
World Trade Center. Our soldiers are dying and the
administration is lying again.
Our presence in Iraq is unrelated to the twin towers
of 9/11. For Bush "the swaggerer" to go before the
nation and say that our escapade in Iraq is a war on
terrorism is just flat wrong.
Not surprisingly, many in Iraq see the U.S. occupation
force as a kind of terrorism. And their occasional and violent response is seen as terrorism
Who is the terrorist is kind of relative. If being
a Palestinian suicide bomber at a bus stop, killing
innocents, is terrorism, then maybe Israel sending
missiles and (U.S. made) black hawk helicopters
into civilian apartments, killing innocents, is
terrorism also.

although we were told that if we didn't quiet down they
would kick us out of the campsite....the "noise" was just
us laughing, but we were told our laughter could not go
outside our campsite. park pigs trying to be important.
other than that it was fun. beautiful weather and good
friends hanging out in the redwoods with three bands that
played saturday. the event itself though has been slowly
declining over the years, with only half the number of
people compared to other years.....probably because of the

Hey, anybody know what's happened to bob hale? There's a big story in the washington post about a guy who now calls himself poppa pilgrim but whose original name is bob hale
Guy's got 15 kids, long beard, story says he spent time on an Oregon commune.
Poppa Pilgrim bulldozed a road through a national park in Alaska.
Guy does look suspiciously like Hale - hard to tell exactly - he's got a long beard.
Did he call himself sunstar?

It was quite a flash to see him on the post front page. He's probably SR's biggest kook. 15 kids... seems to be enjoying himself and being in control. I'd actually been thinking of him.
As I read the article there already was a primitive road there and he would have gotten permission to improve it if he'd gone through the channels.

BREAKING NEWS: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER CAN SPELL CALIFORNIA!
after months of speculation, Arnold Schwarzenegger has
finally proven he can handle the tough job of spelling the
word "California".
although many of his detractors had said he just wasn't up
to the immense responsibility of it, Mr. Schwarzenegger
held a live news conference where he actually spelled
California three times in a row without a hitch!
Arnold went on to say he has no doubt he will one day be
able to pronounce "California", although he emphasized this
would not happen over night. he also went on to say his
first order of business as Governor would be learning how
to spell and pronounce his last name, although he added he
might change his name to John Kennedy.....that way he could
say "I'll be Jack!!!

soooooooo, what's new in the world of weirdness? let's have
a looksy...
The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry has published a study on
"rhinotillexomania", which is the medical term for nose
picking. in the study, researchers came to the startling
conclusion that the habit is "common among adolescents".
the study also found that 65 percent of people use their
index finger to do the picking, 20 percent their pinkie,
and 16 percent use a thumb. ( I use my big toe.)
Filipino Sen. Sergio Osmena announced that if necessary,
he will have sex on the floor of the Senate chamber to stall
further appointments of committee chairmen.
James Reilly, 36, an attorney from South Africa, won a radio
contest for the "wackiest act." His stunt: Skydiving naked
into the middle of an army parade with the sponsor's
product- a deordorant stick - taped to his genitals.
he won a new car.
according to a new survey by Roto-Rooter, 70 percent of
Americans have experienced an "unforgettable moment" in the
bathroom. ( hmmmm )
The Group Of Eight Summit drank 7,800 gallons of Evian while
discussing the world shortage of drinking water.( must have
been thirsty for a solution )
A Norwegian air ambulance crew ignored the smell of an
onboard fire because they thought it was the patients
farting. After smoke filled the cabin, the co-pilot
managed to bring the plane down safely. (...no comment...)
The town of Lost, Scotland, has lost it's town sign.
This really surprised me...
250 people were injured in this year's stone throwing
festival in Pasham Pud, India.
A mile long swim in Boston to celebrate the city's clean
beaches was canceled because of water pollution.
A burgler broke into a Berlin jewelery store containing $3
million in precious gems...and got away with $59 worth of
costume jewelery. ( more like a bungler, not a burgler. )
Didn't we just go through this?...
More than 600 people were injured, many seriously, in this
years Stone Throwing Festival in Pasham, Pud, India.
the ritual, in which residents of the village form groups on either side of the river Jaam and hurl stones at each other, is held every year.
last year, only 250 were injured. ( some advice. if your
ever in Pasham, Pud, and someone ask's if you'd like to get
stoned, say NOOOOOO!!!!)
A woman who claims to be Saddam Hussein's mistress says he
takes lot's of Viagra and dances to Frank Sinatra's
"strangers in the night".
talk about goin' to the dogs....
A 10-year-old boy who escaped from a care center two years
ago in Santiago, Chile, was found living in a cave with a
pack of stray dogs.
"he lived in a cave with dogs and roamed the streets for
food with them," said Della Delgato, head of Chile's
National Child-care Service.
and finally, a fitting story to end this...whatever it is..
A Malaysian food vendor has been arrested after boiling food
and dirty underwear in the same pot. Health officials were
about to search the man's stall when he pulled the underwear
out of the cooking pot and threw it into the river.
Some stall-holders believe that putting dirty underwear in
their cooking pots attracks customers.
well, have to check on dinner. don't want to burn the
underwear....everyone knows it loses it's flavor.

Hi everyone--an added comment to Eugene
missing Arlo's performance. I will commiserate
with you Eugene--I would feel badly too if I
had missed him--he's one of my all time favorites.
A little trivia from the Eaton History book.
In the 60's, every Thanksgiving Day, we had to
play Alice's Restaurant before dinner. Everyone
enjoyed doing so-we all had our favorite parts(not turkey).
My favorite was of course the 'group W bench'.
And on any given Thanksgiving Day during that time,
there were at least 10 graduates from that bench,
my oldest son included, at our banquet.
Maybe this Thanksgiving I'll resurrect the old album.
Haven't played it in years. Anyway, thanks for the memory.
Peace, Love

In Sept. '66, as I was getting ready to move to New Paltz, I met a guy in the East Village named Geoff Bowie Outlaw (a Native American). He was about to celebrate his 4-F classification with a giant joint. I went to his (tiny) apartment with him, where we smoked it. He told me he had friends in Stockbridge, Massachusettes, who were renovating a church, and that I should come up and visit. I never did. But, later, when I saw "Alice's Restaurant," I saw Geoff again. He was Roger, who went to the dump and got busted with Arlo....

Hi jim, rita and all - staying pretty unaffected by all the war and weirdness outside of my little community of Oregon House. Hardly go to town or beyond - mainly because of my health, but partly from choice. Prefer the quiet here. My radical political days have passed and only have occassional urges to protest, but haven't done anything more radical than vote since before SR. CA politics are a sad joke. National politics, well...don't want to go there. Things heated up in the summer - kind of like SR summers - things got really hot Aug 15 when a small forest fire swept through my property and several of my neighbors. Total of about 15 acres burned, probably about 4-5 of mine. Lots of firewood for the next few years, some very memorable moments, and a better view. Got a phone call about a fire next door, got dressed (laying nekkid in bed) grabbed my purse, called my dog and hopped in the truck, drove down my very long driveway through some flames....so yes, it's been a hot summer. We lost 2 sheds and some stuff but our house is fine. Driving away from the flames, I was so gratefull just to be, that I really did not care what was burning. Other than that, life is pretty peaceful...oops, forgot, we just got a new puppy so forget the peaceful part - change that to playful. Everytings just fine....

That sounds like you had an exciting ( and not the good kind
of exciting ) summer, Alice. Glad you and most of your
property came out OK. As for us, they just issued a fire
weather watch for southern Oregon and northern California,
due to very low humidities and rather high temps. ( 80's )
we've had literally no rain, while the northern half of
the state has at least seen modest amounts. Between the
stupid weather and the stupid president, it's hard to keep
a good attitude.....but I will anyway...maybe.
may rain and peace be in the forecast soon.

The word "Shankara" is a combination of two words, namely "shanka" and "hara". "Shanka" means doubt and "hara" means destroyer. Thus the word "Shankara" means He who destroys or defeats doubt.

George W. Bush is still an evil, stupid bastard who is
killing our young men with impunity and driving our country
right into the shitter. there is absolutely no difference
between a serial killer and our ugly, evil little president.
If Georgy boy were Ted Bundy the country would be all aroar
and up in arms over such brutality, but for some reason his
being president makes murder ok. He's arrogantly and
stubbornly sticking to his embarrassing foreign policy like
a fly sticks to fly-paper, and everyday more young
Americans, your sons and daughters, are being killed and
maimed because of an evil bastard who could care less about
loss of life and who will use any resource he has at his
disposal to continue with what can only be described as
complete madness! this chat was filled with supporters of
this administration a couple short years ago, and now not
one person who supported this fucking murderer and his ilk
have anything good to say or even try to come up with a
reason why he's anything but the troll-like creature he
is. What he's done to this country in just the few short
years of his un-official dictatorship is scary, and as sure
as shit stinks, we'll pay dearly for the ignorance of
electing this monster for our president.(we already are)
but thank our lucky stars we have a president who's to damn
ugly for a sexual scandal.....there isn't an intern in all
of washington, female or male, who would give him head!
but other than that, I don't have much to say.

Anger always reflects a poor response to any situation, but sometimes I like it, or don't want to put the effort into restraint or don't know how... but I'm always either or both embarrassed or apolgetic when it happens. Same for getting too excited in conversation.

i generally agree with the concept that anger should be
avoided at all costs... but we are human... and things
do make us angry... so to me the most important thing
is how do we deal with anger... explode? get violant?
or use the emotional energy to try and create change...
this does not mean that the anger must be expressed as
such... but the energy can be used in a motivational
manner... "i am angry... and i am going to do something
to change things"
this would to me be a positive use of anger... my basic
precept of dealing with life is compassion... but i do
get angry and try to deal with situations that have made
me angry... in my past i ran away from situations that
made me angry or turned it inward on myself... i have
found that both of these responses are counter productive
in the long run...

This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented
by an eagle, Bin Laden, Saddam and others should have read up on their
Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible)
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands
of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more
rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and
there was peace.

I found the following for 9:11
"But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand."
And if you read it in context it sounds like those of the "faith" should definately fight those who are not.

The 'Eagle' has landed in his own pool of blood
and arrogance and stupidity, compounded by
LIES UPON LIES(proven)
Bush and his gang of Thugs are the
foreign terrorists wreaking havoc in
a country that we have no business whatsoever
being there. And of course, Bush says he will not
be deterred from his killing course--this is the
same man who hid under the couch in the Vietnam War.
This is the same man that is already denying rightful
benefits to those poor kids who are getting wounded
and killed in Iraq. And this is the same man who has
already cut pensions from the Veterans of all wars.
You pro-war people sure were quick with your yellow
ribbons flying, to salve your own conscience, so why
aren't you so quick to support the troops when they
really need it. You should all take Bush to task for
his constant lies and a stupid policly in Iraq and
save our men and women from anymore useless killing.
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME AND LET BUSH AND CO. STEW IN

So what are you saying? That because there is clearly evil in the world that good does not exist - and that there cannot possibly be a God. The questions of why a good God would allow evil, suffering and pain, have been asked by all generations. Our own Jewish tradition deals with this question extensively in the book of Job. You might try reading that someday in an attempt to understand what answers are provided there. Another Jewish prophet, speaking for God declared "My ways are not your ways. As far as the heavens are above the earth so are my way above yours." Our lack of ability to answer the most perplexing questions in life does not mean that there are no answers. It just means we are limited in our understanding. Man afterall is not God.

The quote from Genesis was a description of the world just before the Flood, and was in answer to Rita's question in the quote above it. The human condition is no different now--with the exception of an open door to salvation from sin. The answer to Rita's question, for the majority of humankind, is "Never." There will be no world peace until there is true peace in every human heart--and that will never happen. But a few will find peace. I just don't see that kind of peace on this message board.

back to arguing religion again???
OK!!! well it has been relatively quiet lately...
there is nothing on earth to prove or disprove the existence
of god, heaven, hell, or any other religious belief...
it is what it is for gods sake <-- ironic, no???
so just live and let live... let each one discover for
themselves what they want to believe and get off your
high horse, for christ's sake <-- more irony!
myself... i try and practice compassion... that meets all
my needs spiritually... it provides immediate payment to
my inner self by making me feel good... if there is an
afterlife... i do not really care about a god that will
hold me guilty for not mumbling a few words... but will
redeem the most dispicable character for mumbling those

is the actual criteria for absolution)... but i really do
not like theology very much... anyones... and especially
those followers of theology who want to tell everyone
else how to live...
by the way... i agree... it is not likely that we will ever
have "peace on earth"... to many humans abound... <-- irony
also if i have misused the word irony by pointing out things

From: stan stan22@ekno.com 11/15/2003

In fact I wasn't raising the question of good God, bad things at all. Just questioning the good sunsets means God theory. God means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
Stew, you say true peace will never happen in people, sounds pretty shortsighted to me, can you see 100,000 years in the future?
But I have a request...
This a personal appeal for help getting my new book - now in a middling draft - edited. It's the story of Sunnyridge (and a lot more) only set in the year 2999. In the case of String of Pearls, my first book, time and money and life conspired to compell me to publish it without proper professional editing, and it shows, and I am committed to putting out an upgraded second edition eventually.
But first, a significantly higher priority is my novel. It will have much wider appeal and has to be done right the first time. I’m including a brief synopsis to give you an idea of what you’d be supporting.
If you can afford $20 - $50 - $100 - $200 towards the $3000 I need to hire an old friend who is perfect for the job, send me an email and I'll let you know where to send the check. What you’d get, in addition to feeling good about helping and being paid back as soon as I get my slippery hands on a significant chunk of moola, is a signed copy, however small the contribution.
Also let me know if getting paid back is a high or low priority - everybody will be paid eventually, but I might not get the whole $3000 in my hands at one time.
Y3K
Y3K is a look back from the year 2999 at the world’s looming social/ecological crisis - I figure in the middle twenty-teens - from the viewpoint of thirtieth century hippie communalists, here called ‘huggers’. In contrast to virtually all novels of the future I’ve come across which are either post-apocalyptic disaster scenarios or depictions of built worlds covered with 200 story buildings but whose people have not evolved mentally or spiritually, Y3K postulates a peaceful, pastoral future where wars, human degredations and large income disparities are long past.
Loosely based on the biblical ‘1000 years of peace’ subsequent to ‘Entropy Gaia’, the earth’s near death experience, it describes a world’s people who have learned their lesson, i.e., they live lightly on the earth and allow the natural environment to regenerate. The conflict arises, ‘Satan returns’, in the form of a political movement that proposes to reestablish a cycle of growth and exploitation starting with logging of ancient forests which have been held inviolate for the previous millennium.
It is an exposition of communal life - I postulate about 100 million of the world’s 1.7 billion people in 2999 living in communal families - and my views on nearly everything; God, spirituality, society, politics, environment, love, sex, drugs, what have you.
Y3K is a road novel that nearly circles the world - it takes place in about a month in the fall of 2999 and describes different cities and communal families and huggers’ attempts to protect the forest and counter the new growth mania.
Y3K is hopeful in the long run, pessimistic in the short view. It describes a hip earthly paradise under threat from the very same callous and disrespectful attitudes towards life and the environment that we deal with today. But at least Eden is attainable.

hello all. sitting with my coffee waiting for my annual eye
check-up and listening to the radio.( Simply Red, holding
back the years...love that song.)
yesterday at work I came across an interesting item. as I
was trying to clean-up what was an old chicken coop, I
noticed out of the corner of my eye a piece of paper
stapled to the outside wall. I'd seen it before, but never
really took time to ckeck it out. The reason I took notice
this time was because I saw the name "Korican" in the upper
left corner. When I got closer, I realized that it was an
original eviction notice from Sunnyridge! I coudn't believe
it. The upper left corner has Peter, Betty, Leah, and Nina's
names. The gist of it says all people will be removed and
all buildings will be destroyed on these premesis, etc, etc.
I thought if anyone was interested, I'd "carefully" take it
down, maybe send it to you Ted, unless there's bad memories
or something and Peter and family would rather I just leave
it where it is. I'll wait for some feedback before doing
anything with it. peace to all.
From: Ted webmaster@sunnyridge.net 11/18/2003

mij, that must of been so cool.
I would love to make a "history page" out of the notice or if we get feedback from the Koricans that it is somewhat private, we could either post it on the password protected Questionaire area or Secret Garden or....not! There's my feedback.
From: mij 11/19/2003

Ted, thanks for your feedback. I'll try to carefully take
it down today and then we'll get it to you and we'll go
from there.....
Later today I'm gonna try to make it out to the Illinois
river falls, the ones about 3 miles or so out eight dollar
road. A couple of friends were there yesterday, and said it
was an amazing sight! literally thousands of fish are
waiting to get up river. He said he's never seen that many
fish before, and that you could almsot walk across the river
on them. anyway, I'll get back later with details. peace.

Ted, I'm sending you a scanned copy of the sunnyridge
eviction notice via E-mail, and will try to get the paper
itself to you via regular mail.
Remember, this is almost 25 yrs old, so it's hard to read
in places, although if you look hard you can read just about
all of it. The paper itself was origanally in laminate, but
it will still be a trick to get it to you in one piece. I
hope this is ok for now.

Tomorrow is December 7--"THE DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY"
And in 63 years, have we as a people,
come any closer to knowing that war
never solved a thing. Of course not.
Just look around--
Korean Police Action-1949-1954-
Thousands killed, maimed, cities
ruined, people homeless--never should
have been there, it never solved a thing
and after 50 years, our troops are still there.
FOR SHAME AMERICA
VIETNAM WAR--A DOUBLE SHAME FOR AMERICA.
AGAIN, AMERICA WAS NOT THREATENED--
The use of napalm, whole villages being
burned, and subjecting these 18 and 19 year
old teenagers to such horrors, under the phony
'warcry' of stopping communism. Of course, we didn't.
The Gulf War--Desert Storm
Again, We were not threatened one iota.
Again, we bombed and we bombed and we bombed
the hell out of Iraq--made an ungodly mess
out of that country. And for why?? Ask the
veterans of that war--all the 'yellow-ribbon'
people weren/t supporting 'the troops' when they
came home--they came home sick and our goverment
just turned their backs to them--to this day the
veterans of that war are still trying to get their due.
THE IRAQ WAR--We definitely should not have
started that war. The government lied to us,
But did we raise our voices when we were told
we were lied to? Of course not. There were a few
cries of protest here and there. But the yellow
ribbon people never came to support the troops,
like they did when they sent the boys to war on
a people who were not any threat whatsoever to America
A TRIPLE SHAME to AMERICA--and the shame is that our boys
are still there getting killed and wounded and mentally
depressed--America is in a quagmire we can't get out of.
I do hope next time our government wants to war,
we will not be so gullible and think by supporting
war, you are supporting our troops.

Re: Rita's claim that Saddam "had no WMD". Please explain to me (and the 1000's of dead Kurds) that the poisonous gases e.g. mustard gas, sarin etc.)that he used many times are NOT a weapon of mass destruction. What would you call these toxins??? A bad air day?
From: eugene 12/17/103
5:29 P.M.
dear lester...
those weapons (actually chemicals and technology) were supplied
to the iraqis in the 1980's by france, germany, and (yes!)
the united states... at the time iraq was at war with (guess)
iran... and we along with other countries wanted to overthrow
the ayatollahs... we knew they had them and we knew they
used them and we stood by and did nothing... this was with
the implicit acceptance of the use by rumsfeld, cheney etc...
they were at that time in the reagan administration...
the UN documented the destruction of over 90% of the WMD
that were left over in the 1990's... so it is possible that
there were some perhaps as much as 10% remaining when we
went to war this time... and yes they did use some against
the kurds... i am fairly certain this was ALSO in the late
1980's before we went to war with iraq the first time...
again we did and said nothing... again rumsfeld et.al. knew
about it... and as of yet nothing has been found in iraq this
time around... so between the hypocrisy and the twisted use
of intelligence reports for political means... i am a bit
hesitant to believe anything the current administration has
to say about this...
and... saddam was a real asshole and i am glad that he is
gone... but... sometimes the cure is worse than the disease
remember: "we had to destroy the village to save it" ???
and... i hope all turns out well in iraq and for the iraqi
people... but the fact is the current administration lies
and is in the process of destroying this country... all that
will be left are the very rich and the very poor... the very
definition of a third world country... let us hope we can
oust the criminals and charlatan patriots!

Psalm 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

Ted, just wanted to say what a cool job you do with this
web site......
Ted, you do a cool job with this website!
Peace and happy holidays to you and yours, and to all
ex-ridgers, wherever you may be.
I leave you with a christmas poem....
"There once was a man from Nantucket"....
oops, wrong one! let's try again..
Reflecting back on those times, it's a special mood
thinking of family, friends, and generic food
riding into town, in that flatbed machine
loaded with hippies, dogs, and kids..twas quite a scene
barreling in the flatbed, down the tarder gulch drainage
hoping to find a store that would except hippie patronage
and though many at that time wanted to put us in the slammer
we we're always welcome at a place called hammer's
and though we,ve all moved on to different stages
ditchdiggers, librarians, designer of webpages
We all have that feeling that only we know
Remembering those times with a warm peaceful glow
Peace to all.

Growing up in a Jewish home in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s, there was no Christmas for us. And so I have no sentimental attachments to card-sending, gift-giving, Christmas trees, lights, home-baked cookies, and such. In a way, I’m glad, because these types of things never present a distraction for me.
My parents might have worried that we were jealous of the Gentile kids, and all the fuss that was made. But I don’t recall feeling jealous; we Jewish kids got to play with candles and candle wax for eight days.
Back then the elementary schools would have Christmas assemblies. During them, the whole school would sing “Silent Night.” I knew I wasn’t supposed to sing that; my family had nothing to do with “yon virgin mother and child.” My mother told me to just move my lips, to pretend to be singing. She was, no doubt, afraid that if I didn’t at least appear to be singing, I might be singled out as a Jew. The memory of the Holocaust and the concentration camps was still fresh in the minds of Jewish Americans.
About ten years later, I read the Gospels for the first time. I had never read anything like them before. I loved Jesus, and believed everything He said. So I put Him with my other gods, with Buddha and Krishna and Lao-tzu and Bodhidharma and such, up there on my god-shelf. Now Christmas became a special time for me, and I could imagine the light of the Christmas star shining pure white down through the centuries, timeless.
But merely believing what Jesus said wasn’t enough, and seeing Him as just one of many ascended masters wasn’t enough. It wasn’t until eighteen years later that I came to understand my hopelessly lost condition. My ship was sinking, and I couldn’t swim. I begged Him to save me, and He did, instantly. He was my life-saver, and still is. That was eighteen years ago. Since that day, every day is Christmas for me. I wake up each morning out of a confusion of dreams, and remember the One to Whom I belong. Every day, Jesus is born in me again, and every day becomes a new Christmas Day.
“So--we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.”

some deep thoughts from shallow minds:
"Laughter is the best medicine".....but in certain
situations, the Heimlich Maneuver may be more appropiate.
"It takes a village to raise a child".....to hate all the
people in the next village.
"You can do anything if you want it bad enough".....guess
that's why we so many can fly.
"You have to learn to crawl".....before you can grovel.
"Every dog has his day".....of course, that day consists
of smelling other dogs butts.
"You can run, but you can't hide".....except, apparently,
along the Afganistan-Pakistan border.
"An optimist sees the glass half full".....and then goes
for a new pair of glasses.
"children are a joy and a boon in your old age"..... so is
regularity.
"Good things come to those who wait".....said by someone in
the DMV line.

Those nagging shallow thoughts again!:
"Better safe than sorry".....What sorry said about safe.
"Strike while the iron is hot".....A steelworker's
picket sign.
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you".....What the jailer
always said to Hannibal Lecter.
"No news is good news".....Unless your a T.V anchorman.
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks".....What the pimp
said to Phylis Diller.
"The pen is mightier than the sword".....now, put the second
and third words together...
"A penny saved is a penny earned".....NOT!
later.
