Bittersweet about the son, but thrilling to know he is doing so well.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle

He's all grown up now! I bet you are really, really proud of him, as you should be. :)
Dark Energy. It can be found in the observable Universe. Found in ratios of 75% more than any other substance. Dark Energy. It can be found in religious extremists, in cheerleaders. To come to the conclusion that Dark signifies mean and malevolent would define 75% of the Universe as an evil force. Alternatively, to think that some cheerleaders don't have razors in their snatch is to be foolishly unarmed.

Yes I am very proud of him. He pretty well has his first real job lined up after the summer research work - it's with the same professor, who was also his research advisor and who NAGGED the kid to apply for the position. But just in case, he is working on resumes for other potential jobs. AND he is still investigating having the Navy or Public Health Service send him to med school....

The poor old Biddy wonders why all of you are here? Lonely???? Sunday my grandaughter came home to visit, with her husband and 3 month old daugher, my great grandaughter. My grandaughter has a phD and is an Asst. Professor at a southern college. Wait Leah till you have one of your own great little creatures. I also have a three year old great grandson he is the cutest. Sometimes I wish I were a little more lonely, so I could just sit home and relax. As for talking about Yeshua, I didn't start this conversation. The question being is Jesus Christian or Jew. My answer is He is a Jew. My question would then have to be How could a Jewish man raised in a Jewish home teach the nonsense taught in todays churches. My answer is simply He didn't! |

Wohali, Has anyone told you lately that your posts are great?!!!! Short, to the point, and great! It's a gift to be able to put a feeling all in a nutshell as you can do. I love that.

Thank you River, but praise is underserved. I'm just a grouchy old Indian. |
