The Spiritual

I have joined a number of "spiritual" groups over the last year or so. I did so in the hopes of gaining information and sharing ideas with people of the same ilk. My findings so far? As long as I avoid issues which are complicated or have any depth to them whatsoever, things go smoothly. Not that they don't go smoothly when I do post things of that sort---just no one will respond. I do notice a large contingent of "spiritual" people who really dig rainbows, hugs, stars, animals and flowers. Pretty pretty.

Fave GW Description

My favourite GW description so far has been "anti-intellectual". Of course that makes perfect sense. If you are going to run the most powerful country in the world into the ground you should have something to fall back on as an excuse.

Call of the Wild

I play guitar and try to sing. Have done so for many years. I seem to get the most praise for it when we go on holidays and are camping in the wilderness (provincial park). What the hell is God trying to tell me?

Musings from the University Chair

*sniff* hmmmm *sniff* hmmm *wrinkles nose* Thats crazy. Why do all the guys walking past my table smell like bubblegum cologne and stale cigarettes?

The State of Church

I was channel surfing and came across a discussion on the "new" catholic church. The interviewer asked the question and the male spoke first.
Male: "I think people have to remeber that the church serve 1.1 billion people from all walks of life all over the world. While I understand people would like change the catholic church has to change slowly and gradually to accomodate all of its followers. We in North America may want change to come much quicker while those in Africa perhaps much more gradually."
Female : " People have to understand that the church does not work under the same ideals as society. The church is neither liberal or conservative. These are political terms that have no place in the bible."
My take on these two : "Talk about tripe. The people of Africa, I would wager heavily, would dearly love change to come quickly and in abundant amounts. As for political terms and the church; the catholic church is a government. It has its laws, its followers, workers etc...
This interview was mainly about the problems facing the catholic church. If these two are indicative of the people running the church you can pretty safely say catholicism will definitely continue to have its controversies. And thank God for that huh.

The Fool Am I

She trips the switch to ignite the line of information that illuminates a dark mind. A special spatial glimmering of words/worlds come dance to life. Of thoughts from brilliant daring leaps of logic, hope, imagination. I blurt out a destination which is recieved with a voracious curiousity only to be reminded of a day best left forgotten. With a quivering lip I am shown to be the fool I am.
