I enjoyed your posting so much - even read it to my husband,

I’ve spiffed it up, renamed you, and have put some of it on my own blog, as the first of a multi-part series. The succeeding parts I’ll put here first, however. And if you’re kind enough to say your hubby enjoyed the post, I guess I should tell @pudgy that my wife loved the cartoon about why you shouldn’t be drunk when adopting a dog.

Alas, the post has earned you one or two ‘MYOB’ responses. Not to worry, though. I’ll run interference for you. I respect you for the courage to say something you know is going to be unpopular.

I am - I love dancing and usually get everyone to dance.  I usually entertain everyone.  I am not stuck up - which I assume you think I am because I stick up for principles.  I love Jehovah and people......

It wasn’t the principles as much as it was judging your fellow brother. 

Not to worry. As far as I know, George didn’t take out a contract on her. I appreciate her remarks for the principle it brings up, even if I see no need to apply it to any specific person.

My wife was sputtering when her student sent her a clip of the song, ‘What if God were one of us.’ It’s the next line that grabbed her: ‘just a slob like one of us.’

Relax, I said, it’s so seldom you see anything remotely spiritual in pop media, she probably got all excited by it, as a new one might be enthralled at Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments, overlooking how he pops Pharaoh is the nose and gets the girl.
