Susan Boyle and Beauty

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace is always welcome at our house.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One, Conceiver,

Your creative, life-forming eggs spill out into a limitless universe. You are the ever-fertile source of ideas and images and entities. From you, life springs forth and finds a place in the world. You make use of human brains and bodies to multiple and fill this Earth. I am in awe of your conception. No wonder there is the universal image of Mother Goddess. The DNA matches.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“A celibate priesthood would be a way to reduce sexual abuse of women by priests. On the other hand...”

[Nice idea, but then… And He never authorized it.]

D. Blog: Wondering…

- I wonder: does anybody else see an unholy trinity in Dick, Rush, and Holy Newt!?

- I wonder: whose idea was it to turn television into a 24-hour box of junk ads in every home?

- I wonder: if LeBron, Kobe and Dwight are such basketball superstars, how come none of their teams have won the championship in more than five years?

- I wonder: if Susan Boyle fit our notions of beauty, would the media have hounded her into psychiatric care?
