B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
I took a walk today. I often do. I knew you were with me, as usual, because amazing things happened. I went to the grocery store, where there were foods and school supplies and household items diverse, in quantity, and of high quality. That was a good stop.
From the grocery store, I walked a few blocks to the post office, for I had an important packet of papers to send. The deadline for their submission is only three days from now. The postal service guarantees the papers will arrive in two days, even though this is a weekend. That’s a good thing, made even better by a courteous clerk.
The walk’s next stop was at the bank. I needed more cash in my wallet. Even though it’s not a weekday and the bank is closed, the automated teller machine worked like a machine and gave me the cash I requested. It was amazing! Another good stop.
Next stop was a little coffee shop. I wanted something to drink. It was just right, and with cup in hand, I walked to the market where dozens of vendors sell their wars. I was especially interested in seeing the artwork. Some of that appealed to me, but what really caught my attention was a large photography of some colorful wildflowers found right here in the heart of the city. What an incredible walk! Thanks for taking me along with you.
Amen

D. Blog: Word of the Week -- "Sheeple"
Short for "Sheep People".
1) Groups who reactively act from saturation advertising, fads, trends and a need to go along with the crowd.
2) Those who let "group think" affect their decisions instead of their own individuality.
3) The nickame given to those whose purchasing habits match those of large demographic sectors by 80% or greater. -- B.J. West (as cited on siliconvalleyslang.com)
