Southern Women and Crime (cont.)

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

There’s a reason we have many more songs of peace than songs of war.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Life never waits for us to get ready. It comes at us, full time, from all directions. It is a torrent of events, activities, ideas and sensations, a flow we attempt to channel, control or hold behind a protective dam. We can’t, for life overwhelms us from the moment of conception until our breathing stops.

I think you want us to feel the wonder of it all, to appreciate the glory of life as you give it to us and make us part of it.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Friday was not such a good day for me.”

[No, not what He told the two on the road to Emmaus.]

D. Blog: Southern Women and Their Crimes (cont.)

Danielle Gerding Owen, 26, of Asheville, charged with embezzlement. According to the arrest warrant, Owen embezzled $100 in cash from Burger King on Fairview Road where she worked. She was released under $2,000 unsecured bond.

[I don’t understand how taking some cash from the till of a fast food joint counts as “embezzlement.” More like supplementing a less than livable wage, or entrepreneurial activity by the desperately poor.]
