Instead of a Veterans Day, we should have a No War Day. – Andy Rooney, WWII Veteran
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
I feel your awesome mystery in nature, in the relative vastness of Earth, the stretch of this continent. I feel a kind of depression, though, in the press of humanity as we look for ways to encounter nature’s wonders. As part of the throng, we become spectators and collectors, not conscious participants in the realm of nature. This reminds me of people who come to worship as spectators, not as fully conscious members of a community. May we know our place in both.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“So, how’s that multiplication problem working out?”
[Problem? What problem? He never said this.]

ASHEVILLE — A Hickory man has been arrested by Asheville police on a 1993 warrant for stolen property, according to warrants filed at the Buncombe County Magistrate’s Court. Joe Cofield, 50, of Hickory was charged with possession of perfume and clothing stolen from the Hess’s department store in Biltmore Square Mall in 1992. He was being held in the Buncombe County Detention Center with bond set at $5,000.

[There are cold cases and there are cold cases. In this case, the store no longer exists and the mall is almost out of business. 17-year-old perfume and clothing probably don't fit current fashion, either, but this case goes into the solved column.]
