Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against US.

Easy words to say, The Lord's Prayer. Harder to Live. Good to look up, and on others, just to accept their ways and look down. You get what you give in LIFE.

Here's something funny I read today, funny was in short supply since I read something untrue that turned my stomach this morning. Anyway, enjoy this one and laugh at its poor subject:

When she was backed into a corner, she lashed out, suggesting that people who disagreed with her feelings were racists. Eventually, she was so upset that she began crying. Of course, at that point the possibility of civil intellectual discourse completely evaporated.

It's sad that some folks don't know how to honestly handle disagreement, controversy, chaos, aging and death. Give us, O Lord, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us...

Have a safe and sober New Year's, friends. May we all continue to recognize and appreciate our blessings in 2007. And who knows, maybe our paths will again cross next year, under only healthy circumstances. (and to complete the spiritual theme in this time of light in darkness) Peace be with you, Mary
