Cover of Joshua: A Parable for Today

Joshua: A Parable for Today by Joseph F . Girzone. This easily read in a few hours story is an updated version of the life of Jesus as it might occur in today’s world. Changing the setting from biblical times to the present day gives the story much strength and immediacy. There are several sequels of varying worth. This is the original and the one that I recommend most heartedly. If you enjoy it as I much as I did, you will want to read others,  such as Joshua and the Children.

Everyone loves a boycott. You boycott the sponsors of liberals and I’ll boycott the sponsors of conservatives, and before you know it, we’ll all be spending all our time boycotting each other. Then nothing will be done to solve the nation’s problems. Isn’t that the current situation with the GOP blockading Obama‘s agenda? Stupid me, I thought elections were held to choose winners and losers. The GOP won’t accept that they lost. Like Santorum, they seem to believe that God chose the GOP to rule the US forever more and through the US to rule the world. I have news for you guys and gals, we cannot afford to rule the world and I for one refuse to support that agenda. Good luck.

Different theology

According to Rick Santorum, Barack Obama practices a different theology. I was raised in the Congregational church and each congregation was free to interpret the Bible as they chose. In fact, each individual could read the Bible in different ways. My parents believed that members of the Catholic church were instructed what to believe by the Pope. There are many different Protestant denominations and I suspect that each interprets the Word of God differently. That is what gives rise to religious disputes, the burning or beheading of heretics and religious wars in the past. As a practising agnostic, I am not an expert on religion. I prefer to mind my own business as long as my neighbor minds his/hers.

The Spirit of Christmas

From Beside the Still Waters by George Z. Keller

“I am thrilled by the spirit of Christmas,
I am happy because of it all;
The smiles on the faces of children
Are always a joy to recall.

For Christmas belongs to the youngsters,
And for them it is always a day
When the cares and the hurts they have suffered,
Are forgotten and all swept away.

For, you see, it’s quite easy in childhood
To forgive, and forget, and be glad;
But years make it hard for age to discard
All the sorrows and pain we have had.

When the days start to gather momentum,
And the years fly past like a bird,
Then our swan song is sung, for no longer we’re young,
And the words are the saddest I’ve heard.

But, in fancy, we all can be children,
And respond to the day, as of old;
From our worries and doubt let us all face about,
And resolve a new outlook to mold.

Let us welcome the day and be merry,
And may God His rich blessings release;
Our Christ is the Spirit of Christmas,
His love is the spirit of peace.”
