Republican Anger

Wed May 31, 2006 at 10:01:28 PM PDT

Anger is here to stay.  It's natural and healthy.  I've always heard it defined as friction: energy which builds up as a product of daily life while bumping into things, being crowded by others, being startled, being unappreciated, being delayed, being made to feel unimportant or unappreciated or finding a lump in the mattress or a fly in the soup.  Add to this our other unfulfilled expectations.  

We have to face it: life is unreasonable; there is no guaranteed happiness.  There's no rose garden or bowl of cherries.  A warm gun perhaps (but only if you're a Beatle fan).

And, for us, that was while Clinton was in office.

Christianity - a reminiscence

Wed May 10, 2006 at 11:45:00 AM PDT

Years ago, after a long day at a client's office, I knew I was facing terrible traffic on the way home. So, I stopped at a supermarket to buy a drink before my ordeal.

Exiting the store, I was confronted by a man at a table with a banner asking for donations. He was a black man and big -- NFL linebacker big -- maybe 6'6" and 300 pounds. He asked if I had a minute, and facing an hour's drive, it was easy to give it to him. He shook my hand. His was huge, like a baseball glove, and warm and soft. His demeanor was nothing short of loving. A man-mountain of love.  I can't seem to forget that.
