Yesterday, the kids in our Presbyterian (PCUSA) church took center stage for our annual observance of the Children’s Defense Fund’s “Children’s Sabbath,” singing for us, reading the liturgy, helping collect our tithes, and participating in our kickoff of this year’s Trick-Or-Treat For UNICEF.

Rev. Wendy used each facet of the service to politely but directly hammer away at people -- including a chunk of our parishioners -- who claim to care about the poor, especially poor children, but cannot or will not see that the politicians, tax policies, and legislation they support are greedy and indifferent, inflicting injury and death on the least fortunate in our country and around the world -- and especially children. I wanted to jump up and cheer, but... we’re Presbyterians... we do (and sing) more than we talk, no noisy demonstration, no testifying, no proselytizing.

Instead, we mob her at the sanctuary door. Yeah! What she said! :D

This wasn't the "first diary" I had in mind, and I apologize for its length, but I was contacted this afternoon by my late mother's home healthcare company (based in Knoxville, Tennessee) because the Evil Ones, led by DOCTOR "First Do No Harm To Wealthy Contributors" Frist, are in the process of doing genuine -- potentially fatal -- harm to untold thousands of U.S. citizens suffering from emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and other chronic/degenerative respiratory diseases that require the use of portable oxygen tanks, oxygen concentrators, and tubing and other supplies. To wit: You get 36 months of oxygen therapy and if you're still alive after that YOU'RE ON YOUR F-ING OWN. Read More
