About 2 weeks --

The 'Hmmm" Department. Apparently some mega churches are closing Christmas Sunday. No services at all. Doors are closed. Now I'd like to say 'howscum'?? Even if it's NOT Christ's birthday, it's officially that. Some bureaucrats have been smoking too much interference potion. C'mon guys. Please, the human beings have far too much trivia to 'worry about' without adding some more.

Carl Sagan said it right. If you have been tuning into COSMOS running on DISCOVERY channel -- you'd know what I mean. We have far too much at stake to continue fighting over space in our sandbox. Let's call it a rest. Keep your religion to yourself in the best way you know how, and let others practice theirs the best way they know. Put away weapons. Put down arms. Stop committing murder in the name of a God. Our liittle blue marble in space is much too precious and vulnerable and humanity needs to grow up or it will perish.

Hug your mother. If she irritates you, hug her harder. The thorny roses have the best bloom and best perfume.

Stop whining "Why me", "I didn't ask to be born" and other put downs to rail at fate. For one, why not you. You charted for this when you asked for life, and Oh yes you did ask to be born. Most definitely. You don't remember because you aren't supposed to. No cheating!! Live your life, have fun, and stop being a crybaby.

Pain is a given on this planet. There is a lot more of Pain than of anything else. There's a reason for that too. Suck it up!

God answers ALL prayers. Sometimes He says 'no'. Sometimes He says not now. In all answers, he sends you love. He does care.

Death is this world's way of making room. You do not pass into oblivion, your essential being is still present, as is everyone's. Who wants to hang onto a diseased, warn out old carcass anyway?? Rather be 30 years old and flying!

And you will.

Trust me.

Have fun wrapping presents and spreading love --- K
