Gosh, nothing much to report here. I get today and tomorrow off from work, so tonight i might go and watch Harry Potter which i have heard some good reports about. Notre Dame won, Auburn beat Alabama. Crazy people are getting crazier all the time (I might or might not be talking about Joseph Farah and Pat Robertson).
If i could say something thought-provoking or stimulating, it might be this:
Christ is in you. Take that how you like. It is written in the Christian Scriptures a few times. Paul said it outright, and Jesus promised to send his holy spirit, our advocate.
This teaching leads to some interesting conclusions. We all share a lot in common. We are all made of the stuff of the earth, we are all H. sapiens, but we also share some kind of divine spark. In "The Silmarillion" only Eru (the One) can give a special life-giving thing called the "Flame Imperishable". The Quakers talk about the "Inner Light" that guides us. I think these descriptions come pretty close to it.
Look past division and labels and get to the heart of the matter; there's a lot more similarity that difference when it comes to people.
