Senator Blunt Is Contagious. Plague Alert!
See no child as the product of wedlock.
Abba's Way: 47 On Child and Marriage:
Where to begin? Well I’ll start at the end.
See no child as the product of wedlock.
See each child as but Abba’s jealous claim.
See marriage as a word people have made
To speak whatever language they prefer.
See children as those whom adults once were.
Despair of sorting through parental blames,
A simple reason would spare us this play.
But passion is not simple, nor is rage.
And reason will be crushed, kids made to pay,

It is children Abba is concerned with and the treatment of children upon which our humanity is judged. This is what makes today's "Christian" concern with conception so hypocritical. If the church protected all children on earth it would have no time for this silliness. If you think this has no mandate Biblically, look to the gospels.

Why then are children such an afterthought?
What of infatuation? Is that love?
And if so, what of children? Of the child?
Children are such brats, imperious.
Children are no noisy, shut them up.
Why can’t we have time just for ourselves?
I’m stuck here all day with these awful kids.
Now I am left alone. How to survive?
Marriage and family, the mantra goes.
Why then are children such an afterthought?
What of infatuation? Is that love?
A bond to win protection from the state.
Should love abate, the state divides the spoils.
Prenuptials define how deep love runs.
What of infatuation? Is that love?
Do we not know that marriage is for “love”?

What can be said of marriage and the child?
What can be said of marriage and the child?
The notion that a child takes precedence
Is heresy to self-indulgent ears.
Those who know Abba know life survives
Those who know Abba know life survives
Without demanding knowledge beyond death.
Those for whom Abba lives inwardly
Say yes to what in life lives beyond time.
Yes to work that brings visions alive,
Yes to play that plumbs the joys inside;
And yes to holy creativity,
That moves us past death’s shadows toward the light.
Marriage and family, the mantra goes.
Abba's Way: 47 On Child and Marriage:
Marriage and family, the mantra goes.
Why then are children such an afterthought?
Or like some program to be done from pride?
Or trophies to be always on display?
Or else abandoned in a thousand ways?
How mixed up and how mired in moral cant?

I'd say this is warning enough
Israel Won't Warn U.S. Before Iran Strike - Digg: "npr.org — Israeli officials say they won't warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, according to one U.S. intelligence official familiar with the discussions. The pronouncement, delivered in a series of private, top-level conversations, sets a tense tone ahead of meetings in the coming days at the White House and Capitol Hill."

Bob Dylan's "License to Kill" attains its greatest relevance now
Come on Russ
Poll: Democrats Gaining Momentum In Wisconsin Recall | National Memo | Breaking News, Smart Politics:
"One Democrat who could provide that very strong campaign is former Senator Russ Feingold. According to the poll, Feingold would hold a 52 - 45 percent advantage over Walker if he decided to run. Feingold has said that he won't join the race, but these numbers make it clear that he would be the Democrats' strongest candidate."

You can't divide seven pitchers into five spots
Girardi: 'No guarantees' beyond CC, Kuroda | yankees.com: News: ""We've got a competition here. We've got to iron out five spots," Girardi said. "And sometimes the five that you leave with aren't the five that you end up with. But we've got time, and there's no rush.""

The Gods of Ancient Times Were Consultants
Herodotus meets Ellroy: An Interval for Gods and Consultants:
"If you add up all the various experts who are paid to tell people and corporations and institutions and governments what to expect, how to achieve things and how best to proceed, you have the role of the gods in ancient times.
And the very same compensation was given. Gold in whatever form."

Abba within is very love itself
Abba's Way: 51. On Love of Neighbor:
Abba within is very love itself;
Therefore love of yourself is fair and wise.
Accepting this is your beginning point;
To know that you are loved beyond all loves.
