Musings on a winter day

Hello online friends,
It's not officially winter, but it sure feels like winter. We had a first snowfall last night and woke up to a white wonderland. Our little apartment felt cozy enough to bake a peach pie.

Now, I don't have it in me to continue to wax pedantic about immigration. I'd be preaching to the choir anyway. So, I'll let go of the post about contemporary immigration and NAFTA, and the post about who the real terrorists are. I'll skip right to the question that's important to me:

Why would any Christian be afraid of a terrorist anyway? What's with this orange alert bullshit for the heaven-bound? Jesus admonished us to be not afraid of those who would harm the body. He said we should fear the men who can steal our souls. I would say, therefore, that we should be more concerned about the soul stealers of our time: the fear mongers and those who make war in our name, the profiteers, the corporations that carelessly damage our one-and-only earth-nest, as well as the TV shows and other media messages that turn us into weak, selfish, lazy, materialistic, empty shells of humanity.

And that's my say for a winter day. Let's go sledding! Sending love to all,
Lilly
