Spin

 

You cannot trust people who, at 6:00 A.M., get on a bike for a ride that goes no where.  Then they throw a birthday party for some guy who just hit the big 80.  You cannot trust that Jewish Community Center!

    For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use,

    The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

    The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

    Both are good translations.

    True? 

    No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them.
