Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.
So Rod Dreher's sister is battling cancer. It is nasty. Their faith is extraordinary. Here's his latest post (I think)

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

I have real difficulty with a religous Mormon being President just as many had difficulty with JFK almost 50 years ago. But JFK was essentially a ‘cultural Catholic’ as opposed to a religious one. There is a difference. I suppose Mitt Romney is not the kind of religious person that say Sam Brownback is. Sam wears his faith passionately and although I disagree with him on many many issues, I respect his integrity. Wouldn’t vote for Brownback, but I also wouldn’t go after him. Would just reasonably state my difference. Just can’t say the same about Mitt. He ran for governor on a platform of quite moderate positions on abortion and gay rights and to suddenly and conveniently deny those is – kind of icky. I prefer knowing where a person stands. don’t mind being in disagreement with someone, but hate slimy things that change with the wind. I suspect Mitt is a bit more like that – doesn’t have much to do with his Mormon religion – has a good deal to do with his lack of integrity. I might agree with Mitt on his more moderate stands, but still wouldn’t vote for him. Don’t know if that makes sense.

I’m not voting for a person thst adheres to a deceptive version of Christianity. If Romney were as honest as Joseph Smith (please see the sarcasm here), he would come out and say that he adheres to the “new” faith delivered a second time to the . . . well . . . third, fourth, fifth ot sixth time . . . to the saints. Sorry Mitt, until you, like J. Smith, declare all Christian denominations as apostate; AS SMITH DID SAY AND WRITE, you are not honest in “your” faith. Oh, and yeah . . . Jesus is not the spiritual “brother” of Satan. But also Mitt . . . the job you did in Massachusetts was horrible for anyone that even thinks he or she is a Christian. California and Massachusetts. The New Sodom and Gomorrah. massresistance.orgGo there and see Romney’s legacy!! Like I would want to see Romney President. NO!!! Way!!!
