Fifteen Years…

No Gravatar

My 50th birthday. I was flying to New York City. To see a series of Broadway and Off-Broadway plays. And, to pop in to a special event for a youth group with which I was most active when I was young and living in New York. (Little did I know when I was a member that the organization was born the same day I was, too!)  Getting to spend a little more than 4 days enjoying this milestone birthday.

I remember being assigned to read ‘The Jungle’ by Upton Sinclair and ‘Elmer Gantry’ by Sinclair Lewis way back in what is now called middle school. Admittedly, I often confused the two writers’ names, but I enjoyed the two books immensely. And, learned that our commerical (and religious) industries still need a lot of work.   (That still hasn’t changed all that much in half a century, either.)

The Ides of April (give or take)

This year provides an unusual confluence of events.

150 years ago, this past Thursday, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses P. Grant.  Which meant that the Civil War, the war between the North and the South, the war between factions in America was “officially” over.  But, like our Battle for Independence, the war went on for at least a few more months.  There wasn’t instant communication back then- but. more importantly, to my mind, the war is still ongoing.

Those of you who know me will recognize that this is pretty normal for me to discuss.  For those of you who only know me from reading my blog, this will seem way out of the ordinary.  And, it is- but events demand folks take action, consider their (and other’s) actions, and try to stop this craziness.  And, I’m breaking into my queue to publish this NOW.
