And Why Not?

I wonder if sales of pepper spray have jumped in the last week.

Everybody's using it of late. Campus police, Black Friday shoppers, off-duty policemen.

Maybe I need to get some.

Sickened

The Penn State mess breaks a person's heart. It is truly sickening to know there are people like that. No need to go into detail here. Details are everywhere just now. Turn on your TV or radio or internet.

Three scriptures have come to mind, all saying the same thing, and they echo what has been circulating in my brain.

Romans 3:10, Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1-3. In essence, there is none that doeth good, none righteous; no, not one.

That's how I'm feeling, looking at college football today, wondering, worrying. Thinking of my boys and my girls and their boys and girls, with their sweetness and innocence. Yes, I pray for a shelter over all of them.

Proud of him? Not

Sarkozy and Obama in private conversation about Israel's Netanyahu:

Sarkozy: I cannot bear Netanyahu. He's a liar.
Obama: You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you.

Only, turns out the mikes were on.

Beyond awkward, beyond unwise, beyond stupid.

These are our world's leaders.
