Does The Pope...

[Recidiva]

I like the Pope. Go Francis!

I am enjoying the shakeup at the Vatican.

I liked Pope John, and Ratzinger gave me the horror creeps, but this guy is pretty awesome.

Cold calling people he hears about to offer them solace. Getting a less ostentatious chair. Actually caring about substance over style and occasionally ditching the style.

This is an excellent upturn in the spiritual dialogue. Glad to have you aboard, Mr. Pope Francis. I am unwashed heathen but I think you're an improvement.

You can only be a Saint.


I can be a Savior.

You want to laugh with the sinners or cry with the Saints?

I'm definitely a sinner. I like to laugh.

But I do like a good cry also.

Josephine Marcus: Fun, though, wasn't it?
Wyatt Earp: You'd die for fun?
Josephine Marcus: Wouldn't you?

*laugh* Yup. I would. Maybe not any more, it'd be pretty crappy to leave my kids motherless for a laugh, but on my own? Damned right I would.

I'm an agnostic. I just think most of it is beyond my certainty one way or the other, but human behavior I can parse. Pope's human.

I have just had lots of those moments in my youth. When I went white water rafting the instructor had us walk along the edge of the river to look at the rapids we were about to traverse.

"Rapids have classifications. They are 1-5. Flat water is a 1. Niagara Falls is a 5. This is a 4." We were given the choice to avoid those falls if we wished.

My first thought was "I'm going to die." and not in a funny, ha ha way. My second thought was "Okay, let's do it."

It was lots of fun.

What makes you stronger is walking away from something that you were sure was going to kill you, especially if it is scratch free.


Too often, the major damage occurred on what appeared to be a lark.

Of course, that may have been the drugs and booze...

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood Supporters Impose Sharia-Based Jizya Tax On Christians In Areas Under Their Control…




Via Raymond Ibrahim:


Now that the attacks on Egypt’s Christian churches have subsided, stage two of the jihad — profiting from the fear and terror caused by stage one — is setting in: reports are arriving that the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters are forcing the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in south Minya province to pay jizya — the money, or tribute, that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords “with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued” to safeguard their existence, as indicated in Koran 9:29.

According to Fr. Yunis Shawqi, who spoke yesterday to Dostor reporters in Dalga, all Copts in the village, “without exception,” are being forced to pay tribute, just as their forefathers did nearly 1400 years ago when the sword of Islam originally invaded Christian Egypt. He said that the “value of the tribute and method of payment differ from one place to another in the village, so that, some are being expected to pay 200 Egyptian pounds per day, others 500 Egyptian pounds per day…”

That I survived was luck of the rapids and skill of the instructor. My daughter also went sky diving because it scared her, but she loved it and did it twice.

It's not wise to take those risks, but it can be helpful to overcome fears and realize that risk and fear shouldn't keep you from doing things if you can manage the risk and the fear properly.

I jumped out of a plane once. ----- ONCE!!!


Low-level, four bangs: The angry Marine Gunny banging you out the door, the bang of the air hitting you, the bang of the chute deployment and the bang of the ground and it all happened in about the time it takes these big ol' hands to type it out.


Never again!

There's an episode in this season of Top Chef Masters where they would give an extra hour of prep time to chefs if they'd get to the location by jumping out of a plane.

Only one guy didn't do it. And these are guys who are all successful and doing it for charity, not the young and hungry. The established and confident. I might not volunteer to do it or pay to do it, but hell yeah, I'd do that. I'd probably be scared, but I'd also be thinking it had the possibility to be a hell of a lot of fun under the right circumstances and the right mindset.

I would prep faster and give them $5...

I'm really rather anti-Catholicism, but I do actually think this Pope is a breath of fresh air, and I believe he is going to bring the church into a new era of (relative) transparency and accountability. Something that is long, long, long overdue. I like what I have seen from him so far.
