Christ's Church on Earth

Please note that much of the evidence in the report cited above came from Vatican records. Again, these weren't files hidden away in individual church or school basements, but records kept at corporate headquarters, records of crime and abuse filed, stored and hidden by the fearless and noble leaders of God's kingdom on earth. The richest and most powerful were more than happy to sacrifice the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children to protect their own lily white Roman robes. They are all of them honorable men, no?

Quick Moment of Self Congratulatory Bullshit

I am under 200 pounds for the first time in three years. I have lost 30 in the last four months. I have 20 to go. Should I reach that goal, I will likely post an "after" pic. I am, of course, too vain to post a "before."

much peace,

Reciprocal

The sun heats the bedrock from morning 'til night,
and the wind breathes a song to the grass:
"hush, hush"

The sand shifts around the bright cactus blooms,
and whispers a song to the stone
"sigh, sigh"

A surprise of rain patters and cools,
and the granite repeats to the sky:

"I love thee
I love thee
I love thee"
