g, you need to spend less time
reading Mein Kampf and perfecting your body, and more time reading the Word
and perfecting your righteousness. Iz

agree with that
if you were to pitch against
me, DavidM, you wouldn't think i'm *OW:)--no pitchers i play bb with
think that,but more the opposite in terms of fit/physique..esp when they see
one of their best pitches goin' ~400 feet outa the yard as has happened at
least twice in different games this
Spring
BUT, if we--many of us--go
to Somalia or Ethiopia or India they might wonder (to say the least) about our
lifestyle/s and concerns..
e.g., any one here can tyr
to imagine/think about being unable to choose what to eat..and/or feelin'
proud/lucky/blessed, etc. (or like dancin' in the street:) if
there's a pot with some rice and/or chicken (and even water!) boilin' in
it..
this kinda lifestyle
scenario is what it translates to when 40% of us are OW on the planet,
and 40% of us are flatass starvin..
is it our
'dream' or their 'nightmare'?
(then the Marines (ftr, i
was one in the artillery in the VN era) roll into town lookin'
for people/stuff that no one can find while Haliburtons/Cheneys of the
world, et. al., tell the starvin's gurus/dictators that they need a
x-#-of-billion-$ contract to re-build what the Air Force just blew the hell
out of so the tanks/cannons/troops could roll in on eeaaasy
street..
and that's called
'victory'..wheee long-time General so-and-so can retire now

i realize you
said you're 'thinkin' out loud here' and i like it! but i didn't try to
configure the comments, above, etc. about JC that tightly, your tendency as a
rule is to algorhythmize everything:)
(new word-eh?:)..
anyway, it's the matter
of how the NT portrays JC, how he thinks of himself (his
'responsibilites', Iz) that captures my
attention...
he came here both 'eating
and drinking', he said, and doin' that with sinful people perhaps like
Bill Clinton (whom i never supported/voted for) it
appears; but/yet JC (not Clinton <rof>) fasted alone on other
occasions...
i think a lot about what
this means, e.g. he doesn't sound like a Hindu or a Catholic or an Evangelical
<rof> ...whewy...

it's like eating--hard to
categorize NT-wise due to the role of e.g. Gentile self-interest cp. to the
love of i.e. Jewish JC..neither eating*666 (partic 3 squares a day) nor
voting*rof is a biblical duty..Izzy is definitely dizzy..didn't she just say
she strives for 'balance'???
