What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Surely that faith cannot save, can it? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from works, and I by my works will show you faith.

Tonight, President Joe Biden said “We are a great nation because we are a good people.”
Earlier today, Donald Trump said: “We are a stupid country that’s led by stupid people.”
Who do you think we are?
And who do you want to be?

Anarch-cow certainly has a point
Certainly, it is already no longer possible, in my view, to call oneself an anarchist without adding a qualifying adjective to distinguish oneself from lifestyle anarchists. -- Murray Bookchin

A quotation by Harris, Sydney J.Men may be divided almost any way we please, but I have found the most useful distinction to be made between those who devote their lives to conjugating the verb “to be” and those who spend their lives conjugating the verb “to have.”Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986) Anglo-American columnist, journalist, author
For the Time Being, ch. 6, epigram (1972)

Quote of the day:SOMETIMES THE FIRST STEP TO FORGIVENESS IS UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS A COMPLETE IDIOT.
#quote #forgiveness by #smileandshine
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
