I love the story about the dirt -- you never know what might work on him ;)<BR/><BR/>I think the diff. between the Bible and tarot cards is this: one comes from a place of love and goodness and doing the right thing; the other comes from a place of manipulation and trying to get others to do your will and not their own. But I've had to think about these things over the last few years. My conclusion, everyone else is entitled to their own!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357397551761295138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-68767217912833963582009-04-11T08:02:00.000-07:002009-04-11T08:02:00.000-07:00Moi, completely true.

So generous of you to leave the Chimayo blessing in place to look after your step dad.<BR/><BR/>I find it interesting the number of faithful who spend a lifetime looking after the unfaithful or self proclaimed "atheists". Somehow I think when they seek out a VERY faithful person to travel through life with, they are in fact, seeking the security that comes from faith ... by proxy.<BR/><BR/>Ummmmmmmmmmmm.... have you decorated a frisbee to look like an Easter egg for the Easter dog baskets?fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-54684133496321563802009-04-10T09:03:00.000-07:002009-04-10T09:03:00.000-07:00This made me tear up. *sniff*And Wendy is right; ...This made me tear up. *sniff*<BR/><BR/>And Wendy is right; just enough Imp in it, too.<BR/><BR/>xoxox.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280822962202098606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-54385207689424364092009-04-10T08:38:00.000-07:002009-04-10T08:38:00.000-07:00That is a beautiful/loving/impish story.
