Now, a question hangs around like a bad odor. It's always there, like a dead goat. It never leaves, like your inlaws when they get too old to get to the toilet and move in with you.Jim Dollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837603550254077426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16703429.post-1127224727827974462005-09-20T09:58:00.000-04:002005-09-20T09:58:00.000-04:00I liked this post too.

I'm doing what I can to remove the barriers, but it can be discouraging at times.<BR/><BR/>In slow food, one of the sayings that keeps coming up is "Don't just do something, sit there."Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607467794651542046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16703429.post-1127220585434621432005-09-20T08:49:00.000-04:002005-09-20T08:49:00.000-04:00The great thing about having a "weblog" (sounds be...The great thing about having a "weblog" (sounds better than 'blog') is that you can get instant feedback. BTW, you could also call this your 'journal' on the web. I agree that 'blog' is somehow undignified. It is also known as 'personal journalism for the masses'. <BR/>At any rate, I like the notion of enlightenment as being loving. I remember when I first understood about the word 'holiness' after reading in a Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words that one of the definitions for 'holiness' was 'being loving'. That resonated with me immediately. I reasoned that if I am being loving then I necessarily would not do all of those things most folks considered 'unholy', i.e.; covet my neighbors possesions, etc.<BR/>So, I thank you for your perspective on 'enlightenment'.Rerunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771406105511001785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16703429.post-1127219985671415822005-09-20T08:39:00.000-04:002005-09-20T08:39:00.000-04:00Too many questions and not enough answers: I count...Too many questions and not enough answers: I counted 14 question marks in this post.
