To Lighten The Mood
Two slaves to the Qur’an walked into a bar. No, wait. It was a Christian church in France. And they killed a priest.
President Obama says Islam is one of the great religions.
Nothing to see here folks. Just make sure you DVR your programs tonight so you don’t miss a moment of the illusion that nothing is the matter.
On to the promised lightening of the mood.

This morning after H-‘s piano lesson, we were walking to our car when a police car slowed as it drove by. The officer rolled down his window and said, “I just wanted to let you know there is a dog on the loose that is biting people.”
I said, “Thanks. We’re outta here anyhow.”
He waved and went on his way.
H- asked, “What’d he say?”
I answered, “Apparently there is a dog on the loose that is biting people.”
H- said, “Oh.”
About five minutes into our car ride, H- admitted, “I didn’t know dogs went to jail.”

Better than any light than H- can shine is the one that emanates from the Lord and Savior of the Universe, Jesus Christ. He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (John 8:12).”
I never cease to wonder at the acceptance of such evil – even the encouragement of it. But truly H- managed to confirm the phrase “out of the mouths of children..” Children make life worth living – an endless source of amazement, and such an awesome responsibility to shape their lives.
