(thoughts)
"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
- Flannery o'Connor
"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
- NT Wright
"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
- Stan Hauerwas
"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
- Thomas Merton
"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
- Acts of the Apostles
"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."
- St. Augustine

Hrmn... I'm not sure what to think about a PoMo with a gun... :-D
*mutters something about pacifism whist garnering protective clothing*
Next thing you'll be telling us is that you joined the NRA. Idaho must be gettin' to ya.
It's a .177 caliber airgun. I am going to hunt squirrels with it. Not people.
:)
P.S. The NRA is lame. It's for rednecks. I am a fashionable young hunter/fisherman who wouldn't kill an animal any bigger than a rockchuck or a magpie. So... shut up.
Thank you.
:P
I'm glad to hear it. :)
I like squirrels.
I have good stories about squirrels.
It arrived today.
:D
I thought that looked like an air rifle. Oh, and you've gotta love that because you're a pacifist you shouldn't therefore, have a gun, or kill anything. As long as you eat the squirrels you kill, you're good with me. Pax to you and yo weapon. :)
I actually won't be eating them. I will more than likely end up killing rock chucks... they are a pest around here. That's even if the thing ends up killing anything at all. I like target shooting. It makes me happy.
I fish too.
But mostly catch and release... I don;t eat fish.
(I'm allergic)
