You and Bozo have naile...Helg, I love your answers. You and Bozo have nailed #3, I believe. #4 is kind of a trick question. It's a Van Morrison song, and I doubt Van himself could say where the name comes from.<BR/><BR/>Nancy--Exactly! Solstice is the reason for the season, as a very clever Pagan once said. If we could boot Christ out of Christmas, we could get back to the real thing. <BR/><BR/>As far as I know, 2007 is expected to arrive on schedule throughout the non-Christian world. Alert me if it doesn't. <BR/><BR/>You're right about the carols, and I would miss them, but we can always crank up the volume on "Sandinista!"<BR/><BR/>As for reconciling with Yahweh, I'm afraid our thing just didn't work out. He's all yours.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad we all agree on Kiri, whatever our other differences may be. I need to go dig up my copy of her "Four Last Songs" so I can indulge my human masochism.BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-85718666483655407442007-12-15T12:04:00.000-06:002007-12-15T12:04:00.000-06:00Just some thoughts Bittergrace.

Because no one likes separation--disconnect.<BR/>2. The religious songs reach to the depth to your soul. <BR/>3. Cause it's easier.<BR/>4. Because of deja vu, deja vu?<BR/>5.

If you visit here very much, you'll find that I get around to denigrating the patriarchal god in all his guises--Christian, Islamic, etc. Think of it as constructive criticism.BitterGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262639525430954930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039707457010939097.post-81328149923401675332007-12-14T20:43:00.000-06:002007-12-14T20:43:00.000-06:00H-m-m loving songs that recognise Christ baffling?...H-m-m loving songs that recognise Christ baffling? Could it be that place w/in that seems empty, and that God placed that actually has you looking to fill it -- and having been there done that -- I know Jesus can really change your life if you but ask God to show you. Don't mean to be freaky. But really I have been there. Isn't interesting that the Bible is often denigrated but not Budda, Allah....Shows you the power of God's word is a threat..yet lives on. Check it out.

Srsly, I think lolcat is funny, but I have the feeling I shouldn't. <BR/><BR/>The again, anything that ridicules the Bible can't be all bad ;-)<BR/><BR/>Bozo, nobody can wallow like the Possum. As for #2, it is cruel of you to answer my unanswerable question with another one! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Your answer to #3 is excellent, yet leaves me with another question: How do we get rid of <I>her</I>?<BR/><BR/>Kiri, really? Are you sure? You're probably right, but that Cecilia is so damn cute. <BR/><BR/>As for your question--Placido.
