Well, well....Look who's come to play

Even though this guy really creeps me out, I got to say I like where he's going with this "evolution" thing.

clipped from www.news.com.au POPE Benedict has said there is substantial scientific proof of the theory of evolution. In a talk with 400 priests, the Pope spoke of the current debate raging in some countries, particularly the US and his native Germany, between creationism and evolution.  “They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the Pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favour of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.” But he said evolution did not answer all the questions and could not exclude a role by God. “Above all it does not answer the great philosophical question 'where does everything come from?'“

Real Americans

clipped from newspapers.library.cornell.edu The Friend of Man at Cornell University Library Friend of Man is one of the most significant and little studied newspapers documenting early anti-slavery and other reform movements. The periodical is of special significance because with the exception of religion, scholars know little about the resources of social movements in rural areas such as Central New York, where Friend of Man was published. Cornell is truly fortunate to have a close to complete set of Friend of Man , 281 issues, published from 1836 - 1842.

Words that Ring True

Haven't heard this song for awhile. But today for some reason I gave it a listen- a real close listen. This first verse is so...well, take a listen and you put some meaning to it.

clipped from www.plyrics.com "We Are Nowhere, And It's Now" (feat. Emmylou Harris) If you hate the taste of wine Why do you drink it until you’re blind? And if you swear that there’s no truth and who cares How come you say it like you’re right? Why are you scared to dream of god When it’s salvation that you want? You see stars that clear have been dead for years But the idea just lives on

Words that Ring True

Some one's at the door...

clipped from www.lifehack.org Be grateful –Being grateful is the antidote to resentment and complacency. Resentment and complacency block your ability to see clearly. The best way to clear resentment and complacency from your mind is to be grateful for where you are right now. Be grateful for your gifts and your weaknesses. Be grateful for your success and your setbacks. If you are grateful for all things, including those that appear to go wrong, you will be able to see them for the opportunities they are. [SteveOlson]
