Global Irony

This strikes me as rather ironic...or odd...or just plain wrong. I ordered a few copies of the U.S. Bishops document on Global Climate Change, and they came in a box- cushioned by styrofoam packing peanuts.

The End

This weekend marks the end of "the holidays". Monday it will be business as usual.
It's too bad. I wish we...I...would remember throughout the year.
I wish I would remember the wonder of the incarnation, and what it says about how we think of each other, ourselves and all of creation.
I wish I...we... would remember the extra gentleness that Christmas brings; the cease fires, the giving, the eyes open to "the poor", the family time, the awareness of the sacred - all of the goodness.
I don't make new year's resolutions, they're pointless for me. But this year, I am going to try to remember.
