“Mock the devil and he will flee from thee.”

All three of my Christmas Cactus plants are blooming/budding, which I think is pretty darn neat.

You have to get excited about something–why not the Christmas Cactus?

Here’s an article about Bono, whose memoir has just been released. He’s an interesting guy and a Christian. “The Bible held me rapt. The words stepped off the page and followed me home. I found more than poetry in that Gothic King James script. … I’d always be first up when there was an altar call, the “come to Jesus” moment. I still am. If I was in a café right now and someone said, ‘Stand up if you’re ready to give your life to Jesus.’ I’d be the first to my feet. I took Jesus with me everywhere and I still do.”

Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Steve McQueen in 1980 so we watched The Magnificent Seven (1960) which is always good for what ails you. It’s mighty hard to steal the show from Yul Brynner, but Steve kind of does in this movie.

And here’s to Charles Bronson whose birthday was last week…


A toast to Bono and to Steve and Charles and to Christmas Cactus blooming!

Don’t forget to vote!
