dual personalities

Well, the local weather-casters are pretty excited about a possible weather event today. They have been predicting snow, wind and freezing temps and will be very disappointed if nothing happens. We have all been to the store to stock up on food and daughter #1 came home a day early to avoid the bad weather. The OM is working from home.

As long as the furnace holds out and the electricity stays on, I am happy to hunker down at home.

Meanwhile my BFFs and I toasted the fact that daughter #1 has a new job and is moving back to St. Louis…

…little did I know this was causing consternation with Katiebelle…

Oh, modern life.

In other news, Marty Stuart is just the best. Look what he’s done now!

Daughter #1 shared this Q&A interview with Bob Dylan. “I’m not a fan of packaged programs, or news shows, so I don’t watch them. I never watch anything foul smelling or evil. Nothing disgusting… I’m a religious person. I read the scriptures a lot, meditate and pray, light candles in church. I believe in damnation and salvation, as well as predestination.”

Yes, Marty and Bob and I are on the same page. Marty is rescuing antiques and Bob is reading scripture. That is comforting.

“In religion, as in war and everything else, comfort is the one thing you cannot get by looking for it. If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth — only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair.”

–C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

No wishful thinking here.
