The Army Place?

Lol, this is so funny because the church is probably 30-40 miles away from the army place! They're not even in the same town! Of course, no one thought to call little old me, because I could have told them that it's right down the street from Rein's Deli and made everyone's life so much easier. Or I could have told them it's right down the street from my house too, but it's okay, life goes on. Nelle was AWESOME Sunday night. And her mother was the cutest thing. I sat next to her during the play, and every time Nelle was singing a solo she would nudge me and point and go "Look look look!" She was so proud. It was touching. And Nelle had this awesome part where she sang "Generations!" and she hit this awesome note! I was in awe! I was very proud. Nelle, you're my hero and I'm sorry that the flower I gave you wilted! Who'd have thought that flowers wilt indoors?

*sighs* You know, everyone is always telling me how weird I am. I guess it must be true, but I really don't see how I'm any weirder than anyone else. So what if I like Opera, and reading books written hundreds of years ago? And so what if I can't lie to nice people (my parents are another story)? And so what if I laugh at dumb things that don't make any sense, and so what if I say weird things that no one else does? . . . Oh. Yeah. I am weirder than everyone else. But that's okay, I still have self esteem . . . somewhere . . .

Jess, we're having an interesting conversation at the Hellenismos Board at Beliefnet that you might like. It's on Plato's Euthyphro dilemna. The whole "is good good because the gods love it, or do the gods love it because it is good" thing. We're commenting on some articles on the subject written by monotheists, so there certainly is room for a monotheistic response. Here's the site:
