Garret had to take his wife to the emergency room yesterday.

At times, I feel as if I’m going to be found out.

Not as a lunkhead, or a complete dolt, because you have to be reasonably competent to keep conning people into hiring you. But as something far worse.

Ordinary.

Read the rest form Steve Lopez at Poynter.org.

“opinionated people make no distinction between legitimate opinion and arbitrary opinion. all that matters to them is that they *have* an opinion.”

And “there is way too much [snip] ‘advice’ given by people who have never successfully done whatever the advice is about.”

Garret says it reminds him of punditry and hopes he doesn’t come off that way. Me too dude. Me too.

MeanDean at blogs4God gives you a summary of what this day is all about.

Does anyone have any idea where to go for low cost/free legal advice for non-profits?

Thanks. E-mail me.

My condolences to you, Rick, and his family.

Kathie Shaidle’s mother passed away this Sunday. Send her your thoughts and prayers.

How can I believe in God with everything that’s been going on these days? From the world going crazy (I think it always was – it’s just come home) to what’s happening personally, it can be hard. But I don’t think you can have a healthy faith without doubt. Doubt makes you think. Doubt strengthens faith. Sounds crazy, but that’s what I believe. For example, I’m reading Papal Sin: Structures of Deceit. Good book.

For an eloquent answer, and what spurred me to write this, read Mean Dean at blogs4God.

Speaking of faith and doubt, let me again refer you to frontline: faith and doubt at ground zero. It will get you thinking.

They removed a grapefruit sized, non-malignant, ovarian cyst from my Mom yesterday and it looks like she’s going to be aok. Better then ever probably since the source of so much pain has been located and taken care of. My mom is one tough lady. She facing this with honesty, laughter and smiles.

I wasn’t planning on sharing this with you, but since the news is looking great, I want to share our happiness.
