Subject: RE: BS: Stephen Fry on The Catholic Church
Sorry if my post was a little flippant, but I've heard a few stories of the cruelty of some nuns to young girls.

I'm sure Sister Judy would be a suporter of this song, Joe...which to me would be a song that I'm sure Jesus would be happy to sing. And I don't think that Jesus's's's' Dad would want folks to be celibate for *his* sake. Fine if that's how they want to live, many choose that path and that's absolutely fine, but I'm sure that God would not demand that of anyone....

Not the God who has stood beside me throughout my life, at least..

Roy Bailey - 'Everything Possible'

‎'Everything Possible' by Fred Small

"We've cleared off the table, the leftovers saved,
Washed the dishes and put them away
I have told you a story, tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
...As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep
Over the midnight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company.

Oh you can be anybody you want to be,
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around,
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done.

There are girls who grow up strong and bold
There are boys quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind
Some go in their own way and time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some raise children, some never do
You can dream all the day never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you.

Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
But seek out spirits true
If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you."
