Same God though, Jon, just earlier. (And I've remembered that scene in one of those movies - was it "The Greatest Story Ever Told" with the followers of Moses and that golden sheep or whatever it was.)

I wondered, when I considered myself Christian, just how much of the framework of religion was from God and how much was from people. I believed then and now that the structures, and many of the rules, were created entirely by people based on their own very different interpretations of what they believed God wanted them to do.

For me to want to learn a song, it has to have something I strongly like. There may just be one very clear, beautiful idea in one verse, or it may just be the tune. As long as it has something, and there's nothing in it I strongly object to, I feel fine singing it.

Jeri, who's dodging thunderstorms (one of which included hail the size of SINSULL's bourbon balls) tonight.
