ok, so i called my brother, on mother's day, to check up on him....i assume he has been working nonstop due to the war......but i do not know this directly.......he is moving to somewhere else......also unnamed,...by personal request of someone else unnamed.......and he is delighted...........he asked about my middle child, who he believes would be an excellent prospect to work with all these unnamed entities......i think he is overlooking another great mind in the family, and i tell him so.......so many great minds, so many unnamed entities.........as a liberal democrat i have hard time with all of this secrecy..........in fact, i had a hard time with my sunday school lesson today.......1 and 2 timothy...and the parts about teaching of untruths.....it sounded to me like someone early on questioned paul's teachings..........and this was judged heresy......we had quite a discussion about the current baptist contraversy re; women in the clergy.......... i personally would leave my church if a consensus came about against women in the clergy......as it is. 43 baptist missionaries have quit after refusing to sign a doctrine against women in the clergy.........so sad that willing workers are excluded because they are women.......uncomprehensible.....of course, i also do not understand baptists thinking that they can convert muslims, jews, hindus, etc..........

i am approaching 22 years of hyphenated bliss......hard to imagine that that much time has elasped.......i can still recall the standoff in the social security office....when the clerk contended that she could not put a hyphen in our name, even though ss # have hyphens........we stood her down and she backed off...........i have no hope that my children will hyphate.....i picked up a history of alexander the great today...his big mistake was in failing to name an heir...no one designated to carry on the dynasty...... i believe that the hyphren thing will end with 2 midwestern liberals........and that our failure to name heirs will be our downfall...............
