Gods

"How many divisions does the Pope have? "- Josef Stalin When we think of only power, all that seems to matter is how many guns we have.  When we consider that money is the only controlling factor in life all we think about is how much we have.  If the most important thing in life is how many "friends" we have on Facebook we lose track of what is truly important. As the Torah teaches, "You shall have no other gods beside Me."

In Praise of Age

“In the Middle Ages a particular pope was so deeply revered that once a year he paraded through Rome’s streets wearing a ridiculous hat to discourage excessive veneration.   In our children’s eyes, we are always wearing such hats, but especially on our 50 th birthdays, when we have long ceased to be young and are a long way from being venerable.”   -George Will
