Mr Cheney needs to find something else to do besides criticize the President. I am proud of the President's team for fighting back.

We usually hear about those in Hollywood who have total lack of discipline and whose lives are a total mess. Among this list you can find those who have found a way to keep it together.

"It Came Upon the Midnight Clear," ELW 282
This wonder-filled carol, composed by Unitarian minister Edmund Hamilton Sears, exudes "social conscience" more so than most Christmas carols.
As a pastor in the early 19th century, Sears wrestled with issues of human greed propagated by the Gold Rush, emerging conflicts between the northern and southern states and growing sociological challenges, all due to the exploding Industrial Revolution.
This social milieu informed the prophetic words of this great carol. In the midst of sin, injustice and suffering, we are invited to pause and listen to the songs of the angels. Just as these heavenly voices have brought peace to searching souls of yesteryear, they also touch our souls as we quiet our busy lives and really listen. And, as we listen, we just may be invited to recalibrate our priorities and our life's direction.
Gracious Lord, grant us the supreme grace this day to trust, surrender and relinquish all, so that we might receive what you have in store for us and respond with gratitude. Amen.Blair K. Anderson Pastor Emeritus, Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Ramsey, Minn. Master of Divinity, 1974
"It Came Upon the Midnight Clear," ELW 282
1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to all, From heav'n's all gracious king." The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its babel sounds The blessed angels sing.
3 And you, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow: Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh, rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing!
4 For lo! The days are hast'ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And all the world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Shared via AddThis
We really need to put the brakes on the fast-track death penalty in places like Texas. It's not a football game or a basketball game. We're talking about the very real possibility of taking innocent life.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/26/business/global/...Some renewable energy technologies rely on a group of elements that mainly come from harmful Chinese mines.
Another problem to be aware of . . . the technologies that save the planet are taken in ways that destroy the planet;
2010's "blood diamonds," you might say. Somebody out there needs to figure this stuff out and do it right.
