Well FL, how'd it go last night?

Well...my Christmas Xmas party went well, considering that my idolatrous goal was to avoid being harassed on account of my faith. Religion, faith & Jesus were never brought up! This, I managed by not saying much and by keeping busy doing womanly work such as serving, offering drink, picking up dirty dishes and so on. The topics discussed by my family werè:

-Obama.
-Mandela.
-the South African economy + African economy.
-Crack City and its Mayor, Rob Ford.
-A new puppy adopted by my son & his wife.
-Sundry uninteresting personal stuff of the various people around the table.

I drank a glass of champagne for a toast, and a glass of wine with the meal. I didn't sin by deceiving people as I had first intended. I did sin, though. The name of God was used blasphemously around the table several times during the evening but I said nothing. I just kept being the perfect hostess: smiling, serving, helping. Another sin: I had planned to give my atheist, elderly mother a NIV audio Bible on 64 CDs in a nice case but I chickened out. Things were going so well, why light a fuse? She'll get the Bible later this week.

Talk about a letdown! I was hoping for at least a food fight!

When speaking about Mandela, no one mentioned neck ties?

For those not privy to Mandela's wife love for neck ties - let me enlighten you (no pun intended with enlighten)

Well, the patron Saint Mandela and his boys and groupies sure loved to strap a auto tire around the waist of those did not support them. These tires were filled with flammable liquids and set on fire, thus roasting the victims alive. Really nice guy, that old boy was...

Hmmm, no mention of Mandela but the is appropriate - maybe gather around for a selfie shot for you next Mandela xmas card...

You are refering to execution by necklacing. In necklacing, the person is first beaten, a tire is placed around his torso, then gasoline is poured over the victim and he is set ablaze.

Even though my family is mostly composed of unbelievers, we are not Mandela worshippers. The population of South Africa is worse off now than under De Klerk, and the general consensus around the dinner table was that the RSA is going down the same road as the rest of Africa.

Sin: I'm think too tired to sin today. That is probably a lie.

You know FL, I will pray that you stay peaceful.

I'm usually at peace. Here is another sin:

Here and there throughout Leviticus, we read about ''unintentional sin.'' Have you ever wondered what an unintentional sin looks like? ...well, here is mine, committed 2 days ago:

I walk into the kitchen and see my wife staring at her driver's licence. ''I look so old in this photo!'' she exclaims. ''You are old,'' I answer laconically. She gives me a glaring look. ''Look at this picture!'' she says as she thrusts her driver's licence into my face. ''Yeah,'' I say, ''that's what you look like.'' I add, ''I look old too...we have an image of ourselves in our mind that is flattering but if you want to see what you look like to other people, look at your licence photo.'' She shakes her head like this while rolling her eyes to the ceiling. I assume she doesn't agree with me, so I add, ''If you need confirmation, just look at your passport photo. I'm sure it's not any better.''

+ + +

Now, I didn't realize it at the time, but I had just sinned. I wasn't trying to be mean or insulting; in my mind, I was just telling her what I thought about our inherent tendency towards self-deception. What my wife heard was, ''You are old and ugly.'' To add insult to injury, I affirmed this in a matter-of-fact way.

I had something very similar happen to me last night. It was cold, and I had gotten back from jogging earlier, and still had my winter hat on my head. I walked into the kitchen, and my wife looked at me and matter of factly said, "You look old." Then she said " that wasn't the word I was looking for..."

I just stood there with a dumbfounded look on my face, asking myself if she really just said that.

Signed,

The Old(looking) Geezer

How can it be cold in Florida? You must be a sissy!

I have been sinning lately but none of my sins are exciting (no porn, no theft, no heavy drinking...nothin'). The sin I'm most guilty of is calling other drivers idiots. I think this is what American evangelists call a besetting sin, or one that keeps on coming back. This makes for boring confessions so if anyone else would like to confess, be my guest.

If instead of calling "other drivers idiots" you say "all drivers are idiots" then that makes it alright since you're now apart of the group.

I confess I am not that patient as I should be.

[neo-x]

I confess that I feel lazy most of the times.
