EXCUSE ME but I was raised with my mother’s familiar and oft repeated admonition that echoed Sir Walter Scott’s lines from his lengthy poem “Marmion”, you know the one, “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”. In retrospect that simple homily is far more applicable today than it would have been in the Garden of Eden ! Quite an observation, eh ? I encourage you to consider all of today’s headlines, storylines and psycho-babble, is this not part of that oh-so-tangled web ? Lord, save us from the power of those who know everything ! I readily admit that I know nothing, I find that somehow comforting ! How about you ? Sincerely, Claire B.

Today seems just another day
In our long journey on the way
We pass the signs along the road
Our hearts bowed down with heavy load
Where will this lead, how shall we fare
How soon before we make it there ?
But better yet I’d like to know
Is God still with us, yes or no ?
