But that it a good thought--people were so full of good feelings toward each other that they lowered their inhibitions as though they had drunk wine to loosen up. I should have been a sophist. They didn't torture and kill sophists did they? Sophists are pains though--we never liked them when we learned about them. I wonder how they got such a bad name.KathrynVHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029222798571369594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077966.post-1105125640653450032005-01-07T14:20:00.000-05:002005-01-07T14:20:00.000-05:00If the "loaves and fishes" story turns into "every...If the "loaves and fishes" story turns into "everybody just took a little bit, then the "water into wine" story was, what, everybody was just happy drinking water?paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682084535318847569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077966.post-1105123972457721652005-01-07T13:52:00.000-05:002005-01-07T13:52:00.000-05:00We have to remember that we were brought up in the...We have to remember that we were brought up in the enlightenment age of the 60's and 70's in a Catholic school taught by really smart liberal people. Some people might believe that you have to say formal prayers to pray. P.S. Melody did not know what the Epiphany was--she said she did not know the story about how Jesus was born or about the three wise men, she didn't know the story where Jesus turned water into wine or even the loaves and fishes story. I hope she was pulling my leg, because these are wonderful stories of hope and inspiration--you don't have to be religious to gain from them. I particularly like to think that the story of the loaves and fishes is that they didn't have enough food to feed everyone and so each person took a very small amount and was satisfied to share with everyone else. To me that's inspiring--the true spirit and wonder of community. We shouldn't let our kids get all grown up without learning this stuff.KathrynVHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029222798571369594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077966.post-1105102312983620342005-01-07T07:51:00.000-05:002005-01-07T07:51:00.000-05:00That is very odd.

I can see someone saying "I thought about sending money" but I thought about praying is absurd. Isn't that what praying is "thinking."EZ Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948115216958990897noreply@blogger.com
