Playing Around With Immortality

 

 

Fifth of July and our early corn is chest high. It will be five feet tall eventually.

Fifth of July and I am standing in the late corn and it is shoulder high and it will eventually be six - seven feet tall.

This goes along with a few posts recently which were about playing around with death.  This following passage from the book of Wisdom was part of last week’s Catholic service but them couldn’t get it copied and then this week the same and I finally just wrote it all down, feeling very monklike, just like the old days.  Now I am going to type all into this post, ready?

                                                                                                   Wisdom 1:13-15, 2:23-24 (98B)

God did not make death,

nor does he rejoice in the

destruction of the living.

For He fashioned all things that they

might have being;

and all creatures of the world are

wholesome,

And there is not a destructive drug

amoung them

nor any domain of the netherworld

on earth,

for justice is undying.

For God formed man to be

imperishable;

the image of His own nature he

made him.

But by the envy of the Devil, death

entered the world,

and they who belong to his

company experience it.

 

There, that took a while.   Well there is something to chew on.   And while I was working on that Annie called and we talked for a half hour.  So PFJ, she is  alive and well.  So, I’m off to make potato salad.  The best to you,  Felipe.
