The Thing and Where It Is

END THE SUFFERING

PUT YOUR JESUS OUT

I always end up wondering why suffering feels so good. Familiar-like. And then I remember, ah yes, the crucifix. My necklace! What's that celebratin' anyway, big big Rome or the donkey king?

You decide.

My question is this: if the Lord anguished for our sins, why on Earth are we still committing them right now? Does this mean Jesus still suffers? Will He ever catch up?

My good (and all too distant, sigh) friend Alicia will tell you one of my rules for life. I hear her say it with a chuckle when the situation calls and I am happy for that, because it is a simple wisdom I had to almost die achieving. Here it goes now:

IT'S NEVER
THE THING
IT'S ALWAYS
THE THING
NEXT TO THE THING
