"We miss you."
by dontplaceliterature init's beginning to annoy me when people send me text messages and e-mails of this sort.
it's even more annoying when it comes from people who i primarily associated with while i was still active, but who i haven't heard a word from since i quit going to meetings a couple months ago.
most of these people live less than five minutes from me and would be welcome at my house anytime.

related contentenlarge photothis sept. 2010 photo posted recently on the titiusville, fla.- based arms manufacturer .... san diego (ap) the marine corps on thursday once again did damage control after a photograph surfaced of a sniper team in afghanistan posing in front of a flag with a logo resembling that of the notorious nazi ss a special unit that murdered millions of jews, gypsies and others.. the corps said in a statement that using the symbol was not acceptable, but the marines in the photograph taken in september 2010 will not be disciplined because investigators determined it was a naive mistake.. the marines believed the ss symbol was meant to represent sniper scouts and never intended to be associated with a racist organization, said maj. gabrielle chapin, a spokeswoman at camp pendleton, where the marines were based.. "i don't believe that the marines involved would have ever used any type of symbol associated the nazi germany military criminal organization that committed mass atrocities in wwii," chapin said.
the corps has used the incident as a training tool to talk to troops about what symbols are acceptable after it became aware of the photograph last november, chapin said.. the image has since surfaced on an internet blog, sparking widespread outrage and calls for a full investigation and punishment, including bringing those in the photograph and anyone who condoned it to court martial.. "this is a complete and total outrage," said mikey weinstein of the military religious freedom foundation, headquartered in albuquerque, n.m.. his organization sent a letter to the head of the marine corps, gen. james amos, and defense secretary leon panetta on thursday, demanding punishment for those involved.. it was the second time this year the marine corps has had to do damage control for actions of its troops.

Thanking God For Food?
by dontplaceliterature inhave you ever considered the fact that by implication, when we thank god for food (if you do), we are also saying that he is responsible for the lack of food in the case of others who are not as fortunate as we are?
if you are acknowledging that it is god who is responsible for your physical well-being, and that you don't have plenty because of your own sensibility and hard work, then what about those who are not physically well?
what about those who do not have enough to eat?
