…from the Wash Post…..
The Vatican said in a statement that Pope Francis had been informed of the report during a recent visit by French bishops. “His thoughts turn first to the victims, with immense sorrow for their injuries and gratitude for their courage to speak out,” the statement said, adding that Francis hopes the French church can follow a path of “redemption” after becoming aware of this “appalling reality.”….
Instead of “freedom of religion?”
We need freedom from religion!
While there is no question that religion has caused a lot of harm in this world, I know it can also be a source of good. I was amazed at how people in my congregation proactively took it upon themselves to call me to off er their support once they heard of my diagnosis, offer to drive me to places, or to bring me food upon request. This was not something I expected, and some of the people who called me or wrote me I did not even know.
The congregation becomes involved in much social work, such as stocking food Kitchens or hopeless shelters. In my opinion, that is exactly what religion should be about.
I am inspired by being around good people, and I am convinced that they make me a better person than I otherwise would be.
Bless U and Bless them Z……
May things get BETTER for you Every Day😉
Thank you. So far the news hasn’t been good, but I just started a new treatment plan last week. The cost is $22,000 per month; my insurance company hasn’t yet said if they will cover, or how much they will cover.
Fingers crossed….
Best of luck with your new treatment Zreebs. Both for it’s success and that it is covered by your insurance!
Keep truckin Zreebs.
All here are with you!
After all, Zreebs, our PDog band of brothers is so small that it can ill afford to lose even a single commentator/analyst/prognosticator..
True THAT DSD…..
Z needs to do his best to hang in there!
Thank you all. I’m mostly feeling fine – other than That I get very easily fatigued.
