"PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER""A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere."
"Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot."
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies."
"An apprentice mortician? What, do you only bury live people?"
Groucho Marx of the game show "You Bet Your Life" and the famous Marx Brothers was best known for "saying things that he never said". Many times things he said were interpreted not quoted. "Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted." he would say.
We say what we mean, and yet somehow, people hear what they think; attaching our voices to their own thoughts. It's very strange. Maybe that's why we have four gospels and why so much of the Bible is written by so many different people, not one man's private interpretation.
I can almost hear the conversations between the angels in heaven. Why not just give the book to one guy, and let him live forever teaching everyone. (Warning, the following angelic conversation is fictional. It has not been delivered to me by an angel or dropped off by aliens.) Can you hear the angels saying...
THE TEXT OF THIS CONVERSATION HAS BEEN REMOVED... IT IS NOT FOR HUMAN VIEWING SO IT NEEDS TO BE SEALED FOR RIGHT NOW. MY APOLOGIES - ANONYMOUS ALIEN ANGEL
One gospel message? Yes. One gospel presentation? Which one? Luke may have been too technical, Matthew and Mark too traditional and John, too poetic and out there. But throw in writers from different cultures, perspectives, ages, times, seasons, etc. And you have a rounded, more balanced view than other belief whose whole thesis is based on writings handed down to one man from angels or aliens (OR ANGELIC ALIENS - TEXT ADDED BY ANONYMOUS ALIEN ANGEL).
Part 2 added soon...

You're Alive! I thought you just stopped blogging, as most people do when they get tired of something new. Good to see you are back again.
Thanks! I'm glad to be back. Last year was full of a lot of stuff and at times I barely had the energy to tie my shoes! But I have definitely missed blogging!
