+ It is partly sunny today with a high in the 70s predicted and thunderstorms. Yesterday was quite pleasant. A thunderstorm with plenty of rain hit at about 9 pm.
+ The Red Sox are now 5-1 against National League teams after taking 2 out of 3 in Cincinnati this weekend. The Cubs contine to have the best record in baseball. The Cubs last won a World Series in 1908. They last won a NL pennant in 1945. So ... Go, Cubbies!
+ In a post at the Delphi Christianity - General forum, "Jack" said that "Christians murdered, slaughtered, 2 million people alone in France in the 1400's in an attempt to stifle alternative beliefs." I responded:
I am very aware of this tragic event and many others. I don't blame the religion. I blame control freaks in both the church and government who think that they must stifle dissent even sometimes killing millions. Very sad. Very tragic. Evil raises its ugly head unfortunately in every human being and every human institution. We must resist the power of evil with all our heart, soul, strenghth and mind. We must learn as much as we can from the mistakes of the past. Sadly we continue to make these mistakes because we still allow control freaks to gain power in our religious and secular institutions all too frequently. / love, john + www.abundancetrek.com + "The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, humankind will have discovered fire." -- Teilhard de Chardin
