More bumper stickers and sundry thoughts

Well, we went back to Trader Joe's yesterday to stock up for the New Year's Eve party, but there weren't any interesting bumper stickers in the lot. But we found a few others.

Today is a new day: anything good is possible [But isn't anything bad possible too? And does that mean bad things are possible yesterday? This sounds like Huxley's Island.]

In goddess we trust [ouch]

The goddess is alive and magic is afoot [on a different vehicle]

We don't have a democracy: we have an auction [technically, I rather think it's a democratic republic]

Humans aren't the only species on earth; we just act like it [All about the dominion mandate! And stewardship. We are human, after all.]

In other news, the New Years party went splendidly. We dipped some things in chocolate fondue, drank a lot of bottled cokes, and argued philosophy of school rules and poetry. (I maintain that rhyme and meter are good things.) I lost two games of ping-pong and won a word game thoroughly. :-)

The soror made it back from Jon and Raynel's wedding. It sounded really nice; the music was wonderful and the church lovely. Apparently they're successfully married. Congratulations!

And then this morning Dad preached the sermon on Galatians. Key thing from it: salvation is by faith not law, and this gospel was given to Paul from God. It's not of man, and man has no right to mess with it. That is an encouraging thought.

Yay! Congrats to Jon and Raynel!

Those bumper stickers make me sad, because they remind me of the ongoing discussions I have with Wes G., a random person who posts on my blog.
