WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HYPOCRITE?

I always chuckle a little when I must sit through someone's "sermon" on why he/she doesn't ever darken the door of a church. Invariably at the top of the list of reasons given for not attending is something about the church being so full of hypocrites. You know, those people who affect virtues and qualities they don't have ... religious fakes.

The humor in this line of argument rests not so much in the fact that I never hear anything original, but rather in the facts surrounding the genesis of the word hypocrite. It was a term applied to the ancient Greek actors who wore masks in order to convey to the audience certain qualities and emotions. The actor hid behind the mask and the mask projected the necessary image.

In reality, a hypocrite is anyone who wears a mask hiding the true self while projecting an image for the benefit of the "audience". As I see it, that makes us all hypocrites! We all hide behind masks pretty consistently. How often, for instance, do we observe our hurting friends struggling to keep the "coat hanger" smile in place?

Yes, when two people stand eyeball-to-eyeball, it's one hypocrite starin' at another! The guy who won't go to church because it's full of hypocrites is not being completely honest. What he really means is that he prefers secular hypocrisy to religious hypocrisy. It's sort of like the smoker's preference for a particular brand of cigarettes.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you get a good night’s sleep? Sleep late?
I hope there weren’t any unwelcome surprises at the office today.

Even though it’s pretty cloudy up your way, it’s still a much nicer day than here. Dark, dreary, and drizzly all day. Nice to get some rain but I yearn for sunshine.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Still raining? Wind all gone?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, BykrBayb...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Did you make it safely thru Helene? Hope no damage for you or your area.

[radu]

The wind is just a little breeze this evening but it was rippin’ this morning when I woke up briefly. Another large branch came down but it’s small enough for me to handle.
It’s been drizzling non-stop since last night and there’s a half inch in the gauge. No puddles anywhere so it’s all soaking in. Just the kind of rain we needed.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

A Blessed Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you.

Good Evening Kathy! The weather’s been kinda windy/rainy so no jumping. We did meet to go over safety issues and stuff. I’ve a couple of ubering flights coming up - AZ, then up to Ut and home. Nice round robin. Take care, be safe. Jxx

[Kathy in Alaska]

Not a bad night and a couple extra hours sleep...it was nice.

No surprises at the office, but a HUGE amount of mail that took forever, but I did get the garns processed and mailed.

Glad you are getting drizzly rain...soak in, soak in, soak in.

[Kathy in Alaska]
