Would you kindly cut me a HUGE chunk o' break here? Mary was many things, but I don't think we have bestowed on her the title of Shiksa. I think if you're going to unleash a barrage you ought to try to see to it that none of the shells is a dud.
And I'm looking for something in all this list that takes away from the Supreme Sovereignty of God. Coming up empty.The Great Divorce. Those who receive great gifts from God are indeed resplendent as the moon (at 0300 today) shone beautifully with a light not its own. I am confident that a few passing bits of space debris scoffed at all those who gazed on that moon and said, "How lovely!"
"How DARE they!" they said. "The SUN is the only source of light in this system! How impious to praise a mere satellite or a sunset or the light shining on the clouds! And I don't even want to HEAR about rainbows! Don't they know they must praise only the Sun and never his works in which he shows his glory?"
The Lord is glorious in all His works, but don't you let me catch you praising what He has done.

Lovely analogy, and although you didn't post it to me, I thought you might like to know that at least one reader found it helpful. Thank you :)
