Word picture for the day: Yesterday during the service, I imagined a metaphor for the love of God vs the love of people. I pictured a person blowing against a sail vs the wind. First of all, the person blow cannot generate anything close to enough volume to make a differnce. Secondly, the breath of that person may be smelly and probably contains germs, because it's coming from a place inside that is none-too-clean. On the other hand, the fresh breeze can move the largest ships, and is free of bad breath or (most) germs.

Just an idle thought.

And for another thought... I saw a bus ad for the Sierra Club's Day of Action, which is a rally at the Capital for the environment. The thought that occurred to me is how much fossil feul is going to be burned to bring those people together. Wouldn't a Day of Inaction be better; a day to promote telecommuting. However, there probably won't be that big an impact, because I would be suprised if they get 1000 people together for that rally.
