Once again, marriage is big business. It's a money maker! Now, it seems to me that the good Sister was just doing her job. She really didn't keep the money. She gave it away...wouldn't you like to be on HER Christmas list! She also, was traveling around the world spreading the "good news"...what's on special at MACY's! Now, she must have a true poker face to be able to retain that much money from the Archdiocese; obviously she knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. What can you say, she is a true Robin Hood..."takes from the rich and gives to the poor." God Bless you, Sister!

wisdom and knowledge...
I just started reading the book The Gospel of Judas and even though I‘m not very far into the book I wanted to share with you a paragraph from the introduction. Talk about hitting the nail on the head, this paragraph truly speaks of the teachings that should be our focus…
In the central part of this gospel, Jesus teaches Judas the mysteries of the universe. In the Gospel of Judas, as in other gnostic gospels, Jesus is primarily a teacher and revealer of wisdom and knowledge, not a savior who dies for the sins of the world. For gnostics, the fundamental problem in human life is not sin but ignorance, and the best way to address this problem is not through faith but through knowledge. In the Gospel of Judas, Jesus imparts to Judas – and to readers of the gospel – the knowledge that can eradicate ignorance and lead to an awareness of oneself and God.
If the gospel is anything like this it is definitely worth reading.

life to death...death to life...
I received this the other day in an e-mail and thought it was important to "pass on"...
Subject: Finally
I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way. Then, you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy; go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous and you get
ready for High School.
You go to primary school, you become a kid, you
play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, and then...
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions...central heating, room service on tap, and larger quarters every day, and finally you finish off as an orgasm.
I rest my case.

oops! HELL did freeze over...
For those of you who are wondering why you would name a town HELL...hell, watch what you say!
Hell, Michigan is an unincorporated community in Livingston County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is in Putnam Township near the border with Washtenaw County about 20 miles northwest of Ann Arbor at 42°26′05″N, 83°59′06″W. Hell has a population of 266 and the ZIP Code is 48169.
History
For several hundred years, the low, swampy area was occupied mostly by the Potawatomi tribe. Later, in the early 19th century, it was the most unpleasant part of a trail between Lansing and Dexter (which at the time contained a major farmers market) and a point on the route taken by traders portaging between the Huron River and the Grand River.
In the late 1830s, George Reeves, a New York farmer, started several businesses in the area — a general store, and a mill, and a distillery — which became the core of a minor population center; by the 1840s, enough people had immigrated to make a 70-person school viable (assuming 19th century birth rates, this pegs the population somewhere close to its current level).
In 1841, as one story goes, Reeves was sitting one day with a group of friends in the general store when someone asked him, "What are you going to name your town?" He hastily replied, "I don't care, call it Hell, if you want to." The name stuck from that moment on. All efforts to claim Reevesville or Reeves Mill as official names failed and Hell it remains to this day. It is said George Reeves regretted his levity to his dying day.
Now there is the matter of...

6-6-6 party in Hell
Hell, Michigan - Hell Plans Special 666 CelebrationThe town of Hell is counting on revelers to show up this Tuesday, June 6, 2006, to celebrate the devilish calendar convergence of 6-6-6. According to local news reports, Hell's mayor has loaded up his souvenir shop with 666 merchandise -- t-shirts, coffee mugs -- and stocked only 666 of each item.
There will be a costume competition and live music, and the town also promises to have the Gates of Hell operating over at the playground. While they're hoping for fun-loving crowds, they don't anticipate any more than the usual pecentage of devil worshippers and Satanists...
Hell has endured an eternity of puns and japes at its expense -- at least since 1841, when it was named. Tipster Art Spang recalls: "I proposed marriage to a lady friend -- she replied that it would be a cold day in Hell before she accepted. So,on January 9, 1967 we motored from Ann Arbor to Hell -- and it was cold!" [06/04/2006]

batwoman hero returns as lesbian
BBC online news May 30, 2006 BBC
Batwoman's new look has been designed by artist Alex RossComic book heroine Batwoman is to make a comeback as a "lipstick lesbian" who moonlights as a crime fighter, a DC Comics spokesman has confirmed.
Batwoman - real name Kathy Kane - will appear in 52, a year-long DC Comics publication that began this month. In her latest incarnation, she is a rich socialite who has a romantic history with another 52 character, ex-police detective Renee Montoya. 52 will be published in the UK as a graphic novel by Titan Books in 2007.
The series is set in a world in which established superheroes Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman do not play a part.
Reinvention
The new-look Batwoman is just one of a wave of ethnically and sexually diverse characters entering the DC Comics universe. Others include Mexican teenager Blue Beetle - who replaces the character's previous white incarnation - and the Great Ten, a government-sponsored team of Chinese superheroes. Regular characters Firestorm and The Atom, meanwhile, have been reinvented as black and Asian heroes respectively. The characters are part of a wider effort to broaden the make-up of comic-book creations in line with society as a whole.
Batwoman, who first appeared in July 1956, has not been seen since September 1979 when she was killed by the League of Assassins and the Bronze Tiger.
WOW! Can't wait till this hits the stands. I know of several lesbians wishing for a comic heroine just like this...somtime, you do get what you wish for...it's a whole new world now...infact it will be interesting to see how the Batwoman vs. Catwoman characters develop! Will Catwoman come out of the closet? "HOLY LIPSTICKS" BATWOMAN!
Soon, people like this will be wanting to play the part of Batwoman: Crazy woman!
