Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!" The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews."

yes, angry enough to die!

But God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the bush?" And he said, "Yes, angry enough to die."

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard."

"Take what belongs to you and go; I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?' So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

who's in charge of the asylum?!?

A short public service announcement: If you haven’t already donated to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, please take a moment to do so. Network for Good (http://www.networkforgood.org) is a good resource for researching not-for-profit aid agencies. And I’ve been particularly impressed by the goals of the Bush/Clinton Hurricane Katrina Fund (http://www.bushclintonkatrinafund.org), which was announced today. Our former presidents and the organization they have created may yet prove much more adept than the current administration in responding effectively to the incomprehensible human need created by this tragedy. The Bush/Clinton Katrina Fund will seek to fill in the gaps left by the other forms of governmental and relief agency aid. However you choose to do it, please do give sacrificially to this aid effort. Our brothers and sisters in the gulf states are absolutely counting on us.
