I took my wheel out to a Christian camp that my son was working at last week and spoke to the kids while I made stuff. I was talking about creation and the fall and I used the term "propensity to sin" which I also explained in other terms. After I was done my son asked me what that word was? I told him and he thought I was nuts for using it. I told him that I thought I had explained it in terms the kids, jr high, could understand and that he should expand his vocabulary. I told him it was his job to explain to all the kids what propensity meant. I have a dictionary and I'm not afraid to use it. :) I particularly like "sanguine" Is that an Itallian dish? LOL

As to the substance of your post. some short cuts are great, but if you are building a high-rise in L.A. don't skip the earthquake preventatives. They will manifest the first time the earth shakes. How much more important when building a foundation for a life, is it to have all your metaphysical blocks in the right places? Plastering over things only works until.....

Now, I will take a pill and get some sleep. See you tomorrow.
