Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

[Meh]

There was an interesting book that I read about Jesus written by Anne Rice. It's fictional of course but doesn't seem too fictional, it is her creative interpretation of what has been researched. It has nothing to do with vampires, was from a very interesting perspective. "Christ the Lord" and there is one called "Road to Cana" that I think is the second book. I only read the first one and enjoyed it.

The first book is about Jesus's childhood. Since it's an Ann Rice book it is very different then any sort of religious text that tells you what to believe she doesn't do that at all, instead she takes the reader through a journey of what LIFE may have been like for Mary and Jesus as a little boy and both of them coming to the realization of what his destiny would be...although I'm sure some would argue that Jesus always knew what his destiny was. I seem to remember there was a lot of clandestine secrecy about him as a child and he needed to be protected by these biblical people who of course had great character...

Anyways, I read it a long time ago and I remember it being so atmospheric and hey I might go get the second book that I didn't read out of the library now that I'm reminded of it.

I know this is probably not what you meant by wanting to understand Jesus but it might give you some inspiration.

Thanks, Boat.  I'll look it up.

I'm checking to see if my local library has a copy of this book.

The second letter in Dear Abby sounds VERY familiar!

Trying to cheer myself up today, or, in George Harrison's words, Cheer Down?  Today, November 29, 2011, is the 10th Anniversary of George's Home-going and I miss his wacky sense of humor and the music he was always creating.  I miss his presence in this world even though I know he's gone to a better place.

The coming month is going to be rough with all the holiday stuff going on.  One party I am not planning on attending involves a game called "The Yankee Swap".  I've come to realize that I just DON'T like playing that kind of game and don't want to participate in it anymore.

Join you on the roof for a hearty Bah Humbug Chorus any time, Bones...

(Though I do love the sacred music. What the heck. This year I may just get into it, all by myself.)

If I can't beat it, might as well enjoy it.

But it's about the whole humann PHamily and my hopes for peace--not Family, for me...the day itself I will prepare to spend alone. It'll be fine.

Movies and cocoa, we'll get through!

xxoo
Hops

Thanks, Hops.

Even dealing with the whole Human PHamily can be a pain in the butt.  (Screen during weird jumpy stuff.  Will post more later.)

Trying to step outside my comfort zone, again, filling out another application for a position on my homeowners association board for 2012.  The first time I submitted it, today, it was pointed out that I forgot to mention what I'm currently doing in the community that they have been observing me doing.  I guess I was so busy doing that it didn't occur to me that I should mention anything.

Someone wants you on their team Bones. Because you're an asset, a do-er, a get-things-done person, not some face-time person just doing it for the resume.

You get to choose (maybe!) at some point IF you want to be on the team. People who are recruiting sometimes forget that the applicant has a choice too.

True.  Thanks, Freshwater.  I hadn't thought of it with that aspect.

Feeling a bit irritated this morning.

One of the committees I'm on seem to be spinning its wheels and doing nothing else.  Two of the members, who are also on the board, have been communicating privately about what the committee should do and then announcing their decision to the rest of the committee, after the fact, without any further discussion.

Is it just me or does this feel WRONG?
