it's wednesday night, and i would like to do 7 things:

1 - announce to the world that podcast 135 is here!
2 - remind you to visit julius caesar (aka ryan) on myspace at - myspace.com/thekoedonarmada
3 - give a link to author karen armstrong and her book a history of god

4 - let everybody know that - while i realize that love and compassion are mere emotions (subject to all of our frailties, uncertainty, bias, etc.) - my heart also somehow knows that they're more too. at the same time, confoundingly... wonderfully... jainism, hinduism, buddhism, judaism, christianity, islam, the bahá'í faith, humanism, and every religion i've ever read, acknowledge the truth of this. i can't explain it, but faith tells me they're right. :)

5 - repeat myself by saying again how much my heart wants to hear those who disagree with me.
6 - thank jesus for saying this
7- thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here and listening.

i hope the week is well where you are!

yr friend,
russell
