Okay, if nothing else, my Religion class is going to ensure that I laugh twice a week. We tend to make reference to some sort of sexual innuendo in every class, and a new word ends up leaving us giggling. Today it was the story of Ruth, and feet have an entirely new meaning to me now. Or actually, a very old meaning that we weren't aware of before. Don't even get me started on what that now means about socks.

And I will never be able to listen to someone when they use the term "Biblical Family Values". Seriously, what family values are they talking about, Lot's daughters sleeping with him, or Issac and Jacob marrying their first cousins? Or Tamar sleeping with her father-in-law? The Bible deserves an R rating.

Song

On Sunday I mentioned a song that we did in church as the processional which was written after 9/11. I picked it up at choir practice tonight, and I thought I'd quote it here. You won't get the full effects unless you're sitting with your back against an organ, while the organist is giving it her all, but the words alone are worth it.

God Who Weeps When We Are Weeping

God who weeps when we are weeping,
maker, lover, friend of all,
we commit into your keeping,
those who suffer, struggle, fall.
Plant the seeds of peace inside us
in these days of fateful choice;
let your word and wisdom guide us
as we listen for your voice.

Christ enduring hate and violence,
hounded to a martyr's death,
calmly meeting taunts with silence,
speaking peace with your last breath:
peace, corageous and demanding,
binds us as we walk your way,
May our wills, at your commanding,
turn to acts of peace today.

Spirit strengthen and sustain us,
grant us comfort, hope and light,
lead us in your ways and train us
as we strive for truth and right,
rise above retaliation,
live the peace we long to hear,
look for reconciliation
past our anger, pain and fear.

God of every race and nation,
God of mercy, strong and just,
build again in us compassion,
recreate our hope and trust.
Though our lives seem dark and empty,
may we learn to live as one
till in safety, peace and plenty,
all your work on earth is done.
