Regardless of what happens in March, July is the tale of the tape, and brokered is the inevitable end of both Biden and Bernie. Happened in 1952 to Estes Kefauver, who had a deciding primary season victory and the nomination sewn up. Who was Estes Kefauver? I rest my case.

There are sufficient issues to resolve by man's intellect and faith in himself to achieve great things, with God's help, to worry about whether God invented Himself, or was born as we are, or if creation was a bang, or an organized assembly, to worry about issues that may or may not contain, restrain, or abstain from us while energy and matter struggle for dominance. Let's solve problems that have us in perplexity here and now. Like pennies managed properly, the dollars will follow in their good time.

If practiced properly, with a sincere and humble heart, having real intent with a desire to know the truth, with faith in Christ, avoiding doubt, fence-sitting, and cynicism, yes, prayer is effective by the working of faith that God can reveal, and heal, comfort, and clarify, redeem and restore, worlds without end.

Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum is my favorite all-around novel. [Original Italian, but I also own an English edition]

I am a wordsmith by profession, in English and French. English is the most verbose in its lexicon of any modern language, and in my experience in over 30 countries, those native-speakers find English to be beautifully spoken and delightful to hear. To me, Portuguese has those distinctions. English, for all its lexicon, sometimes is limited to single words for for things, and is a tough nut to crack for foreigners, mainly because, compared to French, for example, breaks most of its grammatical and spelling rules at the drop of hats.
