Only three and already being quoted
By the way... Olivia is famous. She is quoted prominently in this Sunday's Easter sermon, The Because of Things, by one of the premier preachers in Western Christendom, our own Rev. Elizabeth Kaeton.
Part of that sermon was picked up by the Star Ledger on page two of Sunday's edition. Really.
About Me
- JimMollo
- I started this blog primarily as a lark and didn't post to it much for the first year. However, I've become slightly addicted (go figure) since early 2008. I'm finishing my MTS in September with a project on religion (Christianity for me) and the arts (pottery for me). I'd love to hear your responses (please be helpful) to my reflections on the crossroads between arts and spirituality. Amid those posts, you'll see much of the rest of my life play out - my family, church, (deceased) pets, and our odd lives.

And because she's too clever by half, she understood that... "
"What I heard myself say to Olivia in response to her question was this: 'Jesus died because good people got confused and terrified. And, when people get confused and terrified, they can do bad things, things they never thought in a million years they could ever do. But, they do them anyway. That's exactly what happened to people in the time of Jesus. They got confused and terrified and because of that, Jesus died.'
"Confusion and terror are the enemies of intelligent thought and reason. They always have been. They always will be. Confusion and terror are also the assassins of the God-given gifts of possibility and creativity and imagination."
Little Olivia will put the foremost orator of our time to shame one day, won't she?
