so I promised myself when I started this little project (that is now global, readership has breached 2.7 million hits per day) that I would try to avoid, how do I say this, certain "controversial" topics (i.e., religion, politics, sex, things of that nature). But since I have become addicted to writing something everyday I couldn't help myself. There's a lady in our office, let's just call her J.R., that more than wears her beliefs on her sleeve. For the most part, I'm O.K. with that. I have no problem with someone elses choice of religion. I do believe that your choices on who to follow, believe in, worship should be between you and that being, and not necessarily shared with everyone around you all day long. For those of you who don't know, I sell & help develop advertising programs to businesses locally, and in other states near by to print in the local telephone directory. That said, J.R. feels the need to say (out loud), to God, or whomever to "please bless me with a lot of money today". Her speaking out loud is more of a suggestion to whomever wants to listen, than a fervent prayer. I think a recent direct quote went something like this, "help me Jesus, the Devil wants me poor”. Now, you're starting to see that the tone of this is a little more humorous than me just being mean old Jesse. I guess the real inspiration for this, the moment that put me over the edge, was the conversation that she had with a potential customer about speaking in tongues. After that, I threw in the towel. All I'm saying here is that it gives me seriously bad vibes when people mix $$ with their religion. Let's all give thanks back to God for our blessings, we do have a lot to be thankful for, but can we keep the greediness to a minimum? Esepically when I'm in ear-shot. Have fun mates.
