Want to get to Heaven?

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE):

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral,(1)  nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,(2,3)   ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Footnotes:

1. 6.9 the immoral: Literally, “fornicators.”
2. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Two Greek words are rendered by this expression
3. 6.9 homosexuals: Greek has “effeminate nor sodomites.” The apostle condemns, not the inherent tendencies of such, but the indulgence of them.

Hey Democrats, here's a potential candidate ...

Given the party's stance on a number of issues - sexual morality, religious liberty, homosexual  actions, abortion, contraception, etc. - he's a potential dark horse candidate!

Reading down ...

Last year, I read 35 books. This year, it seems obvious I'll read fewer books. I don't know if the books got thicker and denser this year, or if I got caught up in other activities.

Some people read many times more books.

Not that it matters.

But it does make me wonder.

Perhaps if I do retire in June I can really up my total in 2020.

Not sure what to read now. Working through a collection of essays by Father Schall and I started Brideshead Revisited.

We'll see.

Representative Adam Schiff
gets wide-eyed when he gets a whiff
of deceit and deception, though events have shown
he's oblivious to his own.
