Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

this one goes out to the gulf coast. peace, love, potable water, etc.

1) knowing that those who've survived will have their revenge on washington, d.c.
2) the amazing, important work done by journalists and bloggers this past week (if it weren't for them, people might STILL be trapped in the convention center)
3) charity fuckin' hospital, fuckin' hell, when new orleans is rebuilt all those doctors should have streets named after them
4) angry loud anarcho-collectivist punk rock (it's been helping me through all this)
5) nagin
6) kanye (haha)
7) being reminded about the useful parts of religion (humanitarianism, generosity, helping people be strong, all that sappy shit)
8) having a roof over my head

(9 & 10 pending... i'm saving them for a better week.)

Luke 17:28-33 KJV

"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; (29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. (30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. (31) In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. (32) Remember Lot's wife. (33)Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it."

"Remember Lot's wife." Three short words! That's all there is! But this scant verse found in Luke 17:32 calls to our memory the sad commentary of a woman... a wife... a mother.., who refused to heed the commands of God. Fifteen words in the Old Testament give us the biography of this worldly, selfish woman. They are found in Genesis 19:27: "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."
Mrs. Lot had a husband who, when given a choice between the higher, less attractive grazing land, and the fertile plain of Jordan, chose the fertile land and pitched his tent "toward Sodom." While the Scriptures do not plainly indicate this, one can imagine Mrs. Lot strongly urging her husband to get a "big stone house" in Sodom (in keeping with his abundant wealth). After all, "Why should we live in a tent on the outskirts?" Luke 17:28 conveys the impression that Lot's wife was a woman who ate and drank and entertained elaborately and who squandered her husband's money and dressed lavishly and lived for the things of the world. The fact that her daughters married Sodomite men indicates her low ethical ideals and her cheap moral standards.
The city of Sodom is synonymous with all that is evil, immoral, and corrupt. Homosexuality was rampant among its inhabitants. It was out of this city that Lot and his family were told to flee. After much persuasion, Lot, Mrs. Lot, and their daughters left town; and it was then that God poured out His indignation and wrath by raining fire and brimstone upon the city and its inhabitants. Against all warnings, Mrs. Lot turned and looked back at the city as God was showering His fury upon it. Even though she was physically out of the blazing inferno, yet her heart and affections were back in the city. She longed to be where the sin was! And as a result of her disobedience, God immediately turned her body into a lifeless pillar of salt.

Lot's wife, even today, continues to stand out as a stark evidence of the judgment of God upon all who will not heed His mandates. Mrs. Lot needs no eulogy. She speaks for herself. Remember Lot's wife!

Dude, remember Lot's DAUGHTER. That's right, the one he threw to the howling mob, the one who had "never known a man" and meant so little to her father that he shoved her out the door for the Sodomites. The Christian take on this event appears to be "daugher? what daughter?". The Jewish take offers a little more practical advice: "let this be a lesson to you on the dangers of living in the wrong neighborhood".

Sorry, off topic, it's a sore spot.

xpost, nola.com thinks that the convention center has been emptied:

On the seventh day of this disaster of biblical proportions, the last evacuees from the fetid conditions of the Superdome and the Convention Center rested with New Orleans in the rearview mirror of the buses taking them to clean, safe havens far away.
