hopi ceremonialism

kingjerem...@yahoo.com (Jeremy King) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:46:16 UT

Thank goodness for Religion, and the tradition and culture that the hopi people still observe. with total respect to the Religion of the Hopi I must comment on a couple of things. During the Ceremony of which i participated in this weekend, the feeling of being together and prayer, was just not felt. The Ceremony itself has changed. the form of which the Ceremony has totally changed. The actual attitude of those participating within the Ceremony was very very odd. I have to say just one thing. If you don't have nothting nice to say tthen just don't say anything at all, and leave at that. good day people have a nice day!

Edna,

Thank you for sharing that story. I think that I have told you that my son was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia when he was 2-1/2 years old and the doctors' told us he had a 1% chance of survival. I read that story and think of how many times they told me he wasn't going to make it through the night, and how by the grace of God my son was there the next day. And it is truly by the grace of God that my son is 19 today and healthy. He had many years going through chemo, spinal taps weekly, various experimental treatments, and today I am so grateful. Now unfortunately he is my little "addict/alcoholic" and I am learning to Let Go and Let God. He started smoking marijuana about 2 years ago and started drinking about 9 months ago, and it's so hard for me. But fortunately I have friends like you to help me through all of this. And I do mean I consider you my friend, Edna. Thank you.

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'

Little Johnny's at it again... A new teacher was trying to make use of her
psychology courses. She started her class by saying, 'Everyone who thinks
they're stupid, stand up!' After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up..
