We were talking this morning about how lethargic we all were. And that we really need a good thunderstorm to blow all this bad air away - from the atmosphere and from our psyches. Do any of you ever get that feeling that you just need a good thunderstorm?
There was a huge line of thunderstorms bearing down on us this afternoon. It got dark, and thundered, and the wind blew...and we got about 5 drops of rain. And then it was gone. Officially, at the airport, there was 0.21" of rain. Kate even called to see if we had finally gotten some rain - they'd had a deluge this morning. Maybe next time.
Around here, Friday night TV is all PBS. Washington Week in Review; a local program, Tennessee Insider; Bill Moyers' Journal; and NOW. At least there's one night with all quality programming.
Moyers had an interesting interview with Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America. What a well-spoken, thoughtful, and intelligent person she seems to be. I would like to share her comment about religion and science:
...Religion and science are both ways of knowing, but they go at it from somewhat different perspectives. Science asks questions about how things happen and where they've come from. Religion and faith traditions ask questions of meaning, about why we're here and what we should do with what we have here, and how we should relate to the rest of creation.
--Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori
