Make a note: it is possible to be a person of faith without wanting to live in a theocracy. It is possible to have a faith which informs your political views without needing to blur the line between church and state. I feel a treatise coming on, although most of the work has already been done in a challenging work entitled God's Politics: Why the Right is Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It by Jim Wallis (which I'm finally getting around to reading).

Meanwhile, we're gearing up for one of the most significant celebrations of our family year: the Autumnal Feast. The lynchpins of the menu have been decided (but cannot be devulged because at least one of the guests is a regular reader and one must maintain the element of surprise). This week will be spent in breaking down the menu and getting started on prep. I can't wait. Look for a full report next Monday.

It's going to be a busy week...I need to get started!
