Where Is It Written? Freewill
Oct. 12th, 2011 03:39 pmSagittarius Horoscope for week of October 13, 2011
"Most people who profess a deep love of the Bible have never actually read the book," says religious writer Rami Shapiro. If they did, they'd know that Satan is not implicated as the tempter of Adam and Eve. There's no mention of three wise men coming to see baby Jesus, nor of a whale swallowing Jonah. Homilies like "This too shall pass" and "God helps those who help themselves" never appear in the scriptures. And contrary to the Ayn Rand-style self-reliance that evangelicals think is a central theme of their holy book, the Bible's predominant message is that goodness is measured by what one does for others. I bring this up as a teaching about how not to proceed in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You really do need to know a lot about the texts and ideas and people and situations upon which you base your life.
The Good News according to Stephen R. Bierce is that Mum Jane has been officially "discharged" from her home nursing service, one year and two months after her cancer removal surgery. Her final prescription from them: "keep doing what you're doing". So life isn't set in stone for this family. We can persevere, and endure, and move on from our troubles.
