It is in times of crisis that your discover the people who claimed to be your friends are actually your back-stabbing enemies, i.e., Brutus joining the senatorial assassins of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, and that people you thought were only peripheral acquaintances, are actually your best friends. As they say, it is time to fish or cut bait, and I have said goodbye to those who only work discord and acrimony, smiling while carrying out Satan's work.
Vanessa and I recovered from the melee, with the beautiful wedding of my granddaughter, Alexis Jordan Marlowe and Zach Marlowe (Who I will call Mr. Alexis Jordan Marlowe, LOL...not REALLY, Zach)
Yesterday we had a peaceful splendid lunch at BJ's, watched The Inheritance (I highly suggest this movie), went to Mass at 4:30, came home and had a wonderful evening. Today we are going on a cook-out, somewhere, wherever thew highway takes us, without a thought to the coming week with all of its potential stress.
Proverbs 10:18 says, “Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool.”
Backstabbers are fools because they are rejecting honesty, love, reconciliation, and kindness. They are defying Jesus' Golden Rule:
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12) and instead say, "Do unto others before they can do unto me."
Auf Wiedersehn, loosers.
