"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
I took the advice of the Headmistress over at The Common Room and started brushing the crumbs from Satchmo’s high chair onto our front walk. It took them a day to find the bounty. I even had a male cardinal inches from my face, in my kitchen window! (click the pictures to see their fact [...]

So I looked it up on an online dictionary: ca·thar·tic (k-thärtk) [...]

You have to have seen this Monty Python sketch to understand the parallels I’m about to make between a dead parrot and the sanctity of marriage. My mom’s claim that God is okay with her divorce and planned remarriage is as ridiculous as Michael Palin claiming that the parrot is just sleeping.
