Formulaic

I wish everyone reading and most of the people not reading a fantastic seventh day of the year and many more, if only to fit in with this seventh day. Fitting in is important. The president of America leads us to believe that he enjoys the feeling of the inside of his jeans and that he prays and that he's just like you and me. He fits in. He is also very important, arguably the most important man in the world, discounting religious idols such as Mohammed or the Buddha or the president's own personal favorite, JC, protagonist of the best selling book in the world. I speak of the Bible. The Bible, filled with words gifted to us by god himself, via publishing companies who deliver them to hotels, churches, and bookstores in every corner of the world. Word spreads far. Farther than Moses could ever see, even from the top of Mount Sinai, where he conversed with flaming flora and a pair of cracked stones fell from the sky into his waiting, faith-strengthened arms. Perhaps Moses lifted weights with his faith. Strength is among the most sought-after qualties we have in our shrinking world, and those who possess and control strength also possess and control those who do not possess and control strength.
