Widows, Prophets & Pirates

Sunday morning and lots of news. Paul Cellucci dies, an admirable public servant and former governor of Massachusetts. Lyudmila Putina and Vladimir divorcing. Paris Jackson to hospital after suicide attempt, not a good sign for one so young. Justin Bieber’s goons rough up someone with a camera. Eggs thrown at the judges in Britain’s Got Talent contest. Turkish Spring underway in Ankara. Nelson Mandela, 94, in hospital. Santa Monica shooting suspect posthumously makes the case for tighter gun controls against mental cases. War tide seems to be shifting in Syria. China and USA agree on Buicks but not on cyperspies. Home sales heating up. Zimmerman trial opening. Pres defends domestic spying. Quirky cars don’t get the credit they deserve

Home front: roast pork on whole wheat bread, black coffee in my PCB Pirates mug 

And time for some quick thinking on the fact that today is my turn in the pulpit. Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath, Paul to Galatians, or Jesus and the Widow of Nain?
