the needs of the poor vs the wants of the rich (a sign outside a church I saw in October)
I also meant to say:
There's a billboard on Albany Highway I drive past all the time which says something like "Remember it is by faith you are saved, not by works." It never fails to raise my blood pressure as I pass it. It seems to say that it's fine if you never lift a finger to help anybody, so long as you have "faith". If that's really what it means, that has to be the biggest cop-out of all time.
Can I ask a quick medical question, K? I've been painting the trim & interior doors in my house. Is it bad to leave turpentine to dry on your hands?
