About Me
- Sr. Lilli Ana
- (I'll upload a new pic soon.) The habit sort of gives it away, doesn't it? Well, maybe the outside picture but not the inside, and definitely not the whole. Reading my writings I hope you'll learn more about the Deep-Time picture of what makes up "me", for my history began 13.7 billion years ago; and, there is only One "I" out of which we all bring ourselves forth into the intricate web of life we find ourselves in today.

Maybe you could look at your choice to keep playing that tape... and whatever it is you're getting out of it.
Oh..."THAT" tape.
The tape burned into my brain by the Southern Baptist Convention (and fueled by my mother)?!
I was just making a sarcastic comment about people's never-ending ways of judging self and others -- thanks in large part to the religious institutions that claim a judging God who only finds us lacking -- some more than others!
Next time I post a sarcastic remark I'll add the disclaimer: "Just being an *ss!"
:-)
It's interesting that you write this, because this topic has been on my mind very much lately, only from the other side.
Recently I found myself judging some others that I find particularly unworthy. Well, I do it all the time, truth to tell, but this time God stepped in in an instant. The thoughts blasted into my brain like lightening - about having logs in my own eyes, etc., etc. I don't think I can convey the LOVING way it was said, but God definitely told me to mind my own business. So I did (for that immediate moment).
I judge the judgmental, which makes me one of them, only I feel worse about it, because I really do know better. Did you know that the word "hypocrite" comes from the Greek word "hypocrite", meaning "actor"? Well, sometimes I am the Master Thespian!
Humbling.
Lilli Ana dearest, I accidentally deleted your e-mail address and want to talk to you about starting my own blog. If you still have mine, would you shoot me an e-mail? I have yet to make my first post (to texashotflash.blogspot.com), because I don't know what to say - or, rather, I have too much to say. Should it be a one-topic blog, or about all the stuff in my life (you know, God, cooking, eating, cats, politics, menopause, my burning desire to visit Africa, marriage, aging, joy, rage, etc.) Would appreciate your input.
And you're not being an *ss. (the * cracks me up) Just remember that you are not lacking in any way - you fit perfectly into the Lilli Ana-shaped space in the Body of Christ. And then do go give Simon a kiss on the nose.
