For the Grace of God

Father, thank You for making me alive in Christ! I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour, and because He died for me, I can live the abundant life here on earth. Help me stay focused on You this day & live with the enthusiasm that comes from knowing You in Jesus’ name, Amen.

What a marvelous day!

Talk about living with differences; I met Abby and Britaney Hansel, two people in a joined body with independant minds and shared body parts. How do you describe the phenomenon of conjoine twins?
They are a lovely 'entity'; and just when I thought that being bi-bionic with three ligaments in my neck fused with metal (I cannot go through a metal detector unanounced), was a unique and indespensable way of living on the third rock from the sun, I make the aquaintance , cybernetically , of course, of two lovely girls conjoined and independant of thought.

exoteric \ek-suh-TER-ik\, adjective:

2. Not belonging, limited, or pertaining to the inner or select circle, as of disciples or intimates.

4. Pertaining to the outside; exterior; external.

In my exoteric search for meaning, I come across two conjoined peaople and find out today's word. How Bizarre???

Misanthropy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Misanthropy is generalized dislike, distrust, disgust, contempt or hatred of the human species or human nature. A misanthrope, or misanthropist is someone who holds such views or feelings. The word's origin is from Greek words μῖσος (misos, "hatred") and ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos, "man, human being").

That is what Basil Fawlty is. It is not just the name; I believe that Torquay is a great place.
