If Israel did not exist, anti-semites would have to invent it.
I went to bed last night grim and low in spirit. I woke up this morning with a light heart humming a refrain: “He only is holy, He only is one.” I believe its the closing lines of a hymn I’ve heard before, but I can’t remember what hymn.

Even meaningless blobs of cells can hear and differentiate speech.
Old books are sovereign antidotes to the idiocies of the age, both the idiocies of style and those of content.

Wow. 58 new missions. A 16% increase all at once.
I am reminded of the massive temple-building efforts just prior to 2000.
