As you see I am catching up. That 90% can from PEW Research in 1999. Interestingly, since then the number has dropped to 84%, a significant drop in the black community and the number of un-churched has also risen. Overall, Christianity in the US is barely at 70% according to NORC. The book I am about to publish "Preach & Practice: The Failure of Christianity to Make a Difference" is complete. I am editing now. It is tedious but necessary. Or course, it will be edited further, but I have to get it to that point.
I am ashamed to answer this note because I have been away so long. Now I am at home everyday undergoing chemotherapy and I got all the time in the world, figuratively speaking. It is working. Sorry, I took so long to get back to you. Don

How was The Help? It's staring at me from across the room.
I agree that disagreement is essential to growth....and friendship. Thanks for the heads-up on your temporary departures from Shelfari. When they occur I will look forward to your return and the wisdom you bring.btw sorry about the insertion of a"t" in your name.GM
Hey lady! Wasssup! Ok, I'm trying to gtet back into the swing of things b/c I've been away for awhile. But, you know I never abandon my books. We must catch up!
Did you like THE GLASS CASTLE?
NighEve, look on your home page on the right hand side under pending, and you should see a group invitation there.
I like your Avatar! :) I saw it today in 3D. It's an awesome movie.
Thank you!
It's kinda funny, recently I read in one of your posts that you explained your avatar's nickname on twilight (also my favorite time of the day). However, all this time I thought you were using a play on words - naive!!!
Hello! No, I did not take that photo. I live in Melbourne. Surprisingly we lack a Sydney Harbour Bridge. I'm thinking they should install one soon. It's a great tourist attraction and it can only help us Melburnians. Did you hear they closed the Sydney Harbour Bridge for a day to have a giant picnic? They closed it off at night, installed some fake turf, and the next day families and others enjoyed a nice picnic on the bridge. So cool even though it must have caused havoc with the traffic. It'll probably become an annual event like the dust storms.
Thank you for your friendship ^_^
Due to my sojourn in academics I'm only up to 24 years myself. But my general perspective on life probably comes from previous training in philosophy of science, i.e., Karl Popper.
Hi NighEve,Last night I began a book that I'm only 72 pages into (out of 373). As I read on, I kept thinking, "I must tell Linda about this book. I know she'd like it." It's a memoir (copyright 2004) by Monique Madd. The title is Learning To Love Africa~My Journey from Africa to Harvard Business School and Back. I'm sure your TBR list is ever growing, but this is a must read.Karen
Tough times to be looking for work! I wish him all the luck (and you, lots of patience and little worry). I've been on FB for awhile, but have only recently connected there w/ some Shelfarians--I thought I searched for you a while back, but never found you. The browser we use at work doesn't display FB correctly, so I can't scroll down at all and I can't see comments : (We're trying to get the Dorothy Parker discussion started up again next week. I've been reading a lot of disappointing books lately. Did you ever read that Barth book? That's the first book I ever recycled (literally, I put it out with the recycling).What good books have been distracting you?
