Soft Jesus
"Jesus was soft on crime. He would never have been elected anything," writes Anne Lamott in her new book Plan B.
I haven't read the book. I saw the quotation when I stumbled across a review of it in the St. Petersburg Times. I was looking for the Sunday crossword puzzle. I liked the quote, though, and wrote it down. What a wonderful bit of wisdom. Good authors make observations like that.
Sometimes not-so-good writers get lucky and make them too. When I do it people mistake me for being more literate than I am. I'd like to read more. Really.
I'm sure I would if I could ever finish the puzzle.

I think Anne Lamot wrote a book about writing-- or someone did-- where she said to write at least 1000 words a day-- I wonder if this is what you are trying with your 1200 word blog...
I wish I were so disciplined. The 1200 I mention in my profile is the 1200 character limit you're allowed to type in your profile.
