Yesterday, both of the other counselors were out in the morning. I had to cover the counseling bases until they returned. A student came down from class...she was not one of mine (last name A-G is me). I listened to her sad story which cannot tell. But, it was sorrowful. She cried and it made me write this in my journal a few moments ago: Tears fall like heavy bombs onto my soul Blasting and burning a deep hole Her tears were hard and heavy, from years of estrangement. God has an infinite bottle for the tears we cry.

Always have liked Beautiful Day from U2. U2, about the only band still making good music from the time of college until now. Relics... guess the relic charge goes both ways. Yesterday to celebrate my 47th birthday (my tagline..."no mid-life crisis here, my whole life has been a crisis"), Lina I paid a visit to my alma mater Millersville University. It was deserted because the students were on Fall Break. Hey, we never got a Fall Break. We first went to the George Street Cafe to chill and for me to work on my book.

What makes the video particularly chilling is a portrait of Ben Franklin with the word "CHARITY" printed on the poster in Beck's radio studio. I mean, it is almost like a SNL spoof it is so awfully ironic. Ben Franklin was the first to start an all-volunteer fire department and that is what makes this debate so historically hot. Can the public good survive and an era of me first? Beck should have a portrait of himself in his studio with the title AVARICE . Also ironic that Beck is losing his eyesight. Maybe his eyes are starting to burn from fumes of his idealogical indignation. Charity, to be charity, is the doing of good to others without renumeration. That is why it is called Charity after all. It is a Christian virtue. I am certain that firefighting should not be a charity issue to start with. There is
