Fifty Seven Today

This morning I woke up thinking about The Corpse Bird, a Short Story by Ron Rash from his collection Burning Bright. I read it for the 2nd time yesterday.
So Two things I know today, I am mortal and Christ Died for the Ungodly.
But I am no more Ungodly than you are. Fleming Rutledge is right about that in her magnificent collection of sermons Help My Unbelief.
I watched Christopher Hitchens and the Muslim novelist discuss matters of Faith on BookTv Monday night. I dismiss them. I'm staying with Abraham, Isaac,Jesus, Stewart Newman and My Dad here in my 57th year.
Yesterday I also read great interview of Debra Granik who talks about the theology of AND in film magazine on bookstands now at Barnes and Noble and Elsewhere. I commend it to you.
Comes from her film Winter's Bone set in Northwest Arkansas and rings true for me.

So now you have an option. You can send me a card--I don't mind late ones--to Collinsville, Alabama. That's Steve Fox, collinsville, Alabama.
I'll get it soon and you are more than welcome to put a dollar or two in it if you like.
And or you can approach your local friends and pool your funds to Netflix or otherwise get a copy of Winter's Bone and the White Ribbon
for your progressive Church group to discuss; and please voice attribution, and thank me by name for the recommendation.

Don't worry about me being too heavy on my birthday though I could lose about 57 pounds.
I do plan to get the free Strawberry Shortcake coming to me by virtue of my presence at a Cracker Barrel before the day is over.
