A Politician's Dream

Tea Party in 1773 may happen again, but instead of tea, it might be coffee.  Well, no.  We love our Dunkin Donuts Coffee too much to just toss it into Boston Harbor.  I think we might just throw Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in Boston Harbor, or at least hang an effigy of him from the Liberty Tree.

Our Health Secretary has declared war on Dunkin Donuts for containing too much sugar.  Our governor, Maura Healey says, "Come take it from me!"  

People in New England love Dunkin' Donuts.  It seems like there's a "Dunk" on every street corner in Boston.  We love it so much.

You may think it's a silly thing to make a big deal over, but think about it.  It's exactly what a politician would latch onto, to publish herself.  It's not THAT important but will keep your picture in the newspapers for a bit.

The Samaritan Woman

 John 4: 5-52 is about the Samaritan Woman.  This is a long passage and accordingly has a lot of meat in it.  So, what surprised me in thinking about it, is that I realized at least two new facts that I never realized before.  The first is the fact that Jesus doesn't ask the Samaritan to convert to Judaism.  Come to think of it, He doesn't ask the Romans to convert, either.  Perhaps just belief in Jesus is what counts.  Think of Dismas on the cross.  He doesn't say he is sorry.  He just expresses belief.  

Doesn't this dismiss any divisions in religion, we may have?      

To change the thread: it is said that the Samaritan woman had five husbands.  Think of the times.  Women had no power--no say in marriage or divorce.  Therefore, five men rejected her.  She had no authority to reject them!  The poor woman!  Five times she was thrown out!  I am glad she found Jesus.
