Decision 2005

Hehe, funny subject...anyways.

The conclave have (has?) failed to elect a new pope today after releasing black smoke. I heard that at first it appeared white, then gray, and then finally black...what's funny about that is that if it were white then that means that they would have elected a new pope. That confused thousands I bet!

You must forgive my occasional sardonic sense of humor (and I apologize to our Roman Catholic friends, whom I hope I will not greatly offend) but that first plume of smoke brought the rather shocking thought to mind, "Oh, no....they've cremated the Pope!!"

Soemtimes, in these days of when many great leaders are lost, I use a little heard-bitten humor to steel my heart at the sorrow of the loss.

In Christ,

Matthew (soulfyre)
