My friend, Dave Richarson, coined a great phrase that has been running through my mind today: I'm giving up religion for Lent. Here's an excerpt from the song he wrote (copyright 2005):
i'm giving up religion for lent
i'm giving up this halo and my pseudo-holiness
i know the way i live and it's not the best i can
i'm just a dirty, ragamuffin man
you're not just the way to heaven
you're the truth exposing me
you're the life that I could never live and it covers me
the truth that exposes me is the same truth that sets me free...free
and i've got know grand illusions
i can hear the rooster crow
and i know before this night is through i'll deny i ever knew you
and what's worse is i can not be sure that i will even care
but i want to...i want to
i'm giving up religion for lent...

I love this song! Has Dave recorded it?
Peace,
Mike
Hi Mike!
Jen passed your comment on to me (and Dave) via email. My husband has recorded it on his last cd, 'Faith- working it out' (Jen has a copy) and is currently working on a new cd. This is one of my favorite songs of his. We do need to get his music online somehow - I will keep you and Jen posted if we get a website up and running. Be well!
Susan
