[SynchroBlog] SynchroBlog Digest, Vol 236, Issue 2

Beth,

No way.  The translations always come out wrong.  I've actually got more
forthcoming on the topic, but again all in Portuguese.  I really should work
some of it out in English.

One point I made in a sermon recently was that power is a funny thing.
Every time someone things he or she has found a position of power, the
discovery is made that the power isn't there.  Worse still, one often finds
that the journey to power is deeply corrupting.
