To all my loyal readers and critics

I am off to the big city to partake in the perils and pleasure thereof. The adventures of Helen and marly will continue sometime next Tues or Weds. Enjoy the weekend everyone and the longest day of the year.

The longest day of the year--Summer Soltice--MY BIRTHDAY Coincidence (sp?) DH's birthday is the Winter Soltice. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter

I expect many pagans will celebrate the Summer Solstice with rituals. They have before, so why stop now? The pagans in my area are mostly oblivious to Y2K problems. They are living for the day (Carpe diem) and feel confident about the future.

Their rites are a stench before the Living God, so I anticipate He will punish their invocations with judgments. God does not change. What He has done to other nations will be meted out to our wicked nation.

Hey, Y2K Pro, for once I agree with you!

Hmmm.... Story Teller takes a "Holiday?" It's pretty rare for people in the U.S. to call a vacation or a long weekend a holiday. July 4th or Labor Day may be called a Holiday, but rarely a small vacation. Hmmm... could it be our Story Teller has English or European roots?

Well of course we celebrated the Solstice. Have you stopped going to church because of y2k? Then why should we?

You may be right about most Pagans being unaware of y2k, but that doesn't mean anything, most people of any religion are unaware.

As far as I know, it has never been your god, but you supposedly christian people who have punished Pagans...

And it's _your_ rites that include ritual cannabalism.....

What does Paganism have to do with "our nation"? Our nation is mostly atheistic or at least nominally christian.

Gayla,

He (or she) could be an Aussie or a Kiwi, we call vacations "holidays" too. Probably not though, because we just had the *shortest* day of the year. Darned cold!

Thanks, Ron, you are correct!! :-) We just had our longest day of the year. I would love to change places with you! It is hot and humid here in Texas!

LOL!!!!

People do love a mystery. The subject heading reflects nothing but my morbid sense of humor. I was shamlessly playing on the title "Death Takes a Holiday" because I was taking a few days off from preps to enjoy the hedonistic pleasures of Thai food and jacuzzis.

I was mightily inspired by my excursion to Babylon and can't wait to get Helen's latest adventure out of my cranium and into cyber print.
