Last week, I made a trip over the snowy, Colorado Rocky Mountains to visit people before Christmas.  Half to visit friends and fun, and the other half to visit friendly colleagues and have some fun while meeting about various mutual interests.  I got to thinking that I visited with Catholics, Protestants and Jews on my trip.  I am GRATEful for my father's having insisted on the atheistic approach, although my mother and grandmother slipped in some of their Christian beliefs here and there.  read more »
