lemon runs from job to java lessons
with kids that dislike school
(and whatever we do to encourage them,
being parents asks skills no one really has i guess )

About Haaartz being invited to pray:

For a while Jim was the minester in the Uniting Church in remote Mt Isa (in the Outback!) One woman would kneel at the front of the church and kneel when that was not the ritual of our church. She would also pray over the ill or injured.

I decided that if I were on my death bed and she prayed over me, I would die on purpose. I wasn't going to let her get the glory of my recovery.

This is part of my "Look at me being good" series in which I take a cynical view of the few who delight in the spotlight of doing great works.
