View from the choir

I am a Catholic layperson and Secular Franciscan with a sense of humor. After years in the back pew watching, I have moved into the choir. It's nice to see faces instead of the backs of heads. But I still maintain God has a sense of humor - and that we are created in God's image.

Hero?

A bike riding "hero" named Lance
has again won the Tour de France.
He gave riding his life,
but neglected his wife,
reflecting our values, perchance?

Yeah!!!!! I'm so glad someone finally brought this up. What happened to Lance's wife and son? They sort of just fell of the face of the earth when Sheryl Crow appeared.

Hero worship of anyone is a dicey thing, that's true
But to judge him by his private life shows the pettiness of you
