Do You Believe in Magic?

   Do you believe in magic?  I don’t mean the parlour tricks performed by illusionists, rather the old magic by wizards and sorcerers.

Virtue or Kindness?

What's more important, virtue or kindness? Who's better, a pure virtuous person or kind compassionate person?

 

If one person is very good & pure but occasionally has a mean streak, and another has lots of sex but is really nice, who's the better christian?

 

I was watching Doubt (Meryl Streep) and the priest said it's possible to kill kindness in the name of virtue. That's the origin of this question. Feel free to define what virtuous, pure or kind mean to you.

A Random Act of Kindness

One of our residents shared an experience she had today and I have her permission to share it.

 

She went to the pharmacy to pick up her medications, which were numerous and the bill came to $91, a hefty amount for this particular senior.

The lady behind her put a fifty dollar bill on the counter and instructed the cashier to put that toward the amount.  My resident was stunned.  She said it really wasn't necessary but the lady quietly insisted and when asked declined to give her name.
