Yes, right in the heart of where the Christian Right did its
\nbest to turn our airmen into zealots for Jesus<\/a>,  <\/span>a stone circle has been officially
\nadded<\/a> <\/span>to worship facilities at our Air
\nForce Academy near Colorado Springs. The article from the Academy
\nitself shows Tech. Sgt. Robert Longcrier consecrating the new circle with white
\nsage.  <\/span>I can barely imagine, if
\nthat, the difficulties he and our other brothers and sisters in the service<\/span>
\nhad to go through for this to happen. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is wonderful news at so many levels and in so many ways
\nthat I’ll simply leave it up to you guys to explore them.  <\/span>You’ll probably come up with some I’d
\nmiss.<\/p>\n

My thanks to Niyati for tipping me off.<\/p>\n

On this, my heart sings.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b><\/p>\n

Celia’s Symbol Song<\/i><\/a> <\/i>is really appropriate here.<\/p>\n
