 are they allowed to still use the wine?  maybe so.  <\/p>\n<p>all right, i feel a lot of potentially (unintentionally) blasphemous things coming on, so i\u2019d better stop now.<\/p>\n<p>i will just say that when i first tried stand-up comedy, when i lived in LA, this was probably about eight years ago, maybe?  i wrote about Jesus, wondering what happened to him during the teen years, since nobody ever talked about that, just jesus the baby in the swaddling clothes and then jesus the man who was good.  i felt there was a lot of grey area, though.<\/p>\n<p>enough already.  stay warm, and in a few months, spring will arrive.<\/p>\n<p>ok then,<\/p>\n<p>grace still searching<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>where is it?
