Not Only One Thing
Posted by

While I love my iPhone (and I use the word "love" advisedly, of course),
I also love the feel of a real newspaper in my hand. (Yes, I am one of
those people.) That is, the "new media" has a lot to offer, but,
needless to say, it doesn't have it all. If you ask me, anyway.
All of which is a way of getting around to saying that I'll sometimes
literally set aside a newspaper article or column, knowing that I might
want to return to it. And often (usually, really) I've underlined
certain passages that resonated for me.
So it was with a column several weeks ago by Kathleen Parker, "Never
a Dull Moment," where she tells about a new prime-time cable talk
show that she will host with Eloit Spitzer. Yes, Eliot Spitzer. Yes, that
Eliot Spitzer!
In this case, it was indeed one particular line that resonated for me,
and to which I thought I would probably want to return: "like the
rest of us, he is not only one thing."
Like the rest of us. Not only one thing.
Those are golden words.
They are humane words. They are kind words. And they are true words.
After all, whatever else we are, we are also children of God.
And that trumps everything else.
