Tired Nonviolent Cow

Although my cold and cough are going away I am feeling extremely tired. I do not know what is causing it but it sure helps one to slow down for Lent.

A security guard at Marquette University saw me park my car and said he recognized me as the ‘infamous Bob Graf” who was not welcomed on campus. I told him I was not banned from campus and was just going over to the library for an hour of prayer and fasting. He came in the library lobby with a few other security guards and started to tell us how we were trespassing and going to call the police to arrest us. We did not pay him much attention but he kept repeating the mission. Our 92 year Jesuit priest friend started to take him seriously and the security guard was engaged in a conversation saying how we were arrested and chased out of the library lobby before—all that was not true. Finally some other security guards came and called him and his buddies aside. After awhile he left the library and after some more time the two other security guards said the Dean said we could stay unless we were disruptive and than they left. How silly this all seems when one looks at the bigger picture of things of how Teaching Killing without conscience at Marquette destroys real lives.

Dawn of DMZ gardens called to tell me that DMZ gardens had just won a contest and is receiving 25 fruit and nut trees. I am not sure of the details yet since we were both called away by other calls when we briefly talking twice. I do not know much about growing Fruit and Nut trees in the Central City but it sound interesting and good.

A church lay leader is opposing using the 1.1 million dollars for the spiritual and corporal works of mercy for the poor in North Central Milwaukee wrote me again today, this time just reversing what she said the other day. I wrote back to her and other Church leaders that people were starving and dying in the North Central Milwaukee and I had no time for email battles and all I am seeking is open dialog on the use of the money. I will not play email games with her or anyone else anymore. All this reminded me that I need to finish the Parable I am writing on this question of the money and the poor. I will try to finish the draft tomorrow.

Being so tired seems not to affect observations.
