I’ve been working on Matthew 15 today and have a pretty good idea of what “blind” is: someone who can’t see what is in front of him. What I don’t know is what you call someone who sees what is not in front of her.

and interesting that she had this to say ….
“Rice started her day with a visit to Jesus’ traditional birthplace in the West Bank town of Bethlehem. Rice, the daughter and granddaughter of Presbyterian ministers, lit a candle in the grotto and paused for prayer.
“Being here at the birthplace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has been a very special and moving experience,” said Rice. “It is also, I think, a personal reminder that the prince of peace is still with us.”
She said the three monotheistic religions of the Holy Land, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, “have an opportunity to overcome differences, to put aside grievances, to make religion a power of healing and a power of reconciliation, rather than a power of divisions.”
For some reason, it surprises me that she felt the freedom to say that in such a politically loaded setting. Hmmm. Interesting.

How about “hallucinatory”?
If, indeed, blessed are the Peacemakers, you can not blame her for trying.
Danny – I’d call it “American arrogance.”
Al – in that same sermon, Jesus warned against building houses on sand.
And what do you know…the day’s not over and the “moment of opportunity” is gone:

How about deluded?
From an old, copyright-free Webster’s:
A false belief that is resistant to confrontation with actual facts.
