“Christian, Please Don’t Pass Me By”
Christian, please don’t pass me by “as you go and make disciples.” Somehow, I was in ‘your’ path as you went along your way, perhaps we met by dumb luck, or maybe a little grace. All I know is chaos, and that strange light from your face. We are strangers to each other, this willContinue reading ““Christian, Please Don’t Pass Me By””
“Get Your Filthy Starving Butts Off My Fat and Happy Birthright”
What’s driving continuous waves of migrates at our southern border – what’s the motivator, the power, or the physical dynamics pushing this serge… …it is NOT US policy (Title 42 or otherwise), …it is NOT Republicans or Democrats, …it is NOT criminal import/export of drugs/weapons/sex trafficked (these are capitalizing on the serge), …it is NOTContinue reading ““Get Your Filthy Starving Butts Off My Fat and Happy Birthright””
Did Scorn for Bud Lite Reveal Our True Nature?
This is just something to think about…. Religious groups do not have to agree with person’s life styes we don’t approve of – but we do have to afford those persons human decency, fair and equal treatment – in fact, that’s constitutional law and that’s what Jesus would do… To that point – imagine JesusContinue reading “Did Scorn for Bud Lite Reveal Our True Nature?”
Rinse and Repeat
Some quotes endure history much better than others: “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they’ve tried everything else.” (Winston Churchill) Here we go (as expected) proverbially defiantly arrogantly throwing everything imaginable against the walls of our Politics-Courts-Media-News-Justice Systems, Schools, Laws, Religions, Government, etc… – all the while expectingContinue reading “Rinse and Repeat”

Oddly enough with most things the math is easier and less complicated than we make it. “If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.” This famous test is an example of ‘abductive reasoning’ – it’s is a form of logical inference thatContinue reading ““If it Looks Like a Duck…””
This? This Is The Hill We Die On!
This? This is the hill we die on? This is the sword we fall on? The grand old party – keeper of law and order, fiscal responsibility, moral majority, and (self-proclaimed) values has lost its collective minds over this one (of more to come) indictment against Trump. The GOP has trashed everything conservative govt claimsContinue reading “This? This Is The Hill We Die On!”

Our role in life (real or otherwise) could be illustrated by our behavior – by our attitude toward ourselves and others – and by what we do with our time, resources and what we give our attention to. There is an explosion of voices and narratives aggressively courting usContinue reading “Perhaps, Sneetches Really Are Sneetches.”
We Just Don’t Know What Each Other is Going Through
We never know what’s going on with those around us, or how things will impact them… This morning I went to Home Depot to pick up some “stuff’ and inquire about returning paint for refund – a middle-aged black female behind the returns counter informed me I could return paint for a refund. Following up,Continue reading “We Just Don’t Know What Each Other is Going Through”
Did we just shoot down some high school kid’s science project?
It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane…! Balloons, satellites, various unique aircraft (and now drones) have been used by many nations for decades intended for surveillance, mapping, topography, weather, geological, atmospheric, military, and global strategic purposes – these devices are regularly deployed by developed nations with resources and technology able to support such efforts – forContinue reading “Did we just shoot down some high school kid’s science project?”
