You Can’t See Me
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? This is a question that leaves me with questions. Is someone unable to see me because they are blind but they are also in the room? Can someone see my picture on the internet but can’t tell what I really look like from a…

Soft Tyranny
I reread The Declaration of Independence this afternoon. As much as I complain about how Democrats and Republicans are ruining the country, I am occasionally forced to admit that we don’t have nearly the sort of tyranny that would make men pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to dissolve the Union.

An Omnipotent God has not chosen for me to worship him. I can only choose to worship a God who has given me sovereignty over my own soul. A God like that is not omnipotent. If there is an Omnipotent God then He chooses who does and doesn’t worship Him. That God has not inclined…

Trade for Cash
If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? If I won two free plane tickets I almost certainly couldn’t use them. On the game shows when I was a kid, winners could take cash value. That meant they could at least theoretically pay taxes on the prize money and didn’t have all…

What’s the story behind your nickname? I’ve had several nicknames over the years I talked about that in one of my primary posts. Strings

Health and Well-being
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being? I take my antipsychotic medication. That’s the most important thing I do for my health every day.
