Ornery
It’s been a good day so I don’t know why I’m feeling so ornery. The house is a pleasant temperature and I only had to leave it briefly to take out the trash. I woke up at a reasonable time and got dressed. I’ve eaten quite a bit of tasty food today though not the…

History Lessons
What historical event fascinates you the most? The historical event that most fascinates me is the appearance of Jesus Christ in the Americas after his resurrection. It is not largely recognized as historical but it is the most monumental thing that has happened to the human race apart from the resurrection itself. If Christ really…

More Wishes
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? If I got three wishes I would wish for more wishes, more genies, and maybe the seven Dragon Balls for the especially exotic wishes. Most versions of the story of Aladdin the genie in the lamp doesn’t limit the number of wishes at all.…

Poverty Thinking
There is a very pervasive myth that poor people are better than rich people. The idea is that the poor are more generous, more honest, and more decent. Poverty is in this sense being praised. In Traditional Christianity this sentiment is overt. Rich people can’t enter heaven. Give everything you have away to feed the…

Another Party Dream
I had a dream that I was living in a big hotel in a very messy room with the Valedictorian of my highschool class. It was almost Halloween and the hotel was having a big party. I did not have anything to wear. I started digging through things to find a ready made costume but…
