Orange Cream Coca-Cola
I’m sitting in the easy chair drinking an Orange Cream Coca-Cola. I started several theological arguments today. But they are with two people I have never met in real life. The theology in my head is not the theology of my hands. I change diapers, I cook food, and I wash laundry. Sometimes I help…

Sleep or Beer?
I was trying to sleep in this morning. Danny called me and reminded me that it was my turn to buy beer. He’s right of course but I wish he hadn’t called so early to talk about it. He suggested a very cheap beer called Rolling Rock. But I’m buying so I’m going to get…

The Harvest in Scripture
There always seems to be people harvesting in the scriptures. They harvest wheat, grapes, and olives. Sometimes the fields are ripe and sometimes they are wild. Sometimes the Lord of the vineyard hires workers. But what exactly are the workers harvesting? It doesn’t make sense that some people are the laborers in the field and…

I want to be useful
I have never been a very industrious person. I’m a procrastinator. And I can’t go to problems because I don’t drive. So I struggle to feel like I’m pulling my weight for the sake of humanity. I’m online a lot which doesn’t feel like helping most of the time. People can’t eat or pay their…

Three O’clock AM
I should not be awake and yet I am. I had a very fun day yesterday and it is just now beginning to wear off. I turned off my computer and all the upstairs lights but my own. And yet I type into my phone which switched to black and white at my bedtime two…

Deconstructing Civilization

Granted some of those values are unhealthy, but at this point I think we’ve been literally throwing away a lot of babies with the…

Convenience or Is It?
My youngest asked for a walk this morning. I told him later. I got him ready a little while ago and his older brother decided he was coming too. I don’t like taking both boys out by myself but we all went for a walk to the local gas station and convenience store. It’s not…

Easy Chair
I’m sitting in the good easy chair, drinking a beer, typing to you, and thinking about how little I am fighting my ultimate demise. We had Culver’s last night. I had fish (cod I think), cheese curds (not very fresh), Cole Slaw (probably too sweet to be healthy), and a salted caramel milkshake (because whatever).…

Ether Got A Shower
There is a black and white stray cat in the neighborhood. We call it Popo after the police. Ether likes being outside but unfortunately is very territorial when it comes to Popo. Yesterday I heard them fighting and found them trying to kill each other in the neighbor’s driveway. I was able to break them…
