Arguing with God
My homeless friend Raven is back. He has a very myopic view of God. He is convinced that when I am arguing with him I am arguing with God. He believes God is omnipotent which is very common. Hardly anyone actually wrestles with the problem of evil. An all powerful god is complicit with the…

Sleep eludes me
I got intoxicated. It’s my own fault but that was twelve hours ago. I thought I’d be asleep by now. We have an appointment with a plumbing technician this afternoon. I need to be dressed and alert for that. Every second that ticks forces me to realize I need to just stay awake for another…

The Sweetest Thing
Brandon and William came over tonight. Brandon’s girlfriend LeeAnn was with The four boys, Stephanie, and me. Ben had a very hard time watching the movie with us but he let it play when everybody else did. After everyone went home I asked Ben if he had fun with Brandon and Will? He answered “love…

Anxiety
I’m still not sleeping right. I’ve been getting to bed at midnight fairly regularly but when my alarm goes off at 10 am I shut it off and try to go back to sleep. I’m sleeping a lot but it doesn’t seem to be doing very much good. I simply don’t want to be awake.…

Jewish, German, Irish, Italian, and Japanese citizens faced prejudice that dehumanized them.

I can’t do…

Lacking Wisdom
I made a New Year’s Resolution to describe myself as gnostic more often and a weirdo less often. But I can’t seem to convince anyone that I have experienced eternal truth. That is a very hard sell. On the other hand most people agree without much thought that I am a weirdo. If any of…

Poop Day
It’s garbage day tomorrow. That means diapers and cat litter need to be taken out of the house and put into the garbage bin. All that poop is my responsibility. I have almost no sense of smell which is a small blessing on poop day. It mostly stays pretty contained during the week which is…

Free Speech
A long time ago I swore an oath to defend The Constitution of the United States. I promised the federal government that I would kill and die for it. I am not legally bound to that promise any longer. I am far less enthusiastic about most of the Constitution but I love and will fight…
