The Bombs Bursting
Another 4th of July has come and nearly gone. I stayed up until early this morning and slept most of the day. The neighbors are lighting fireworks all around. I haven’t heard any sirens so I guess nothing has gone terribly wrong. Explosions sanctioned by the local and state governments are an interesting way to…

Yardwork
I have a buddy that mows the lawn, but he doesn’t do the weed trees at the edge of the house. Today I took my clippers outside and cut down all the stuff growing at the edges. This doesn’t actually kill anything unfortunately. I think we would have to use herbicide to do that, but…

brother god
I am having another conversation about how much I can or even want to follow Jesus. The traditional view that he is fully God and fully man detracts from the ability and desire to do so. If I am not also fully god and fully man then I can’t really be a disciple. He can…

New Computer
I got my new computer today. I took the old one down then set up everything on the new one. Then I realized I hadn’t backed up my personal files from the old computer. So I took the new one apart, set up the old one again, saved all my individual work to a flash…

Knowing Scripture
I use the term scripture loosely. When I started reading one of the first things my parents got me were Bible comic books. I think the brand was called Arch. I have a distinct memory of the battle between David and Goliath in soft pastels. I’ve been studying the Bible ever since. Over the years…

Swimming at the Y
We had a little extra money so Stephanie got a family membership to the YMCA. Ben loves swimming. We went as a family today. We all stayed in the water walking channel for half an hour. Then Stephanie and Ben went to the hot tub. Alex and I did more water walking. When he was…

Fireworks
Independence Day (July 4th) is next week. The fireworks have begun. The local safety page says not to call the police if the noise keeps you awake or frightens the cats. But oddly enough if the cats start shooting back the police will get involved. It’s going to be a loud week. Independence Day is…

Cat Litter
I’ve been putting off changing the litter in the three litter boxes. I did that today. I got all the way out to the garbage bin before one of the bags broke. I really need to be more proactive about this job. It gets grosser the longer I put it off. But it’s done for…

The Soda Fairy
Our autistic son Ben doesn’t know where we hide the soda. This is a good thing because he’ll drink a whole 12 pack in a few hours if he gets the chance. Then I have to clean up the puke. So the soda is hidden. We’ve been telling him that the soda fairy brings him…

Middle Class
As I’ve written before a very long time ago a well meaning professor told the class I was in that a bachelors degree was a guaranteed position in the middle class for the rest of our lives. That to my ears was a tremendously crappy promise. Middle income earners in the US do most of…
