Supreme Guidance
I am still slowly working my way through Chuang Tzu. Sometimes I am truly moved by the idea of The Tao. Sometimes I think that it is analogous to the Holy Spirit. But in that thought experiment only the Tao and the Holy Spirit exist. It seems at times like this that there is guidance…

Technically the Weekend
Stephanie and I were discussing finances. Well I was discussing them and she was telling me she didn’t have the spoons to do it. She said she didn’t even know what day it was. That’s fair because all our days seem to blend together sometimes. But our middle child’s day program aide said “Have a…

Phone Calls and Awesome
