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…

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.

Weakness
It’s said that a person who cannot choose violence is only weak and that only a person who can choose violence but does not deserves to be called gentle. I have been meditating on my own weaknesses today. My health is average so I can’t claim any significant physical advantage if I were forced to…

Just One Beer
Danny bought me a six pack tonight but I was only able to drink one. I had it with a bowl of lasagna and they made me tired. Danny went home early because he was tired too. Lord do we know how to party. LoL
