Certainty
I fully admit that I am not certain of anything I believe. I believe my wife loves me. I believe the earth will continue to rotate and sunlight will reach everywhere it’s supposed to reach. I believe the USA still has a couple of good years out of the political cycle left in it. I…

Washing Your Hands
I just read along with an audio of the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Mark. The disciples weren’t washing their hands before they ate. The Pharisees were upset because it violated the laws of ceremonial cleanliness. Jesus tells them they are teaching the commandments of men instead of the commandments God. But the thing…

September 11, 2024
It is the “anniversary” of the 9/11 attacks in the USA. Americans were nicer to each other in the days that followed. Facts were scarce to begin with so people hadn’t started arguing about who did it and why. But it didn’t take long for some people to paint Muslim Americans with a large bloody…

Environmental Justice
I got a survey request from the city about what ways our environmental justice grant should be spent. It took about twenty minutes and was all open ended questions. I love giving government types my opinion and this one was especially satisfying because it’s local and my ideas might not be aggregated to determine if…

Dreams Evaporating
I’ve been extra tired lately. Stress sometimes just does me in. Today, after my sons had received the care they needed, I layed down to take a nap. I slept well and had a cool dream. Well at least, I think it was a cool dream. It was pleasant and interesting during the dream. Then…

The Sabbath is for Man
Today I have rested. I haven’t been to church in months because that is anything but restful. I still kick myself for being less productive. Did the gods rest? Do they? Or is divinity 24/7? Men need rest. We are finite and fragile. The eternal and the sublime may recede in certain times and places…

The Large Items Are Gone
I probably shouldn’t be shocked that strangers came through for me when they said they would. The neighborhood action team removed the futon and mattresses without needing anything further on my part. This is a good place to live. In other news my morning is going pretty smoothly. My youngest son wanted a bath until…

Haul It Away
About once every six month our neighborhood takes large items to the dump for free. I have never tried to do this before so I don’t really know if putting a futon and some old mattresses on our front lawn will have the desired effect of getting them off the property. That is the theory…

Another Midnight
It’s another midnight on WordPress and I’m typing into the void. I try to find interesting things to write, but obviously this is not one of them. I need to wait for my reflux to settle before I can lay down. Yesterday was decent but I was awake earlier than I wanted to be and…

The house is quiet
The house is quiet except for me and Cosmos grooming at the top of the bookshelf next to me. The boys are with their aides. Stephanie is asleep. It’s the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the week and I’m still in my pajamas. It is the eye of the hurricane. It is…
