Ravenous Wolves
The Bible warns about people that present as sheep but inwardly are ravenous wolves. It’s good advice. It also reminds me to be open about the areas where I am a ravenous wolf. Even at my worst I want people to know what they are getting from me. To me the idea reinforces my desire…

Pharisees
I have the unpopular opinion that the Pharisees get a bad rap. There are things on which they were correct. It is better that one man die than for a nation to dwindle in unbelief. They were certainly as history shows mistaken to aim that at Jesus. But I think the principle is sound. It…

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…

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…

Centipedes
We have centipedes in the basement. I’m pretty sure they help to control the population of smaller bugs. We prefer a few natural predators to poisons and traps. The centipedes fill a niche in the ecosystem of our house. The move around so unlike our dearly departed spider Bob I can’t tell them apart or…

Perfect
Tonight is perfect. I can’t tell you why. I’m kinda hosting a party where I’m also the biggest guest. Or else I’ve been drinking coffee and THC tonight. Hard to tell really. Am I sufficiently objective to navigate my life or am I just high? Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Perfectly Away!

House and Home
Growing up I was taught that a house was not necessarily a home and that a home wasn’t necessarily a house. But some of the things that make a good house are essential for a good home. A modern house has electricity, plumbing, refrigeration, and internet. I’m not saying you can’t have a home without…
