“Coming Down” is live
I have written a story called: Coming Down. It is a story that explores what the day of the crucifixion would have looked like if Jesus had refused to die. I’d like to thank the publisher Irreantum for another acceptance. Enjoy my story and the rest of the work they produce. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird,…

Suffering, Struggle, and Gratitude
I have an online friend who wants to eliminate suffering. All suffering if possible. I reject the idea that this is possible. She and I for instance agree that we live in a war universe. We also agree that war is chocked full of innocent bystanders. So my argument is that we would have to…

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…

Painting
For Christmas my granddaughter sent me an acrylic paint set. It didn’t come with brushes but Stephanie ordered a pack that came today. I am slowly working my way into a space where I can do some actual physical painting. I’ve never made a serious attempt at it before. Wish me luck, and as always…

Selfish
I want more than I need. I’m pretty sure of it. Stephanie wants me to be my authentic self. That I think is my authentic self. She also wants us to be sustainable. I want to eat more than I need to eat. That is not sustainable. I don’t care. I want you to bring…

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…
