Yesterday, I posted about abuse, in conjunction with thousands of other bloggers around the world. I asked people to tell me if they had any cause they wished to have some publicity. And I got a letter from a dear friend and did not publish it. I ...

Last night was pot pouri and you can't have the same thing for supper every night, well, unless you are me, I am on my third night in a row of peaches for supper. I think I could live on those alone. I might be trying to, giggle.
So ...

Tonight is going to be sort of free form. I sometimes do this on email, usually with a subject of pot pouri since I tend to cover a lot of unrelated ground, varied turf you might say as I wander the twists and turns within. I've got a ...

About the two greatest threats to planet earth. There is one greater. Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously named it: Fear. We have nothing to fear but fear itself. I'm reading a book, of late, about transcendence, I'm going to talk it about later this week, ...

Tonight I'm going to start with a story. A real story. A real sad story. Then, I'm going to talk about that a bit. What it really means. And more.

Would you take bets on what I might think those are? :^). I won't make you wait. Religion and Global Warming. Come to think of it, they aren't all that much different. Both create huge division between people and both really heat up any discussion.
Let's ...

How are these two words linked? And why would I use them in the title of this post? Good questions. Really good, considering they are my own, giggle. Let me explain.
I need to start by quoting a few lines from Sarah McLachlan's wonderful song, Possession, at ...

While reading last night, I came across a question, which I've seen stated many times, in many ways. Usually by people who are not necessarily believer's in a Universal Creator of any kind, this book, is Robert Heinlein's, Stranger in a Strange Land, one my all-time favorites. What ...

I've been thinking about this part for a couple days. On September 3, I talked a lot about truth. I specifically talked about how we know what messages we get from, well, anywhere, can be determined to be "truth, or messages from "God", because, of course, any message ...

Seems like an easy enough question, doesn't it? Then why, I wonder, do so we often choose fear? What? You don't? I'm going to have suggest that you think again. And, I'm going to tell you why. First, we'll need an excerpt from CWG, ...

The year my son died, 1997 brought with it a lot of changes. One of them was that I lost my ability, if such a thing can be called an ability, to enjoy movies I had once done. After the light globe at 15, my life went ...

Tonight I want to talk about what I think is a national disgrace. 47 million Americans have no health insurance. A letter in todays paper quoted Minnesota's last true progressive politician, Hubert Humphrey as saying:
"...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in ...

How we know what is and isn't truth, I mean. People claim God speaks to no one, well, except for a handful of ministers, priests, heads of state and, apparently, the odd terrorist or two. Those people, who say they hear God, tell us what he says. ...

I'm going to start this with an essay from a wonderful man named Steve Goodier. I have gotten his several times a week newsletter for many years. He allows anyone who blogs to use our favorite articles of his freely. So I am, giggle. I actually ...
