2024 And What I think is coming.

I wanted to post a funny list of predictions for the coming year, but I’m in such a dark mindset right now that I just can’t find anything to laugh at in an election year that will surely dig the existing chasm much deeper and wider, so let’s look at what we’re facing. There are…

Independence Day, Someday.

I remember 4th of July from years ago, and wherever we were, the day was filled with pride and wonder. I don't feel that anymore. I wrote that months ago, but I wasn't willing to release this feeling into the world until now. The list of complaints are long but in the end it all…

Run.

I loved to play basketball when I was younger. If I was awake, I was playing, and if I wasn’t playing, I was thinking about playing. In high school, in order to play basketball, you were required to run cross country. In cross country there is the one mile, and the two mile race and…

How To Destroy Your Country 101.

Focus only on what divides you and never on what unites. Elevate the fringes and validate them at the expense of the majority. Demonize your opposition and make them less than human.

Amazing Time To Be Alive.

I think it’s time to raise the white flag and admit that I’ve been beaten. A sitting president who got more votes than any sitting president ever got was beaten at 3:00 in the morning by an old man who did little more than sit in his basement and mumble about building back better than…

Just thinking….

Science doesn’t lie. People on the other hand, in the name of science, often do. Church is filled with two types of people, folks who are looking for something special, and folks who have found something special. Five or six years ago I read an article about the possibility of everything we think is real,…

It’s time to admit a few things.

I’ve spent far too much time looking for political solutions to spiritual problems, and I'm finished believing that our saviour will come from the Republican Party. I’m finished chasing that ball. Chasing that ball will leave you weary and asking questions you won’t bear to answer properly. Questions like How can you never seem to…
