Would you happen to remember that Bible story in which God created Eden? Let’s say, at the center of Eden, He put cages. He then later commanded Adam and Eve, “Don’t put your kids in there.” So, that there was a trap. But, the transgression is yet a sin. And this sin was punishable by expulsion. Yet there are truly Godless men today who claim it does not even merit impeachment.

Say you have a package coming from UPS

You’re not home, so the UPS driver kicks in your door during package delivery.

You sue UPS

The Supreme Court now says, “You can’t sue a company for the actions of it’s employee.”

You sue the employee

The Supreme Court now says, “You can’t sue an employee for actions performed in the service of a company.” (That workplace being your door at…

In Case I’m Murdered

I have an alcoholic neighbor that I’ve bickered with for years. I call him Ralph, though that’s not his name, just because I see his face twist as I say so. Anyway, his son – who moved away years ago and for whom I had only antipathy – the young man recently died.

In a brief moment of grief, Ralph told another neighbor, who told me. I said nothing, but Ralph discovered I was the single person…

There are two kinds of ‘smart’ in this world. There is the ‘tie your shoes’ smart, and there is ‘sipping tea with the queen’ kind of smart. The latter enjoy someone else tying their shoes when they sip tea.

Issues in the Cycle of Life and Death

Perhaps dissonant Evangelical logic between abortion and capital punishment is that if you’re going to send more soldiers for Satan to the fires of Hell, God is going to need more angels for His war. And so poor children preferably die young; that they yet might become cherubs because of their innocence.

Lyin’, Cheatin’, Hurtin’, That’s All You Seem To Do

In honest hostility, I have attributed songs to my three worstly broken relationships. They are Material Girl by Madonna – which I never particularly cared for anyway, Your Time Is Gonna Come by Led Zeppelin – ironic because my next relationship vowed never to listen to Led Zeppelin except with the man she married, and Ticket To Ride by The Beatles – I do wonder if that lottery winner now listens…

All You Have Been Told

That’s not the color of his skin. That’s not the color of his hair. That’s not how tall he is. That’s not how much he weighs. That’s not how much he is worth. And he lies every day. But he is our president. – Matthew Sawyer

I wondered where a strange blister between my toes came from ….

I thought I was being a hypochondriac when I had moments where I’ve had to catch my breath, or I became light-headed, felt a scratchy throat. And I may had a fever that overlapped a couple days I had no appetite at all, but none of this slowed me down. Quite possibly, I had the virus. I don’t know. If you think, “But you’re old,”…

Have you ever noticed the volumes, or rather the dimensions, of items bought in stores? For instances, the circumference of a coffee can is the same as a tub of oatmeal; or that a tuna can is the same width all around as the lid of a jar of peanut butter. Evangelical Republicans say God did that.

“There are stories, in which you have a part, that have not yet begun.”

President Trump Sings Michael Jackson

President Trump speaks to supporters at one of his rallies. He tells the deplorable audience. “I can prove I’m not racist. I’ll sing a song to written by a dear, dear dead friend. He knew Jeffrey Epstein, too. You might want to look into that. Anyway, he it goes.”

“I’m looking at Representative Cummings. I’m asking him to make a change. No message could have been any clearer. If you want to make…

The only reason faith fails to work is because of lack of faith.

The only reason faith fails to work is because of lack of money.

In the beginning, God was very fickle. God was prone to often change his mind. The Israelites recognized their Lord’s erratic behavior, so they wrote down everything He said and did. Brave prophets, such as Moses, used this holy verse to remind Him. After a short while, God got angry and declared He was perfect and immutable, and so scribes recorded as much. And soon after discovering His…

Nay, not a warning, friend. But an image of what will come. Whence the future. President Trump will soon claim Mexico has stopped enriching uranium beyond what is allowed in the USMCA. And Iran will pay for a tall, beautiful concrete wall the whole length of its Iraq border. This, in visions whilst in fitful mediation, is what winning looks like.

There is that rough estimate that the human body is two-thirds composed of liquid – more specifically, the stuff in arteries and intestinal tracts. A torn gut could spill out the most human fluid from a body. The rest would have to be wrung out like greasy water from a wet dishcloth.
