Random Thoughts, May 10th.


(1) I am pretty bereft of thoughts both random, and nonrandom, after sitting through meetings all day.
(2) Men repeating (and getting credit) for things woman say is a real thing, my friends. 
(3) I loved Anne of Green Gable when I was younger and, of course, the love story between Anne and Gilbert, but the last time I read the book (as an adult) it was the love story between Anne and Marilla that really got me. [Mother's Day]
(4) I don't know if I am doing well enough to return to work full time, but the alternative has included: attempting to get Sam's sock truly white, trying to get dandelions out of our lawn (even though I love dandelions), and spending an inordinate amount of time skulking around the internet reading gossip about my alma mater. The only thing I have to show for this are holes in Sam's socks.

Random Thoughts, July 28th

  1. If you are concerned with real old Biblical sin than to paraphrase Billy Graham's stump sermon-- every time you point a finger you should recognize that four are pointing back at you. If you aren't implicated in your own discourse then you aren't talking about sin you are talking about vice and it is a real short walk to naming the "other" as an inferior, vicious being.   2. God's love should be a constant irritant or you aren't paying close en ough attention. We actually don't get a free pass to hate anyone.  3. I don't think it is accidental that the word cat is found in the word catharsis.  4. I fear that I have too much in common with the Grandmother in a "Good Man is hard to find"
