Blog #700

Not sure how I missed this. But at some point last week, I wrote my 700th post. If you can’t have quality, go for quantity!

Theology for dummies (nomenclature, part 1)

Eggnogstic: Individuals who believe that the trinity is nothing like the reproductive system of a chicken or its offspring.

Spooky Spells (alternative title: Altered States)

I had lunch with a friend today. We were kidding around when the topic of religion came up. We have similar backgrounds and have complementary world views. He said something that, while making me laugh, took me to another place and time, when I was another person. It would be like watching someone brush their […]

Junior High Boy Is Alive and Well

When you are in Junior High, you have sex on the brain 24/7. Every dirty word, every dirty thought is a new vista. Not a word or phrase can be thought or uttered without first trying to make a sex joke out of it. So I was watching a Ted video on Sunday and someone […]
