The president and Congress are wrangling about a new spending bill. It’s called a Stimulus package and it’s rumoured to cost about $850Billion in funds we do not have.
It’s okay though. We didn’t have $700Billion Congress gave to Wall Street.
We didn’t/don’t have the $1 trillion or more [...]
When I was in high school it was a huge big deal to gather friends and go to Burlington for the day. I lived in a tiny town in central Vermont. There were about 4 stores in the local larger town, so going to Burlington represented shopping, eating and metropolitan nirvana for us backwoods hayseeds. [...]
I’m so angry right now I almost can’t sleep at night. It’s a boiling, gutteral fury. When I try to speak of it, I begin to sputter and use bad language because I don’t have enough words to express the utter depth of my rage.
My in-laws turned 70 this year. My mother will turn 70 [...]
… but I might revise it later
So, as you know I’ve been on vacation. No television (thus no Olympics to squander my braincells). Lots of porch time for pondering. I’ve been doing a lot of reading. I’ve been trying to catch up on my belated Ooze reading (and I have … sort of). Then my [...]
Select up to 20 friends who deserve blessing. Bless 15 more friends, and advanced blessing options will be available.
I found the above directive in Facebook one day.
I can’t decide … part of me thinks this is absolutely hilarious and giggles uncontrollably when I read it. Another part of me finds this very, very sad [...]
“Daddy,” LightGirl twinkled and spun, “do you have ….
… any money?”
The adults nearby sputtered in laughter. One looked at me and said “Daddy?!” I rolled my eyes … she knows how to twist her father around. But he can handle her. It reminded me of an experiment my mother and I [...]
God of all seasons, at times, this Lenten path feels as if it will never end. Deep down, we all know that it will, but the winter seems determined to stay past its welcome and signs of spring are but a dream hovering in the distance. Help us to keep putting the hope of Easter [...]
I just came home from the grocery store after having the following internal conversation with myself:
Self 1: I’m at the grocery store at lunch time. You know, the stuff at home isn’t all that appealing. Why don’t you find something here that you’d like better.
Self 2: (after searching several aisles) eh [...]
So why should any of us care what happens in Kenya, or any of the African nations? Or the Middle East? Or Asia? Or anywhere but our little neighborhood for that matter? What does it matter to us? Why do I care? Why is it important for someone who follows Jesus to care what happens in the lives of people half-way around the world? When the truth of Love has been extinguished, fighting and war breaks out. No one can love their neighbor when hope has left the building.
Yesterday, just as I thought I was getting my head around the mess of spaghetti that is politics in Kenya, I read this:
