Free Streaming of Consciousness
My son sent me another email. I wonder what it is. Maybe he is finally going to come see me and bring my granddaughter to visit her only grandmother. Well I guess she has another grandmother but I live closer, plus I am in a nursing home and we get very lonely here. [...]

Posted in Religion on August 13, 2009 | 18 Comments »
In my studies I have learned that there are two types of Atheists:
1. One’s who believe there is no god
2. One’s who do not believe a god exists
The distinction is small and a bit tedious, but very important to atheists. One is a belief, the other is a lack of belief. The first set believes that [...]

I’ve realized that I don’t fully understand the tenants of atheism and agnosticism as much as I would like to. I have made it a point to define my religion not by one particular denomination but rather as a mix of various spiritual beliefs that make sense to me. I don’t have one religion, I [...]

Okay so maybe I am an alarmist, or extremist, or any other ist that warns about the end of the world, but I can’t help but think about it when I read articles like these on a daily basis:

Dear God, I thank You for the gift of this child to raise,
this life to share, this mind to help mold,
this body to nurture, and this spirit to enrich.
Let me never betray this child’s [...]

I don’t usually watch TV. I don’t have any favorite shows that I tune into every night. I don’t have a regularly scheduled program. So on the days when I do decide to turn on the television, I usually end up turning it off after 15 minutes because I flipped through all of the channels [...]

A coworker recently bought a book for me. “I always buy the first book” she said with pride. It was book one of a twelve book series that is a fictional account based off of the Book of Revelations. I really liked the book, it was a great read and very enlightening. I whipped through [...]

So I was washing my hair, wincing at the pain of Tresemme in paper cuts, when my understanding of the world and God became a tiny percentage clearer. I was so excited about it that I stood there in the shower for an hour just contemplating my new theory.
I built off of my prevailing view of [...]
