tuesday evening…

Today was a busy but nicely productive day at work. Everything went smoothly with no urgent pleas for help or other distractions. I took a half hour walk before work too and when I got home I did 30 reps on our new crunch machine. After work, I went to Border and since I had …

sunday morning….

I am up and dressed, but no one else is. I was hoping we would all goto church today but this is not likely the case. I suppose I'll have to wait 'til Piglette and Mike's wedding to see Pastor Steve's church. So anyway, now I'm just doing some web surfing. I found this reading …

saturday recap…

I went lurking and prowling today at the mall, Barnes's & Noble, and Borders. Sweetous hung out at home.  This evening we watched a video on demand on TV. It was some sort of bizarre supernatural horror thriller involving nightmares with some truly terrifying imagery. But it was so strange that it was hard to …

tuesday morning…

...yesterday I came down with something and it's still here now; a generalized "yucky" feeling combined with sinus & stomach turmoil. Hopefully this will be gone soon ! Anyway, it's really too hot to go for a bike ride today anyway: 100+ with smog too ! So, last night I took it easy at home …

wednesday morning…

I went for a walk this morning before work and rode my bike with Sweetous both yesterday and the day before ! My Lenovo notebook is in the shop for repairs and now the old Toshiba is not working either ! BALLS ! One good thing about that though is I have been reading more. …

a partially finished essay…

I started writing an essay about some fine points of the law and other assorted bullshit. I went ahead and published it 'cause I was getting tired of sitting here at the PC and I feel the primal urge to go out somewhere to lurk and prowl. The essay is partially "tongue in cheek" but …

notes for sunday morning…

I slept late today, then went and helped Sweetous at the farm. She is watching Parish's farm this weekend, but it's not Parish anymore 'cause the place has new owners. Anyway, it's much easier than it was before 'cause they have fewer animals. I was in the mall yesterday lurking and prowling and I saw …

lunch time and fetish of the day…

I walked to Giant and snagged a sandwich for lunch. So that is twice today that I walked and Sweetous wants to go bike riding after work, so we are doing good as far as exercise is concerned. So far has been a good day at work too... Whil'st I was eating my sandwich I …

computer annoyances…

...my Lenovo notebook is still with the Geek Squad. I checked on it yesterday, they don't know what's the matter with it. They say "more tests". That is just like what Doctor's do, they don't know, so they take a guess and order more tests. Well, I suppose that's all they can do. I've been …

chilling out…

I'm just chilling out listening to music on my computer. I have a playlist of Inca music that I downloaded from URGE. I don't know a lot about the Inca, but I just love their music, some of the most glorious sounds on earth ! The first time I heard it that I can recall …

notes for tuesday…

I feel much better today than I did yesterday; having a "bug" and doing the prep for the VC was not fun. The nurse called me this afternoon; told me I "passed" my test ! So, I'm right pleased with that and won't have to do it again for five years. Today was fairly uneventful …

saturday recap…

I got up at a sort of reasonable hour and went to my office after I had breakfast at Bob Evans. I did get a bunch of boxes packed and ready to ship, so that is good. There are still a lot of old files that need to be banished to the outer darkness though. …

Book Listing Sites

I found a new book listing site today: Revish.  An strange name, I have no idea what it means. Anyway I added the site to the two other book listing sites I belong to: Library Thing and Good Reads. They are all good sites. I think Library Thing has the most information in it, and …

Secret Message

I just finished reading The Secret Message of Jesus. This is an outstanding book; I've read several of McLaren's books and have liked every one of them; for the most part his thought rings very true to me. In Secret Message the author makes the point that the teachings of Jesus were and are about …

you just never know what you’ll see in this blog…

I've been procrastinating but finally today I called to schedule a virtual colonoscopy. Going to the doctor is always a pain in the ass, sometimes quite literally ! LOL ! All joking aside though, everyone in my age group should get a colonoscopy from time to time. It could extend your life. The nurse sent …

a funny one for a saturday afternoon…

Check this one out: If Ancient Rome had the Internet I'm in my office working on my backlog of stuff to do; actually probably won't get a lot done because I'm really tired. Of course that is my own fault 'cause I allowed myself to fall into a cyberspace sinkhole last night, specifically a trashy …

Comments on Isaiah 55

One   of my favorite scriptures is   chapter   55 in Isaiah   .   I'm not sure what the meanings of Isaiah's words would have been to his   contemporaries, but for Christians this chapter contains some real gems. The   chapter opens with an invitation to grace; for those who are hungry …

tuesday lunch time…

I'm at work today, but things are fairly slow at the moment. I spent the morning alternating between a spreadsheet, messing with my blogs, and writing an essay on Isaiah 55 which is one of my favorites. Then I got brain fatigue and so far have not finished it.  I plan on publishing it here and …

The Word

I recently heard someone say, either in church or bible study, that the Word of God is powerful. Absolutly true ! The Jews say they have a Living Torah, and for Christians there is Jesus, the Incarnate Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. …

wise investing…

Reading the The Parable of the Talents in Matthew chapter 25 one could very well think that Jesus was a capitalist, an advocate of shrewd investing with his eye on the bottom line. This interpretation is right to a degree, but is really superficial. Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, …
