Good morning! I’m not saying that as a salutation or because I actual mean it. I’m saying it in place of “Jesus Christ” or “Goddamn!” because those phrases wouldn’t fit a series of Bible analyses because they’d be too literal. Plus, I’ve taken to using “Good morning” in place of “Good God” or “Goddammit” in … Continue reading Genesis 34:1
Him (Reunion)
“What, you’re crying already?” He is sitting in the chair Da’s friend gave me to put in my living room. I’m sitting on the couch and Zimmer the Golden Retriever is snoozing beside me. Poor guy. He had a long day. Started with the first trip to the dog park of the year in all … Continue reading Him (Reunion)

Genesis 25:19
For a superior being, you would think God would have made a better match-maker. Sarah didn’t even give birth to Isaac until she was too old to have kids anymore and Isaac’s wife Rebekah was sterile. So, once again, God had to do the deed and “made” Rebekah pregnant (not to say that there was … Continue reading Genesis 25:19
Genesis 10:8
When I think of writers that are going to make me laugh out loud (not to be confused with LOL) I think of guys like Chuck Klosterman. I never knew Moses and his boys were going to be among the most fun to read (although David Cross did warn me of this once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWOqHHE4upY The … Continue reading Genesis 10:8
Genesis 3:5
First, a little mental housekeeping. I just looked up 5 guys involved with this group of scholars/public speakers I’ve been following lately known collectively as the Intellectual Dark Web. It’s this group of men who meet publicly on stage and on each other’s podcasts and discuss all manner of ideas from spirituality to technology to … Continue reading Genesis 3:5
Expect Delays (No Longer!)
Man, I hate when that happens. I write a blog post and I publish it and in my heart and soul I’m thinking “Ha! Okay, now that that one is outta the way, it’s going to churn out regular blog posts from here on out!” And then like a month goes by and life happens … Continue reading Expect Delays (No Longer!)
Into the Ether
Into the Ether It’s hard getting started. Especially when you don’t know where to start. I’ve written about my break-up with Kim on this blog. I don’t want to or need to really pontificate on the emotional, mental or geographical havoc it wreaked on my life. That time is passed. And its not worth going … Continue reading Into the Ether
A Lesson, but Learned?
What is a "lesson learned?" There are many from the same experience Don't believe everything you think And be picky about wisdom Glean from an experience Only what is really there to be learned And beware of false prophets Be careful with your mind Love it, but with a healthy distrust A hug from a … Continue reading A Lesson, but Learned?
Our Familiar Bed of suffering
Today is Thanksgiving. “Just another day” as he says in Platoon would say. I’m so tired of struggling. Life is struggling. Life is suffering. Suffering means discontent. That’s what the Buddha meant. I’m discontent. I will always be discontent. Unless I want to huddle away like a hermit Like a mole. Like Yoda? At least … Continue reading Our Familiar Bed of suffering
