I finished watching A Christmas Carol starring George C, Scott last night. So far that is my preferred film of the many ones out there. I would also highly recommend the movie The Man Who Invented Christmas Humbug, to you all, said with a smile and a twinkle in the eye can be a source of…

I call your attention to The Word section today. It suddenly dawned on me that there is a marvelous connection between my Lord and Savior, Jesus and the prayers of ancient Israel. As a matter of fact Jesus mentions the Shema in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew and Mark. Jesus heard or prayed this…

Yea, it was really weird watching a guy with a yalmuka (Jewish skull cap) applauding the guy.

I wanted the new Mom to have some time before I released this post. Oh wait, somehow I think I got the wrong idea about what Labor Day was all about. Oh well, to good a post to change it now. I hope the rest of your week goes well. Enjoy the memes.

Hedy Lamarr. Her career spans the early 20th century. Brains and Beauty she patented a “frequency hoping” technology in 1941 that was a foundational concept that led to WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth.

“God’s children are not for sale”.

Just some good memes today in honor of our national celebration.

Lorrie Smith (above) is a web designer in the Peoples Republik of Colorado. Her case was settled by the Supreme Court on Friday (the last day of P-ride Month). Basically decided by the court is this, Nobody can compel you to say or do or make a speech or art or printed material that goes…

Very recently the US Supreme Court struck down race based admissions to colleges and universities. I have been a court watcher for some time now and have a few thoughts to very briefly share. 1. I think Justice Thomas is a rock star. I have not read the whole opinion but have read his whole…

Above is Jim Bob and Michell Duggar leading their children on an outing. The Duggars subscribed to an interpretation of scripture that believed a couple should have as many children as they could. This sometimes is referred to as Quiver-Full theology. See The Word reference below. Their spiritual guru, Bill Gothard taught the same thing.…

I don’t usually do reviews of books, movies etc. I did see the documentary, Shiny Happy People subtitled Dugger Family Secrets. I will make this brief as I intend to do more than one edition about this 4 part documentary. I initially was very skeptical that this was a liberal Hollywood hit piece on a…

Well today is June 14th. Flag Day, how do ya like dem flags. Makes me sick. Makes me want to have a full body dry heave. The party and the speech by (P)resident Biden were sheer debauchery. Check out this article from the Powerline Blog and warning they link to a curated video of the…

Just too many memes. A Tuesday that comes after a Monday holiday, but you still have all the Monday stuff to do. I call those Monday Tuesdays. Well, whatever you call them my life is out of synch with the rhythm of life for a while. Enjoy an extra Wit today.

Well, you can tell by the title of this post that I got distracted. Have a very blessed Memorial Day Weekend.

At first I was an ardent supporter of the war in Ukraine. Tiny neighbor being picked on by ruthless autocratic ruler next door. Casualties mount as a ruthless dictator tries for territorial conquest and where will it end. A piece of Poland here a snippet of the Czech Republic there. Enough Russians live in NYNY…

Today is the anniversary of the death of Emperor Constantine. It was 1,686 years ago (just for the record). The fancy latin title of this post is something he said he saw in the sky over a battlefield (by this, or in this sign {the Cross} conquer). He won so he took it as an…

I’ll make this brief and include a link to a good column by Jeff Jacoby. America is a young country and compared to the empires of Europe and Asia the American Civil War was not that long ago. If you remember your history a South Carolina Congressman beat Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner nearly to death…

I found a string of coronation related memes which I included today and the cute one I commented on and linked to a Youtube video below. Enjoy you post Mother’s Day Monday. The cute meme above always makes me think of the telephone soliloquy performed in the movie, Taken by Liam Neeson. If you have…

Today there are just too many good things to celebrate as a special day. First one I want to salute is military spouses day. Words fail me in how to express gratitude to my spouse who proudly wore the moniker of “Air Force brat” and in a few short years became the bride of a…

I didn’t even know this was a thing. C’mon man, just one day for the twilight zone. I live in America, 2023 where it feels like I get zoned everyday. I do remember the show of course. Rod Serling the creator and host of the show was great. One of my home town myths was…

I remember few times in my childhood when Old Glory was flown at half staff. I was in 3rd grade when President Kennedy was assassinated. The flag on the pole in front of the school was lowered and each and every classroom flag was trimmed with a black streamer. It was a simple paper mache…

Yesterday I talked about Karl Barth. I vaguely remembered my professor saying his systematic theology was nicknamed “The Blue Whale”. It weighed in at nearly 9000 pages and 14 volumes. It was originally published in a pale blue leather binding. I finally found a picture of it in German. Its real title is Church Dogmatics.…

I again call your attention the the Wisdom and The Word section. When I was being trained in the ways of theology much bother was paid to whether a theologian was liberal or conservative/fundamentalist or moderate. Now I look at life through the prism of what were people experiencing. Karl Barth was a famous theologian…
